Has the Day of Resurrection drawn near due to the abundance of people's sins in the present time?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Quranic texts and prophetic traditions indicate the proximity of the Hour. Allah Almighty has shown that people are heedless of its approach, that Allah's command has come, and it is mentioned that the Hour has drawn near and the moon has split. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that the one (angel) entrusted with the trumpet is ready to blow it, that the Hour will not be established except upon the worst of people, and that the righteous will depart, leaving behind those whom Allah does not care about. He also explained that among the signs of the Hour are the scarcity of knowledge, the prevalence of ignorance, adultery, the abundance of women, and the scarcity of men. He mentioned that there will be sinkings, pelting, and transformations if musical instruments and female singers appear and alcohol is considered lawful. These texts affirm that the abundance of sins and disobedience are signs of the Hour's proximity, and that disbelievers consider it far off, while Allah sees it as near.
