Signs of day of judgement

The meaning of the Arabic word Qiyamah is something that happens all of a sudden. In the terminology of Quran, it is an important event that would occur at the end of the world and continue thereafter. All prophets have informed about this significant event.

"And on the day when He will gather them as though they had not stayed but an hour of the day" ( Quran 10:45)

According to the Holy Quran the arrival of that day is absolutely imminent and it says: There is no doubt about it. But it has not mentioned the exact date of this event and has introduced it only as something, which would come all of a sudden.

There are various signs of the coming of the Day of Judgment, both major and minor, but all of them show how and when the time will come.
