We’re closer to the Hour than many realize

Back when I was 11 or 12, about 16 years ago, I came across the minor signs of the Day of Judgment. Even then, so many were already unfolding-SubhanAllah, it felt like only a few were left. I remember reading some signs and thinking, no way these will happen in our lifetime, like people going back to worshipping idols. Yet here we are. Countries like the UAE never had Hindu temples before, and now in 2026 they do. SubhanAllah, Muslims are visiting them and taking part in idol worship rituals. It’s not just that-haram is everywhere in ways that were rare back then. Things like openly promoting zina, where millions engage in it or buy it on so many platforms. Nowadays, nobody is shocked if they hear about people committing zina in public, right on the street like animals. The Prophet ﷺ said this is how people will be when the Hour comes upon them, the worst of creation. We’re seeing this with our own eyes, even in Muslim countries. Another sign slowly appearing is the drying up of the Euphrates River, which will uncover a mountain of gold. By 2040, or maybe even sooner, it’s expected to dry up-SubhanAllah. That’s when Al-Mahdi may emerge, before or after. The end is near, yet many fool themselves into thinking we have ages. Not all minor signs have to happen before the major ones; some come during them. We need to wake up and prepare.
