Major Signs of the Hour
Understand the major signs of Qiyāmah through the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ, strengthening your īmān and connection to the Ākhirah.
About The Course
We are living in times of increasing trials and fitan, making it essential for every Muslim to remain aware of what the Prophet ﷺ foretold — not only to recognise the signs around us, but to understand what lies ahead.
The major signs of Qiyāmah are among the most significant events described by the Prophet ﷺ — realities that will unfold before the Day of Judgment and mark the final phase of this world.
Yet for many, understanding of these signs remains unclear, shaped by scattered information and unverified claims, leaving them unsure of how to relate this knowledge to their faith and preparation for the Hereafter.
Major Signs of the Hour is an introductory course that brings focus back to this important area of belief, helping you reconnect with what the Prophet ﷺ taught about these final events.
It is designed for those seeking a sound starting point — enabling you to approach the topic with greater confidence and a more conscious awareness of the Hereafter.

Recap, Conclusion and Q&A
Course Overview
The focus of this course is on the major signs of Qiyāmah — the final events that will unfold before the Day of Judgment, each carrying deep significance for a believer’s understanding of the Hereafter.
It is intended for anyone seeking to move beyond surface-level exposure to this topic and engage with it in a more meaningful and thoughtful way, whether encountering it for the first time or revisiting it with fresh perspective.
Reflecting on these signs is not simply about knowing what will happen, but about understanding their purpose. The Prophet ﷺ used these reminders to awaken hearts, encourage obedience, and direct attention away from worldly attachment toward the reality of the Hereafter.
Through this, the study of the major signs becomes a means of renewing perspective — helping you develop a more conscious relationship with your faith, your actions, and what ultimately lies ahead.
