Future Prophecies are always fun. Here are some "Signs of the Approching Day of Judgement" in Islam.
Lets already due away with the "social" things like increasing friction between parents and children, pre-marital sex, drinking, out of wed lock babies, etc.
1. Death of Muhammad "SAW". His passing and the loss of the Ummah.
2. Thirty some years of Khalifate. The Khilafat Rashidun.
3. A Great Fire in the Arab Peninsula. A Volcanic eruption; the fire's glaze seen all the way in As-Shaam.
4. Overtake the Persians into Islam. The destruction of the Sassanid Empire and the Islamicization of their farthest provinces in Central Asia and Sindh-Multan.
5. Plauge : Black Death of the Middle East. Killed many Sahabah during the war with the Byzantines.
6. Islamic Civil War. Two people wanting the same thing will war against each other. The War of Madinah under Khalif Yazid. The war against Khalif Ali (RAA) and Aisha (RAA); the war against Khalif Ali (RAA) and Muawiya.
7. The disapearance of (Islamic) knowledge and the appearance of (Islamic) ignorance. Writing will be widespread but Islamic Knowledge will be low.
8. Corruption will increase. Both in business and in life. Disrespect of the Parents and especially the Mother. Sexual indeciencies will increase (homosexuality, pre-marital). Usury and unfair distribution of wealth, etc. Thighs exposed in the marketplace. People will talk loudly in the masjid. The disrespect of the Islamic Scholars. Disregard for the religion. Confusion in the religion. Intense Schism.
10. The Muslims will war with the Turks. And it will be seen that some of the best people outside of this religion will become some of the best people within this religion.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour will not be established till you fight a nation wearing hairy shoes, and till you fight the
turks, who will have small eyes, red faces and flat noses; and their faces will be like flat shields. And you will find that the best people are those who hate responsibility of ruling most of all till they are chosen to be the rulers. And the people are of different natures: The best in the pre-lslamic period are the best in Islam. A time will come when any of you will love to see me rather than to have his family and property doubled."
(Book #56, Hadith #787)

14. You will be attacked by the nations of the worlds. Not because you are weak in number, but because you fear death and dispute intensley between one another.
15. Abu Nadra reported:" We were in the company of Jabir b. 'Abdulldh that he said it may happen that the people of Iraq may not send their qafiz and dirhams (their measures of food stuff and their money). We said: Who would be respolisible for it? He said: The non_Arabs would prevt them. He again said: There is the possibility that the people of Syria may not send their dinar and mudd. We said: Who would be responsible for it? He said This prevention would be made by the
romans. He (Jabir b. Abdullab) kept quiet for a while and then reported Allah', s Messengdt (may peas be upon him) having said There would be a caliph in the last (period) of my Ummah who would freely give handfuls of wealth to thd people wiothout counting it. I said to Abu Nadra and Abu al-'Ala: DO you mean 'Umarb. 'Abd al-Aziz? They said: No (he would be Imam Mahdi.).
(Book #041, Hadith #6961)
16. Mustaurid Qurashi reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The Last Hour would come when the romans would form a majority amongst people. This reached 'Amr b. al-'As and he said: What are these ahadith which are being transmitted from you and which you claim to have heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? Mustaurid said to him: I stated only that which I heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). Thereupon 'Amr said: If you state this (it is true), for they have the power of tolerance amongst people at the time of turmoil and restore themselves to sanity after trouble, and are good amongst people so far as the destitute and the weak are concerned.
