The End Of Time

The end of time, the final day, or Doomsday usually refer to eschatological writings in the three Abraham's religions : Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The end of time is often described as a period characterized by the distress that precedes the second coming of the Messiah that was prophesied. Messiah is the figure who will usher the coming of the Kingdom of God and end the suffering and evil. However, detailed descriptions of these events depends on the beliefs each of which is studied.
A number of religions and traditions have beliefs about the end times, which produces various belief systems, traditions, and behaviors.

Yaum al-Qiyamah (Arabic: يوم القيامة) is a day late for all God's creatures. Islam gives clear guidance to his followers about the end times. There are various signs (to 100) contained in the Quran and Sunnah concerning the coming of the End Times. These signs can be divided into two parts, a large (Kubra) and small (Sughra). Large signs include the arrival of the Antichrist, Imam Mahdi and then Prophet Jesus (which would unite all the forces of good against evil), he blew the trumpet and small signs that will precede it.

Islamic eschatology associated with the Qiyamah (Judgement), the end of the world, and the final judgments of mankind. Eschatology is one of the six pillars of Faith (Aqeedah) in Islam. Like the other Abraham's religions, Islam teaches the bodily resurrection of the dead, the fulfillment of a divine plan for creation, and the immortality of the human soul; the righteous will be rewarded with the pleasures of Jannah (paradise), while the wicked will be punished in Hell. Al-Quran discuss a lot of these beliefs, with many hadith which describes the themes and details. Islamic apocalyptic literature describing the Armageddon is often known as fitna (a test) and malahim (or ghayba in Shia tradition).

The scholars divide into two parts, namely Judgement:

Judgement Shugra (small), namely the death of every human being and can also be of natural disasters;

Judgement Kubra (total), which was destroyed and an end to all physical and legal world of mortals.
