Prophet ﷺ Muhammad warned us about the "Last Days"
🕋 1. علامات الساعة - Signs of the Hour

يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ، وَيَنْقُصُ العِلْمُ، وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ، وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ، وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ
(قالوا: وما الْهَرْجُ؟ قال: القتل، القتل)
Transliteration:
Yataqārabu al-zamān, wa yanquṣu al-‘ilm, wa taẓharu al-fitanu, wa yulqā al-shuḥḥ, wa yakthuru al-harj.
(Qālū: wa mā al-harj? Qāla: al-qatl, al-qatl)

"Time will pass quickly, knowledge will decrease, trials will appear, greed will be cast into hearts, and killing will increase."
(They asked: "What is killing?" He said: "Killing, killing.")
(Bukhari & Muslim)
☪️ 2. الساعة لا تقوم حتى... - The Hour will not be established until…
Arabic:
لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ العِلْمُ، وَتَكْثُرَ الزَّلَازِلُ، وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ، وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ، وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ

Inna bayna yaday al-sā‘ah la-ayyāman yurfa‘u fīhā al-‘ilm, wa yanzilu fīhā al-jahl, wa yakthuru fīhā al-harj, wa al-harju al-qatl.
