The Signs of Qiyama

Auf bin Malik says: "I came to Rasoolullah (S.A.W) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition. He said to me, "Count six things before the advent of Qiyama:

* My death
* The conquest of Jerusalem
* Mass deaths amongst you people, just as when sheep die in large numbers during an epidemic.
* Abundance of wealth to such an extent that if a person were to be given a hundred Dinars he will still not be satisfied
* General anarchy and bloodshed, that no Arab household will be spared
from it.
* Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between you
and the Banil Asfaar (Romans) which they will break and attack you with a force consisting of eighty flags and under each flag will be an army of twelve thousand men."

(Bukhari).
