Ten (10) Major Signs of the Day of Judgment
عن حذيفة رضى الله عنه عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : إنها لن تقوم حتى ترون قبلها عشر آيات فذكر الدخان والدجال والدابة وطلوع الشمس من مغربها ونزول عيسى بن مريم ، ويأجوج ومأجوج وثلاثة خسوف خسف بالمشرق وخسف بالمغرب وخسف بجزيرة العرب وآخر ذلك نار تخرج من اليمن تطرد الناس إلى محشرهم
It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The Day of Judgment will never be established until you see ten signs, then he counted them:
➊ Smoke
➋ The Dajjal (Antichrist)
➌ The Beast (Dabbat al-ard)
➍ The sun rising from the west
➎ The descent of Hazrat Isa (Jesus) (peace be upon him)
➏ The emergence of Gog and Magog (Yajuj and Majuj)
➐ The East
➑ The West
➒ And the earth swallowing some people in three places in the Arabian Peninsula
➓ And lastly, a fire will emerge from Yemen that will drive people towards the place of gathering (Mahshar).

Sequence of the Major Signs of the Day of Judgment:
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: The signs (of the Day of Judgment) are like a necklace strung together, and if this necklace is cut, they will scatter (and come to pass).
