According to Hadeeth: Signs of Qiyamah:
The following was part of a lengthy Hadith by Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (R.A.) when he asked the Prophet (PBUH) about the Signs of Qiyamah.
- Songs and musical instruments will be found in every home.

Auf bin Malik (R.A.) said once, I visited a prophet (PBUH) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition. He said to me,
“Count six signs of Qyamah before the arrival of Qayamat:
1 My death
2 The conquest of Jerusalem
3 Mass deaths among you people, just as when sheep die in large numbers during an epidemic
4 Great quantity of wealth to such an amount that if a person were to be given a hundred Dinars, he would still not be pleased
5 General anarchism and killing that no Arab household will be spared from it
6 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 force consisting of eighty flags, and under each flag will be an army of twelve thousand men.” (Hadith: Sahih Bukhari).
