Among the signs...

The Messenger of Allah said:

"The Hour (Last Day) will not be established until (religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious learned men), earthquakes will be very frequent, time will pass quickly, afflictions will appear, murders will increase and money will overflow amongst you." 

(See Hadith No. 85 Vol 1). (Bukhari, Book #17, Hadith #146)

There are two theories with regards to this:

1. Time appears to be passing by quickly - because there is no barakaat in our lives/ actions, and in the manner that we spend our time.

2. Another possibility is that our days will literally be shorter - perhaps for some cosmic reason, there will come a time when our days will be shorter than 24 hours, and our years shorter than 365 days.

The first theory is the more favoured one.....indeed, we are all expierencing this.

And Allah (subhana wata'ala) knows best.
