One of the signs the end is drawing near is time moving at a fast pace. I DO notice that time seems to be moving much faster compared to how I perceived it in childhood, anybody else notice this? Anybody notice any other signs of doomsday that seem obvious?

Yeah try to spend 8am to 4pm in our office place, it seems like watches are out of order or jammed...
or try to meet a guy who live hand-to-mouth and have to wait for his salary every month, the 30 days gap in that case seems to be year long.
or see a person who cannot buy food and have to live without it, for him the waiting period is like centuries spend...
but do get passed very fast for those who have nothing do!
Re: time moving at a fast pace...
Peace All,
I agree with OP that if we compare the time of today with past, than 'yes' its really moving fast and as per hadith in Sahih Bukhari [posted in another thread] this one of may signs of end of the world.
Whether a peron is working of jobless the time is moving fast and we can feel that. I remember we wait for weekend holidays which comes after 5 days but in those days, were like come after a month but now you'll feel that every two days weekends just came. I remember in Past after Dhuhar or Asr prayer, a person realize that keeping fasting isn't that easy but nowadays its just like other ordinary days.
Before starting of ramadhan, i thought this month will be same as old days and we really feel tiredness, hunger, thrist etc., but i didn't felt anything. Before 'Iftari' we distribute the 'Iftari' meals in our neighbour and nowadays only few pplz do so. I think 'Time' is changed now.
IMO time is always the same…people change.

Peace stonecold,
There is a hadith mentioned that the time will move faster than before.
Re: time moving at a fast pace...
when you're on tv, mobile phone, internet 24/7, of course, the time will pass faster.
Re: time moving at a fast pace…
Peace Hareem,
Oky. If we keep ourself busy by using these thing of’coz the time will pass faster. So these all technology is ‘Fitna’ ![]()
Of course I agree with hadith....

I agree with this time moves faster when we are using technology, I think this is a factor.
Re: time moving at a fast pace...
Regardless of whether I'm keeping myself busy or not, when I compare to my childhood, then yes time is definitely moving faster.
Other notable signs are: a rise in homosexuality, a slow change in climate, violence and bloodshed...etc.

Re: time moving at a fast pace...
how is it passing fast? the seconds are the same seconds, the minutes the same minutes. I dont know why religious people keep coming up with stupid arguments. the world was supposed to end in may this year according to one prediction, wasnt it?
edited. all religions are the same with different holidays.
Re: time moving at a fast pace…
How can Prophet
ever be wrong
Re: time moving at a fast pace…
this looks so relevant when we cross reference this with another hadith of the Prophet (SAW), in which he mentioned that earthquakes will come in such abundance as if a beads coming out of a broken tasbheeh.

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute."
Time is relative.

Peace Jaanaan,
Time passing fast doesn’t means one looks at his or her watch and think whether its ticking fast or not, neither religious peoples are talking about measuring the passing of time by a clock or watch, or measuring interval of time such as an hour or minutes or seconds. Religion teaches that God is the Giver of the time but He is also the Withholder. God reminds us that time passes quickly and can never return, it is irretrievable and it is the most precious gift that humankind possesses and can be taken from us at any given moment.
Being a Muslim, I believe both the Quran and the Hadith Books make it clear that Islam considers time to a very valuable resource. Believers are encouraged to be conscious of time, to recognize its importance and to organize it wisely. If human beings do not waste or abuse time, but rather think of it as a blessing from God then they have every reason to hope for success both in this life and in the hereafter.
Everyone knows something but of which no one can fully explain the exact significance of time. Time searches out and destroys everything material. No one in secular literature has expressed the tyranny of ‘never-resting time’ better than Shakespeare in his Sonnets.
For example:
**
Never-resting time **- Sonnet 5
Nothing gains time’s scythe can make defence - Sonnet 12
When I have seen by time’s hand defaced. The rich proud cost of outworn buried age - Sonnet 64
If we merely run a race against time, we shall lose. It is the spiritual part of us that conquers time.
Lastly I’ll quote one Hadith from the Book ‘To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)’ of Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 421.
**
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet
said**, “There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) Health and free time for doing good.”
