Maskh, Khusf, and Qazf
Some people will experience the following: Maskh (change in physical appearance such as a human becoming an animal), Khusf (landslide), and Qazf (bombardment).
It has been reported by several different
narrators that Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said: "For
those at the end of my nation (or close to the Hour of Resurrection), there
will be (they will experience) Maskh (change in physical appearance such as a
human becoming an animal), Khusf (landslide), and Qazf (bombardment)."
(Tirmizi & Ibn Maja)
The Destruction of the Ka'ba
One of the last signs of the Day of Resurrection is the destruction of the Ka'ba by Zul-Suwayqatayn. He is from Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and will destroy the Ka'ba in order to steal its treasure and Kiswah (Ka'ba's cover). The Ka'ba is a holy shrine for Muslims, located at the center of the main mosque of Mecca, known as Masjid Al-Haram. It is the ancient shrine which was built by Abraham, and whose foundations were laid by Adam.
AbduAllah ﷻ ibn Amr said I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: " Zul-Suwayqatayn from Al-Habasha ( Abyssinia or Ethiopia) will destroy the Ka'ba and steal its treasure and Kiswah (cover). It is as if I could see him now: he is bald-headed and has a distortion in his wrists. He will strike the Ka'ba with his spade and pick-axe." (Musnad Ahmad)
Ibn 'Abbas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is as if I can see him now: he is Black and his legs are widely spaced (bow-legged). He will destroy the Ka'bah stone by stone." (Musnad Ahmad)
