 The exact time when these events will occur is unknown, however there are said to be major and minor signs which are to occur near the time of "Qiyamah" (end time).Many Qur'anic verses, especially the earlier ones, are dominated by the idea of the nearing of the day of resurrection.In the sign of "nafkhatu'l-ula", a trumpet will be sounded for the first time, and result in the death of the remaining sinners.
