Major Signs before the Day of Judgement (10.The Fire)

The last major sign to appear before the Day of Judgement is the fire 

which will come out from the Yemen and gather the people in the place of their assembly. 

In the Hadith of Hudaifa-b-Usaid regarding the Major signs the Prophet Peace and blessings be upon him said, "At the end of which a fire would burn out from Yemen and would drive people to the place of their assembly." (Muslim)

Narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A) the Prophet Peace and blessings be upon him said, "The people will be gathered in three ways:

1.The first way will be of those who will wish or have a hope 

(for paradise) and will have a fear (of punishment).

2.The second batch will be those who will gather riding, two on a camel or three on a camel or ten on a camel.

3.The third batch will be the rest of the people who will be urged to gather by the fire which will accompany them at the time of their afternoon nap and stay with them where they will spend the night, and will be with them in the morning wherever they may be then, and will be with them in the afternoon wherever they may be then.
