Ashraat:
The singular of Ashraat is called 'Shart'. It refers to the signs and causes of The Hour that shall occur after when Hazrat Isra'afil (A.S) will blow the trumpet, where the sound of it will be so extreme, that it will bleed the ears of the whole mankind. This will mark the beginning of the end of the world.
Al-Saa'ah:
It may be defined as 'the short period of time'. It corresponds to 'The Hour' when momentous unfolding of catastrophic, lamentable, apocalyptic, direful events shall occur which may eventually eradicate the whole of the universe.
A hadith related to the Hour:
It is narrated by Abu Huraira(R.A):
While the Prophet(S.A.W) was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him,
"When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?"
Allah's Apostle (S.A.W) continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allah's Apostle(S.A.W) had not heard it. When the Prophet (S.A.W) finished his speech, he said,
"Where is the questioner, who inquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?"
The Bedouin said,
"I am here, O Allah's Apostle ."
Then the Prophet(S.A.W) said,
"When honesty is lost, then wait for the Doomsday."
The Bedouin asked,
"How will that be lost?"
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W)replied:
"When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)" (Sahih Bukhari)
