It's not in the Quran, the sources is a Hadith.
Just like most of these "prophecies"; ironically enough the Quran stated that the "hour" never comes unless by surprise; i.e nobody will know anything, and stated in so many verses that Mohammed knows nothing about the time of that day.
Sura 51
( 10 ) Destroyed are the falsifiers
( 11 ) Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.
( 12 ) They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"
( 13 ) the Day they will be tormented over the Fire
( 14 ) "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."
But Sunni and Shiite Muslims, build their beliefs on what they call "the end of times"; using the Hadith to come up with the strangest beliefs that has no base in the Quran and hence: even criticized ?
I mean, this is a verse:
Sura 7
( 187 ) They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know."
So the two dilemmas that Sunnies and Shiites face: isn't it a little bit contradictory for an unexpected event to have signs so obvious?
and then, didn't the God of Moammed say, that nobody would reveal it to its time but him?
