The world we now live in, is not eternal. According to Islamic traditions, near the end of the world, there would be lot of ills. Famine, unusual change of weather, floods etc. Rich will get richer and would not pay heed to the poor. Then there would come an imposter, Dajjal. He would first proclaim himself as kng, then a god. It is said that he'd have one-eye in the middle of his forehead (but I don't know if Dajjal exists physically or is a symbolism). But according to most of the traditions, he's a physical being who is living some place and would appear only after all of the signs have appeared.
Even the staunchest of Muslims would dread Dajjal coz he'd have power over life n death, over rivers and seas and ever rains. God would test His TRUE followers during that period. Only the Muslims pure enough at the core of their hearts would dare to defy Dajjal's authority. And they would raise their own army, everyone one of them staunch believer and brave to the core.
The hints given to the Muslims about the geographic location of this army is believed to be what is the West side of Pakistan, East side of Afghanistan and Iran, and ex-USSR Muslim states (especially Chechnya). The army would comprise of Muslims of different nations, and their symbol would be a black flag that'd have the first Kalima (declaration to the belief of Oneness of God and Muhammad as being His prophet). Thus, they'd be known as Black-Flag Bearer. After conquering all of the countries that come their way, they'd be relatively very few in number. In other words, there would be only two nations left at that time, one Muslims and the other non-Muslims. All of the non-Muslims from all races and religions would combine their strengths to finsish off those leftover Muslims. In their final battle, they'd be offering their Fajar prayers (the morning prayers that's offered before sunrise) and in their hearts n minds the Black-Flag Bearer would know that today's the Final Day, all of the non-Muslim forces would be gathering outside Majid Aqsa (in Jerusalem) and would be waiting for the Muslims to start their offensive.
At that time, Jesus would appear before them. He'd be leading the Muslims thereafter. The Dajjal would runaway seeing Jesus, and would be killed at the gates of Lydh by the hands of Jesus.
After that episode, the entire population would convert to Islam. And gradually the world would have fewer and fewer religious scholars (no non-Muslims, therefore no need for research on religious preachings, therefore lack of religious people). And the time would come when the Muslims would drift away from Islam as well, and finally a person who's described as a short man with lean legs and belonging to some African country would invade the Holy Ka'aba at Makkah. After that, a chain of disasters would come and the Death Trumpet (I don't know that proper name of that instrument in English, it's known as Soor in Arabic) would be blowed by Angel Israafeel. All of the humanity would die with the blow of that trumpet. The 2nd blowing of that trumpet would awaken the dead, for the Doomsday accountability.
A person always has the chance of asking forgiveness for his sins. Seeking forgiveness (Toba) has been emphasized upon in Islam. but before the end of the world, one day the sun would rise from the West, instead of the East. That would mark the day after which no forgiving of sins would be granted. After that, the sun would rise from the East as usual, but the life and the thoughts of future to come would be dreadful to every Muslim, as there would be no forgiveness of sins after that day.
Major signs of Doomsday.
1. Famine would take place.
2. There would erupt a mountain of black gold from the beds of River Euphrates (in Iraq).
3. Women would ride horses (or be in authority).
4. Children would not respect their parents.
5. The most wicked of them all would be most praised. Not out of respect but out of fear.
6. Adultery and rape would be rampant.
7. Food will be scarce.
8. The value of silver would rise comparatively than gold.
9. Whole of the world would be trapped in Usury system.
10. There would be a lot of Muslims, but not following true Islam.
11. There would be an abundance of information but lack of wisdom.
12. People would have more space for their friends, than their parents.
13. People would love wine and women, and would merily eat pork.
Yes, all of these signs have been foretold not now, but 1400 years ago by a shepherd in Arabia who couldn't read or write, namely Muhammad. The Quran says that the one who believes that Allah is One, and Muhammad is His final messenger (I'm not saying the only messenger, but final messenger. Abraham, Jesus, Jacob, Joseph, David all of them were messengers of Allah) is guaranteed paradise in the end.

The appointed time when the universe and every creature in it, from microorganisms to human beings, including stars and galaxies, will come to an end, is called the "Hour" in the Qur'an. This "Hour" refers to not just any hour; but is a word used specifically in the Qur'an to refer to that time when the world will come to an end.
Along with the announcement of the end of the world, the Qur'an contains detailed descriptions of the process of that event: "When the sky bursts open," "When the oceans surge into each other," "When the mountains are pulverized," "When the sun is compacted in blackness…" The horror and panic that people will experience at this dreadful calamity is related in detail in the Qur'an; the verses emphasize that there will be no escape and no place to hide. What we can conclude from this that the end of the world will be a catastrophe such as the world has never experienced before. Details of that even may also be found in other books of ours entitled, The Day of Resurrection, Death Resurrection Hell. This present book will treat the events that will happen as the Last Day approaches.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface. This website will show you how to save a marriage and avoid divorce, even if you're the only one trying https://tr.im/46gML

The life on earth will be finished for all beings. It is on the last day (judgement day). The believers and unbelievers will be judged then. No exist of the earth life after that day because it is the new stage of human being lifespan.
Earth life is just a stage we should go through.
Peace

Not all Muslims will go to heaven, we do not know if we will or not. We can only do good in life and hope Allah will forgive our sins, but Allah the most just.
I'm not sure what you mean with you main question, do you mean stuff like global warming, the future of the earth or, like peace?

The answers coming back indicate a widespread MIS-understanding of what is written...so there cannot possibly be any overall agreement.
There can be only ONE true outcome for people....so there has to be only ONE true prophecy...
So far, Islam has not found it . So it negates the whole religion...

There is only one way to heaven thatis by the acceptance of the Son of God Jesus Christ for if you reject him the sonn you also reject the father (God). god gave us a way of forgiveness it was something we was not worthy have for we all have sinned and we come short of the glory of God for that reason we would never be able to able to get to even for the blodd that runs through are veins are evil and God is pure and cannot have evil evn close to GOd. So he sent is one and only begotten sign not to condemn the world but to save the world from the depths of hell and how did he do this by doing the ultimate sacrifice that being His son which is a part of God by giving the blood of the scarficail lamb he gave atonment for the sins of mankind and allowed us within his presence. there is only one way to heaven and that is through jesus and to born again in the spirit. to accept Jesus as your true savior and put away all the lies that satin is confusing you by. I want to see you in heaven please just have Faith for it is by faith you will be saved and will never have to go through the tiome of tribulation that is coming quickly upon this earth.

In the future, signs of the day of Judgment will apear to the people....
All the minor sgins already have apeared and we are waiting for the majore signs.
The minor signs of the Hour include the following:
1. The sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
2. The death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
3. The conquest of Jerusalem.
4. The plague of Amwaas (Emmaus), which is a city in Palestine.
5. Widespread wealth and lack of need for charity.
6. The appearance of fitan (tribulations). Among the tribulations that occurred in the early years of Islam were: the killing of ‘Uthmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him), the battle of the camel and the battle of Siffeen, the emergence of the Khawaarij, the battle of al-Harrah, and the opinion that the Qur’aan is a creation.
7. The emergence of claimants to Prophethood, such as the liar Musaylimah and al-Aswad al-‘Anasi.
8. The appearance of fire in the Hijaaz, which appeared in the middle of the 7th century AH, in 654 AH. This was a great fire, which the scholars who were alive at the time of its appearance and those who came after them described in great detail. Al-Nawawi said: There appeared in our time a fire in Madeenah, in the year six hundred and fifty-four. It was a very great fire on the eastern side of Madeenah, beyond the Harrah, and knowledge of it was widespread throughout Syria and all lands. Those of the people of Madeenah who were present told me about it.
9. Loss of trust. One of the manifestations of loss of trust is people’s affairs being entrusted to those who are not qualified or able for that.
10. The taking away of knowledge and the prevalence of ignorance; the taking away of knowledge will occur with the disappearance of the scholars, as it says in al-Saheehayn.
11. The spread of zina (adultery, fornication)
12. The spread of riba (usury, interest)
13. The prevalence of musical instruments.
14. Widespread drinking of alcohol.
15. Shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings.
16. A slave woman giving birth to her mistress, as is stated in al-Saheehayn. There are several views among the scholars as to what this means. The view favoured by Ibn Hajar is that there will be widespread disobedience among children, so that a child will treat his mother as a master treats his slave woman, with negligence and insults.
17. Widespread killing.
18. Widespread earthquakes.
19. Appearance of landslides, transformations and stones from heaven.
20. Appearance of women who are clothed yet naked.
21. Believer’s dreams coming true.
22. Widespread giving of false testimony and concealment of true testimony.
23. Large numbers of women.
24. The land of the Arabs becoming once again meadows and rivers.
25. The Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold.
26. Wild animals and inanimate objects will speak to people.
27. The “Romans” will increase in number and fight the Muslims.
28. The conquest of Constantinople.
The major portents of the Hour are those which were mentioned by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the hadeeth of Hudhayfah ibn Aseed, and there are ten signs: The Dajjaal; the descent of ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary); Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj (Gog and Magog); three landslides, one in the east, one in the west and one in the Arabian Peninsula; the smoke; the rising of the sun from its place of setting; the Beast; and the fire which will drive the people to their place of gathering. These signs will appear one after another, and when the first of these signs appear, the others will come soon after.
We do study these signs not for fun but to know how to deal with these great events and to increase our faith when these signs come.
and there is no single real Muslim has a guarantee to go to heaven.
