There is a unnecessary fear of doomsday on 21 dec 2012.Some people worry about Maya prophecy that world becomes end on 21 december.Maya calendar, which is made up different cycles of day counts,
does not end this year. Rather, one cycle of 144,000 days (394 years)
ends and the next cycle begins.
Maya did not predict the end of the world or any disaster in December 2012..The idea of end of the world on 21 december by any cause is totally rubish.Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012..
Islam believes in Doomsday - a day when the entire world will be destroyed. This day is called “Day of judgement.”
Holy Quran has explicitly stated this
“Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour“ (Surah Luqman 31/34).
So
there is no indication in Quran or the saying of the prophet Muhammad
(SA) that 2012 is the end of the world - according to what projected by
the mayan calender, and as potrayed by the movie...
The exact time of the Doomsday is given neither in Qur’an nor
in Hadith. But Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have pointed out the distinctive
signs in Hadiths and in Qur’anic verses, which will happen near to the
last hour constantly warned the believers for the appointed day.
There
are major and minor signs that point to the Doomsday event. Here are 68
minor signs and 12 major signs before the Doomsday.
Although they appear here in no particular order, it is
important to point out that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that
these last, major signs will follow each other like pearls falling off
of a necklace…

Allah SWT says in the Holy Quran "Verily the knowledge of the Hour is
with Allah Alone". Another verse of the Quran says "They ask thee about
the final Hour; when will be its appointed time? Say: "The knowledge
thereof is with my Lord Alone none but He can reveal as to when it will
occur".So these verses of Holy Quran makes it clear that only Allah SWT has the
knowledge when this world will end and Judgement day will come not any
human knows about it.Moreover from Islamic point of view the World will only end after all the signs of Judgement day will appea
