... They [the last hour] will not come until you see ten characters to ... Landslides [with a sinking down, caving in or displacement of the earth] in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia ... (Sahih Muslim)
It is revealed in the verses of the Koran that are all animate and inanimate companies the entire universe, inevitably to an end.
To this end, the Last Day, in other words, the last day of the life of this world, but also the beginning of theeternal life in the hereafter. On this day, as is revealed in the Koran, when "mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds" (Quran, 83:6). Destroyed on the last day, the universe and all life, and that the destruction will be the result of various events that have never been seen before. In Surat Al-Ma'arij discloses our Lord:
On the day the sky like molten copper, and the mountains like tufts of colored wool is. Not a good friend asks for his friend, even though theycan see each other. Wanted to be an offender, he could ransom from the punishment of that Day by his sons, his wife or his brother or his family, which protected him or any other on earth, when the only lead that he could save himself. But no! It is a Raging Blaze. (Qur'an, 70:8-15)
It is a day when all people understand the great power of God, and they will be a day of panic, fear and sorrow for the Unbelievers. Our Lord reveals in the Qur'an that "the hour is coming"(Qur'an, 20:15) and it suddenly finds itself, when people would have expected the least (Quran, 16:77 and 7:187). In another verse, our Lord told us that certain characters appear before the hour:
What a wait, but for the Hour come upon them suddenly? ITS signs are already there. What use is the reminder to you when it is already there? (Qur'an, 47:18)
Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has this sign, will take place before the session describedthe Hadith. In addition to signs of the Last Day, he also has statements about the period immediately before it. This period, when the characters will appear the last day, is the "end times".
In the first period of the last days the world is filled with physical and mental problems in the second period that follows, God people from degeneration, war and injustice, freeing the Mahdi. During this time known as the Golden Age, wars and conflicts will come to an end,the world with abundance and justice and moral values of Islam will spread all over the world and widely known through lived to be filled. After the end of the Golden Age, the world will come at a very rapid collapse, after the hour. It must however be made clear that, as in all other subjects that we have no further information on the Last Day, who, when we were taught by our Lord. Only our Lord knows, the time of the hour, which will inevitably take place:
Say: "Ido not know whether what you are promised [the "hour"] is near or whether my Lord be appointed for a longer time before it. "He is the Knower of the unseen and not to divulge his invisible to anyone. (Qur'an, 72 :25-26)
The signs of the Last Day Are Coming True One after another
If we look into it, Hadith about the end times, we come upon a very unusual situation. The characters defined in detail by our Prophet (saas), before hundreds of years are taking place almost everywhere in theWorld we live in an era of "one after the other and in the manner described in the Hadith. The battles, wars and conflicts experienced anywhere in the world, the increase in corruption, illegal things being considered valid, the acceleration of moral degeneration, the open denial of God, the renunciation of the moral values of the Qur'an, the serious difficulties that Muslims experienced, the gratuitous killing of innocent people, the spread of poverty and hunger, the emergencePeople of false religion, the popularity of magic and divination, the increase in fraud, corruption and adultery, the emergence of false messiah, and many other signs show that all the time by which we live bears a stronger resemblance to the End time than any other in history. (For detailed information, see the signs of Jesus (pbuh) Second Coming of Harun Yahya.)
Some of these signs of the End Times revealed in the hadith were partially at different times in seenIslamic history and in different parts of the world. However, this does not mean that each of these age groups was the end times.
Because for a period as the end times, showed signs of taking all of our Prophet (PBUH) must place one after the other in the same time. This is stated in the Hadith:
These characters together like the pieces of a chain falling one by one if its string cut. (Tirmidhi)
For example, one of the characters givenIn the Hadith, the solar and lunar eclipses during Ramadan:
... The first is the lunar eclipse on the first night of Ramadan, and the second is the eclipse in the middle of this month. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 47)
In fact, followed by solar and lunar eclipses each other in the month of Ramadan in the years 1981 and 1982. There is no question that solar and lunar eclipses are very natural and oftenPhenomena. The most important thing is that this should take place at 15-day intervals during the month of Ramadan, and this in two consecutive years have elapsed. In addition, this fact was that these eclipses at the same time as the other signs mentioned above, the probability that these eclipses the persons referred to in the Hadith. Another is exceptional, the way that our Prophet (PBUH) told us that a comet appear immediately after the eclipse of the WillSun and Moon:
The rise of these stars is based on the eclipse of the sun and the moon. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 32)
As mentioned in the hadith, was Halley's comet near the Earth in 1986 (Hijri 1406), in other words, in the early 14th Century. This follows the eclipses of the sun and moon, what happened in 1981 and 1982 (Hijri 1401-1402). Therefore, the rise of this star seems to come at the same time as the other characters, and howdescribed by the Prophet (PBUH), indicates that these phenomena are also referred to the characters in the Hadith.
Another important element to take this into account when considering the character must be the end times, the size of the characters in question, its force and effect. For example, our Prophet (saas) has the increase in earthquakes as a sign of the Last Day quotes. There is no doubt that earthquakes have occurred in various sizes place at all times in history. But by the end timeswhich we live, it has a large increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes around the world. According to reports the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the number of earthquakes registering more than 5.0 in the 400 between 1556 and 1975, only 110th After this point, 1685 earthquakes have been registered more than 6.5 in the 23 years between 1980 and 2003 alone. This information confirms that our Prophet (saas indicated shows) and that the signs ofMiracles have properties comparable to much more than the extraordinary events that have occurred in other times. Our Prophet (saas) also has news of many other signs of the Last Day, and just this.
Islamic scholars on some of them as small signs, and for many other important characters. A Hadith in which our Prophet (PBUH) conveyed the message of the ten major signs of the Last Day is as follows:
... They [the last hour] will not come until you see tenCharacter ... Landslides [with a sinking down, caving in or displacement of the earth] in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia ... (Sahih Muslim)
In this article we will examine these characters in terms of some important recent developments.
(For detailed information about the other characters find the Doomsday Signs of the Last Day, The Signs of Jesus' (pbuh) Second Coming, Terrorism: The Ritual of the Devil, The End of Times and the Mahdi by HarunYahya).
Sinking IN THE EAST: The tsunami disaster in INDONESIA
One of the signs of the Last Day revealed by our Prophet (saas) is that the "sinking in the East."
The probable significance of this sign is the disappearance of a surface or a human community. (God knows best.) This sign is very similar to the tsunami catastrophe in 2004 in Asia. Therefore, our Prophet (saas) sign in relation to the "sinking in the East" can this noticeterrible disaster. (Our Lord knows best, of course.)
Throughout history, various disasters, earthquakes and tornadoes have struck in Asia and the Far East. This terrible destruction wrought, and a large number of people lost their lives in them. However, the tsunami on 26 Held in December 2004 resulted in South Asia and in the loss of more than 225,000 lives, was the worst of these disasters. During this terrible disaster, the massive release of energy from 1000-kilometer Fractures as a result of the movement of the U-plates and the shifting land masses with the enormous energy produced in the oceans, slammed the coasts of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Maldives, Seychelles, Somalia, and even , 5000 kilometers away.
The tsunami disaster in the end times when the signs of the Last Day come true after another, affects a very large area and resulted in the cities, the sea water and a flooded> New map of the world. Therefore, the expression is "sinking in the East" and a reference to this disaster in South Asia. (God knows best.)
THE FALL IN THE WEST: THE "Katrina" disaster in the U.S.
The terrible devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico last month, bringing to a different character of the Last Day of our Prophet (saas called Spirit) "sinking in the west."
This "destruction" which will explain our Prophet (saas)take place in the end times must necessarily be much larger and have a much greater effect than similar ones in the past. In fact, causes the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina was much worse than that inflicted by similar phenomena in the past.
Throughout history, major disasters in Europe and America have been experiencing. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and terrorist attacks have cost the lives of thousands. However, none of these disasters has such dire consequences as itHurricane Katrina, which millions of people to flee to tens of thousands of their lives, immense damage to three large states lose, and the flooding of entire cities. This makes Hurricane Katrina from various disasters of the past, and provides for first place in the list of destruction in U.S. history. For this reason, the Katrina disaster, probably one of the three cases from falling through our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH called). God knows best, of course.
The dimensions of the KatrinaDisaster
The Katrina disaster has been the subject of intense coverage in the newspapers and on television about a month. However, do not emphasize these reports to the multilateral effects of a disaster in both the U.S. and worldwide. The true dimensions of the disaster are hidden from the people and the extent of destruction is downplayed. The fact is that Hurricane Katrina "for the deaths of more than 10,000 people, life becomes impossible in almost all of the three LEDs --large states (Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi), the complete evacuation of one of the most important cities in the U.S., the largest air rescue operation in U.S. history, millions of people losing their homes and livelihoods and damage amounting to 100 billion U.S. dollars. Several authors have on the fact that it has not experienced such a catastrophe called on American soil since the Civil War. This disaster, compared with some of the Länder authorities at Hiroshima and the tsunami disaster in Indonesia,expected to fall have long-lasting consequences for many years and resulted in a large area under water, as our Prophet (saas) described in the Hadith.
Summarized the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina can be summarized as follows:
- Katrina was classified as a Category 5 hurricane, was the most intense category on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, which under the category 4 in some places. Only five of Category 3 hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. since records began. Yetnone of which caused such severe damage as Katrina.
- The number of casualties could not be established with certainty in the wake of the disaster, although officials said the number could, however, tens of thousands. The damage is expected to exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars. This estimate includes long-term damage (impact on the ground, sea, food and climate).
- Hurricane Katrina in the American continent from the Gulf of Mexico on Monday 29 August, and the three countries concerned. Louisiana, Alabama andMississippi was virtually uninhabitable. The wind speed increased to 260 km / h. The affected area a national disaster area is 233,000 km2 - an area almost as large as the United Kingdom.
- The first hurricane-struck Florida, where 13 people died and where the storm caused significant damage to. It then headed for the state of Louisiana, causing terrible damage to the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Building on the coasts, in particular suffered tremendous damage.It is estimated that more than 10,000 have lost their lives in these three states, 80% of the city of New Orleans - the largest in the state of Louisiana was - under water.
- The cities of Biloxi and Gulfport in Mississippi were inundated by rising water up to 9 meters, and 90% of households in this area were completely destroyed. Hotels and entertainment centers were built on the coast completely destroyed. This brings a further sign of the Last Day, Spirit tells of our Prophet(PBUH):
He asked: "What will happen to you if the death met the people and houses to their graves?" (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 392, No. 726)
- Approximately 5 million people were without electricity in the wake of Hurricane Katrina on the left. It was announced that due to the terrible damage it can take months to be prepared for the electricity in the entire city again.
- America will receive 25% of gasoline demand in the Gulf of Mexico. Today, 91% of the total question the abilityby 1.5 million barrels per day is not usable. 83% of the gas generated was stopped. 561 of a total of some 650 sea oil rigs were evacuated in time by helicopter. 20 platforms, either fallen or been dragged from their moorings, and it continues to burn. No one knows what damage has been caused to those who have given up. The resulting pollution is another aspect of the disaster. Eight refineries were abandoned on the banks of the Mississippi. Thesestill have worked since to bring the disused oil pipeline to burst from the Gulf of Mexico land. The almost complete disruption of oil production in the region has affected the U.S. economy, and it is also expected to have lasting damage on the global economy.
- Hundreds of thousands of houses were uninhabitable, and hundreds were severely damaged.
- The number of missing is estimated at around 35,000. More than 300,000 children in the regionEstimates were made homeless.
- Power outage, and the fact that telephone lines, mobile phones and the Internet no longer work the business has almost stopped. It is estimated that around 1 million jobs have been lost in all areas.
- Educational institutions in the regions were closed. Many schools can not be used, and great damage was inflicted on the other.
- Local newspapers and TV stations have abandoned theirAnd offices were forced to remain on the Internet.
- It is noted that there is only a matter of time begins to epidemics in the flooded towns. The corpses fill the streets, the toxic substances in water, the chemical industrial waste from factories in the water, rubbish, waste and fuel a serious threat to the flooded city. The U.S. Army will begin spraying with military aircraft against the mosquitoes, which carry West Nile virus, and that severalrapidly in stagnant water.
New Orleans fell to the Ground
While Katrina caused severe damage to many cities, has managed to New Orleans uninhabitable. 80% of New Orleans, who was considered one of the centers of tourism and culture in the U.S. under the water, which in some areas more than 6 meters deep. That is why New Orleans has buried nearly disappeared under the water. In the same way that our Prophet (saas)Related signs in relation to "a sinking in the east" is the tsunami disaster in Indonesia, the "sinking in the West" can also show the disappearance of the city of New Orleans. God knows best, of course.
New Orleans is surrounded by a city on Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico and is set about 2 feet below sea level. However, some parts of the city are up to 6 meters below sea level and protectedagainst possible flooding caused by pumps, canals and dikes. This system, which is considered one of the most expensive flood control systems in the world, was built in several stages since 1800 and has been regularly reinforced. However, that the levees were a period of about 560 kilometers around the city designed to meet hurricanes of Category 3. They could not withstand Category 5 hurricanes like Katrina (Category 4) on some days. Thus, Hurricane Katrina destroyed two of the most important cityDams, so the water from the lake, the sea and the river flooded 80% of the city.
The shores of Lake Pontchartrain were almost completely under water.
After the hurricane, these dikes are planned repairs and pumped the water from the city. But very few of the 148 pumps actually work, so the pumps from the floods that fill the city is expected to last months. A major problem is that since the pumps for goodCleaning up the city are flooded, is finding it difficult to send anywhere in the many meters of water for the city. Another issue is the extent of the impact that the pumping of water, heavily polluted by dead bodies and waste into the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain on the lives of explaining what is expected to get worse in coming years. The discharge of polluted water into the lake, river and sea in the region, as is one of the busiest ports in the U.S. consider fishing,serious damage to marine life.
However, officials that there is no alternative and that the pump will, as planned before.
This is the worst disaster since the founding of New Orleans in 1718th The city has experienced many storms and hurricanes to date, but this city, which directly matches a hurricane every 14 years, had never been exposed to such destruction. The consequences of the catastrophe in New Orleans are asfollows:
- A million people fled New Orleans before the hurricane. Tens of thousands who still find refuge in the Louisiana Superdome stadium searched and an exhibition hall. Others tried to protect themselves from the water, climbing to great heights.
Thousands of helpless people who sought refuge on the roofs and upper floors of the building waiting for day to come help. Many people died of hunger, thirst, and various diseases. There were alsonumerous reports of looting, murders, beatings and rapes. If any part of the roof of the Superdome, as one of the safest places to be protected, broke even this ceased to offer a guarantee.
- Some 9,000 people who were not able to evacuate the city and 550 National Guard troops installed in the Superdome. Following the intensification of the hurricane, this figure rose to around 60,000 on 1 September. Tens of thousands of people for their lives in the stadium, which was conducted,Rinse with no electricity, air conditioning and running water. Were reinforced when the evacuation began in New Orleans is known as "Ghost Town".
- A surge in looting, rapes, beatings, suicide, robbery and drug trafficking to chaos in the city and the buildings where many people sought refuge.
- 80% of households in New Orleans are uninhabitable.
- Tens of thousands of people do not have enough to eat and drink. There are no clean water or food into the city.
- One million people are without electricity due to the strong winds that brought trees and power lines, under which it is reported that critically ill patients die in hospitals.
- The floods have lifted caskets from graves in certain cemeteries in New Orleans. Television showed coffins floating in the waters of the city.
The disappearance of almost the entire city of New> Orleans bears a great similarity to other signs of the end times associated with our Prophet (saas). This is disclosed under these conditions in the Hadith:
Large cities will be ruined, and it is as if they had not existed the day before. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 38)
One city has actually gone under the water and made uninhabitable.
In fact, one of the ongoing discussions in the U.S. these days it is possible to completelyRenunciation of New Orleans and the founding of the city at another point in the wake of the terrible destruction.
Could the "ARMY disappear in the desert" on the third SINKING?
Attention is drawn down in the hadiths of our Prophet Muhammad (saas) to "third on the Arabian Peninsula", in addition to the East and West.
This preoccupation, to be held in the Arabian Peninsula is very similar to another hadith:
An army is fighting. Oncethem into the desert, which in the front and back of disappearing, and those who save in the middle are not repeated. (Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah, Sunan Abu Dawud)
One of the most remarkable events of the Iraq war in 2003 was the sudden disappearance of a large part of the Iraqi army. Many newspapers and television stations reported on the disappearance of the 60,000-man force of the Republican Guard and 15,000-man force as Fedayeen cosiness known. The fact that this is in the above-mentionedHadith shows that one of the signs of the Last Day may have taken place. Follow buried In fact, the finding, in the days of some of their fighters under the desert sand strengthens the possibility that the reference can be in the Hadith of the sinking of an army in the desert of the Iraqi army is of interest. (Allah knows best.) If we consider this hadith, together with our Prophet (saas) 's reference to the "sinking in Arabia," it may well be that the event in question refers to this extraordinarySituation, which came during the Iraq war. (God knows best.)
The need to make on the signs THE LAST DAYS
Most people in the world is a more or less aware of the horrors of the Last Day. However, some people are unwilling to think or talk about such an important role. They make great efforts, never fear, to bring to be experienced when the hour comes to mind. You are not yet able to bear it when the news of a disaster, they read in the newspaperor a movie representation of a disaster it is reminiscent of the Last Day. They refuse, on the fact that this day will inevitably come play.
The same things happen in the wake of the Katrina disaster. Tries people in general, to downplay the disaster that was the terrible catastrophe is not unbiased reporting, and people quickly lost interest in this terrible destruction. People do not learn about the horrors of hundreds of thousands, as they should have experienced.
But all theseDisasters and catastrophes are a warning, a reminder, our Lord. People who consider these disasters, honest, listening to the voice of their conscience, will readily convert the transience of life in this world and to God. You will understand that it is not too late to live by Islamic moral values and not as those who represent the reality that is ignored in the Last Day will inevitably happen. Our Lord stated as follows in terms of the infidels, the portDoubts as to the time:
If you were told, "God's promise is true, and the hour, of which there is no doubt," she said, "We have no idea what was the hour. We only conjecture. We are not secure." (Qur'an, 45:32)
Some people deny the Hour in its entirety:
But instead, they deny the hours, and we have a burning flame for those who deny the Hour are ready. (Qur'an, 25:11)
All these people who deceive themselves in order to make the hour,terrible mistake. That's because in his verse, Allah reveals that they are close at hand and there can be no doubt about it:
We have not created the heavens and earth and everything between them except with truth. The time has surely come ... (Qur'an, 15:85)
As we have noted is the fact that the characters were the Doomsday fully described 1400 years ago and come to one after the other by a matter of utmost importance. This is finalDemonstrate that we understand that when describing in detail 1400 years before the image that would cause our Prophet PBUH () related to this day and age. The reports of the end times draw an accurate picture of our time. Clearly this is a wonderful phenomenon of calling for deep reflection.
