The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

The century we are living in has seen the capability of constructing
supersonic aeroplanes, and the ability, thanks to trains and other im-

provements in means of transport, to make journeys in a few minutes
that would once have taken months, and in great comfort. What this ha-
dith indicates is also taking place in this manner.

Communication between continents would take weeks hundreds
of years ago, but is now a matter of seconds, thanks to the Internet and
improvements in technology. Goods that used to take weeks to arrive,
following a long journey, can now be delivered at a moment's notice.

Billions of books can now be printed in the time it would take to
write a single letter just a few centuries ago. As well, other tech-
nological developments have meant that we no longer waste
large amounts of time on cooking, cleaning
and child minding.

One could go on citing similar examples.
Yet, the important thing here, of course, is that

the signs of Doomsday, as set out by the
Prophet (saas) in the seventh century, are now
happening one by one.
