The Prophet Muhammad (saas)

People will reap 700 measures of wheat for

every one they sow … People will throw down a
few handfuls of seeds and reap 700 handfuls …
Although much rain will fall, none will be
wasted. 266

The Prophet (saas) provided many other details of the technological ad-

vances that will accompany the end times. Attention is also drawn in the hadiths
to the move towards modern agricultural techniques, the development of new
production methods, seed improvement research, and increasing production as a
result of better use of rainwater by building new dams and artificial lakes.

The increase in wheat production was described in on the
website
www.worldbank.org/html/cgiar/press/wheat3.html: Wheat
is century's miracle crop. ‹smail Serageldin, World Bank
vice president for Environmentally Sustainable
Development and CGIAR chairman, said: 'WHEAT IS THIS
CENTURY'S MIRACLE CROP' He continued: 'Increased
wheat productivity has prevented widespread food short-
ages and stabilized the food security of Asia, Latin
America and, to some extent, Africa.'

The figures for wheat production be-
tween 1981-2 and 1999-2000 on the
www.economic.idsc.gov.eg/book/agri
cul.htm website show a 90% rise.
