tion, and child-care, no longer require as much time with the help
of modern technological wonders.
We could easily provide numerous such examples. However,
what we must stop to consider here is that the signs revealed by
the Prophet (saas) in the seventh century are now coming true.

Another sign of the End Times revealed in the hadiths is the
spreading of commerce (Reported by Ibn Masud (r.a.)) which has
paralleled the advancements in transportation technology.

Modern transportation has enabled every country in the world to
establish close trade relations with others.

Communications Technology:
Some of the most interesting information the Prophet (saas)

revealed is found in his hadiths that describe modern communi-
cations technology. One of the things he said is quite striking:

The Last Hour will not come before the end of a man's
whip speak to him.
(Tirmidhi)

When we look at this hadith closely, we can see the truth it

contains. As we know, in ancient times, the whip was widely used
to ride saddle beasts, especially camels and horses. When we ex-
amine the hadith we see that the Prophet (saas) is making a com-

parison.
Let us ask the people today this question: “What speaking
object can we compare to the shape of a whip?”
The most likely answer to this question would be a cell
phone or some other such communication devices.
