gard, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) revealed to us a develop-
ment in the End Times:

At that time ... life spans will grow longer.
(Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'alamat al-Mahdi
al-Muntazar)

Fourteen centuries have passed since the Prophet (saas) said
these words. Records kept over the past few years have clearly

shown that the average life expectancy in our time is greater than
that in every preceding age. Even, there was already a great differ-
ence between the beginning and the end of the twentieth century.
For example, a person born in 1995 can expect to live more than 35

20
years longer than a person born in 1900. Another striking exam-

1400 years ago the Prophet (saas) predicted the scientific
developments mentioned in these headlines.
