                                       55. Drought






                        During the three years just before the Dajjal
                         comes, there will be one year when the sky
                         will withhold one third of its rain and the

                         Earth one-third of its fruits. In the second
                        year the sky will withhold two-thirds of its
                         rain, and the Earth two-thirds of its fruits.
                        In the third year all of its fruits, and all the
                           animals will die. (Ibn Ahmad Hanbal)










                  As the hadith reveals, a global drought will occur before the Dajjal’s
              appearance. Indeed, the threat of drought, a consequence of global warm-
              ing today, influences many parts of our world. A UN report issued in 2001
              states the seriousness of the situation:
                  “The Century of Hunger Knocks at the Door”

                  In the 21st century, climate changes resulting from global warming will
                  bring hunger.

                  The detrimental dimensions of global warming, which may be the greatest
                  yet unrecognized threat to humanity, will escalate in the 21st century.
                  According to the recent UN report, scientists predict global warming will
                  make the 21st century also an “age of hunger” and warn that these changes
                  will make the diminishment of crops in Asia unavoidable …
                  Again according to the report, global warming will result in diminished
