Second Coming
64. Violent Rain
The Hour will not come until there has been rain
which destroy all dwellings. (Ibn Ahmad
Hanbal)
An increase in rain and a reduction in grass ...
occur because Doomsday is near. (Muhammad
ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li
Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 137)
The Hour does not come until all mud-brick
buildings, except for the stone ones, collapse.
(Ibn Ahmad Hanbal, Musnad vol. 13, p. 291, no.
7554)
Heavy rains and the subsequent floods are among the great nat-
ural disasters that cause many casualties. Especially in recent years,
such events have caused serious material damage and killed many
people throughout the world. The floods that affected Europe in re-
cent years are an example. Heavy downpours hit almost all of Europe,
causing floods and submerging portions of many large cities.
The seasonal monsoon rains that strike India, Nepal, and
Bangladesh in 2002 left behind 900 dead. In China, on the other hand,
mudslides caused by heavy summer rains killed 1,000 people in
August 2002. 52
