THE TRUTH ABOUT EARTH

 

                             THE NATURE OF DOOMSDAY

                          "IT IS ALLAH WHO CREATES AND RECREATES"

                            FROM THE VERY BEGINNING".

                         THE HOLY QURAN GIVES A DYNAMIC VIEW OF THE UNIVERSE HIGH LIGHTING THAT THE PROCESS OF CREATION AND RECREATION IS A CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. THERE CANNOT BE STALEMATE IN THE UNIVERSE. ALLAH CREATES AND RECREATES. HE ORIGINATES AND TAKES AWAY. IN THIS PROCESS, SOMETIMES THERE OCCUR MAJOR SHAKE-UPS AND REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN NATURE ALSO. DOOMSDAY REPRESENT SUCH CHANGES. THEY MAY BE CLASSIFIED INTO THE FOLLOWING FOUR CATOGORIES:

                            * MINOR EVENTS

                            * MAJOR EVENTS

                            * ULTIMATE EVENTS, THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY

                            * THE RESURRECTION

                  IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS GIVEN A BRIEF REVIEW OF THESE EVENTS WHICH WE BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN SUBSEQUENT CHAPTERS.

                                  👀 MINOR DOOMSDAYS

                               MINOR DOOMSDAYS ARE OF A ROUTINE NATURE, PART OF TEH CONTINUOUS DIVINE PROCESS OF CREATION RECREATION. THEY REPRESENT STEP CHANGES IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORLD. IN THEIR SCOPE, THEY ARE GENERALLY LIMITED TO A PARTICULAR EARTH, OR EVEN THEY MAY BE LOCALIZED AFFAIRS EFFECTING A SMALL REGION OF THE EARY ONLY DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL IS NOR LESS THAN THE DOOMSDAY FOR HIM. DEPENDING UPON THEIR SEVERITY. THEY CAN BE FURTHER CLASSIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING TYPES:

                           SUB EVENTS : THESE REPRESENT CATASTROPHIES ON A NATIONAL OR GLOBAL SCALE, BUT LIFE CONTINUES NORMALLY AFTER THEY HAVE PASSED OVER. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SUCH EVENTS WHICH WIPED OUT ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS IN THE PAST. EXAMPLES, ARE THE FLOOD OF NUH, THE ICE AGES, THE CATASTROPHIC FALL OF METEORS ETC. THE HOLY QURAN REFERS TO MANY SUCH EVENTS IN ITS VARIOUS VERSES AS A REMINDER FOR PEOPLE TO REFLECT INTO THE FATE OF THE EARLIER GENERATIONS OF MANKING ON THE EARTH. (SEE SURA HUD) THE RULE HAS BEEN :

                   "   AND EVERY NATION HAS ITS TERM

                         AND WHEN ITS TIME COMES,

                        THEY CANNOT PUT IT OFF EVEN

                        AN HOUR, NOR THEY CAN ADVANCE IT".

                         * STEPS LEADING TO THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY. DOOMSDAY IS A ROUTINE PHENOMENA IN THE UNIVERSE, AS PART OF ITS DYNAMISM. FIGURE SHOWS FIVE TYPES OF DOOMSDAYS, STARTING WITH THE DEATH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, TO THE RECURRECTION.

                       1. DEATH OF THE INDIVIDUAL. 

                       2. EARTHLY DISTURBANCE.

                       3. COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH

                       4. DOOMS DAY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEMS.

                       5. THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY

                       6. THE RESURRECTION

                     IN UNIVERSE EACH THING HAS A PREFIXED DESTINY AND CREATED FOR A FINITE PERIOD ONLY. THE QURAN SAYS :

                    ALLAH CREATED NOT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND ALL THAT IS BETWEEN THEM, SAE WITH TRUTH, AND FOR A DESTINED END. BUT TRULY MANY OF THE MANKING ARE DISBELIEVERS IN THE MEETING WITH THEIR LORD".

                    THUS HEAVENS AND THE EARTHS ARE NOT FOR EVER. THEY WILL PERISH AT THEIR TURNS AND SO IS THE UNIVERSE. THE SAME IS TRUE OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND OF THE NATIONS ALSO.
