THE UNIVERSAL DOOMSDAY
(HOLY QURAN)
👇
AS DISCUSSED ALREADY, ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW EXACTLY ABOUT THE TIMINGS OF THE DOOMSDAY, YET THERE ARE SOME QUALITATIVE INDICATIONS IS THE HOLY QURAN , AND IN THE SAYINGS OF THE PROPHET OF ALLAH, WHICH HELP US TO SEE THAT IT IS NOT A TOO FAR EVENT NOW.
IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION WE SHALL STUDY THE SIGNS OF THE APPROACHING DOOMSDAY WITH REFERENCE TO THE HOLY QURAN.
A HIGH TECH .AGE.
ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT INDICATIONS ABOUT THE COMING OF THE EARTH'S DOOMSDAY GIVEN IN THE HOLY QURAN IS THAT BEFORE THE APPROACH OF THAT DREADFUL EVENT, THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH WILL HAVE ATTAINED A VERY HIGH DEGREE OF TECHNICAL COMPETENCY. IT WILL BE A HIGH TECH AGE. ON THIS THE QURAN SAYS :
👀
(THE DOOMSDAY WILL NOT BEGIN)
UNTIL WHEN THE EARTH,
PUTS ON ITS GOLD ADONEMENT,
AND HAS BEEN EMBELLISHED,
AND ITS PEOPLE THINK
THEY HAVE GAINED MASTREY OVER IT.
THEN COMES DOWN UPON IT OUR JUDGEMENT,
BY NIGHT OR BY DAY.
AND WE CAUSE IT TO BECOME
(LIKE) A FIELD MOWN DOWN,
AS IF THERE HAD BEEN NO YESTERDAY.
MUHAMMED ASAD, IN HIS COMMENTARY ON VERSE 10 SAYS, PEOPLE WOULD COME TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE GAINED MASTERY OVER NATURE WITH NO CONCEIVABLE LIMITS TO WHAT THEY MAY YET ACHIEVE. IT IS TO BE BORN IN MIND THAT TH TERM "ZUKHRUF BEARS ALMOST INVARIABLY A CONNOTATION OF ARTIFICIALITY, A CONNOTATION WHICH IN THIS CASE IS COMMUNICATED TO THE SUBSEQUENT VERB" IZZAYYANAT . THUS, THE WHOLE OF THE ABOVE PARABOLIC SENTENCE MAY BE UNDERSTOOD AS ALLUDING TO THE ARTIFICIAL, ILLUSORY" ADORNMENT" BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE MAN'S TECHNOLOGICAL EFFORTS, NOT IN COLLABORTION WITH NATURE BUT, RATHER, IN THE HOSTILE, "CONFRONTATION" WITH IT".
THE PRESENT AGE SEEMS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE THE TECHNICAL CAPABILITY REFERRED IN VERSE 10 WHEN MAN WILL RIGHTLY SAY, "HE IS THE MASTER OF THE WORLD". HE HAS STARTED CONTROLLING HIS ENVIRONMENT AND IS FREELY EXPLOITING EARTHLY RESOURCES. DESERTS ARE BEING CONVERTED TO GARDENS AND EVEN FAR OFF AREAS ARE BEING DEVELOPED INTO PLACES OF BEAUTY, ROCKETS ARE PROBING DEEP INTO SPACE AND MOON HAS ALREADY BEEN COLONIZED. PEOPLE HAVE MORE WEALTH THAN EVER. EVEN AN AVERAGE FAMILY ENHOYS BETTER LIVING STANDARD THAN THE KINGS OF THE PAST. ALL THIS POINTS OUT THAT THE END MUST BE NEARER.
SPACE TRAVEL
ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF HIGHTECH, DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE DOOMSDAY IS INDICATED BY VERSES 55 THAT BEFORE THAT DAY, HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH WILL HAVE ACQUIRED THE CAPABILITY OF DEEP SPACE TRAVEL. SO MUCH SO THAT THEY SEE THE WORSENING CONDITIONS ON THE EARTH, THEY WILL TAKE STEPS TO LEAVE IT AND SEEK REFUGE IN OTHER REGIONS OF THE UNIVERSE. BUT EVEN THAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM. THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN PREDICTED IN VERSES 55 OF THE HOLY QURAN GIVEN BELOW
👀
"O" COMPANY OF JINNS AND MANKIND,
IF YE HAVE THE POWER
TO PENETRATE THE OUTER REGIONS
OF HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
THEN PENETRATE (THEM)
YE WILL NEVER PENETRATE (THEM)
SAVE WITH POWER (AUTHORITY)
WHICH OF THE FAVOURS OR YOUR LORD
WILL YE THEN DENY?
NEAR THE PERIOD OF THE DOOMSDAY OF EARTH MANKIND AND THE JINNIS (WHICH SOME TRASLATE AS A KIND OF ENERGY-BEINGS", WHOM, BY THAT TIME MAN MIGHT HAVE NOT ONLY COME TO KNOW BUT BE FRIENDED, WILL HAVE ATTAINED THE POWER TO LEAVE THE EARTH AND PENETRATE DEEP INTO SPACE. THEY WILL ACQUIRE THIS CAPABILITY THROUGH THE AUTHORITY OF TECHNOLOGY. THE NEXT VERSE 55 TELLS THAT, EVEN THIS MARVELLOUS TECHNICAL ABILITY WILL BE OF NO USE TO THEM AT THE TIME OF THE DOOMSDAY. AS THEY FLY OUT THEY WILL ENCOUNTER FATAL RADIATIONS FROM WHICH THEY WILL HAVE NO ESCAPE AS PREDICTED IN THE FOLLOWING VERSE:
THERE WILL BE SENT AGAINST YOU BOTH,
HEAT OF FIRE AND FLASH OF BRASS,
THAT YE WILL NOT ESCAPE.
