Throughout history, human beings have understood the majesty of the mountains and the vastness of the heavens, even through the use of their primitive methods of observation. Though, they mistakenly thought these things would exist forever. This belief formed the backbone of polytheist and materialist Greek philosophies, and of the religions of Sumeria and Egypt.
The Qur’an tells us that those who believe this are in grave error. One of the things that Allah reveals in the Qur’an is that the universe has been created and that it will come to an end. The universe will, as will human beings and all other living things, come to an end. This ordered world, which has functioned perfectly for billions of years, is the work of the Lord, Who created everything, though it will come to a grand end at His command, and at a time that He has determined.
The appointed time when the universe and every creature in it, from microorganisms to human beings, including stars and galaxies, will come to an end, is called the “Hour” in the Qur’an. This “Hour” refers to not just any hour; but is a word used specifically in the Qur’an to refer to that time when the world will come to an end.
Along with the announcement of the end of the world, the Qur’an contains detailed descriptions of the process of that event:
** “When the sky bursts open,” “When the oceans surge into each other,” “When the mountains are pulverized,” “When the sun is compacted in blackness…”**
The horror and panic that people will experience at this dreadful calamity is related in detail in the Qur’an; the verses emphasize that there will be no escape and no place to hide. What we can conclude from this that the end of the world will be a catastrophe such as the world has never experienced before.

Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur’an

Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur'an
It seems like this article is trying to convince people that the world is not everlasting. I don't think there's anyone left in the world who does not believe that in the current day and age.
Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur'an
Well its not trying to convince people, I think its trying to list down some facts. Plus its an intro to what the whole topic is all about. The end times. Check out the link buddy.

Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur'an
Ha! I will refrain from making any comments that might ruin my poor thread any further. I take it people dont like to read too much into the end times. Well since you're tired, I suggest you turn the pc off. :p
Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur’an
Don’t judge :nono:
Waise, if u want some quality information about the end times, I’d suggest Sheikh Hamza Yusuf’s lecture titled “Dajjaal”. Dun be copy-pasting stuff from the internet.
Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur’an
Hey who said I was judging. I was listing a f-a-c-t. Btw I wasnt copy pasting, I provided you with a link which you obviously do not wish to check out.And Ive already heard that - thanks all the same.

Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur'an

Besides, I'm only waiting for Maghrib ki adhaan. Then I'm off to bed till some time during the night.
Re: The Signs of the Last Day in the Qur’an
Quran 11:42-43
*So the Ark floated with them on the waves (towering) like mountains, and Noah called out to his son, who had separated himself (from the rest): “O my son! embark with us, and be not with the unbelievers!”
The son replied: “I will betake myself to some mountain: it will save me from the water.” Noah said: "This day nothing can save, from the command of Allah, any but those on whom He hath mercy! "And the waves came between them, and the son was among those overwhelmed in the Flood. *
milleniums pass by, and still the same thinking that they can escape from the Will of Allah…
