Salam ZKAB90
You have claimed that there is a prediction in the Hadiths that Arabs or desert dwellers will compete with each other to build skyscrapers and this will signal the end of times. Let's take a look at whether this is only an Arab phenomenon or a worldwide one.
The list you have provided is as follows:
Pentominium, Dubai (516 m)
Burj Al Alam, Dubai (510 m)
Diamond Tower, Jeddah (432 m)
Dream Dubai Marina (432 m)
Marina 106, Dubai (425 m)
Lighthouse Tower, Dubai (402 m)
Capital Market Authority Headquarters, Riyadh (400 m)
I am providing a link below interested parties can take a look and decide for themselves:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_worldOnly 2 buildings on the list are made on Arab soil among the top 10. ONLY 2. So, no, they are not build by Arabs and Arabs are not competing to build tall buildings. Arabs are nowhere near. The country with most numbers of tallest buildings is China. Again China is a leader. Please verify before posting information which proves to be untrue upon 'googling' it.
This is not a prophecy, it is an indication of how far we have come as a world community. With technological development we are getting better at building better and bigger things. Or we can go the other way and make things slimmer and smaller, like in the world of PCs, smartphones and other electronics.
Maybe you have heard of a little phenomenon called ' self fulfilling prophecy'. You are picking and choosing to post information that prove your beliefs, and overlooking information that can prove your beliefs to be unfounded and untrue. Alas, most Muslims are hell bent on that.
Time moves forward, as a result anything that happens will only be an indication that the end of times is near. This is because , If it was near 1400 years ago, it is more so now by using simple logic. As more time passes we will get closer to the end of times. This is not a prediction, it is a given, inescapable reality!
Even though Adam has beat me to it, but I will still say that, you kind sir are wasting our time not the other way around. I have noticed that you have failed to provide convincing, explicit proof from the Quran for most of your claims, but brother Goodlogic and some others have kindly answered and refuted your claims. You are using this forum to dispel with unfounded claims and when they are refuted with Quran or simple logic for that matter, you refuse to budge from your position. Not only that, you overlook our suggestions of verifying information before posting and simply go about posting whatever you want. Let me remind you that the forum and it's accompanying website is called 'quransmessage.com' not 'Let'sdiscusseverywhimsicalfantasyIhaveaboutIslam.com'.
We are people who respect other people who have taken their precious time out to help us better understand the Quran, God's undisputed revelation. We do not insult them, when they have been kind enough to take time out of their real lives, to help unknown people in the virtual world. Most of us here, find solace in finding similar minded souls and discussing God's book with them. You kind sir, are only deterring us from this. I hereby will leave you with a prediction of my own, ' keep up what you are doing, and soon you will have none of us bother to engage in a discussion with you. and this will signify the end of times! '
Have a good day!
