The Alarm of Doomsday

English book, p. 72

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

“The people will be sweating. Some will sweat till their ankles, some till their knees, others till their waist and yet others till their faces.” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 2864) The Arabic word araq in this tradition, which means sweat, literally means ‘squeezed water’. Sweat is called araq because it squeezes [or oozes] out of the human body. That is why the wine which is squeezed out of grapes is also called araq. This tradition, in fact, symbolically tells us that during the last days, when the sun’s heat will increase and the glaciers of ice and the ice sheets at the polar caps of the Arctic and Antarctica will start melting then the sea level will rise. As a result, the coastal settlements will be submerged in seawater. Some areas will be submerged, while others will be less affected, depending upon the altitude of the landmass affected. Now both revealed, and scientific knowledge has confirmed that Doomsday is near. Climate Change, Earthquakes and Doomsday Climate changes triggered geological mayhem. As the kilometres-thick Scandinavian ice sheet vanished, the faults beneath released the accumulated strain of tens of millennia, spawning massive magnitude eight earthquakes.
