(25: 67) A survey report by the SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) has been published in the media. The survey was conducted by a group of 100 international scientists from 13 countries. The survey states that the melting of glaciers is increasing the water level in the oceans. By the end of the 21st century, this rise in water level will be more than four feet. If these projections come true, most low-lying island nations will be submerged such as the Maldives, Mumbai, Chennai, and Calcutta, etc. (The Times of India, New Delhi, December 2009, p. 1) One of the prophecies of the Day of Resurrection mentioned in Hadith reports is that the level of water on the earth will rise. This process of rising water levels seems to have started rapidly. Scientists also believe that stopping this process is beyond human capacity. Now the last time has come for man to repent and mend his ways. The relevant data inform us that the history of man on the present earth is now nearing its end. Although scientists are looking for another Earth-like planet for the survival of the human race, the reality is that there is no other Earth-like planet in vast space. o Patience is a kind of training course that awakens the hidden potential of a person.
