The World Ending And Islam


When Will The World End?

When will the world end? Will the world end in 21 12 2012? When will the time come for Dajjal to appear (Dajjal is the Anti Christ)? When will Imam Mahdi appear? What do we know about Yajuj and Majuj or Gog and Magog? Should we be concerned after being reminded nearly every other day about the end of world in 2012? Should we start to prepare for 2012 and dig out bunkers underground to save ourselves from the events that will take place in 2012? So many questions, but not enough trustworthy answers. Well, here is where you'll get it! Especially from an Islamic perspective on the end of the world.
My advice is not to worry at all because the world is not going to end on 21/12/2012. How do i know this and how can i advise you to not worry about this date? I don't. Only Allah knows. People who are taking everyone else for a ride think they know, but if no human being knows exactly when the world started, then how can any human know when the world will end? What do i know is that there is evidence in the Quran and Hadeeth in Islam regarding the matter of the the end of the world.
The Quran states, O Prophet the infidels ask you about the time of Qiyamah (end of the world, the Hour). So tell them that it's knowledge is with Allah only. (Surah Luqman)

THE MONTH OF MUHARRAM

The Islamic year lasts for about 354 days and consists of 12 months. Muharram is the first month and some Muslims mark the start of the Islamic year on the first day of Muharram. Many Muslims fast during daylight hours on the ninth and 10th or 10th and 11th days of the month to mark the Day of Ashura (Yaumu-l 'Ashurah). This is the anniversary of the death of Husayn ibn Ali, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammed.

7 Things Your Muslim Wife Won’t Tell You

Most men have a hard time understanding women. Even a woman they’ve been married to for years.
One minute she’s perfectly fine. The next, she’s crying like a baby.
She complains about something but when we offer advice on how to fix it, she still isn’t satisfied.
After several years of marriage (and counselling) I’ve learned to not worry so much about what my wife says. Instead, I should worry about what she doesn’t say.

7 Things Your Muslim Husband Won’t Tell You

Ever wish you could read your husband’s mind? Western culture encourages husbands and wives to talk to each other and discuss things.
However, in many Muslim cultures, men are raised to be stoic and tight-lipped. Muslim husbands are very often (not always) reluctant to talk about certain things with their wives.
Part of the problem is also that sometimes it is hard to actually formulate our thoughts into the right words.
The only thing more difficult than translating thoughts to words is translating feelings to words.

 

So, a lot of Muslim men and women go through their marriages with very l

20 Amazing Examples of Owl Camouflage

Gorgeous as it is, nature is the place where everyone has to fight for itself to survive. This is why most of them have developed some amazing camouflage techniques to be able to hide while resting or nesting.
Feathered animals have mastered the art of disguise of three different types: they either use color, marking or posture camouflage. A snowy owl, for example, can hardly be seen in winter; some birds pick the trees with a bark that resembles their feather patterns; and some even position themselves in a certain way to blend in the surroundings.
This time we put together a very deceptive selection of owl camouflage. These birds are real forest ninjas. If you think you see nothing but a tree or a rock in the picture, take a closer look and you’re in for a surprise!

33 Perfectly Timed Photos

You may be the best photographer in the world, but sometimes all it takes to take the best shot is being in the right place at the right moment. It doesn’t even matter if you take it with your cell or high-end DSLR. Often, you won’t even notice you made an incredible picture until you come home and transfer your photos to a computer.
However, that doesn’t mean you should stop improving your photography skills and just wait for that one and only moment. As a popular saying goes:
Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
So be prepared for it and be lucky! Here are 33 perfectly timed photos to get you inspired.


How Landscape Photos Are Really Made

Earth is beautiful and full of surprises. So is Matthew Albanese, a New York-based artist, creating stunningly realistic landscapes from everyday objects and photographing them as if they were a part of the earth. Albanese named his project “Strange Worlds” for it really is strange to see coral reefs made from walnuts, or mountains built from cinnamon. Being a professional photographer and using various shooting techniques, Matthew is able to alter the appearance of materials and create images that seem perfectly natural.
For those daring to doubt his skills, Albanese has prepared some sneak-peek images of his installations at their early stage, allowing to see the construction process and the difference between the diorama and the final result.
