Signs of the Last Hour > “Tall Buildings”
There will be no Judgment—until very tall buildings are constructed. (Reported by Abu Hurairah)
The Hour will not be established—till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings. – (Bukhari)
In the famous Hadith of Jibril which we often hear, what we don’t usually know is that in the same hadith the Prophet actually prophesied about the appearance of tall buildings at the end of time. See the full hadith below:
`Umar ibn Khattab (Allah be well pleased with him) said: “As we were sitting one day before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man suddenly appeared. He wore pure white clothes and his hair was dark black—yet there were no signs of travel on him, and none of us knew him. He came and sat down in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), placing his knees against his, and his hands on his thighs. He said, “O Muhammad! Tell me about Islam.”
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “Islam is to bear witness that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; and to perform the prayer; pay zakat; fast Ramadan; and to perform Hajj to the House if you are able.”
The man said, “You have spoken the truth,” and we were surprised that he asked and then confirmed the answer. Then, he asked, “Tell me about belief (iman).”
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “It is to believe in Allah ; His Angels; His Books; His Messengers; the Last Day; and in destiny—its good and bad.”
The man said, “You have spoken the truth. Now, tell me about spiritual excellence (ihsan).”
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “It is to serve Allah as though you behold Him; and if you don’t behold him, (know that) He surely sees you.”
“Now, tell me of the Last Hour,” asked the man.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “The one asked knows no more of it than the one asking.”
“Then tell me about its signs,” said the man.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “That slave women give birth to their mistresses; and that you see barefoot, unclothed, beginning shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings.”
Then the visitor left, and I waited a long time. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, “Do you know, Umar, who the questioner was?” I replied, “Allah and His Messenger know best.”He said (Allah bless him and give him peace), “It was Jibril. He came to you to teach you your religion.” [Sahih Muslim]

Call Congress to Stop FBI Surveillance, Protect Zakat
November 2009 > Congress is currently debating reauthorizing the USA PATRIOT Act. As you know, the PATRIOT Act has made it difficult for Muslims to give zakat and increased FBI surveillance of our communities and mosques.
Muslim Advocates needs your help to fix this bad law.
Troubling provisions of the PATRIOT Act permit-
* prosecutions of those who work with or give humanitarian aid to those in conflict areas: under the “material support” provision, the government can prosecute a charity or individual if they provide so much as a glass of water or medical assistance to someone in need in a conflict area.
* the government to obtain information about an individual’s phone calls, emails, finances, travels, the types of books read or websites visited, without evidence of criminal activity.
Quran inspired the Muslims to take up Science
It is a fact that it is the Glorious Qur’an alone that inspired the Muslims to take up the scientific study of the universe. For fulfilling their obligations of the religion and Shariah, it urged the Muslims, in varied styles, to reflect upon the natural phenomena, fathom deep into the systems that are upholding the whole administration of this universe and evolve means and methods of seeking benefits from them. Some of such verses are as follows:
Say: ‘Behold all that is in the heavens and on earth.’ (Qur’an, 10:10)
Say: ‘Travel through the earth and see how God did originate creation; so will God produce a later creation.’ (Qur’an, 29:20)
Do they not look at the Camels; how they are made? – And at the Sky, how it is raised high? – And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm? – And at the Earth, how it is spread? (Qur’an, 88:17-20)
Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it, and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it? (Qur’an, 50:6)

God Delusion or Truth?
Hamza Andeas Tzortzis delivers a presentation on the existence of God using a form of the cosmological argument and the miracle of the Qur’an. Hamza begins by dealing with typical Humanist/Atheist responses to the topic and sets the context by introducing the Qur’an as a document that seeks to engage with our intellectual and emotional capacities. Hamza delivers both arguments in a clear and concise way using practical examples and statements from mathematicians, philosophers, linguists and well know scientists.

Muslim Lawyers Issue Urgent Community Advisory
Key tips to keep in mind:
* There is no legal obligation to speak to law enforcement officials. You are only required to provide identification to law enforcement officials if asked and immigrants are required to carry proof of immigration status at all times. Declining to speak cannot be presumed as guilt.
* Any statements made during an interview can be used against you at a later time.
* If approached by the FBI or law enforcement, ask for their business cards and say that your lawyer will contact them. Click here to read entire article

The Role of the Masjid
Hadith reported by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said, “I have been granted five things which were not granted to any other prophet before me: (one of them) The whole earth has been made a Masjid, and pure for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for anyone of you, he should pray wherever he is.”
