Sunday, 22 January 2012 09:39Nope - Way OFF: Everyone will walk 10 miles per day! If they don't they will be labelled "as a weakling", because extensive gymnasiums and exercise programmes in school will be compulsory;
Nope - Way OFF: University education will be free (FREE? LOL - JOKE!) to every man, woman and child! Students from poor backgrounds will be given free room and board, free clothing and free books, and the very poor will receive free vacation trips to various parts of the world ... etiquette and housekeeping skills will be taught in all public schools;
Nope - Way OFF: Medical inspection teams will visit schools and provide free dental exams, free eyeglasses and free medical attention of every kind; Again - FREE? - LOL JOKE
Nope - Way OFF: Fewer drugs will be swallowed, and those that are required will be applied directly to the organs through the flesh, via an electric current;
Nope - Way OFF: It will take 2 days to get from New York to England via fast electric ships on runners, and ships will be able to duck below waves to escape heavy storms - popping up after the all-clear;
Nope - Way OFF: Energy will be run with hydro-electric power, every river and creek suitable being utilised and turned into a dam to make electricity for heat, light and fuel ... coastlines will turn the power of waves and salt water into electricity and fresh water supplies;
Air-ships (planes?) will be able to shoot for a radius of 25 miles;
Nope - Way OFF: Moving sidewalks will move people around the inner cities, and cities will therefore be free of noise;
Nope - Way OFF: Pneumatic tubes will deliver food to all houses, and deliver and receive packages;
Nope: Building and housing blocks will be illegal;
Nope - Way OFF: Getting to the suburbs will cost only a penny (.20 cents adjusted), and take just a few minutes (did you ever ride the Local?) ;
Nope - Way OFF: There will be no more mosquitoes or flies, rats and mice will have been exterminated, and roaches will have been virtually destroyed;
Nope - Not yet: No wild animals will exist except in zoos, sheep and cows will no longer have horns but will run faster than a pig (which could outrun a horse in the 19th century);
Nope: Nicaragua and Mexico will ask to be annexed to America; Laugh of the Day
Nope: Russian will be the 2nd most-spoken language on Earth.
Real prophets, peace be upon them, are never wrong in their prophecies - Otherwise they would not be true prophets of Allah.
Our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us of some very serious signs of the "Last Days" and he got it exactly right - over 1,400 years ago. He told the angel Gabriel about the signs of the hour, will be:
"When a slave gives birth to her master - And when you see the Bedoin Arabs competing with each other to build taller buildings in the desert"
These things are already happening and this is time for us to get real serious about our way of life as Muslims.
