			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw at Yahoo Answers, in comments or other social networks that many people want to know what is Mecca and it&#8217;s importance in Islam and for Muslims. If you are from any Muslim country then this looks like a very simple question but for those who want to know about Islam or they are planning to convert or those who just dig into Islam. They want to know more, so I decided to tell them briefly.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is Mecca?</span></h3>
<p>Actually Mecca also written as Makkah situated in Saudi Arabia and one of the holiest city in religion Islam. Name Kabah comes from the Arabic word meaning &#8216;cube&#8217;, it refers to the cube-shaped stone inside the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. The word &#8220;Mecca&#8221; is so popular that it is also added in English dictionary meaning something that is most important. Holy city laid near the coast of the Red Sea. and it has total population of 1,290,000.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mecca History:</span><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Mecca-History.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-288 aligncenter" title="Mecca History" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Mecca-History.gif" alt="Mecca History What Is Mecca and Why Important For Muslims" width="645" height="320" /></a></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">According to Islamic tradition, Mecca history was goes back to Prophet Abraham who built the Kaaba with His son, Prophet Ishmael in around 2000 BCE. Mecca is the place that links to many of the Prophets that Almighty Allah sent to us. So it is in news and history books from long time.</p>
<p>At first Masjid al-Haram constructed by Prophet Abraham which stands upright bearing evidence of various events which took place. The Holy Quran says that Mecca was attacked by the Ethiopians in the year when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) born.</p>
<p>Mecca in the ancient era was a major trade hub. There were Idols everywhere before Islam arrived. If we say that Prophet Muhammad open His eyes in Idol world, then it is not wrong. before emergence of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the city was under the rule of Banu-Quraish.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Why Mecca Important For Muslims:</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/New-Mecca.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-290" title="New Mecca" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/New-Mecca.jpg" alt="New Mecca What Is Mecca and Why Important For Muslims" width="645" height="320" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As we talked earlier that it is a busy place and in history from thousands of years. But why Mecca is important for Muslims. Actually the thing is Islam started it&#8217;s ground level there. Mecca was the birthplace of Muslim&#8217;s last messenger Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He spent his earlier 40 years there. Then He went to Madina and after building authority, He came back as a victories and live rest of His life in Mecca as well.</p>
<p>Secondly, Holy Kaaba also present in Masjid al-Haram which present in Mecca. Millions of Muslim visited Masjid al-Haram to perform Hajj. It is also the world largest unity place for people, where millions of people gather from all races, community, countries without any difference and pray to their God. Every Muslim must need to perform Hajj at least once in life. So Mecca is every important.</p>
<p>There are many other things that are also rememberable for Muslims such as many Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s companions also buried in Mecca. Many Mosques that built with Prophet Muhammad hands. The Zamzam Well, the holy well which sprung into existence with Prophet Ishmael heels when He was rubbing them with thrust. It was also in Mecca, just next to Kaaba in Masjid al-Haram. There are also many other things that is why Mecca is important and so holiest for Muslims.</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, kaaba built by Prophet Abraham. There is a large black stone inside it. Confirmed by Muslims/Christian historian that Angel Gabriel gave this to Prophet Abraham at Allah&#8217;s will. It is the focal point for worship during daily prayers, it unifies all Muslims, direction of every Muslims during prayers is towards Kaaba known as Qibla.</p>
<p>Hopefully you understand what is Mecca and it&#8217;s importance for Muslims. Write below if you still have any question or comment for me.<img src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=287&#038;type=feed" alt=" What Is Mecca and Why Important For Muslims"  title="What Is Mecca and Why Important For Muslims" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all I wanna let you know that why I didn&#8217;t write any posts from last 4-5 days, actually I&#8217;m suffering from very bad Flu. doctor told me to take rest as you can. Eyes shutters down due to pain. Not doing any activity from last few days. Still not feeling well, but I decided to publish something for my readers because it&#8217;s too many days atleast for me to cut off from you people.</p>
<p>In these days, I saw a very informative historic Islamic documentary known as &#8220;When the Muslims Ruled Europe.&#8221; It was the legendary documentary presented by the very famous English historian <strong>Bettany Hughes</strong>. Hughes did a very fine job in researching the Islamic history that somehow missing from the history papers. She really gathered very solid proves for Non-Muslims to understand the real Islam and for Muslims too to let them know about their ancestors and their achievements.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Headlines About Moors:</span></h3>
<p>Moors (people who ruled Europe) was the most richest, most educated, civilized and powerful in the world. They enter in Europe when Europe was in dark ages. Moors are the one who gave progress and knowledge to Europe. They ruled Europe almost 700 years from 700 AD to 1400th century.</p>
<p>Although Christians burnt almost everything when they conquer Spain, but still their Keepsakes present such as the Cordoba Mosque and so much others.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It&#8217;s Documentary Time:</span></h3>
<p>Here is a complete documentary for you. Please let me know your opinions on this movie. When the Muslims Ruled Europe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might know this <strong>Burying dead body vs Burning dead body</strong> is a great debate in countries where Hindus, Muslims Or Christians live together, especially in India. Hindus and Sikhs follows burning while Muslims and Christians follows burying process. Here I like to mention 5 prove that why burying dead body is far better than burning. In today&#8217;s science world where many people only believes in scientific theories, I also like to raise some scientific points so it&#8217;s easy for anyone to understand.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1)   Soil Fertilized in Burying Dead Body</span></h3>
<p>Our body particles are very similar to particles of our soil, when body remain there for few years, that will dissolves in soil. So that soil will be more fertile.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2)   Wood Save in Burying Process</span></h3>
<p>Burning process is really playing it&#8217;s part in forest cutting. It is the only cause which consumes more than 100 ton wood per day in India alone. If we compare this with Burying, then that is really straightforward.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3)   Air Polluted in Burning Dead Body</span></h3>
<p>Burning dead bodies is one of the ordinary cause in air pollution. When you burn a body, smoke really hurt your environment as well as damage your health. But in burying process, nothing like this.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4)   Much Less Expense in Burying</span></h3>
<p>Buying wood, buying oil is an expensive task in burning dead body. Annually hundreds and thousands of dollars serve in this, only because Hindus burn their dead bodies in India. As compared to this, burying dead bodies is very cheap and simple. It cost you less than half from burning.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">5)   Human Body Components Present In Soil</span></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s scientifically proved that most of the elements that are present in human body are also in minor or higher quantity in the soil. Hence it is more reasonable, as it&#8217;s really  easy to get decompose and mix in soil. So Burying process is always a winner in any case.<img src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=274&#038;type=feed" alt=" 5 Prove Why Burying Is Better Than Burning Dead Body"  title="5 Prove Why Burying Is Better Than Burning Dead Body" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Holy Quran is a complete miracle and inside it, there is also hundreds of miracles. We are discussing only one of them at now that most of the people don&#8217;t know about. I did a very good research, as my basic responsibility is to provide the information with solid proves. and found this is absolutely correct so it&#8217;s a perfect time to share this with all of you.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Holy Quran Scientists:</span></h3>
<p>The whole credit goes to those Holy Quran scientists, who are spending days and nights to found these things and prove to people that Yes! Quran is the one, who can benefits you in this world and here after. As Allah said &#8220;<span style="color: #008000;">And hold fast altogether to the Rope of Allah and do not become divided.</span>&#8220;(The Rope of Allah is holy Quran). [Surah Aal-’Imraan 3: 103].</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Miracle of Numbers in Holy Quran:</span></h3>
<p>So back to topic, Actually those Quranic scientists found that many of Quran&#8217;s verses that mentioned one thing is equals to another, e.g, Life = death. For further explaining, see below the words mentioned in Arabic Quran.</p>
<p>Man 24 = Woman 24  (So both of them are equals)<br />
Dunia (one name for life) 115 = Aakhirat (one name for the life after this world) 115<br />
7 Heaven 7 = Creation of Heaven 7<br />
Malaika (Angels) 88 = Shayateen (Satan) 88<br />
People 50 = Messengers 50<br />
Museebah (calamity) 75 = Thanks 75<br />
Faith 25 = Infidelity 25<br />
People who are mislead 17 = Dead people 17<br />
Zakat (Taxes Muslims pay to the poor) 32 = Barakah (Increasing or blessings of wealth) 32<br />
Sun 33 = Light 33<br />
Desite 8 = Fear 8<br />
Hardship 114 = Patience 114<br />
Paradise 77 = Hell 77<br />
Tongue 25 = Sermon 25<br />
Muslimeen 41 = Jihad 41<br />
Eblees (king of devils) 11 = Seek refuge from Eblees 11<br />
Benefit 50 = Corrupt 50<br />
Life 145 = Death 145</p>
<p>These are not all, here are some more that appeals you little more.</p>
<p>Quran mentioned Salah 5 times in Quran<br />
Quran mentioned Month 12 times in Quran<br />
Quran mentioned Days 365 times in Quran<br />
Quran mentioned Sea 32 times in Quran<br />
Quran mentioned Land 13 times in Quran</p>
<p>Little more math for Sea and land.</p>
<p>Sea + land = 32+13= 45<br />
Sea = 32/45*100=71.11111111%<br />
Land = 13/45*100 = 28.88888889%<br />
Sea + land =100.00%</p>
<p>Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while the land covers 28.889%.</p>
<p>What you can say about this, Is this a coincidence?</p>
<p>Allah Said in Quran <span style="color: #008000;">&#8220;(This is) a Scripture (Quran) the revelations whereof are perfected and then expounded (In every sphere of knowledge etc) and then explained in details from One (Allah Almighty), who is all Wise and Informed (from all things)</span>&#8221; [Surah-Hud 11:1].</p>
<p>Now a big question arises for non-Muslims who believes that Prophet Muhammad wrote Holy Quran. Question is who tought Prophet Muhammad all this? Read more <a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/2009/09/19/prophet-muhammad-said-1400-yrs-ago/" target="_blank">What Prophet Muhammad said 1400 years ago</a>. The thing is, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)was illiterate, so all these word repetitions couldn&#8217;t have been calculated by an illiterate man. All these cannot possibly by coincidences as well. When it comes to the Word of God, even the insignificant outer (physical aspects besides the meanings) are miraculous.</p>
<p>I also want to share a video with you so you can understand it completely.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pakistan is well known for its cultural heritage. Whether we talk about this cultural heritage in a sense which relates religious matters or towering Islamic architecture, Pakistan will always be at the top of the merit list. It has a vibrant spectrum containing all the colors of the Islamic architecture. While talking about Islamic architecture, it’s the Pakistani mosques which catch our eyes. Not only are these mosques beautiful but engineering marvels as well. Here is a list which clearly depicts the 10 best mosques of Pakistan.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Faisal Mosque:</span></h3>
</li>

Check my story <a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/2009/08/25/taraveeh-in-shah-faisal-mosque-islamabad-worlds-beautiful-mosque/">when I prayed taraveeh in Shah Faisal Mosque</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Badshahi Mosque:</h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Badshahi-Mosque-pakistan.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-225" title="Badshahi Mosque, pakistan" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Badshahi-Mosque-pakistan.jpg" alt="Badshahi Mosque pakistan 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>“Badshahi Mosque” literally means “Emperors Mosque”. Its construction was started in May 1671 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. It is situated in Lahore and is the second largest mosque in Pakistan. It is the fifth largest mosque in the world. It is Lahore’s major landmark and a great tourist attraction. It attracts a net total of more than 5, 00,000 tourists from all over the world. Its courtyard covers an area of 278,784 sq ft. it can accommodate total of 110,000 people at a time.</p>
<ul>

</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mosque_tooba.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-226" title="mosque_tooba" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mosque_tooba.jpg" alt="mosque tooba 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Tooba Mosque is located in Karachi (largest city of Pakistan). One of its common names is “Gol Masjid” which is probably because of its elliptical structure. It was built in 1969. It is claimed to be the largest single dome mosque in the world. It is a major tourist attraction. Tooba Mosque was built with pure white marble. Its dome is 236 ft in diameter. It has a single minaret 70 meters high. Its central hall can accommodate total of 5000 people. It was designed by the famous Pakistani architect Dr Babar Hamid Chauhan.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mohabbat Khan Mosque:</span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/muhabbat-khan-mosque-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-229" title="muhabbat khan mosque copy" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/muhabbat-khan-mosque-copy.jpg" alt="muhabbat khan mosque copy 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Commonly known as &#8220;Masjid Muhabbat Khan&#8221; is situated in Peshawar, NWFP Pakistan. It’s a 17th century mosque. It was named after Nawab Mohabbat Khan who was the Mughal Governor of the area in that period of time. He served under the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It was built in 1670. Primarily it is orthodox in design. It has an ablution pond in its middle. Its minarets were used in Sikh times as a substitute for gallows. A fire that raged through the Andar Sheher Bazaar in 1895 failed to destroy the mosque because of the unremitting efforts of the faithful.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Eid Gah Mosque:</span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/eid-gah-mosque.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228" title="eid gah mosque" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/eid-gah-mosque.jpg" alt="eid gah mosque 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>

It has seven domes which are very beautiful and are built by using a special material developed by fusing clay, marble and chalk stone. It can accommodate a total of 2000 people (Worshipers).

But still it stands today on the chest of the earth telling the story of its survival.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Suneri Mosque:</span></h3>

<p>As my mother&#8217;s city is Sialkot, so I know &#8220;Jamia Masjid Sialkot&#8221; greatness. It is located in very populated area covering the needs of people residing in Sialkot. They consider it as a vital part of their heritage. It is the largest mosque of Sialkot. It can accommodate a total of 50,000 worshipers. It possesses two large and one small minaret.

<p>Wazir Khan Mosque is situated in Lahore. It is a very holy place from religious point of view. It is famous for its extensive tile work on its exterior and interior walls. It is sometimes called as “a mole on the cheek of Lahore”. Shah Jehan built this in 1635. It looks same after centuries passed away.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Moti Masjid:</span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Moti-Musjid-Lahore.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-233" title="Moti Musjid Lahore" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Moti-Musjid-Lahore.jpg" alt="Moti Musjid Lahore 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Moti Masjid literally means ‘pearl mosque’. It was built in 17th century. It is situated inside the Lahore fort, built using pure and stainless white marble in 1637. As Shah Jehan created many beautiful mosques in his time, this is also one of them. It is comparatively small as compared to other mosques of Lahore but I put it is top 10 because it is so beautiful. It is established on the western side of the fort. The Sikhs robbed off its precious jewels which were fixed on its walls during the revolt of 1857. It stands today towering high in the sky telling the story of the generations of people who has passing by.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Bhong Mosque:</span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BhongMosque.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-234" title="BhongMosque" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BhongMosque.jpg" alt="BhongMosque 10 Best Mosques of Pakistan" width="645" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Bhong Mosque is located in the area of Bhong, Sahibabad, in the district Rahim Yar Khan. Its construction was started in 1932 and was completed in 1982. It won the “Agha Khan Award for Architecture” in 1986. A postage stamp with its picture was issued in May 12, 2004 in Pakistan. I&#8217;m planning to visit this wonderful architecture of my country.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the day passes many well known scientists who research more and more about Quran&#8217;s teachings and what the Holy Quran said about science, they almost at this point that Quran said exactly the right thing almost 1400 years ago. They are wondering, if Holy Quran is not the word of God then who an uneducated person who don&#8217;t know reading and writing like Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), predicted all the things about future as well as things about astronomy, brotherhood, also how can such type of person gave us the world&#8217;s greatest economic system that many believes that way of salvation for today&#8217;s world.</p>
<p>No need to go into long discussion because video is just next to you. You can clearly see what Christian/Jewish scientists think about Holy Quran and how they link Quran/Future prediction/Science together. There is whole lot more for non-Muslim brothers and sisters to think what is true and where they are going.</p>

<p>If you are looking for exact details, I mean in above video you only see scientists comments but in the video below, Christian/Jewish scientists will prove to you with facts and figures that what Holy Quran said about human structure and universe around 1400 years ago that scientists are now discovering.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the story of a non-Muslim women who use to wear Hijab regularly. She raised some very nice points, that we and also those who don&#8217;t believe in Hijab (women protection) need to take a look. She explained some historical as well as scientific things that are too right.</p>
<p>My biggest concern to those who talked wrong things about Hijab is, &#8220;Hijab is also in their own religious books&#8221;. For example, if you are a Christian then Bible also said that covering women body as well as hair is necessary as Nuns do and if you are a Jew, Hindu or following any other religion then wearing Hijab is also in your own books. Why they only attach Hijab to Islam, but I personally feel more proud to hear that our sisters are following the true guidance. So we are more in to their religion then themselves. This is what really makes me comfortable and proud.</p>
<p>Anyway! here is the video for you of a girl who wear Hijab and telling people her own experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/muhammad.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-185 alignright" title="Muhammad (pbuh)" src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/muhammad-287x300.jpg" alt="muhammad 287x300 This Is What Prophet Muhammad Said 1400 Yrs Ago!" width="310" height="157" /></a></p>
<p>As you know judgement day is a must thing that will happen to every human being. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed us these signs  almost 1400 years ago about judgement day. You can clearly see that most of them already happened and remaining will occur on their specific time as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned.</p>
<p>Today Science is talking/proving things that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said 1400 years ago. You can image the power of a person, Who was not educated in any institution nor at home, don&#8217;t know read or write but He teached us the things, those happened and still  happening as He said word by word. Subhan Allah!</p>
<p>He said these things on quite different occasions but I&#8217;m going to summarize them and writing the actually context of wording.</p>
<ul>
<li>People will ride on saddles that aren&#8217;t saddles (Think about Cars)</li>
<li>The distance on earth will become short. (Think about Aeroplanes)</li>
<li>Horses will not be use in wars. (Think what is going on nowadays)</li>
<li>Muslims will defeat the Byzantines which will end with the conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul).</li>
<li>The Jews will gather again to live in Bilad Canaan.</li>
<li>Very tall buildings will build (What is happening these days)</li>
<li>The disappea<span style="font-family: 'Arial';"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span>rance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance, with much killing. (Think same thing are happening today)</li>
<li>Adultery will become widespread, and the drinking of wine will become common (Nowaday is a best example)</li>
<li>The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase until there are 50 women to be looked after by one man. (Still women increase and ratio is going higher and higher with everyday passes)</li>
<li>Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. (Almost this thing is present and continue to become worst)</li>
<li>Allah will send a disease to fornicator that will have no cure (Think about Aids)</li>
<li>People will begin to believe in the stars and reject AL QADAR. (Nowadays, muslims as well believing in stars. Al Qadar is &#8216;The divine decree of destiny&#8217;)</li>
<li>Men will pass by people&#8217;s graves and say: &#8216;Would that I were in his place&#8217;; (Think about large amount of suicidal deaths these days)</li>
<li>Two large groups of people will fight one another, and there will be many casualties; they will both following the same religion (Think about World War II)</li>
<li>Approximately 30 DAJJALS will appear, each one claiming to be the messenger of ALLAH.</li>
<li>Earthquakes will increase (What is going on these days)</li>
<li>Time will pass quickly (What is going on these days)</li>
<li>Killing will increase (What is going on these days)</li>
<li>Wealth will increase (Yup! Think about nowadays but this is still to be increase as Prophet Said)</li>
<li>Women will be wearing clothes but not wearing clothes</li>
</ul>
<p>These are some of the things that holy Prophet Muhammad said on separate occasions. Most of the things are happening these days but some of them still needs to be even more worse as Prophet said.</p>
<p>And on another occasion Prophet said: &#8216;If my ummah (followers) bears 15 traits (qualities), tribulation (judgement day) will follow it&#8217;. Someone asked; What are they O messenger of Allah. Then Prophet replied:</p>
<ul>
<li>When any gain  shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor.</li>
<li>When a trust becomes a means of making profit.</li>
<li> When paying ZAKAT becomes a burden.</li>
<li> When voices are raised in the mosque.</li>
<li> When the leaders are the worst of all.</li>
<li> When people treat a man with respect because what he may do.</li>
<li> The appearance of the Imam MAHDI.</li>
<li> The appearance of the DAJJAL (Anti Christ).</li>
<li> The appearance of Ya&#8217;juj and Ma&#8217;juj (biblical Gog and Magog).</li>
<li> Isa (Jesus) will come during the time of Dajjal and kill him.</li>
<li> The rising of the sun from the west.</li>
<li> The destruction of the Ka&#8217;ba and the recovery of its treasures.</li>
<li> The wind that destroy almost all things.</li>
<li> The smoke that will punishes all the non-believers.</li>
</ul>
<p>No time to go into details of these signs but will go in short future and talked about them one by one. Just hang with me and continue reading more interesting things on this blog. Your inspiration is really what I want at this point.</p>
<p>Back to topic, as we look at this article we realize how true the Messenger (P.B.U.H) was, these signs were prophesized 1400 years ago!. It shows that Prophet Muhammad was a true messenger of God and also the Holy Quran told us these things.</p>
<p>So my dear brothers and sisters! if you still not start what Allah Almighty told us to do in this apparent world, then act now, you also know that we have very less time. So act now with good intentions so Allah will help us to became a good Muslim and if you are a good Muslim, you are also a good social personality.<img src="http://www.islamconcepts.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&#038;id=184&#038;type=feed" alt=" This Is What Prophet Muhammad Said 1400 Yrs Ago!"  title="This Is What Prophet Muhammad Said 1400 Yrs Ago!" /></p>
