Coleridge in his poem ‘The Ancient Mariner’: “Water, water
everywhere nor any drop to drink”
God’s prophets have constantly told us that the present
world will not be eternal, that it is perpetually on its countdown,
and that a time will come when its term will expire and it will
come to its end. All the scientific evidence tells us that this
countdown is approaching its final number.
The scientists of the 20th century discovered the law of
entropy and concluded that the world’s energy is continuously
on the decrease, and that this process cannot be reversed.
Therefore, it is certain that after a fixed period of time the
present world will come to its end. Now the scientists of the
21st century have told us, according to their researches, that the
time for the end of the present world has come very close. It
could even be a mere 10 to 20 years.
All these revelations which are being covered in the media
under the heading of ‘global warming’ are in fact ‘divine warning’.
This is a declaration by the Creator that, according to His plan,
this period of the world has come to its end. According to this
plan, the first phase has expired. Now the time is not far away
when the present world will be replaced by its second phase.
The first phase, meant purely as a test for mankind, was
temporary. The second phase will be for the result of that test,
and it will be eternal.
In the present world, man has been given freedom of action.
This is not because he deserves freedom on account of his general
prowess: it was allotted to him temporarily for the purpose of
testing him. It was meant to see who makes the proper use of
freedom and who misuses it. According to the system of nature,
the record of every man and woman is being prepared. This
record will be presented before the Creator in the next stage of
life. Those whose records show that they made proper use of
their freedom “will find a place in Paradise where they will live
eternally.” (Quran) They will be accorded by their Creator a place
where they will lead an eternal life of comfort and happiness.
On the contrary, those whose record shows that they misused
