An Inconvenient Truth and The Day of Judgment

• Tweet

I was watching the documentary and an interesting thought came to mind… In Islam, we were thought that, amongst other signs, two things would occur on the Day of Judgment:

1) All the people would be gathered on “Arafat” to be judged. – The plains of Arafat are in Saudi Arabia and the place is one of the spots which is included in the rituals of Hajj. It is also the place where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave his last sermon.

Anyway, I have always thought that logically, it would be physically impossible for the whole of creation from past times to now to fit on such a small area. But with the continental drift, and the continents either moving further apart or closer together… if it is closer together, then it would make sense that “Arafat” could be figuratively implying one large landmass in which everyone will be gathered.

Secondly, with Global Warming being what it is at the moment, then the water level will rise and people will be drawn closer inland from the coastal areas, and there will be less land to live on.  So people will be living even closer together on a smaller amount of land.  Again supporting the theory that everyone will be “gathered” at a single place.

2) It will be so hot that people will feel like the sun is right over their heads.  - From “An Inconvenient Truth”, it showed that the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere is getting pretty high, which in turn means that more heat is getting trapped on the Earth, which means It’s Getting Hotter!

So again… implying that it will be so hot that people will feel as if the sun is right over their heads.

Hmmm…  if this is true and Global Warming is a pre-cursor to the Day of Judgment, I think it’s a little too close for comfort.

Peace,

M.
