For many years, people have wondered how theuniverse will end. Many
possibilities spring to mind, but Allah can make it happen without a
cause and all of a sudden. The probabilities revealed byscientific
research constitute a warning and give us the opportunity to reflect
and turn to Allah before that difficult Day comes in accordance with
His will. The believers are certain that the Day of Judgment will
happen atthe predetermined time in His presence. All people will
experience it, for they will be in the All-Powerful's grip, as
follows:
Or let you see what We have promised them. They are completely in Our
power. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 42)
Many events can cause Earth's existing order to collapse and all life
to belost. Furthermore, as time progresses, even more probable causes
are added to the alreadyexisting ones. Many signs indicate that our
world is moving rapidly toward its predetermined end, even if most
people deny the existence of the Day of Judgment. The Qur'an points
out this reality in the following verse:
The Hour is coming, but Ihave concealed it so thatevery self can be
repaid for its efforts. (Surah Ta Ha, 15)
Scientists have reached aconsensus, based on scientific data, that the
universe will be destroyed. Newspapers, magazines, television
programs, and other media outlets often inform people of the latest
scientific discoveries. Researchers who are aware of these facts are
looking for ways to prevent such calamities in order to delay the
universe's death. Another area of research focuses on the probable
changes that would take place on Earth and its effects on life were
such a disaster to strike. The resulting data bears a striking
resemblance to many of the events foretold in the Qur'an.
