Jinn are Created from Fire

Jinn are other kind of creations of God. Like angels, the jinn's
appearance also differs from that of man. In the Qur'an we are told
that man was created from clay, while the jinn were created from fire:
We created mankind outof dried clay formed from fetid black mud.
Wecreated the jinn before, out of the fire of a searing wind. (Surat
al-Hijr, 26-27)
He created man from dryearth like baked clay, and He created the jinn
from a fusion of fire. (Suratar-Rahman, 14-15)
In the Qur'an, God also reveals His purpose in creating man and the jinn:
I only created jinn and man to worship Me. (Suratadh-Dhariyat, 56)
It is clear that even though man and the jinn are very different
beings they both were created to worship only God by livingby the
values He prescribed. God has revealed in many verses that both angels
and the jinn have some characteristics that differ from human
characteristics. For instance, both can transport matter:
He (Solomon) said,"Council! Who among you will bring me her (the Queen
of Sheba's) throne before they cometo me in submission?" An audacious
one among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you get up
from your seat. I am strong and trustworthy enough to do it." (Surat
an-Naml,38-39)
The Qur'an also reveals that the jinn, just like the angels, were
created before man. When He created the Prophet Adam (pbuh) God
commanded the angels and the jinn to prostrate before him. Afterthat,
He reveals that satan is one of the jinn:
When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam," they
prostrated, with theexception of Diabolis. Hewas one of the jinn and
wantonly deviated from his Lord's command. Do you take him and his
offspring as protectors apart from Me when they are your enemy? How
evil is the exchangethe wrongdoers make! (Surat al-Kahf, 50)
Creation is easy for God, Who can create from nothing and with no
previous cause. Just as He created the angels and thejinn in different
forms from nothing, He also created man as a separate being from
nothing and with no need for evolution. The same applies to other
living things, such as animals and plants. God created all of these
spontaneously out of nothing and without having them evolve – in other
words, without turning one species into another. Every one of these is
a product of the flawless systems God's might and sovereignty brought
about.

Mayan people believe that the year 2012 is the beginning of a new age when some blessed people will appear

Mayan people belive that the date December 21st, 2012, which is the
end of the Mayan calendar system made up of periods of thousands of
years, refers to the end of a long age.
According to the Mayan calendar the world enters a new age every
1million 872 thousand days. The history of the world consists of
periodsof nearly 5125 years and the end of each one of these periods
mark radical changes and great renovations.
According to the Mayan people, the period in which we live is the
fifthand the last period and it will come to an end onthe date
13.0.0.0.0. According to the Gregorian calendar, this date is 21
December 2012.
According to the Calendar of the Maya, the date of December 22nd 2012
would be represented by what arenamed: 13 Baktun, 0 Katun, 0 Tun, 0
Uinal, and 0 Kin. On their calendar a total of 1,872,000 days will
have elapsed since the beginning of the Maya Era, and this date will
mark the new beginningof the New Era.
For this reason, Mayan people think that December 21st, 2012 is not
only the end of a particular period. They believe that this date is
the beginning of a new period during which some wise, blessed people
will appear and bring a Golden Age to the world.
The Stella (stone structure) depicting that the date December 21st,
2012 is the time when an age will end and a new one will begin.
A stella was found nearby Nohoch Mul, the second highest pyramid among
the Coba Pyramids of the Ancient Mayan civilization. This stella
depicts the age that starts on August 11, 3114 BC and ends in December
21st 2012.
It is estimated that this stella is at least 2000 years old, because
settlements in the area where the pyramids of Coba exist have been
dated somewhere between 600 and 900 CE.
Mayan glifs signifying December 22th, 2012
According to the Mayan people the end of the long Mayan Cycle will
bring the end of the age of oppression and violence, and this will
bethe beginning of the "Golden Age". However this beginning will not
be a peaceful transformation; there will be upheavals in every corner
of the world, many disasters will come upon that will wear-out the
structures of the state. These will not happen in a short while; they
will occur in a long period of time. Again according to the Mayan
people, followingall these happenings, "great blessed people", whom
they believe will be the spiritual leaders of all humanity, will come.
Before their coming, there will be spiritual workers who will prepare
their way. Mayan people believe that the date December 21st, 2012
signifies the time when these spiritual workers will gradually
increase their influence.

How the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) Staff turned into a Snake

As He did with the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), God also gave miracles to the
Prophet Moses (pbuh), who, as we know, by the will of God saved his
people from Pharaoh by dividing the sea in two. Again by the will of
God, the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) staff turned into a snake. Thisis how
this fact is revealed in the Qur'an:
What is that in your right hand, Moses?'
He said, 'It is my staff. I lean on it and beat down leaves for my
sheep with it and have other uses for it.'
He said, 'Throw it down, Moses.'
He threw it down and suddenly it was a slithering snake.
He said, 'Take hold of it and have no fear. We will return it to its
original form. (Surah Ta Ha, 17-21)
As with the example of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)making a bird out of
mud, the phenomenon of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) staff is also one of
the greatest proofs that God can create a living thing outside natural
causes.
The moment the ProphetMoses (pbuh) casts downthe rod on his hands, it
turns, as a blessing from God, from being a lifeless piece of wood
into a fast-moving snakethat swallows everything produced by the
others there, in other words that possesses a digestive system. In
this way, God shows people an example of how He creates life out of
nothing. Inanimate matter comes to life onlyby God commanding it to
"Be!" This miracle bestowed on the Prophet Moses (pbuh) byGod
demolished the superstitious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians, and the
people around him immediately saw the truth, abandoned their
superstitious beliefs and believed in God.
God creates from nothing with no need ofnatural causes. In the same
way that He created the jinn and the angels in different ways,He also
created human beings as separate entities, with no need for evolution.
The same applies to other living things, such as animals and plants.
God has created all of these from nothing, without causing any of them
to evolve, in other words, without turning one species into another.
As is revealed in verses, God gives the command"Be!" and it is:
It is He Who created the heavens and the Earth with truth. The day He
says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth… (Surat al-An'am, 73)
Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it 'Be!' and
it is. (Surat an-Nahl, 40)
It is He Who gives life and causes to die. When He decides on
something, He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (Surah Ghafir, 68)
That being the case, it is therefore a grave error for believers to
raise specious objections to this clear fact and to make inconsistent
claimsalong the lines of "God created living things through evolution"
and"In creating, He used mutations, natural selection, the
intermediate stages between apes and humans."

To abide by the pathshown by our Prophet (saas)

Our Prophet (saas) has described the End Times inwhich we are living
in considerable detail. One ofthe main features of the End Times is
that, in that period Muslims will face many difficulties, troubles and
pains. That is because,as our Prophet (saas) reveals, this period is
one in which irreligion will spread, materialist and Darwinist
ideologies will engage in intensive propaganda. During this period
many people will abandon religious moral values altogether, true
believers will be few in number, Allah will be blatantly denied
(surely Allah is beyond that), Islamic countries such as Iraq and
Afghanistan will be invaded, Muslims will be besieged in Bayt
al-Maqdis, tyrannical rulerswill oppress the public in many Islamic
countries. In this period disorder and terror will enfold the world,
corruption will spring up somewhere else as it dies down in one place
and innocent people will be unjustly killed, women and children will
be slaughtered, people will live in fear and terror and despite all
this Muslims will still be fragmented. (For more detail in this
subject, see http://www.endoftimes.net/ )
However, while warning Muslims in great detail about these problems
they will encounter, our Prophet (saas) has also shown them how they
can be saved from these difficulties. Almighty Allahwill free the
Islamic world and all mankind from difficulties and troubles of all
kinds by sending HazratMahdi (as) when the calamities of the End Times
are at their fiercest. Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a holy individual
descended fromour Prophet (saas), who, according to the hadiths and
statements by Islamic scholars, will appear in Hijri 1400, in this
century in other words, and will lead people out of the darkness into
which they have fallen, towards the light. Rasulullah (The Messenger
of Allah) (saas) has described in detail Hazrat Mahdi's (as) physical
characteristics, the kind of struggle he will wage, where he will come
from and what he will do. He has provided amazing details about all
this. According to these details, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will serve in
Istanbul, will wage an intellectual struggle against Darwinism and
materialism, will neutralize the corruption that turns people from
religious moral values, willconstruct the Turkish-Islamic Union by
uniting the Islamic world, will put an end to all forms of injustice
and unfairness, will be instrumental in people growing and becoming
very wealthy in both material and physicalterms and, together with the
Prophet Jesus(pbuh), will make the moral values of Islam rule the
world. He will be instrumental in a time likethe Age of Felicity
taking place across the world, when Allah fully manifestsHis title of
al-Hadi (Who Guides), when people fullyabide by the moral values
commanded by Allah, when there is plenty and abundance everywhere and
when joy and happiness reign.
