In addition to what has been put as prophicies of judgment day in islam, I say:
The messanger of Allah did not mention sings of future for fun or for stories to be told, rather for people to take notice.
Whoever does take notice and act upon it wins, and who fails loses.
Signs are divided by imam Barzanji, (>300 years ago) to three:
1- Signs have come and seazed to exist.
e.g. Persia will be under Muslims, as well as Jureselum. A fire will be in a place in Madina and will be seen in Sham (Syria), Second Khalifah will be
killed...etc.
2- Signs have come and still exist.
e.g. Making music instruments Halal, drinking Alcohol and given it different name (i.e. wine, beer ...etc),
Fighting terrorists(Khawarij, people who exit from Islam) (Terrorism ideology is not new to Islam, the prohpet has already warned about it and
described the people who will follow it and where most of their ideology comes from, place, and that whenever a group of them destroyed another will
appear)
3- Signs have not yet come (Imam Barzanji's time)
e.g. embargo on Iraq and then Sham(Syria) ....mmm!!!, Imam Almahdi, and Dajjal (antichrist), Gold mountain will appear after water level in the
Euphrate river declines
Newyork Times article 2009 ....etc
the reason I try to mention that is to make people aware that things that happen around us are notice to us, all of us, to rethink of our actions and
beliefs.
I will skip the first type of signs, as non believers would claim that because it did not happen in out lifetime; Muslim historians might have faked
it to suite the signs mentioned.
I will go straight to second type of signs.
1- Bedouin the barefeet, the naked, the dependent and shepeard race in building skyscrapers.
This is obvious, no one can deny the fact that the bedouin of yesterday who have one story tent, would race on whose building is higher.
I was in Doha, Qatar. Few months back, and a Christian taxi driver told me, referring to tall buildings, in Dafna district which 10 years ago had only
sheraton hotel, (you see these tall buildings!!!)
I said: yes !!!?,
he said: ( they only build them to show off, one will build one, and the other will try to compete with him and will build a higher building!!!)
Dubai, Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Makkah, and recently you would here about the tallest building in the world in Jeddah) Kuwait, Qatar Bahrain,
Almost all tall buildings belong to Bedouin,
Commenting on the description,
Bedouin, are barefeet and naked, as one multi million Dollar Saudi Businessman told my uncle that he remembers himself barefeet and naked outside
their tent when he was a child.
Dependent: Bedouin did not use to grow, so they depend on people from different cities to exchange with them wheat.
For the record, I am here to present facts, and my aim is not to say whether or not the bedouin have the right to be rich and to have tall
building.
To be continued.......
- here is the
New York Times link on that news. 
Prevented by people who didn't want to change their belief perhaps?
