     In the name of Allah The Merciful the Compassionate

Alsalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu,
May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Compassion. May
Allah increase us all in knowlege and wisdom.

     The last hour is approaching. Some people are heedless
and turning away from the time that they meet their Lord. Others
are anxious to earn as many deeds as possible in this world's life
while they have the chance. Allah has made a day of judgement,
where Allah will repay everyone fully and justly for their actions.
Allah, The One that has knowlege of all types of creations, will
make a new creation just like He made the first one. That is something
very easy for Allah.  

     Allah, the Mighty Lord and Controller of the heavens and
the earth, has made some signs the last hour. One of those signs
is the animal of the earth (Daabatul Arth in arabic). This sign
casts awe in people. It is one of the commands that Allah
will send to human kind because of their doubts and neglect.

     Allah says, in Surah Naml:

027.082  And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust),
We shall produce from the earth a animal to (face) them: He will
speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance
in Our Signs.

     According to a hadith, prophet Muhammed (May Allah's peace
and blessings be upon him) said:

"An animal will emerge from the earth, and with it will be the staff
of Musa and the ring of Sulaiman (peace be upon them both). It
will strike the nose of the disbeliever with the staff, and it will
make the face of the believer bright with the ring, until when people
gather to eat, they will be able to recognize the believers from the
disbelievers."  
     
It is said that the big animal would come out and put spots
on all the people on the earth. People would then be able to
recognize who is a believer and who is a Kafir. People would be
walking through the streets, eating dinner at home, trading in the
marketplace, and would call each other believer or disbeliever
depending on their marks. It is said that this animal would have
the features of many different animals.

It will indeed be an amazing event when the animal comes
out of the earth and talks to people. Allah has indeed made this
world filled with wonders. I am very happy that Allah has given
us the knowlege about these wonders. May Allah increase us all
much in knowlege and wisdom. May Allah make us remember Him much.
Allah is the All Knowing All Powerful. Amin.

Alsalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa BarakatuHu,
May peace be upon you and Allah's Mercy and His Compassion.
