I was browsing Aljazeera website today (arabic), and it had a news about the winter in the (desert!) gulf region where a spell of freezing weather, not seen for ages, is hitting the region. Especially interestin is the fact that Riyad (the Saudi capital) recorded sub-zero temperatures and snow is anticipated soon. Here is the link to the news piece:

This reminds me of the snow that fell on Dubai 2-3 years ago. And all this reminds of one of the signs of the Day of Judgment, which is the fact that the desert countries become green lands again. Could the substantial weather changes witnessed in recent years be one of those signs? Or is it that we humans became fed up with how things in our world are going that we wish it somehow ends?
But it is interesting to think of how it would like when the end really comes!! Till then, we should all remind ourselves to stay on the right path and remind others as well.
