The End is near - Talking shoe, whip, stick and thigh

Several years ago, when I was quite young, I read a hadith in a book about End Times about the Talking thigh and shoes. I could not understand that what does a talking thigh or talking shoe mean. But now the technology is so evolved that these things are not impossible and Information, Communication and Computer technology has completely changed the world. Now those things are possible which are impossible few years back. GPS system, Wireless internet, Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi and other means of communication and networking to get connected with millions of people around the world are the some examples of great technological change.

There are so many gadgets available made by different companies based on the above mentioned technologies. Everything is smart now, smart phones, smart Tv, smart cars etc.A year ago, I read on the internet that Google has experimentally developed a shoe that talks. It reminded me the Hadith mentioned in Tirmizi as :

It was reported from Abu Sa'id that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, the Hour will not come until wild animals talk to men, and a man speaks to his whip or his shoe, and his thigh will tell him about what happened to his family after he left." 

Tirmizi - Kitab Al-Fitn

It is also mentioned in another book of Hadith i.e. Ahmed:

It was reported from Abu Sa'id that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhe wa sallam) said: "The Hour will not come until the time when a man will leave his home, and his shoes or whip or stick will tell what is happening to his family."

Modern day communication technology has made it possible to make gadgets mentioned in the Hadith. Now a days, every company is trying to make its products "Smart", means to automate them with the computer technology and the products should be controlled with wireless communication technology. Now the shoes are also available that can be connected to your smart phone and generate statistics about your workout and share them on social media. Various companies like Adidas, Nike etc. are developing such smart shoes.

According to Daily mail about Google's Talking Shoes:

Google, which unveiled the trainers at the SXSW technology festival in Austin, Texas, developed the concept to showcase the possibilities of integrating everyday objects with cutting-edge technology.

 Advertising executive Aman Govil said:

The shoe was an exercise in showing what could be done – ‘an experiment’ in connecting any kind of object to the web and using it to collect and analyse information.

Now lets explore how'd a thigh inform about anyone's family. It was really difficult to understand but when I did some research on the Internet about the latest gadgets, I found the a product called "Thiphone". It is actually a holster that straps your phone to your thigh. The benefit of Thiphone is that your both hands are free to do anything else and you also want to see you phone's screen for text messages and other things.

In the search of smart gadgets, I found another interesting thing called "Smart walking stick" for elderly people developed by Fujitsu, a Japanese company.This may be the stick mentioned in Hadith. This smart walking stick is equipped with all the latest communication technologies like GPS, 3G and WiFi. It has an LED screen which shows the directions and this stick also helps to avoid obstacles. With this stick, elderly people will be connected to their family back at home.

The above described equipment and gadgets are proving the prophecies foretold by the prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) and I am sure, the things described in above mentioned hadith are pointing out the latest communication technology used today. It is the fact that we are living in the era of tribulations and we just have to realize this fact.

The End is near - Effeminate men and Masculine women

Last month i.e. May, I was watching news on TV when I saw a news about a song competition named as Eurovision Song Contest 2014, which is quite normal but the thing that caught my attention is that the winner of the that song competition was a bearded woman named Conchita Wurst. I was startled to saw that.because this was a mega event, contestant came here to participate in this contest from all over the Europe. Amazingly the organizers of the event allowed that bearded and weird looking woman to participate in the contest.

After watching the news, I turned on my computer and did some research about her and I found out that the bearded woman is actually a man disguised him self as woman. His real name is Tom Neuwirth and he is an Austrian singer and openly declared gay.

Tom Neuwirth without make.

The above mentioned story reminded me the famous character of Pakistan called "Begum Nawazish Ali". In the same manner as Tom Neuwirth, Ali Saleem was born and raised as a boy but eventually he turnout to be a gay and convert himself as Effeminate man. He also openly declared him self gay and sometimes bisexual.

Eurovision is a European event and they do what ever they want to do but the case of Begum Nawazish Ali was quite surprising. The show hosted by Ali Saleem (Begum Nawazish) was On-Aired by Aaj Tv a Pakistani channel. The interesting part of this program is that it is a serious talk show participated by Politicians, Athletes, Sportsman, Business Tycoons, Social Workers, Showbiz celebrities and many more. All the people participated in his show and no one even criticized him about his guise as a woman. It was the sign of general acceptance of transgenders in Pakistan. He was also welcomed by Indians as he also did the show in the same guise as Begum.

These guys reminded me the things I heard in my childhood by my elders. Something about the effeminate men and Masculine women. My mother told me that the time will come when men will begin to look like women and women will begin to look like men and this will be the sign of the Hour. According to the Hadith narrated by Imam al-Hafidh Abu Na'im bin Abdullah al-Asfahani, it is a sign of End Times:

He(Muhammed - peace be upon him) said: "Approaching the Hour you will find: men imitate women, and women imitate men".

Anyone can say that the Cross-dressing is not a sin and they can by found everywhere in the world and in history. I want to clear that, I am not talking about the people with disabilities by birth or they are born neutered. I am discussing here about the people as normal men and women but represent themselves as opposite sex, including people like cross-dressers and transgenders. According to Islamic teachings, Cross-dressing and being a transgender is prohibited.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 

The Prophet cursed effeminate men (those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners of women) and those women who assume the manners of men, and he said, "Turn them out of your houses ." The Prophet turned out such-and-such man, and 'Umar turned out such-and-such woman. 

Bukhari :: Book 72 :: Volume 7 :: Hadith 774 

It is not only prohibited in Islam but also an omen of End times and it is happening now that these cross-dressers and transgenders are widely accepted by the masses and elites like never before in the history. Many of the famous female models and actresses are actually transgenders. They born as a male but after gender reassignment surgery they became women. There is another interesting things is that, there is beauty contest organized for transgenders. The Miss International Queen is the largest beauty pageant for transgenders from all over the world. This contest has been held every year since 2004 in Thailand. The purpose of this beauty contest is to recognize transgenders and create awareness for their rights all over the world, means to legalized it.

Few months ago, I read a news on social media and other news websites about a US Navy Seal veteran, Chris Beck that he is now living the life of a woman after retiring from the Navy. He served in special forces as Senior Chief, twice married and has two sons.

Christopher T. Beck  now Kristin Beck

It was quite amazing that a person severed in the toughest war zones like Afghanistan and Iraq as a member of Special Forces unit commando ultimately turned into a woman. Not only him, there are so many examples of transgenders you can find on the Internet. These men are suffered by the psychological disorder like Homosexuals but transgenders are widely accepted just like the Homosexuals. Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon him) prohibited even to dress like opposite gender but the people now a days are transforming themselves into opposite sex biologically by hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery.

Narrated Abu Hurayrah: 

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed the man who dressed like a woman and the woman who dressed like a man. 

Dawud :: Book 32 : Hadith 4087

Thomas Trace Beatie, a transgender activist is famous as "The Pregnant Man" when a documentary was telecast via Discovery Channel in 2008. Thomas Beatie was actually born and raised as a girl named Tracy Lehuanani LaGondino. But eventually became a man by hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery. He decided to become pregnant when he finds out that his wife is infertile.

Tracy Lehuanani LaGondino now Thomas Trace Beatie.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: 

Ibn AbuMulaykah told that when someone remarked to Aisha that a woman was wearing sandals, she replied: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cursed mannish women. 

Dawud :: Book 32 : Hadith 4088

Anyone can easily observe that now the women are imitating men in every aspect, from dresses to foot-ware and men imitating women by wear silk and gold which is prohibited in Islam for men. These are all signs which are foretold by Prophet (peace be upon him) and mentioned in various books of Hadith. This is the time of great afflictions and tribulations but people laugh at me when I tried to convince them. They just want to cover their eyes and minds and want to live in the dream world. The signs are everywhere, you just have to look around and realize the fact that “The end is near”.
