Dangane da yadda wadatar dukiya za ta zama alama ta ƙarshen zamani, Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ ya ce: "Idan ka ga marasa takalmi, tsirara, makiyaya na raƙuma suna gasa wajen gina manyan gine-gine, to wannan na daga cikin alamomin Sa'a."320 Shin ba abin mamaki ba ne a ga yankunan hamada masu busasshiyar ƙasa na ƙasashen Gulf, waɗanda suke cikin talauci kamar yadda suke a ƙarni ɗaya da ya wuce, a yau suna gina biyu daga cikin manyan gine-ginen "skyscraper" uku mafi tsayi a duniya?

Regarding how material prosperity will be a sign of the endtimes, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “And if you see the barefoot, naked shepherds of camels competing in the construction of high-rise buildings, then this is from among the signs of the Hour.”320 Is it not remarkable to witness the arid desert regions of the Gulf States, as impoverished as they were a century ago, develop two of the world’s three tallest “skyscraper” buildings today?

A irin wannan hadisi, Annabi صلى الله عليه وسلم ya ce, "Tashin Alƙiyama ba zai zo ba sai mutane sun yi fariya da masallatansu." Ibn ‘Abbās, wanda ya ruwaito hadisin, ya ƙara da cewa, "Za ku yi wa masallatanku ado kamar yadda Yahudawa da Nasara suka yi wa haikalinsu ado."321 Wannan gasa mai tsanani za ta haifar da cutar da wasu, don haka a cikin hadisan Annabi ma muna samun irin wannan annabci game da jin daɗin duniya da cin zarafi. A cikin hadisin al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, ya ce, "Ina rantsuwa da Allah, ba na tsoron talauci ya same ku, amma ina tsoron za ku samu dukiya mai yawa a hannunku kamar al'ummomin da suka gabace ku, sa'an nan ku yi gasa a kanta kamar yadda suka yi gasa, sa'an nan ta halaka ku kamar yadda ta halaka su."322

In a similar hadith, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The Hour will not commence before people boast of their mosques.” Ibn ‘Abbās , the narrator, added, “You will ornament your mosques just as the Jews and Christians did with their temples.”321 This intense competition will involve mistreatment of others, and thus we find parallel prophecies of hedonism and exploitation in the prophetic tradition as well. In the hadith of al-Miswar ibn Makhramah , he صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “By Allah, I do not fear poverty overtaking you, but I fear that you will have abundant wealth at your disposal like the nations before you, causing you to compete in it as they competed in it, and then it destroys you as it destroyed them.”322
