The Hour will not come until the land of the Arabs returns to being gardens and river

[Abu_Abdillah2000]

From Abu Hurayrah, radhiyallahu 'anhu, that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wa-sallam, said: "The Hour will not come until wealth increases and flows in abundance, so that a man will go out with the zakah of his wealth and find no-one to accept it from him, and until the land of the Arabs returns to being gardens and rivers, and until al-haraj becomes widespread." It was said: "And what is al-haraj, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Killing, killing." Narrated by Muslim.

Has this begun already? Look at the following attached photos (taken from a thread in "Ana al-Muslim forums" www.muslm.net/vb/index.php)

[gag order]

which land of the arabs are those pictures of?

[Abu_Abdillah2000]

Somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula I think. It wasn't really made clear on the forums, but most of the people on there are from Saudi Arabia so it was probably there.

I also remember reading after the Indian Ocean Tsunami a few years ago that certain climate patterns were set into motion due to the tsunami which will cause Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula to begin to get much more rainfall than usual, which will result in gardens and rivers, wallahu a'lam!
