See they not what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We please, We can make them low in the land or bring down upon them a portion of heaven. Surely there is a sign in this for every servant turning (to Allah).�Holy Qur�an, Surah 34, verse 9

It was deeply sorrowful to awaken that same Sunday morning that I spoke at Muhammad Mosque No. 45 in Houston to hear the news of the crashed EgyptAir�s Flight 990 into the Atlantic Ocean�within three months of the tragic Plane Crash that brought John F. Kennedy, Jr., his wife and his sister-in-law to their deaths in the same dark and murky waters, near Mar-tha�s Vineyard and Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. One could not help but raise the question as to why so many tragedies are besetting this Nation and the Nations around the globe on such an unprecedented scale?

Upon every morning�s awakening, the tragedy of deaths are mounting from incidences of all sorts related to the evil accidents of time affecting common humanity, from the men and women and children of the streets to the well known celebrities of our time. Along with this grief and sadness, mass scale natural disasters are occurring at an alarming rate resulting in floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and storms with complex weather patterns and climatic changes�which are even melting chunks of ice breaking off from the Polar regions moving into our Great Lakes and Oceans, which are also adding to rising flood waters on all coastal regions. Added to this news, we are experiencing devastating Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions producing world wide catastrophes and Shakings. Are these not the signs of the Apocalypse visiting us on the heel of the New Millennium?

All the while that we are witnessing these Calamities, we are experiencing an internal rot and decay as a Nation and as a people, expressed in the Holy Qur�an, in Chapter 30 entitled: The Romans, verse 41, in the following words: "Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of that which men�s hands have wrought, that He may make them taste a part of that which they have done, so that they may return."

In the Book of Romans, in the Bible, this same condition is described in these words: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not seemly, Being filled with all un-righteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whispers, Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents; Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; Who, knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans, Chapter 1, verses 28-32.

What more needs to be said about the current state of affairs of men and nations around the globe. Both the Holy Qur�an and the Bible describe the Present World Order that is dominated by Satan and his opposing world order to that of the establishment of God�s Kingdom.

It is clear that the subject of these current articles exposes a world-wide opposition to the Kingdom of God on Earth which is operating in high places to overthrow and destabilize the Righteous. Satan�s efforts to remain in Power has produced the condition of a world-wide moral emergency crisis that in the end will destroy root and branch of all of God�s opponents regardless to how great and overwhelming their numbers may appear to be.

Our Nation is Honeycombed with these types of Hypocrites who will Soon be separated from our midst by Allah�s Divine Intervention. "And those who disbelieve say: The Hour will never come to us. Say: Yea, by my Lord, the Knower of the unseen! it will certainly come to you. Not an Atom�s weight escapes Him in the heavens or in the earth, nor is there less than that nor greater, but (all) is in a clear book" �Holy Qur�an, Surah 34, verse 3
