There are many theories as to what UFO's(Unidentified Flying Objects) really are. Below is a
list of just a few.
Extraterrestrial Travellers
This is the most popular belief. Many people claimed to have seen these
strange flying
crafts from outer space. Some have even claimed to have been abducted by
alien beings
that occupy these spaceships.
Top-Secret Government Aircraft
This is another popular theory. Some believe the government is testing
top-secret
aircraft. Another interesting twist to this theory is that these top-secret
aircraft are being
develloped by the reverse-engineering of recovered alien spacecraft.
Time Travellers
Another theory is that these craft are travelling from the future and are
flown by humans.
Whatever your beliefs, it is clear that something strange is taking place
in the skies. Yes, it is
true that alot of these UFO sightings and photographs are just hoaxes,
but alot remain
unexplained. Take a look at some of these photographs below.
aircraft test facility contained within Nellis Air Force Base and can not be found on most maps. There are few photographs of Area 51 and Groom Lake and most of those are all over the internet, including the ones found here.
Area 51 gained its
notoriety in 1989 when Bob
Lazar stated that he had
worked with alien
spacecraft at Papoose
Lake, just south of the
test facility. He claimed
to have seen as many as
nine spacecraft in the
hangars there.
This sparked many theories about Area 51 and the
U.S. Government. One of these theories is that the government has had knowledge
and evidence of extra-terrestrial life as early as 1947's Roswell incident.
It is also believed that the government has in it's posession numerous
recovered spacecraft. These spacecraft are supposedly being reverse-engineered
and tested at Area 51.
There are numerous sightings of these UFO's over
and around the base. Of course the government denies any of these allegations.
In fact, it denies that Area 51 even exists despite all thephotographs
and other eyewitness accounts. This
only feeds the fire for UFO cover-up believers.

Antarctic ice shelves said breaking up fast

light in the sky. People from San

have "rocket fins above the tail." An

small meteor streaked across the Western

from San Francisco to Las Vegas, more
than 400 miles away. "It
was bright and blue and really fantastic," one
caller told San Francisco radio
station KCBS. Radio stations in several
other cities, including Santa Barbara
and San Bernardino in Southern
California, also had people calling
in about the mysterious light. People
reported seeing it for about five
seconds, at about 6 a.m. The object was
probably a fireball, or "bolide,"
according to Jose Olivarez, director of
the Chabot Observatory and Science
Center in Oakland. "From the
description, I'd say it was simply
a small meteorite that entered the
atmosphere," he said. "It's not
unusual, but it was clear last night so a
lot of people saw it." Olivarez
said he didn't see the meteor himself.
Callers said the bright light zipped
across the sky, moving from East to
West and vanishing over the horizon.
Sometimes missile launches have been
mistaken for meteors, but the Air

at Vandenberg Air Force base."

Conjunction of Moon and Planets No Disaster: Astronomer
(1/2/99) SHANGHAI (Jan. 2) XINHUA
- "The conjunction of the moon and the
nine planets to form a cross in
the sky in 1999 is no symbol of misfortune,
but rather a normal astronomical
phenomenon, according to a senior Chinese
astronomer.
Calculations indicate that the
nine planets of the solar system and the
Earth's moon will form a large
cross next August, with the Earth at the
intersection. This unusual astronomical
event has been interpreted by some
mystics as a symbol of the end
of the world. Zhao Junliang, director of
the Shanghai Observatory, said
this extraordinary phenomenon is caused by
the various revolution cycles of
the nine planets around the sun, and will
not cause any natural disasters,
including earthquakes. The solar system
formed the same cross in 110 B.C.,
and no major natural disasters were
mentioned in historical records,
Zhao said, adding that astronomical
phenomena similar to the leonid
meteor shower in 1998 will also occur in
1999, offering golden opportunities
for astronomical research and
observation." So, how many

World: Asia-Pacific Stones from the skies
8/24/98, (BBC News)-- "Meteors
and comets have been worshipped for
centuries In Turkmenistan, the
fall of two meteorites within a month is
being seen as a holy happening,
causing a flurry of interest in the small
desert state. The latest fell on
a village just over 100 km from the site
of the first, reportedly crashing
through the roof of a house. News of the
second meteorite, which fell at
the end of July, is only just emerging as
villagers refused to report the
incident. They believed the small object
from the skies, weighing about
a kilogramme, to have religious
significance. It has been taken
to the capital, Ashkhabad, for study by
scientists. The second "holy stone"
follows the fall of one of the largest
individual meteorites in history
- weighing 820 kilogrammes - near a
spiritual site in eastern Turkmenistan.
The BBC Central Asia Correspondent,
Louise Hidalgo, says Turkmens hailed
its arrival near the old capital of
the ancient state of Khorezm as
an auspicious event as it coincided with
the sixth anniversary of the election
of their leader, President Niyazov.
Witnesses who saw the meteorite
fall spoke of a bright light and tremendous
noise, and earth tremors which
were felt up to a 100 km away. And the
meteorite, now on show in a museum,
is to be named "leader of the Turkmens"
in honour of the president."

Meteorite Briefly Turns Night Into Day in Australia
8/13/98 (Discovery Online, Earth
Alert) -- "A meteor believed to be the
size of a baseball briefly brightened
the nighttime sky across parts of
Australia's Northern Territory
on Wednesday night, according to a report in
the Australian Associated Press.
The dispatch said the flash was seen at
about 7:30 p.m. from Alice Springs,
in the heart of the country, to
Mornington Island in the Gulf of
Carpentaria, 620 miles (1,000 km) to the
northeast. An astronomy
lecturer at the Northern Territory University,
Dr. Stephen Shanahan, said the
flash was almost certainly part of the
current Perseid meteor shower,
which peaked about the time the fireball was
sighted. He said it was likely
that the meteor, which consists of comet
debris burnt up in the earth's
atmosphere, was likely to have been only the
size of a baseball despite the
intense light it emitted. An officer in
charge of the remote Avon Downs
Police Station, Sergeant Bob Jeffries, said
the flash of light lit up his backyard
like it was daylight. "That's not
bad considering my backyard is
about a million acres," said Jeffries. "I
saw this flash and then felt this
sort of rumble like big trucks or
something, and then it disappeared.""

All praise is due to Allah, the
Creator and Sustainer, and may His choicest
Peace and Blessings be upon His
pious servants, foremost among them Our
Beloved Nabi, Sayyidena Mohammed
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
The Quraan reminds us time and again
that this universe has been created
temporarily and at an appointed
time it will surely be annihilated,
"Everyone thereon will be annihilated
and only the Countenance of your
Mighty and Glorious Sustainer shall
remain." The exact date and time of
this event, termed as Qiyamah,
is known to Allah Alone, "Verily Allah Alone
has the knowledge of the Hour,"
(Quraan). The Quraan and the Hadeeth have
however informed us about various
signs which will occur prior to Qiyaamah
and which will be indicative of
the closeness of the event. It is indeed
very unfortunate to note that despite
having before us the various warnings
and signs regarding Qiyaamah which
have been mentioned by none other than
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam),
and handed down to us via the
authentic of the noble companions,
yet certain people professing to be
Muslims attach no importance whatsoever
to these teachings. Instead, they
show deep interest in the baseless
vague predictions of some Kaafir.
Inaccurate and being capable of
interpreted in various ways these
predicitinos hold no Shari importance.
It was because of this sad state of
affairs which undoubtedly is the
result of weak Imaan, that this book
"SIGNS OF QIYAMAH" has been compiled,
through which, it is hoped that the
noble teachings of Our Belove Nabi
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) are
presented before us so that we
may reform ourselves and attain eternal
bliss.
This extremely sinful servant of
Allah earnestly appeals to the Ulama to
inform him about any errors and
misrepresentations which are found in this
book. It is the dua of this sinner
that may Allah accept this humble effort
and make it a meansof salvation
for himself, his parents, Asatiza,
relatives, and those who assisted
in making this publication possible.
Aameen.

SIGNS OF QIYAMAH

Foreward 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Praise is to Allah Ta'ala, our
Creator and Provider. Salaam on His best
of Rasuls, Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu
Alayhi Wasallam), the Universal
Guide who expounded the Deen-ul-Islam
which provides salvation in this
world, the grave and the Aakhirat.
Blessing be upon the Sahabah (R.A.) who
were living examples displaying
the practicality of our beautiful Shariat.
Man obtains knowledge and information via three basic sources viz.
1. The
five senses.
2. Imagination
and "Aqal" (Intellect).
3. Inner
Illumination (Kashf, Ilham, Wahy).
These are various forms of spiritual
inspirations:
"Wahy" - Divine and protected revelation
that is only granted for the
guidance of mankind through the
Ambiyaa (A.S.) and come in three ways:
1. "Wahy
Qalbi" - related to the heart.
2. "Kalam-Illahi"
- direct speech with Allah Ta'ala.
3. "Wahy
Malaki" - via the angels.
(Faizal Bari p4-8 of Allama Anwar
Shah Kashmiri and Uloom-ul-Qur'an p31-32
of Moulana M. Taqi Osmani).
Further "Wahy" can be divided into two types:
1. Matloo
- often recited (Qur'an).
2. Ghair
Matloo - not often recited (ahadith - Sayings of Rasulullah
(Sallallahu
Alayhi Wasallam)).
Kashf and Illham are two separate
entities. According to Imam Rabbani,
Kashf is termed sensation while
Ilham is closer to intuition. Ilham is more
accurate than Kashaf because the
latter is the lifting of the veil from
something and the former is a direct
inspiration into the heart.
(Faiz-ul-Bari. Vol. 1 p19)
Imam Ghazali (R.A.) states: "Kashf
is bestowed on a pious person who is
steadfast in Zikr. Piety is the
gateway to Zikr and Zikr is gateway to
Kashf" (Ihya-ul-Uloom. vol.3),
whilst it is recorded in Faiz-ul-Bari vol. 1
p17 "What the aulias see through
Kashf and the Ambiya via their insight
while awake, cannot be seen by
others".
However, in relation to dreams,
Fatah-ul-Bari vol.12 p315 reads: "Dreams
can be interpreted in a number
of ways and according to certain rules.
While every human being dreams,
Ilham is vouchsafed only to the virtuous
and chosen few".
Concerning the preditions etc. of
non-believers, Allah Ta'ala says: "Lo!
the devils do inspire their minions"
sura 6 verse 122. This proves that the
devil whispers into their hearts.
Further Allah Ta'ala says: "Shall I
inform you upon whom the devil
descend! They Descend on the evil, sinful
and false ones." Sura 26 verses
221/2. The inspiration of the devil is
confined to those who are steeped
in apostasy, heresy, and shirk.
The simple and fundamental guideline
is: "Every Kashf, Ilham or dream shall
be judged in the light of the Qur'an
and Sunnah and if contrary to the
Qur'an and Sunnah they shall be
rejected."
The Signs of Qiyamat thus form an
integral part of Iman. Rejection of it is
Kufr.
The Signs of Qiyyamat are divided into two sections:
1. Minor:
These are the signs from the birth of Rasulullah (Sallallahu
Alayhi
Wasallam) to the time of the appearance of Hazrat Imam Mahdi.
2. Major:
These are the signs from the appearance of Imam Mahdi to the
Blowing
of the Trumpet.
I have only translated the text of Aalalaat-e-Qiyyamat aur Nuzul-e-Essa -
