إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا﴿99:1﴾
(99:1) When the earth is shaken with her utmost shaking, *1
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا﴿99:2﴾
(99:2) and the earth casts out all the burdens from within her, *2
*2 This same has been expressed in Surah Al-Inshiqaq: 4, thus: "And throws out whatever is within it, and becomes empty." It has several meanings:
.
وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا﴿99:3﴾
(99:3) and man says, "What has befallen her?" *3
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا﴿99:4﴾
(99:4) On that Day shall she relate whatever had happened (on her), *4
SCIENTISTS ARE EXPECTING SEVERE EARTHQUAKES
Melting Ice Sheets Can Cause Earthquakes, Study Finds

As ice sheets melt, they can release pent-up energy and trigger massive earthquakes, according to new study.
Global warming may already be triggering such earthquakes and may cause more in the future as ice continues to melt worldwide, the researchers say.

A series of large earthquakes shook Scandinavia around 10,000 years ago, along faults that are now quiet, the scientists point out.
The timing of each earthquake roughly coincided with the melting of thick ice sheets from the last ice age in those same places.
Researchers had suspected that the melting had triggered these earthquakes by releasing pressure that had built up in Earth's crust.
Now a new study, the first to use sophisticated computer models to simulate how ice sheets would affect the crust in the region, bolsters this scenario.
The study showed that earthquakes are "suppressed in presence of the ice and promoted during melting of the ice," said study leader Andrea Hampel of the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.
Hampel and a colleague had earlier found evidence that the shrinkage of a huge lake at the end of the last ice age had triggered a series of large earthquakes in Utah.
The new study shows this can happen even along faults that are normally quiet and are not prone to slip.
The new research will be published soon in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Ancient Quakes Rocked Scandinavia
The ancient earthquakes marched northward through Scandinavia as ice sheets retreated.

Who can be more irrational than those who say: Design is possible without a designer ??
Re: Is Quranic prediction likely to be fulfilled ??
The melting ice will probably cause earthquakes, but I doubt they will be the end of the world! When the ice age ended, much more ice melted, but the world didn't end then...
I think the ead of the world earthquake is either miraculous or some kind of super verneshot, more likely the former.

Was there so much global warming before ??

Its not really much to look forward too. Sure, good triumphs eventually, but first there's all the evil things to knock you off the straight path. Like the Antichrist, Gog and Magog or the immorality and sin.
Re: Is Quranic prediction likely to be fulfilled ??
YEah especially the Anti-Christ Will be a very Tough test
and maybe the quakes can make people think about the day of Judgement
And btw it already started in China

There's plenty of evidence. Glacial erratics, permafrost features, ice scouring, deposited sediments, rising land etc. Even the article you posted said that Scandinavia used to be covered in ice.

My question was not about ice ages.My question was about global warming.Has global warming like nowadays ever occured before ?

Yes. The eocene thermal maximum, which was caused when a volcano erupted underwater and blew up a ton of hydrocarbons. There were crocodiles at the poles.
Today its similar, but this time mankind is burning the hydrocarbons, not a volcano.

If you look at European history, places like Great Britain used to be much warmer. In fact there were wine vineyards in England during the Middle Ages. It cooled down fairly dramatically though. There have been repeating cycles of warm and cold on the Earth.

Re: Is Quranic prediction likely to be fulfilled ??
the world is near!! am nt looking forward to it, its scary, am nt prepared for death, the signs are clear.. sad to see the muslim youth not caring abt islam, noone is perfect i know, i just wished more had an interest in islam. Feels like theres more bad than good, even amongst the muslims, Allah hu alim, i shuldnt judge, but thats how it feels.
The love for this dunya is hard to resist for some, but i think to myself, yes alot of wrong things are happening, but maybe if they go through these things they may find islam in the end. we all know whats haram and halal, but its hard to follow the halal path for most. Allah hu alim, i pray and hope Allah SWT gives us guidance and unites this ummah, esp our youth. Ameen
Re: Is Quranic prediction likely to be fulfilled ??
oh no not another the end of the world is comming prediction?
so far those doomsayers are 0 and 40,000,000,000.
Let me guess the signs are, war (nothing new), disease (nothing new), natural disaters (nothing new....)

They are warm enough for vineyards today. I've seen grape vines growing in central England, possibly even wild. And the temperature graph for modern climate change is much steeper than the one at the end of the 'Medieval Warm Period' which may have only affected Europe.
