well there is canibals lol still they are aroundThis thing makes me laugh. I'm convinced that the people on the Internet who claim to believe it are
A) Misinformed
B) Being ironic*
or
C) Wearing tin-foil hats.
Why arbitrarily isolate this calendar? If the ancient Mayans are right about that date, surely they're right about other things - so why not take into account the civilisation's other behaviours? I mean, the ancient Mayans also practiced human sacrifice. You know, ripping out living people's hearts to offer them to their gods? Do people really think this civilisation is the most reliable source?
*or they might simply be promoting Roland Emmerich's new movie.
^ lol, the fact that makes me think twice about it is, somethings going to happen in the solar system that happens once every 25,000 years, and the last time it happened it was the end of the ice age or something. There's going to 3 eclipses also that year. I don't believe it but remain skeptical due to the 1 in every 25,000 years event. and last time it happened there was a big change or something on the Earth, can't remember now lol.
The Mayans predictions are not based on anything false such as magic or horoscopes or the like of these absurd ways. They were a very intelligent people who used to be great scientists in maths, astronomy and I don't know what else.
And if a cannibal told you the world was going to go through a 'great change' in about three years, would you believe him or her?well there is canibals lol still they are around

As other members have said, we shouldn't be concerning ourselves with the so-called predictions of ancient soothsayers.and the mayans did not say the world will end they said there will be a major change on solar system and it will effect the earth watch the video
7) If indeed the number 1433 is a pointer to the Hijri year 1433AH then every repetition of the above four-word verse maps to four days in the year 1433AH which would be starting on 7 Jan 2012 and ending on 7 Nov 2012, and Allah knows best.
...some poeple say 2012 has been mentioned in quran?
First, actually 1433 Hijri starts in 26th November 2011 (as per your link as well), not January 7th 2012. And regardless of that, based on that it ends on November 14th 2012, the year 1433 will end more than a month before the famous date of December 21, 2012, and therefore the entire chain of deductions and conclusions of the number of verses referring by addition and exclusion and then combination towards 1433 becomes irrelevent.
Second, mathematical miracles in the Quran are numerous, but straightforward and point to direct representation. Like Land is mentioned in relation to Sea in a direct ratio as it is on Earth, or number of times "Day" appears is exactly the same as that of "Night". It is never to be used in such 6-degrees of relations type compilation then addition then connections, and certainly not to point at a time of an event specially the date of judgment day that God specifically said will not be revealed.
Third, it was already discussed here that Mayan civilization did not make such an indication of a doom's day, they merely had a calendar that finished its cycle on that day, and since they disappeared they never bothered increasing it, much like computer world had a calender cycle date that ended in December 1999, and they fixed things a few years before.
Last, it is Islamically forbidden to listen to soothsayers and fortunetellers of the future, and a great sin to do so. It is a lie anyway and will always will be a lie that people or "oracles" know the future.
No one is talking about the end of the world, only 31 events each lasting four days as per chapter 44 Al-Dukhaan.In this specific case, believing that a civilization knew of the end of the World would mean that one is suggesting that the prophet -pbuh- was uninspired and lying when he said that God hid the knowledge of judgment day from all beings, bar none.
Mayan leaders say that the belief that their calendar ends in 2012 is gibberish. If people are telling you different they are making money off of it.

I have seen a few Mayans interviewed on TV the last few weeks because of this stuff and they have all said pretty much the same thing. It seems everyone believes the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 except the Mayans.
