Desert Flower: The Dubai Thread.

Recommended Posts

It is official. The tallest building in the world will be built in Dubai. The actual construction work on the Burj tower will begin in January. The concrete and steel tower along with the world's largest mall in Dubai is part of an $8 billion 500-acre project designed to make this tiny emirate a desert beauty and a tourist paradise.

 

Samsung, the giant Korean engineering company, Bisex of Belgium and Arabtec won the contract to build this landmark building.

Dubai is already the home of the only seven-star hotel in the world (burj arab) which is said to have become an overnight success.

These guys are not joking. There's an Emirates company called Nakheel and you should see all the projects they have either going or coming soon.

Underdog you are right. I am aware of atleast more than 40 big projects underway in dubai. It is not a joke. There is nothing like Dubai.

 

lol@Ameenah. Dubai is one place where jobs are plenty. UAE is one country that was always good to the Somalis. The Emir always says, LEAVE THE SOMALIS ALONE. :D

 

I got more pictures of Dubai and I will be updating this thread regularly.

The ruling family of Dubai are trying their best in making sure that they have an alternative source of income (other than oil). They’ve turned that barn desert into a great Oasis. After an absence of 15 years, I went back to Dubai this February and was amazed by the beauty of the city and the great organisation.

 

The photo below is of the “Palm Dubai†project. They’re planning to build houses and villas in that island that is shaped like a palm tree. Many Hollywood celebrities and famous footballers have already reserved their places (David Beckham is one).

 

Ameenah, there are plenty of jobs going. But, the best way to find a cushy job there is to follow the tried and tested Arab custom of “waasta†:D

He(Gibriil) said: “Then tell me about the Hour.â€

He(The Prophet scw) said: “The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner.â€

He said: “Then tell me about its signs.â€

He said: “That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress, and that you will see barefooted, naked destitute shepherds competing in constructing lofty buildings.â€

 

- on the authority of `Umar(ra).

Salaamz,

when I saw these pics, I remember the hadiths,

subhanallah.... :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

Among the signs of the Hour mentioned by the Noble Messenger of

Allah - Allah bless and greet him and his Family and Companions

- as narrated in the Arba'in of Nawawi is the Hadith narrated in

Sahih Muslim: "you shall see the barefoot, naked, indigent

(al-'ala) shepherds compete in building tall structures." Another

version in Sahih Muslim states: "when the naked and barefoot are

the top leaders of the people." A third version in the Sahih

Muslim has: "when you see that the barefoot and naked, the deaf

and dumb are the kings of the earth."

 

Other similar Hadiths not mentioned in the Sahih Muslim nor in

the Arba'in of Nawawi are like the one in Sahih al-Bukhari: "when

the destitute (al-buhm) camelherds compete in building tall

structures." Another version in al-Bukhari has: "when the barefoot

and the naked are the top leaders (lit. "heads") of the people."

 

 

Ibn Hajar said in commenting this passage of the hadith in

Fath al-Bari:

 

It was said that "bear-foot and naked," "deaf and dumb" are their

attributes by way of hyperbole, showing how coarse they are. That

is, they did not use their hearing or sight in anything concerning

their Religion even though they are of perfectly sound senses.

 

The Prophet's (s) words: "The heads of the people" means the kings

of the earth. Abu Farwas' narration names the kings explicitly.

 

What is meant by them is the people of the desert country, as was

made explicit in Sulayman al-Taymi's and other narrations: "Who are

the barefoot and naked?" He answered: "The Bedouin Arabs."

 

Al-Tabarani relates through Abu Hamza, on the authority of Ibn

'Abbas from the Prophet Muhammad (s that "one of the signs of the

change of the Religion is the affectation of eloquence by the

rabble and their betaking to palaces in big cities."

 

Al-Qurtubi said: "What is meant here is the prediction of a reversal

in society wherby the people of the desert country will take over

the conduct of affairs and rule every region by force. They will

become extremely rich and their primary concern will be to erect

tall building and take pride in them. We have witnessed this in

our time as well as the import of the hadith: "The hour will not

rise until the happiest man will be the depraved son of a depraved

father (lukka' ibn lukka')," and also "if the leadership is

entrusted to those unfit for it, then expect the hour," both found

in the authentic collections."

What a waste! typically filthy rich arab sheiks who have no clue how to spend their resources, but always want to please the masters. I bet all these constructions belong to non other than the old great USA?
