Lets face it, there is a 100% chance that Dubai will face a major natural disaster someday. It DOES lie in an earthquake prone region, so that is one possible disaster

they should invest in some anti-gravity propulsion systems that will allow them to liftoff and float to safety

Yeah, Dubai certainly looks 100 years ahead of everyone else.



Wait! Awesome idea:

Mix Tokyo with Dubai. Tokyo's technology (they already have invisibility cloaks, saw it on yahoo), with Dubai's skyline.


It's the freakin' city of the future!

Yes. Apparently, the entire cloak is made of little "TV" screens, and the screens project what's behind you to the cloak up front. Therefore, someone can basically see right through the cloak.

Kind of difficult to explain.



Heck, I can't wait to see when they will invent Glow-in-the-Dark ice cream.

Just imagine the energy that would be saved by having glow in the dark ice-cream bars. You get up in the middle of the night to eat ice cream, and you won't even have to turn on the light!

Would that mean he wouldn't have to turn on the light to go potty in the middle of the night?

lol yea I'll take your word for it(as i don't know) , so i will agree it will probably happen...sometime.

what are they going to do about all the traffic these buildings generate?

Right now traffic is pretty awful as it is. With all the tourists and newcomers settling it.

They're building these sort of trains, like subways, but they're on ground. I'm hoping that reduces some of the traffic insha'allah.

And yeah, a lot of people have had dreams about Dubai/U.A.E in general being flooded by natural disasters. Wa Allahu aa'alam.

Big developments are not the problem. But the problem through out history has been people turning away from Allah when they were given wealth and posession. They became ungrateful to the the one who provided them with the good things and forgot Allah.

When people do not fear Allah and only indulge in worldly pleasure without being grateful to Allah, Allah has every right to distroy such a people. But a worse punishment awaits in the Hereafter. However having said that, if I remember correct, the cities destroyed in the Qur'an are where messengers were sent directly to tell them about the existence of Allah.

Muslims are portrayed often as backwards nations. But Dubai seems to prove otherwise. This is a good thing. The attractions in Dubai and the people it draws are a wonderful opportunity to show people the existence of Allah. Those who are given the authority to run wealthy cities must ensure this duty is being done. They should also ensure Quranic morality prevails. Quranic morality means fair opportunities for all people. Good health care, transport and the like and that charity reaches the poor - also corruption such as drinking, gambling and prostitution are not allowed to breed in society.

Many Muslims who have not grasped the true nature of religion or have not grasped true faith frown upon good-standards of living or wealth readily. We must remember that Prophet Sulaiman was given great wealth, but he rendered his thanks to Allah, though being excessively extravagant is not heedfulness of the Hereafter either.

In short, we must not forget Allah and His religion because of wealth. Rather use the wealth to invite people to Allah.

peace.
