our prophet (pbuh) told us about many signs which will come to happen in the future , many of his prophesys are allrady gone and others not come yet
but what of the stones and trees talking? Is this to be interpreted literally?
We either accept these things as fact or as a metaphor. If you cannot accept it as a fact then it’s a metaphor. As long as it is impossible to accept the facts…
if we interpret (the hadith) metaphorically , then It is not impossible that “the tree and the stone will speak” refers to the advanced scientific instruments that warn you about people.
the Prophet has told us that the time will come when man will talk without using his voice – the cell-phone, the cordless phone. This cordless phone – where did it come from? From the earth. Plastic comes from petroleum. The wires, the iron, and the copper – where do they come from? From the earth. Furthermore, some communication devices are now made of wood.
But isn’t it possible that the tree and stone will actually talk? That the tree itself will talk, and the stone itself will talk?
it has been proven scientifically that the trees and the stones have languages of their own. But we don’t have the ability to invent the instruments that will convey the tree’s voice and the stone’s voice to us.
Science has progressed so much that there are instruments that are placed in gardens. The plant produces certain waves, which are received by the instrument, and the plant says: “I am thirsty, water me, I am sick, heal me.”
so , what this hadeeth meaning to us ? it means to us that the battle will arise beween muslims and jews , and the victory will be for muslims
