Saudi Prince and Bin Laden Group to build world's tallest towers

[Sinnerman108]

Lol i don't seem to understand what are the arabs gone do with such tall buildings i mean really its just too show off to the world be put in the record books untill some other nations build a taller building then it will be back to square one again its what you call dumb with money.

what did the americans do with New york's sky line ?
why did the Egyptians build the pyramids ?
Why did people of babel build their gardens ?
why did the Mayans build theirs ?

It is human nature, and a sign of accomplishment.

Sahih al-Bukhari, 1:2:47

One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, “What is faith?” Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection.” Then he further asked, “What is Islam?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan.” Then he further asked, “What is Ihsan (perfection)?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you.” Then he further asked, “When will the Hour be established?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of tall buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: “Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour–.” (31. 34) Then that angel (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, “That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion.” Abu ‘Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.

That is exactly what came to my head the moment I read the news. The end of times are truly upon us.

Do not say such nonsense. It may be technically accurate but do not say it nevertheless. I have been to SA. The Arabs consider us Asians little better than domesticated animals.

India Tower in Mumbai 700 meters. Karachi Port Tower Complex - 593 meters.

So maybe there will be a few in 6-10 years.

Bunch of wasters. Insecure and thick all rolled up into one. They should look after their population better.

Better than now?? We already have a reputation of being lazy and stupid because the government takes care of us better than most countries what will happen if they took care of us better.

Besides this is not a government project its a business man project .

Just like you I wish the money would go to building factories and assembly lines but its a private'd company project if the company wants to build one why complain its thier money and it will help put jeddah one of the cities I live in in the world map same h it happened with dubai so all around its advantages out weighs its negatives.

I respect your answer. Im just frustrated at the general mindset at how these idiots spend money. When you say its private capital i become pesamistic as we both know where the money comes from.
btw respect to you
