210.Text 25In Islam, it is said that during the last days of the world,
the human society will begin to show signs of decadence and
disintegration. People will abandon religious practices,
break traditional values, lie, cheat, kill and forget to
fear God. Animals will change their habits and lose their
characte~. Nature will suspend its generosity and become
harsh to all the creatures. In this poem, Sheekh Caaqib
Cabdilaahi asserts that he sees all the ills mentioned, and
even more, in the present-day Islamic society of Somalia.
However, he is not altogether pessimistic, but he hopes that,
with sincerity and belief and with their good fortune, the
Somali people may reach success in this world and in the
next.
