Putting aside the fact that these hadith about tall buildings could have been fabricated, let us consider that people competing on building taller buildings has been going on for a long time, people have been competing about building the biggest, tallest, grandest forever Eg the Egyptian Pyramids, the Erechtheion in Ancient Greece and the Ziggurats that date from the 6th century BC

And Mohammed could read and write. He was also a travelling merchant, he could have read/heard of empires that stretched in Rome, China and Greece and tall monuments already existed in these places during his lifetime.

This doesn't look at all like a prophecy to me thank you very much. It appears to me to be nothing more than a man drawing deductions based on what he'd seen or read of before.

^ It can't because you are not basing your conclusions on fact.

The Prophet (SAW) was illiterate and the tall buildings he spoke of only began to manifest in the late 19th century as skyscrapers. Prior to that, give us any other 2 "competing" skycrapers you know.

It is okay to be ignorant, it only becomes a problem when you insist on displaying it everytime.
Re: Does Islam View the World's Tallest Building in Jeddah As a Sign of End Times? by Nobody: 12:35am On Sep 14, 2013
maclatunji: The Prophet (SAW) was illiterate
No He wasn't. He could read and write.
Muhammad became ill in the year 632 and his
health took a serious turn on a Thursday. It is
reported that Muhammad asked for writing
materials to write a statement
that would
prevent the Muslim nation from going astray
forever. The first person to reply was Umar,
answering that there was no need for the
statement, arguing that Muhammad was ill
and that the Muslims had Alkitaab "Hasabuna
Kitaab Allah (Book of Allah is sufficient for us)".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith_of_the_pen_and_paper

Apart from this hadith where muhammed asked for writing materials, Mohammed was a merchant, a renowned one at that and to be a merchant, one had to have some amount of eductaion to record information about his travels and sales, purchases etc. There was no way he could have been a merchant without any knowledge of how to read and write.

and the tall buildings he spoke of only began to manifest in the late 19th century as skyscrapers. Prior to that, give us any other 2 "competing" skycrapers you know.

I already posted a link to the 6th century
Ziggurats in my first post but I'll post it again
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat

Also the Hagia Sophia in Rome which was 200ft tall and build in the 6th century as well

What's our problem with egyptian pyramids now? Read the hadith again.Among the minor signs of the hour,the Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) said:When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings.And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. [Bukhari ::Book 1::Volume 2:Hadith 47].Are Egyptians or romans shepherds of black camels? Read very well before jumping into conclusion you hear.

And Mohammed could read and write.He was also a travelling merchant, he could have read/heard of empires that stretched in Rome, China and Greece and tall monuments already existed in these places during his lifetime.

This doesn't look at all like a prophecy to me thank you very much.It appears to me to be nothing more than a man drawing deductions based on what he'd seen or read of before.
Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah Al-Ankabout 29:48 -Neither did you (O Muhammad SAW) read any book before it (this Quran),nor did you write any book (whatsoever) with your right hand.In that case,indeed the followers of falsehood might have doubted.
The Prophet(pbuh) was an ummi(Illiterate).How did he knew about tall skyscrapers when he only travelled out of Arabia just twice?.....Peace

What's your point exactly?
I said the hadith doesn't look like a prophecy to me. It looks like Muhammed{Saw} was making deductions about what the future
would look like based on what he'd observed around him at the time. Muhammed could have heard or read of tall buildings existing in prosperous/wealthy nations so he stated that in the future there would be competitions among nations or peoples to build tall buildings. This isn't surprising at all because even during his time there had been competitions among great empires in different parts of the world in building of very tall buildings.

Muhammed could read and write. I posted a link to an hadith where Muhammed requested for writing materials

A narration attributed to Sa'id b. Jubair
reports:
“ from Ibn Abbas that he said: Thursday, and what about Thursday? Then tears began to flow until I saw them on his cheeks as it they were the strings of pearls. He (the narrator)
said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Bring me a shoulder blade and ink-pot (or tablet and inkpot), so that I write for you a document (by following which) you would never go astray. They said: Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) is in the state of unconsciousness. "
Sahih al Bukhari Arabic-English Volume 9 hadith
number 468 and Volume 7 hadith 573


Apart from this incidence, I'd said before that it would have been impossible for a merchant to continue with his trade without any knowledge of how to record his transactions on paper so Muhammed was definitely educated since he was a merchant.

Well,it isn't a must you believe it to be a prophecy.Keep to your perspective.

This is to call the attention of Muslims not to join the bandwagon of "End time things".
That the World would come to an end is a fact, every Muslim must believe in. However the fact that: "Every Soul shall taste death"; is even of greater importance. We all would probably die before the World would come to an end!! so what is the big deal.
Whether we are nearing the end of the world or not, it hardly makes any difference to me; what is important is: What condition would will be on Judgement day

Lastly, we should be careful not to misconstrue the message; the fact that the Prophet (Sallahu Allaihi Wa Salam) said X,Y, Z would happen towards the end of the world doesn't imply that the X, Y, Z is Haram; it just telling us what the condition will be at the time the world is coming to an end.

I can never believe that statement is a prophecy.
I have a brain and I reason with it..

Explained what? What are you talking about for heavens sake? This is what you said before:
lanrexlan: The Prophet(pbuh) was an ummi
(Illiterate).How did he knew about tall
skyscrapers when he only travelled out of
Arabia just twice?
Then to prove to you that he wasn't an ummi, I posted a hadith that shows Muhammed was literate and since he was literate, he could have read about those nations competing in building tall structures.

Besides assuming he didn't read about the tall buildings and assuming he didn't travel to those lands to see them, there was also a possibility that he was told of the nations building tall structures by those who had travelled far and wide and seen those monuments for themselves.
Many possibilities exist dude.
Many possibilities.
