By Allah’s leave, technological progress in the End Times will lead to tremendous advances in the field of medicine. All kinds of scientific and technological progress will speed up medical research and again by Allah’s leave, reduce the scope for error, prevent many diseases, make it easier to diagnose illnesses and increase the chances of successful cure.
Our Prophet (saas) notes such advances in the field of medicine in the End Times when Hazrat Mahdi (as) lives in a hadith. He described how diseases that could not be treated in his own time would later be cured:
THE BLIND WILL GET VISION and THE SICK WILL BE CURED in the time of Imam az-Zamaan [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]. Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 51, p. 70 |
In his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] time ... life spans will grow longer. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi'alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 43) |
As well as noting how life expectancy will be prolonged in the End Times, our Prophet (saas) also says that Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will appear in the End Times, will be long-lived like the prophets Adam (as) and Nuh (as):
“Hazrat Mahdi (as) will possess certain characteristics of earlier prophets. Among these is his BEING LONG-LIVED, LIKE THE PROPHET ADAM (AS) AND THE PROPHET NUH (AS).” (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, Ansariyan Publications, collected by: Muhammad Baqr al-Majlisi, Iran-Qum, 2003 p. 217) |
