Bismillah Rahman Rahim As the year 2000 A.D. approached and the all the hype with it I started to wonder what will our world would look like in the year 2000 A.H. I have written several Sci-fi short stories on this theme and created several pictures. So here is my vision of the year 2000 A.H. Please put in your constructive comments about the stories and pictures.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Owner of the Day of Judgment,
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.
Show us the straight path,
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
