A man in Pakistan has gone viral after spending the last two years constructing what he calls a “modern-day Noah’s Ark”, claiming that God warned him of an upcoming global catastrophe set to occur this December.
The man, identified only as Abdul Rahman, 58, from Sindh province, says he received a divine message in a dream instructing him to build a massive wooden vessel to prepare for what he believes will be “a flood greater than the one in the time of Noah.”
Footage circulating online shows Abdul and a small group of helpers tirelessly working under the scorching sun, hammering, sawing, and shaping enormous wooden beams. The unfinished ark already spans more than 100 feet in length, standing tall over his village.
“I don’t expect anyone to believe me,” Abdul told local reporters. “But God spoke to me — He said the world will be wiped clean again. This ark will save those who have faith.”
Neighbors initially mocked him, calling the structure a “giant waste of wood,” but their laughter has slowly turned to curiosity as the ark continues to take shape. Some villagers even started bringing food and supplies, saying, “Just in case he’s right.”
According to Abdul, the warning came during a period of global turmoil, which he interpreted as signs of divine displeasure — rising violence, environmental disasters, and wars spreading across continents. “This world has forgotten mercy and kindness,” he said. “December will be the month when everything changes.”
Local authorities have confirmed that they are aware of the construction but have chosen not to interfere, saying the project poses no safety risk to others. “He’s using his own land and resources,” a government spokesperson said. “We have no reason to stop him.”
Experts, however, have expressed concern for Abdul’s mental health, suggesting his behavior may stem from stress or deep religious conviction during uncertain times. Psychologists note that doomsday predictions often emerge when people feel powerless over global events.
Despite skepticism, thousands of people on social media have praised his determination and faith. “At least he believes in something,” one user commented. “The world could use more people who prepare instead of just complain.” Others were less supportive, calling the act “dangerous fearmongering.”
When asked if he plans to take anyone else aboard, Abdul smiled and said, “Only those who believe. I can’t force anyone — just like Noah couldn’t.”
As December approaches, Abdul and his helpers are racing against time to finish the ark. He insists he’s not seeking fame or fortune — only to follow what he believes is a divine command.
“I’m just doing what I was told,” he said, standing proudly beside the enormous wooden hull. “If the flood comes, I’ll be ready. If it doesn’t, at least I’ll know I obeyed God.”
Whatever happens next, Abdul’s story has captured the imagination of millions, reminding the world that faith — no matter how unconventional — can still move mountains… or in this case, build an ark.
