Party until you drop -- or rapture

"It is said in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 vers 188 that if people ask you when this impasse is going to come, just tell them we have not been given knowledge of that day." [Dr. Mubashir Mumtaz, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community]

Jews are waiting for their Messiah and Christians are waiting a second coming of Jesus.

One leader in our local Muslim community says the world will end, but no one really knows what day.

" It is said in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 vers 188 that if people ask you when this impasse is going to come, just tell them we have not been given knowledge of that day," said Dr. Mubashir Mumtaz, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The Quran gives perhaps the most d
etailed description of judgment day, which Dr. Mumtaz believes is definitely not May 21st.

" So this is essentially just a reminder that we should live our lives in a way we strive to live it every day. Be good to our neighbors, do good in the name of God," said Dr. Mumtaz.

According to Harold Camping, an 89-year-old retired civil engineer from Oakland, California, who founded an independent ministry, on May 21st, all the good people will be saved and the bad ones will have to stay on earth until the world really ends this fall.

It's a prediction most people are mocking, instead of believing.

" Yeah, I sold all my possessions," said Dan, Harrisburg.

" In celebration of rapture coming, I'm going out with style and party up! Rapture bar crawl ! You can find me at any bar yelling shots with my hands in the air," said Jake Poltz, celebrating Rapture.
