The tallest clocktower in the world | A stark reality of the Prophet's prophecy ﷺ

When Jibreel peace be upon him asked Allah's Messenger concerning the signs of the hour, he ﷺ mentioned among the signs:
((وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ))
“That you find barefooted, destitute goat-herds competing with one another in the construction of magnificent buildings.”
[Reported by Muslim]
NOTE:
Just because something is counted among the signs of the Hour, it doesn't necessarily mean it is bad/haram. However, we fear a time will come where some of the ignorant Muslims will idolise the clocktower as we see them idolising the ka'bah. The signs are already there. From the sheer excitement of some, you'd almost be lead to believe one's 'Umrah is incomplete unless they pose for a selfie with the tower.
Beware of the plots of the devils O Muslims! Bid'ah starts off small before it grows into an ideology...
