The Prophet (s) compared preparing for the Day of Judgement with planting a seed and being able to actually know that it is coming. He (s) advised his Ummah to "plant" good deeds in preparation for this Day. In reality, the Muslim Ummah does not realize that the Day of Judgement is near. They take things for granted and often fail to see the many signs all around them. Also, Muslims have, in general, failed to learn lessons from the past. For example, many issues which are labeled as "modern" can be found to have existed at the time of the Sahaba as well. With a focus toward world politics, the Sheikh explains how the Ummah can be more prepared for the Day of Judgement.
