End Game - part 8

 

Adding Context

The signs of the hour or end times is a lengthy discussion. The matter of ad-dajjal is but one of the ten major signs of the end of this world. However, it is important to the decree that there is much plotting and planning, by his minions, for his arrival. There are some questions that may not have been covered here and mostly, because this is but a few pages of information. There are books available on the matter.

The current conflict between Iran and Israel is necessary, especially from the Zionist viewpoint. Israel has been goading Iran from October 7^th 2023. Initially, I thought a “spark” from one of the misguided or intercepted missiles will be accidental if it landed in Arab lands. Perhaps, it may be intentional. The world is starting to tremble at the idea of an expanded war, but already America is preparing its allies for this expanded conflict. The hadith says that there will be a time when the Arabs will be few.

Allah's Messenger ﷺ said: The people would run away from the Dajjal seeking shelter in the mountains. She said: Where would be the Arabs then in that day? He said: They would be small in number. [Muslim]

Are they small in number now? Or will they literally be wiped out. This expanded war will have a devastating impact on the Arabs. Amongst other things, are they thinking about this hadith as a reason not to assist the Palestinians right now? Of course, peace is the better path, but there are people suffering already. The timeframe seems short. But it is mere speculation. The preparation for the antichrist is real, but we place our trust in Allah, because he knows best. The reality is that the world is on downward spiral. War is inevitable because the warmongers have been working non-stop. Their deception is clear for those who dare to see. They profess peace but feed the war machine no end. Now it is the turn for another gulf war. A war where the world will end up engulfed in flames.

The picture looks scarier by the day. For the layman, he must be informed. Iran will not overpower Israel. Their support structure will not allow it to happen. We have seen Iraq decimated under the false pretense that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD). A similar story line is in the making. The question is whether the Arabs will be caught in this crossfire. And if they had to choose sides, then which one? But should they choose sides?

End Game - part 5

 

How long will dajjal’s tyranny last

Time flies. It certainly feels like it. In truth your stay on earth is very short. Dajjal will not be here for very long. Yet his stay will feel like an eternity with all the havoc that he will wreak. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed miracles, by the permission of Allah, but it is not the biggest talking points in Islam and amongst Muslims. We, alhamdulillah, are moved by the message rather than just the miracles. But Dajjal will come with pomp and splendour, performing miracles and magic, and people will be taken in by this. This is what make people tick. Who will then trade the message (call to worship Allah alone) for the illusions presented by dajjal?

 The detail of his stay on earth

Below is part of as lengthy authentic hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah: “ ….He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees.  …”

No doubt, he will come with trickery and deception, and it will be accepted as miracles. The gullible will be duped easily. But it will not stop at those types of people. Therefore, it is best to stay as far as possible away from him, with Madinah and Makkah being the ideal places in which to be. He will move fast, and he will traverse the earth in little time. How will be get rid of Dajjal?

March to the Holy Land - Part 4

 

Arab Land

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ established the Islamic state in Medinah. After his passing, the baton of leadership was given to Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) as the first Caliph of the Muslims. The caliphate expanded far and wide during the reign of Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). He was followed by Uthman and then Ali (Allah be pleased with them). It was after this that the next caliph, Mu’awiyah appointed his son, Yazeed, to succeed him. This gave rise to the Umayyad dynasty. They were eventually ousted and replaced by the Abbasid dynasty. Alongside came the Fatimid dynasty, and, for a short while, the Mamluks. The Ottoman empire was the last to hold the caliphate which was abolished with their demise.

You may have your own view of the Ottoman Empire. The debate is not about the religiosity or the beliefs of the Ottomans. Unless you wish to declare them Non-Muslim, a heavy call, then that argument is different. However, they had the caliphate and that was enough for Muslims. It was the goal of the Western powers and the Czar-led Russia to destroy the Ottoman empire and more importantly, the Caliphate. Their meddling in the affairs of the Ottomans led to Sultan Abdul Hamid II to be deposed. While the Ottomans were already reeling from the constant barrage from these foreign powers, the final blow really was the deposing of Sultan Abdul Hamid. The few years it survived beyond him was largely just the last breathes of the empire. Two things happened then. The Ottomans made the mistake of entering World War I. Having already stirred the flames of rebellion in Arab lands, the Ottomans entering the war gave the British more reason to continue on this path and with greater vigour.

Read into it what you will, but your lineage means nothing by Allah, but rather it is your Allah-consciousness. One of the Arabs who rebelled was Sharif Hussein, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Perhaps rebellion is one thing, but to enter into an alliance with the British and then kill your fellow Muslims, is quite another thing. This is how the Arab states effectively became colonies of the West. Sure, they have independence and sovereignty for all to see, but I will leave it to you to make sense of it, if only looking the current Middle Eastern situation. The few blanks to be filled in: The Sykes Picot agreement took precedence over any agreement that Hussein had with the British. Palestine was lost and placed under British rule for the establishment of a Zionist state. The British also had an arrangement with the Al-Saud family. The result, Sharif Hussein ended up in Trans-Jordan (now Jordan) where his son, Abdullah, was given temporary rule by the British. Sharif’s other son, Faizal, eventually became king of Iraq. Weird story that. Abdul-Aziz bin Saud took over the Hejaz and proclaimed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The bottom line is that the hand that fueled the flames that lead to the demise of the Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate, is very much still exerting influence in that region. Now, going back to the Balfour declaration and the Sykes-Picot agreement, where is the Arab agreement? With whom were these agreements and what exactly did/does it contain?
