We have to get a birds eye view of the situation to understand it clearly, the world has changed since the time of the prophet (saws) and the prophet in many ahadith was telling us this, but the message has come to us through the minds and understanding of the companions and those who heard it from Him but didn’t witness it themselves hence ahadith are worded according to their own understanding so we need to make an effort to see what they meant.

Before the technological age we could look at what is occurring in one part of the world in isolation because regions did not impact on each other unless an army invaded the lands of other people, but the prophet (saws) himself said in our own time people’s lives would become intertwined mourned the world hence nothing is occurring in isolation any longer.

We have to ask a simple question to get a birds eye view of what seems to be madness on earth today, “If you where the worst shaytan on earth, Iblis (Allah’s curse be upon him) what would you do to get your way”, fulfil the oath you took in front of Allah when He created Adam,  that shaytan would use modern technology to communicate and organise his forces around the world then he would go about bringing in every other evil shaytan and their organizations underneath his umbrella so He could coordinate everything effectively, in fact not only Islam says he did this very but the bible as well.

A number of prophecies mentioned in previous revelations about the Empires that ruled on earth state he has been doing just that from the days of the earliest prophets (as), each time a prophet of Allah was given a vision about the empires of the world they were shown that Iblis (Allah’s curse be upon him) controlled many many of them in those visions, the modern world and it’s super powers are no exception these same prophecies saying the same thing about them, what changed in our life time is his ability to coordinate his effort over large regions of the earth because of technology.

If the world was under one government, or entire regions where under one organization then control over peoples lives would be easier, this effort is called globalization, “when peoples lives become intertwined”, the prophet (saws) said that when we see this occur peoples covenants, their business contracts between each other, would be corrupt so we shouldn’t trust it or them. Business people will try to gain more and more control over the minutest aspects of peoples lives in order to kill all religion, which can only be done if it is destroyed in peoples homes. This in fact is their main driving force which Allah mentioned countless times in prophecies about the end of times, not just in Islam but Christianity and Judaism, the bible explicitly states this intent without any doubt and we see this today with the Ruwaybidah, the corruptors of society, who try to govern private aspects of peoples lives never governed before.

This deliberate effort to rid the world of religion and morality is what occurred after WW1 up to our time when mankind saw a different kind of colonization appear around the world, the domination of peoples cultures and identity that subvertly ended peoples independence and uniqueness.

The prophet (saws) literally said before the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) there would be people who would establish his system on earth for him, they would deliberately pave the way for his arrival, we have to understand the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will use a mixture of both technology and Sihr (the occult) to convert people this is the basis of his system, he is a test and punishment from Allah and Allah only punishes people according to what they have been doing themselves, so everything we know about him is an indication of what the world will look like and is doing before his time, in other words the prophet (saws) was telling us their will be a great number of people on earth using technology and the occult (sihr) to control and manipulate people working towards setting up a system based on the occult and technology.

How would these groups even exist in the first place if there wasn’t entire portions of society practicing occult sihr (Dark Magic) to gain influence and control over the world, simply because mankind has discovered science hasn’t nullified the existence of Sihr, Allah himself created it and it is clearly mentioned in the Quran a number of times, they are now rather mixing the two together to gain greater control over people.

The Messenger of Allaah said, “He is not of us, the one who (looks for) evil omens, or the one on whose behalf they are sought (omens are spiritual signs, information, from the unseen used against people), or the one who practices soothsaying (foretelling), or the one on whose behalf it is practiced; or the one who practices sorcery (Dark Magic), or the one for whom sorcery is done.” (At-Tabaraanee)

The Prophet (saws) commanded: “Kill every sorcerer, for this is the punishment ordained by Allah.”

Allah said “And they followed

[instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, (by) teaching people Dark magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing Dark magic].” And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife [in other words dark magic is real]. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them (the Sahir is in a state of loss in his life). But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic (practiced it or had it practiced for them) would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.” (the extent of their loss in this life and the next) (2:102)

From what modern scholars have already said and we can see in their corporate symbolism (logo’s) much of western society is based on the occult, we only need to look at the logo’s of the largest corporations on earth to see what occult activities they are involved in because we can identify where the symbol came from in the ancient world and what it meant to those civilizations, it shouldn’t be surprising for example that three of the worlds largest fashion companies use the vesica piscis as the basis for their logo, this symbol represented the kind of Sihr (dark magic) related to sexual deviancy and empowerment, in others influence and control over people through sexuality.

We have to remember that when Allah punishes a people he punishes them according to their crimes, so why would Allah punish the entire world with the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), the most evil sahir to exist, who will claim through tricks, lies and dark magic he is a prophet and then Allah himself if mankind wasn’t involved in similar acts before hand, the last piece of this puzzle is the iconism the world’s governments and entertainment industries are using to create movie stars and pop stars, before them this same knowledge was used to create leaders like Hitler, Stalin and the Kennedy’s. The punishment for deliberately enslaving people with these idols and “stars” is the Dajjal’s claim he is god, the biggest false idol in history, we are in the system of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) right now.

The prophet (saws) himself said their would be men who will try to fool the entire world with Deen, the word just means way of life, so He (saws) was warning us that world leaders will fool us new ways of living and that ‘Maskh’ (the stunting of peoples character and intelligence) would be wide spread, maskh is done through sihr (dark magic) and miseducation hence Allah will send the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him) to do likewise Maskh on the entire world and fool it with a new way of life and culture.

In fact in previous scriptures Allah states that this is exactly what the world powers will be practicing on people before the time of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him), they will force a corrupt invented culture on the world and this culture was empowered around the world by Iblis (Allah’s curse be upon him).

We can also illustrate the motivations of people living in our time to do evil with the following example. For the better part of 40 years the USSR (Russia) and the U.S where in a cold war, a war of espionage but both sides fought this war in different ways, while the U.S focused on corrupting Russian agents over time who had ideological motivations to get them to switch over, the USSR eventually realized that since the U.S was a capitalist country it was far easier to bribe people with what ever they wanted, and it was more effective as it turned out, this is over simplifying what occurred, but at the end of this war the USSR was successful in turning agents in some of Americas highest institutions at their highest levels, institutions like the CIA and FBI, much of this has been popularised in our times by hollywood, but it is very clear that capitalism, the culture mentioned in previous scriptures, was created to corrupt people even communist Russia saw western society had destroyed their ideologies and used it against them.

The modern sects in the Islamic world should be viewed as separatist movements and not ideological schools, or reformist groups, because what ever ideology they profess is only lip service to deal with whatever the current situation is in the world for their own gain, and in one hundred years of their existence, they haven’t put forward anything of depth or substance.

So then what are they trying to achieve by separating people from the main body of the Islamic Ummah and increasing their own numbers. The Prophet (saws) warned about this very thing and established what we should do in our time when these people emerge, these narrations spell out who is ultimately right the orthodox madhhabs or the salafi’s and the muslim brotherhood that have spread their tentacles to every muslim country on earth.

He (saws) said “My community will not come together on misguidance”; “You have to follow the congregation for verily Allah will not make the largest group of Muhammad’s community agree on error.”, “Whoever among you wants to be in the middle of Paradise, let him cling to the congregation (largest group)”… “Shaytan is a wolf like the wolf that preys on sheep, taking the isolated and the stray among them; therefore, avoid factionalism and keep to the congregation and the collective and the masjid.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, and whoever dissents from them departs to hell.”, “Allah’s hand is over the group, follow the largest group, for verily whoever dissents from them departs to hell”.

The reality of the situation is garnered by the fact that in western countries these sects like the salafi’s and muslim brotherhood, from which every extremist group recruits from are the same groups that are allowed to hold power over orthodox muslim populations in western countries. They are allowed to practice and preach their twisted version of Islam in these countries freely yet traditional muslims are oppressed until they give up their ethics and only pay an outward lip service to the Deen, this is an entirely engineered situation for the benefit of the west.

There are many examples of western governments showing favouritism to these fringe groups in order to bolster their numbers and split up larger islamic populations, and many reporters are showing that these governments covertly support their false wars against muslims in their own countries, a clear example of this is ISIS in Syria, they are an excellent stooge for western media constantly being supplied with the latest American weapons to maintain their war, is their ideological slogan then “Death to America, but Buy American guns” ?

No these weapons as many muslim officials have stated are flown in by American planes and air dropped to them directly on the battlefield, this isn’t a situation that has developed recently these separatists groups were founded by the west over a hundred years ago when their was still a khalifa to bring it down, what exists today is this same old relationship.

The aim of thess groups is to establish hate in the larger population of the world for anything related to an Islamic Khalifah, the word Khalifah is used to condition people and foster hate for it and Islam, this doesn’t occur by itself this attitude has to be engineered because the Khalifah is simply a form of government like a Republic or Democracy but it hasn’t existed in the world for nearly 100 years so how do people today come to view that it needs to be preempted when they have no experience with it and historically it was the sole force that took Europe out of the dark ages with it’s culture and science.

Why would a Kufar system bent on dominating muslim countries support in their midst the very orthodox people they are trying to dismantle overseas, they don’t, they are not idiots or even being hypocritical in this matter it is the same consistent party line throughout, but it is covered up with a guessing game of whose side these extremists are on that is the only illusion.

These fringe sects are allowed to freely recruit into their groups from the wider muslim youth, they are allowed to work in these countries as citizens, and are allowed to dominate the muslim scene of entire towns so those areas come to be described by their brand of Islam, it isn’t difficult for any western society to dismantle them if they wished but they serve that societies own greater purpose in the end. These false muslims very lives and livelihood in western countries is their reward and why they are doing it, they say they have to eat and live so they don’t care, they are the people about whom the prophet (saws) said ‘they have sold their religion (and Akhira) for a small sum’ in this life.

The prophet (saws) said “There will be migration after migration. The best of the inhabitants of earth will reside where the prophet Ibrahim migrated (Sham).”(Abu Dawuud), the worst people after the prophets (saws) time would be those who emigrated from their lands and are most distant from the lands that Ibrahim (as) emigrated to, and in fact we find the worst kind of muslims and people in western lands, those lands newly discovered and are the most distant from Sham.

When these extremist groups like the salafi’s and muslim brotherhood were dismantled in muslim lands 60 years ago they migrated to western countries and founded the very organizations muslims now rely on in those countries in the wests highest institution’s like the MSA found in every western university, this is all a matter of public record.

Most modern Sunni scholars have established that all these fringe groups are the continuation of the Khawarij, an extremist group that began in the time of the companions which split into 17 smaller groups after their time and propagated their extremism around the muslim world,

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said about the Khawarij, “There will be dissension and division in my nation and a people will come with beautiful words but evil deeds. They recite the Quran but it will not pass beyond their throats (they won’t have faith in it). They will leave the religion as an arrow leaves its target and they will not return until the arrow returns to its notch. They are the worst of the creation. Blessed are those who fight them and are killed by them. They call to the Book of Allah but they have nothing to do with it. Whoever fights them is better to Allah than them.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is their sign?” The Prophet said, “Shaving. (Some will shave their heads some will shave their beards)” (Sunan Abu Dawud)

The first thing we have to realise about this group is that their fate is already decided the prophet clearly saying they will be on the side of the kufar and hypocrites, He (saws) said “Then, the Duhaima Fitna (Dark Black & Cunning trial that catches people off guard will occur) that will not leave anyone without slapping him a slap (testing his faith); if people say it is finished, it stays longer; a man who is in the morning a Mu’min (Believer) by the evening becomes a Kafir (Disbeliever), until people will be divided into two factions: a faction of Iman (belief and religion) without hypocrisy and a faction of hypocrisy without Iman (belief and religion). When this happens (the sorting is finished), expect the Dajjaal that day or the next day’.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Al-Haakim, and Al-Zahabi)

Because “They recite the Quran but it will not pass beyond their throats” and “They will leave the religion as an arrow leaves its target and they will not return” we know they are in the camp of the Hypocrites with Iman (religion or faith) and will be in that state until the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) emerges.

The prophet (saws) also said about them, 1.”They [Khawarij = those outside] transferred the Qur’anic verses meant to refer to unbelievers and made them refer to believers.” 2. “What I most fear in my community is a man who interprets verses of the Qur’an out of context.” 3 “A people will come out at the end of times, immature, foolish and corrupt. They will hold the discourse of the best of creation and recite Qur’an, but it will not go past their throats. They will pass through religion the way an arrow passes through its quarry. If you find them, kill them, for verily whoever kills them will have his reward from Allah the Day of Judgment.” 4. “There will be a huge confusion within my Community (because of these sects spreading it). There will not remain one house of the Arabs except that confusion will enter it. Those who die because of it (by responding toothier false Jihad) are in the fire. The harm of the tongue in it will be greater than that of the sword (during this time because of mass media).” 5. “They are the dogs of the people of Hell.” 6. “Some people will be standing and calling at the gates of hell; whoever responds to their call, they will throw him into the Fire. They will be from our own people [i.e. Arabs] and will speak our language [Arabic]. Should you live to see them, stick to the main body (jama`a) of the Muslims and their leader. (If there is no main body and no leader,) isolate yourself from all these sects, even if you have to eat from the roots of trees until death overcomes you while you are in that state.” (These ahadith are primarily cited from the sahih sita)

The Khawarij are many groups today spread around the world, the original group came from Iraq but since then it has become a sect people join working for the Kufar. When `Ali killed the Khawarij, someone said: “Praise be to Allah Who has brought them down and relieved us from them.” Ali replied: “Verily, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, some of them are still in the loins of men and they have not been born yet, and the last of them will fight on the side of the Antichrist.”

The prophet (saws) said the last of them will fight on the side of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) which is the side of the Kufar today because his system is now set up around the world, very literally the only place the salafi’s, muslim brotherhood and their offshoots around the world are heading is the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

The prophet (saws) said ‘If anyone helps in the murder of a believer—even if with only a few words—he will meet Allah with the words written on his forehead: “hopeless of Allah’s mercy”.’ (Ibn Majah in al-Sunan; al- Rabii in al-Musnad; and al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-kubr)

This hadith also indicates that it is not only financial and numerical assistance that must be denied to terrorists, but according to the expression ‘bi shari kalimatin’ (‘a few words’), speeches or writings which lend support to the enemies of peace are also condemnable and punishable by Allah. This hadith contains a strict warning to those who mastermind these groups and their acts and misinterpret the Quran by brainwashing youth with glad news of Paradise for murdering civilians.

The salafi’s whose offshoot is the muslim brotherhood can be traced through their founder and his teachings to the Hashashin (Assassins). Their exact methods are the same as the Hashashin (Assassins, the word in arabic literally means those who use durgs) of Lebanon who used to brain wash their followers through a drug cocktail and occult practices, they like these modern sects fed their followers drugs or substances without their knowledge to increase the effectiveness of their indoctrination, which is something that is being reported about many ex terrorist’s who leave them, they would catch many of their followers high on drugs or other substances, but publicly these people are meant to represent the holiest of holy people the martyr who embodies the perfect muslim.

These are the same people about which the prophet (saws) said ‘if you go to them they will throw you into Hell’, and in fact these Kufar, so called muslims in western countries will use sihr on any person who isn’t inherently evil or accepts their ways of sihr to delude them into going to Jihad to fight their battles for them.

All this is nothing but a jihad that is manipulated by this sect in those lands, in this way they intend to weed out any devout people in the muslim community just as Allah mentioned in many prophecies, we see this today by their destruction of ancient mosques around the muslim world, even a child understands that Islamic Law is only enforceable in the society that freely adopts it making their heretical beliefs null and void according to Islamic law outside their homeland of egypt which they originated from. In reality this destruction is their forcing their system onto others in the guise of law, they will meet Allah on the day of judgment with the words “hopeless of Allah’s mercy” written on their foreheads.

These people are no longer known as the Khawarij and have taken on many different names throughout history, as the Prophet (saws) described them, they would “kill the people of Islam and leave the idolaters” alone, today they work for them.

They declared Ali b. Abi Talib and Uthman b. Affan disbelievers, as well as those who allied with them. They killed Imam Ali b. Abi Talib believing that it was lawful, they wrote to him saying “All of us have killed your brothers, and we believe that both their blood and your blood are lawful”, the killer of Imam Ali was Abd al- Rahman b. Muljam al-Muradi. He, along with the other Kharijites, were devout in their worship; however, they were grossly ignorant of religious logic and wisdom and abandoned the Sunnah and the community [jamaa], just as we see today these fringe groups all claiming the Main body of the community is the corrupt group in the world and they are the saved sect, all the while the prophet (saws) in over seven narrations commanded that we should stick to the main body of the Muslim Ummah until Isa (as) descends among us at the end of time.

Imam al-Shahrastani said about the false beliefs and ideologies of the Kharijites: “The major factions of the Kharijites are six: al-Azariqa, al-Najdat, al-Ijara, al-Thaaliba, al-Ibadiyya and al-Safriyya. The remaining factions are but offshoots of these. They believe that it is right and obligatory to revolt against the government if it goes against the Sunna (even though the prophet (saws) directly commanded otherwise, the consequences of doing this in Islamic law was apostasy). . . . They are the ones who rebelled against the Commander of the Faithful, Ali (ra), when the process of arbitration (between muslim communities) was underway.”

Jundub bin abd Allah said, ‘When the Kharijites seceded from Ali, he went out in pursuit of them and we went with him. When we reached their troops, we heard a loud recitation of the Quran that sounded like the buzzing of bees. Amongst them were some wearing loin cloths and mantles, and seeing them in that state [of ostensible piety], I had mixed feelings about fighting against them. I stuck my spear into the ground, dismounted from my steed, took off my mantle and spread it out and placed my armour on it. I then took my steed by the reigns and started praying towards my spear [as a barrier]. During my prayer I said, “O Allah! If it is obedience to You to fight these folk, then give me permission to do it; and if it is disobedience, then show me a sign of Your disapproval”. As I was in that state of entreaty, suddenly, Ali ibn Abi Talib came, riding the Prophet’s mule. After he came close to me he said, “O Jundub! Seek refuge with Allah from the evil of doubt!” I then hastened to come closer to him, but he dismounted and began to pray. Suddenly, someone on a galloping horse approached and said, “O Commander of the Faithful!”

Ali said, “What is the matter?” The rider said, “They have all crossed the stream and got away”. I said, “Allah is the Greatest”. Ali said, “They have not crossed it, and will not do it. It is the promise of Allah and His Messenger that they will be killed”. Then he mounted his steed and said, “O Jundub! I shall send someone to them who will recite the Quran to them and invite them to the Book of their Lord and the Sunna of their Prophet (saws). He will not turn to us [to signal the attack] until they shoot arrows at him. O Jundub! Less than ten will be slain amongst us and less than ten will survive amongst them”. Then he said, “So who will take this copy of the Quran to those folk and invite them to the Book of their Lord and the Sunna of their Prophet and get killed and earn Paradise?” No one responded to his call except a young man from Banu Amir bin Sa’sa. Ali said to him, “Take [this copy of the Quran]”. And so the young man took it and Ali said to him, “You will be killed and will not turn to us until they shoot you with arrows”. The young man walked towards the encampment of the folk, carrying a copy of the Quran. When he reached a place where they could hear, one of them shot him with an arrow. He then turned towards us and sat down. Ali then said, “Now attack them”. I killed eight of them with this hand of mine before I prayed the Afternoon Prayer and less than ten amongst us were slain and less than ten amongst them survived’. (Narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Mujam al-awsa,  and cited by al- Haythami in Majma al-zawaid; Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in Fath al-Bari; and al-Shawkani in Nayl al-awtar.)

The prophet (saws) spoke about them at length so we would know them, hence we shouldn’t confuse or have doubt about who these people really are today because even the companions had trouble with this because of the worship of Allah they saw coming from them:

Ali (ra) said, “O people! Indeed, I heard Allah’s Messenger say, ‘There shall be a folk that comes from my Umma and they will recite the Quran—your recitation will not be comparable to theirs, or your prayers or your fasting to theirs. They will recite the Quran and believe it supports them but [in reality] it is against them. Their prayers will not go past their throats, and they shall exit from the religion just as an arrow exits from a hunted game. If only the army who encounters them knew what has been decreed for them upon the tongue of their Prophet, they would rely on it [and stop whatever else they intended for them]…they have shed inviolable blood and raided the people’s belongings. So go forth [against them] in the name of Allah”.’

This hadith clearly says people will come upon them but will not recognize them for who they are and if they did they would view them differently and according to what the prophet (saws) said. This hadith was narrated by Imam Muslim in his Sahih, in the Book of Zakat, under the chapter ‘The Encouragement to Kill the Kharijites’, and Abu Dawuud in al-Sunan in Kittb al-Sunna, the chapter ‘On Fighting the Kharijites’, many other Muhadithun (Scholars) reported this narration as well.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said, ‘At the end of time there shall appear a folk, young in age and foolish. They will speak the words of the best of people [just to mislead others], but their faith will not pass their throats (they won’t have real Islam). They shall pass through Islam just as an arrow passes through a hunted game. Kill them wherever you find them [during war], for the one who kills them will be rewarded on the Day of Resurrection’. (Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet mentioned that the Kharijites would be young in age and use brainwashed youth to carry out their evil designs.

Imam al-Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn Masud in al-Sunan: ‘At the end of time there shall appear a folk, young in age and brainwashed. They will recite the Quran but it will not pass their throats (their faith won’t be real). They will speak the words of the best of people [just to mislead others], but they shall pass through Islam just as an arrow passes through a hunted game’.

The phrases ‘ahdath al-asnan’ (young in age) and ‘sufaha al-ahlam’ (brainwashed) used in the two Ahadith indicate that these Kharijites will be young and brainwashed they will use young brainwashed people for their heinous acts of terrorism. Similarly, the Quran also calls the foolish ‘sufaha’. Allah says, “And do not give the foolish (those ignorant of people’s rights) your wealth that Allah has made a means of support for you”(4:5), in other words don’t allow them to take control of your affairs. Sufaha is the plural of Safeeh and refers to people not able to uphold obligations, it includes the insane and everyone who can’t dispose of his own affairs.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said to Kab ibn Ujrah “O Ka’ab ibn Ujrah, may Allah give us refuge from the rulings of al Sufaha (those who brainwash others). The prophet was asked “O messenger of Allah what is the rulings of al Sufaha? He (saws) said “Rulers who will be after me (at the end of time). They do not follow my guidance, and they do not implement my sunnah. The one who follows their lies, and helps them in their oppression, he is not from me, and I am not from him, and he will not enter my Hawd (paradise). And the one who did not believe their lies, and did no help them in their oppression, he is from me, and I am from him, and he will enter my Hawd. (Sahih Ibn Hibban, al Mustadrak, al Hakim)

The prophet (saws) said regarding those placed in charge “if matters are not in the hands of the the rightful ones (those who can dispose of affairs correctly), wait for the last hour”. The word Sufaha is derived from Safih, which means the worst of people, so if public affairs are placed in the hands of the worst of people like the Khawarij who work for the Ruwaibidah (corruptors of society) mentioned in this hadith as Al Sufaha, the brainwashers, then the prophet (saws) said “wait for the hour”. This isn’t simply a figure of speech wait for the hour means wait for it to be established, or wait for the major events that bring it to begin and it is because of this expression we can date this to our time exactly, the prophet (saws) said about 2012 when this occurred: “If you see Makkah with holes in its mountains, and its buildings reach (or surpass) it’s mountain tops, then the hour has cast its shadow” the hour is established. These sects gained influence around the world after September the 11th with help of the mass media that developed during this time.

Imam Ibn Hajar al-Asqalni said, The Prophet’s statement ‘sufaha al-ahlam’, means that those minds are deficient in intellect.

Imam Badr al-Din al-Ayni said: The phrase, ‘sufaha al-ahlam’, implies ‘mentally deficient are the brainwashed’.

Other scholars also translate ‘sufuha al ahlam’ as empty minds, it’s more accurate to say in our time the ‘Maskh’ these sects empty refers to the fact that their intellects are deliberately deprived and stunted through Sihr, drugs and miseducation, which makes the brainwashing easier.

These explanations by the hadith scholars illustrate that ahdath al-asnan and sufaha al-ahlam are not people who suffer from insanity, but rather they are brainwashed and immature youth deliberately conditioned to act this way, we have to also remember that in Islam any person below the age of 40 is considered a youth.

If we observe the current upsurge of terrorism committed in the name of Islam we will realize that the prophecies of the prophet muhammad (saws) have become a reality, all their dead are in hell and the only way to remain safe from them is to not respond to their call to a false jihad.

Abu Umama reported that the Prophet (saws) said, ‘Glad tidings of Paradise to those who kill them or are killed by them’. (Abu Dawuud)

Abu Umama also reported that the Prophet (saws) said three times, ‘They are the dogs of the Hellfire; they are the dogs of the Hellfire; they are the dogs of the Hellfire’. Then he said, ‘They are the most evil of those slain under the heavens, and the best of those slain are the ones killed by them’, the ones they kill through their suicide attacks.

The Khawarij will continue to appear until the end of time, the last of them fighting on the side of the Dajjaal (Allah’s curse be upon him).

Sharik b. Shihab said, ‘For the longest I was eager to meet a man from the Companions so I could ask him about the Kharijites. Finally, I met Abu Burza during the day of Eid as he was with a group of his associates. I asked him, “Did you ever hear the Messenger of Allah mention the Kharijites?” He replied, “Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah with my own ears and saw him with my own eyes. One time some wealth was brought to the Messenger of Allah, so he apportioned it. He gave to those on his right and those on his left, but he did not give any to those who were behind him. Suddenly, a man stood up behind him and said, “O Muhammad! You have not acted justly in your apportioning”. He was a man of dark complexion with a large head of hair, wearing two white garments. The Messenger of Allah became severely angry and said, “By Allah! You shall not find any after me who is more just than I”. Then he said, “At the end of time there will appear a folk—and this one was from them. They shall recite the Quran but (Emaan in) it will not pass their throats. They shall pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through a hunted game. Their notable feature is shaven heads. They shall continue to appear until the last of them appears with the Anti-Christ [al-Dajjaal]; so you should kill them when you encounter them [in the battlefield]. They are the most evil of the creation”.’ (Ahmad, Nasai, al Bazzar, al Tayalisi).

When the Prophet (saws) said, ‘they shall continue to appear’, he eliminated all possible doubts that the Kharijites would appear only once or cause only one fitnah. The first appearance of the Kharijites was during the reign of our master Ali, this was simply their vanguard. Whenever and wherever they rise, they take up arms against the Muslim states and massacre peaceful citizens, terrorism is their mark of distinction.

Allah b.
