“Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the way of a false deity (Taghut). Fight therefore against the friends of Satan; surely the plotting of Satan is ever feeble”(4:76).
The Arabic word Taghut in this verse can be translated in a number of ways and sometimes Allah uses words in the general sense because they apply to a category of things not just something specific. Taughut can refer to idols, a tyrant, or the opponent’s of the Prophet, in a modern context it is used to refer to Tyrants, Dictators and Oppressors, but the essence of it’s meaning is the same whether the Idol, Deity, or Tyrant, because the Tyrant, False deity and Idol are all the same things in relation to man and his nature, all Dictators in essence deify themselves so the people can worship their false idol and just as pharaoh claimed they to claim they are the absolute authority in the land.
The underlying context of the entire Quran is man’s nature, how he behaves, how to treat and cure his character from it’s illness’s and the consequences or impact of mans action’s in life whether good or evil on himself and others.
When man no longer opposes oppression and accepts the tule of a tyrant this can only occur in a society that has accepted the iconic deification of that tyrant. In modern culture this is called icon-ism and the Movie and Music industry use it deliberately to increase the “star” of a Pop or Movie “Idol”. It’s underlaying symptoms come from a specific set of behavior’s Allah has specified in the Quran, Allah said “Have you seen him who chooses, for his god his own lust? (25:43), Allah mentions in the Qur’an three types of “selfs” (Nafs) specifically, these are states that people go through, and occur as a consequence of man’s choices and action’s in life, usually revolving around the things man chooses to enjoy regardless of the consequences they have on his character.
They are “Nafs al Ammara” (12:53), “Nafs al Lowamah” (75:2) and “Nafs al Mutma’ina” (89:27).
Nafs al Ammarah is the commanding and controlling self, it is the self that constantly wants and desires, man’s appetites are out of control dominating his choices.
Nafs al Lowammah is the constant reproaching self, it is the self that is conscious of its own faults, the person is less erratic in his behavior, impulses, and desires are thought about before being followed so the person is more in control of him self then a person who’s self has reached one of the lowest states of humanity, Nafs al Ammarah.
Nafs al Mutmaiin is the secure self, the self at Peace, it is tranquil and has certitude of Allah. Little moves it to want and because of this the avenues that influence a person are greatly decreased, people who achieve this often display wisdom in their judgment.
Allah elsewhere has indirectly mentioned other types of ego, Nafs al Musawwila (12:18, 12:83 and 20:96) this is the lowest state a human can reach, in this stage the Nafs begins to believe in a false reality that it is seeing in order to satisfy its lowly impulses and needs, most murderers, criminals and people with psychopathic behaviour are in this category. The other types are Nafs al Radiya (the contented self), Nafs al Mardiya (the self that is content and gratified with Allah) and Nafs al Safiyya (the perfected self) all are mentioned in verse 89:28.
When society preoccupies it’s self with pleasures and desires, they have chosen their lust as their god, the term god means the thing in the self which man follows, man can profess anything he wants but what he is and what he follows is how he lives and spends his time, if he doesn’t recognize how he spends his time then he is delusional about his own character.
Once an entire society degrades to Nafs al Ammarah they can more easily accept the icon of the tyrant and follow his ways. This is because when man is in control of his self then chivalrous qualities are a natural part of his behaviour, they are a consequence of how he lives his life, this is the fitra (man’s instinct) Allah gave us, and in his self he can not come to accept one of the lowest types of human beings controlling his life, blindly leading him to destruction.
The Ruwaybidah are the degenerates placed over the common man by those who rule to oppress any one with a moral belief because moral people correct what is wrong with the world. This practice has spread around the world to every country adopting western culture and they have moved far past Nafs al Ammarah. They began at Nafs al Ammarah and have gone deep into Nafs al Musawila, a nafs mentioned about the brothers of the Prophet Yusuf (saws) who tried to kill him out of deluded love trying to be the favourites in their fathers eyes, the ruwaybidah degraded themselves completely for the sake of power, influence and lust. They sold themselves and their Akhira (afterlife) for small gains in this life and are oppressors just like the tyrant and will be judged just like him.
“yet still (you) want to turn to unjust tyrants for judgement, although they have been ordered to reject them? Satan wants to lead them far astray” (4:60).
“they rejected their Lord’s signs, disobeyed His messengers, and followed the command of every obstinate tyrant. They were rejected in this life and so they shall be on the Day of Judgement” (11:60-61).
“They asked Allah to decide, and every obstinate tyrant failed– Hell awaits each one; he will be given foul water to drink, which he will try to gulp but scarcely be able to swallow; death will encroach on him from every side, but he will not die; more intense suffering will lie ahead of him” (14:15-18).
The Ruwaibidah practice the occult to control and influence people and in this way they have brought society closer to their view on life, what we see in society today is not a natural transition becouse the beliefs of the majority of people in society it deliberate and subtle indoctrination, the prophet (saws) said: “No, no, the intellects of the general masses at that time will be deceived! They will be following fools (the ruwaibidah) that have no intellects themselves.” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban).
This complete hedonistic and heathen state in Muslim lands the prophet (saws) clearly said would eventuate, Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa.” Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe which they used to worship in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance (Bukhari) this hadith means the people who practice sihr (dark magic) and call upon their shayateen will set up idols for their devils to worship them, it is something Arab society is heading towards because they followed the west into the occult (the lizards hole).
This is something that didn’t come about by accident people are working towards it because it is part of the system of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him).
Allah’s messenger (saws) said “You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizards hole (have a myopic view on life, because they solely relied on the occult), you will follow them.” We asked, “Is it the Jews and Christians?” He (saws) replied, “Who else!” (Bukhari).
The place of sihr (dark magic) in modern society is mentioned in other narration’s by the prophet (saws).
He (saws) also said “Indeed all that I fear over my nation are misguiding Imams (leaders). If the sword is placed in my nation, it will not be raised from them until the Day of Resurrection. And the Hour will not arrive until tribes from my nation betake themselves to the Mushrikeen (non Muslims, Christians etc) and until tribes from my nation worship idols.” (Tirmidhi, Sahih)
Meaning their betaking themselves to the non muslims is what will lead them to worshipping devils because of their occult practices.
Very literally entire portions of Arab society will align themselves with the non muslims and this will lead to entire tribes in the Ummah worshiping idols, because they use sihr (dark magic) calling upon their shayateen (devils) they will leave Islam entirely. Many scholars have spoken about the occult practices of western society here the prophet (saws) is affirming that it will spread to the Arab world and Allah will eventually destroy them for it, killing some and driving others from their homelands.
Death is the punishment in shariah for all people who practice sihr (dark magic), this is unanimous among the madhabs (legal schools) because the Prophet (saws) commanded: “Kill every sorcerer, for this is the punishment ordained by Allah”, the companions went out and killed every one of them right down to street magicians performing tricks, so the matter has no doubt about it.
The prophet (saws) also said “The world will not pass away until the one who enjoys it the most is the depraved son of the depraved.” (Ahmad) people who practice sihr perform depraved acts to empower their shayateen (devils), meaning this will last for generations and the people enjoying the world the most will be the depraved person who comes from a lineage of depraved people.
This state of affairs is today being maintained by the Ruwaybidah as they stop moral people from correcting society, this is why Islam is seen as the last threat, all other religions have been pacified except for ours, they destroy Islam by destroying it in the minds of people attacking it’s symbols in precise attacks by their stooges the salafi’s who control ISIS and al Qaeda, they identify people who stand up against them so they can target them in their own lives forcing them to stay silent, they claim to have conquered the entire Ummah in such a way but their own holy books testify to something entirely different, the destruction of their civilization because they deliberately targeted and oppressed the people of Allah so they can more easily mould future generations of people without moral interruptions.
A society whose state is to permit everything, is ignorant of human nature and how to balance it, Abu Bakr (ra) said “Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile. Knowledge is the life of the mind. When a noble man learns knowledge he becomes humble, [were as] when an ignoble person gains knowledge, he [becomes] conceited. When knowledge is limited – it leads to folly. [But] when knowledge exceeds a certain limit, it leads to exploitation.” The prophet (saws) said towards the end of time the secrets of the earth will reveal themselves to man just like bees follow one another” the secrets of the earth refer to it’s wealth, oil, gold, minerals and metals they will reveal themselves due to advances in science and technology, literally one resource leading to the discovery of another, this has lead to the mass exploitation in society today, it is the reality of Muslim countries adopting a western form of governance, the vilest of people are put in charge to maintain the system, they are corrupt, exploiting and corrupting others in order to benefit placing no value of morality or religion, they want secularise the world because of the degenerate state of religion in their lands even though historically religion was very successful everywhere else in the world.
The prophet (saws) in describing the Ruwaybidah was referring to the general and common affairs of the people and not simply matters of government, meaning they would rule over people’s personal lives and affairs on a local level, things they have no right to rule over in a person’s home, and so they will not simply be the legislators of a country, in other words this system will be a complete state of control over people’s lives, in every facet they will have a say telling people what they can or cant do on a minute level.
It is now common for the legislators to divide the population into smaller ethnic, tribal, religious or sectarian groups and place unofficial people over their affairs in every facet of life, forcing people to go through them to do business, gain any position, employment or education, or even get married, otherwise they will be denied any kind of support in society as they turn organizations and institutions against groups and individuals in order to pressure them into adopting their way of viewing things. This method is being used to place the Ruwaybidah in all positions, further spreading this system while Muslims are forced to either leave their way of life to gain any kind of employment or starve to death.
Because they control and speak about the minute aspects of a persons life they intend that no new generations are raised in an Islamic environment and hence Muslim’s will be weaned of their own religion in this manner rather than having to deal with them through war.
These people use espionage, spying and other methods to subvert anyone that stands out and in this way they claim they are bringing order to the people when in fact it is a form of slavery, this system has now spread around the world as technology makes the private information of people readily available to be exploited against them when the need arises.
With Allah spying and espionage are the ultimate form of treason, and for a Muslim it is one of the Kaba’ir (Major Sins), on par with Murder both in severity and punishment. It is a form of alliance with the disbelievers, the ruling on it range from it being a declaration of disbelief and apostasy to a state of major sinfulness, irrespective of whether one prays or performs Hajj. In nearly all cases the punishment is death and in fact this has been it’s reality in Islam’s history. In our time entire portions of a population are being used for such things in order to subjugate those still practicing their religion, hoping eventually that no one in society will remain who follows Islam except by name, it is because of this Allah has decreed the destruction of the Arabs because they refused to struggle against this.
Allah (subhanahu wa ta`aala) warned us against espionage in the first verse of Surat al-Mumtahinah: “O you who believe! Do not take My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in the truth that has come to you. They have driven the Messenger and yourselves out because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If indeed you had gone out to fight in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, then do not confide your affections to them, I am All-Aware of what you conceal and of what you reveal. Whoever among you does this has surely strayed far from the Straight Path.”
Imam At-Tabari remarked that you must not put yourself in league with your kith and kin, sons or daughters, if they are outside Islam; allying yourself to them and taking them into your hearts, since they could benefit you in no way on the Day of Resurrection, even if they were your closest relations. Those who are mindful of their duty shall enter Paradise and those who deny their obligations and are disobedient shall enter the Fire.
A lengthy hadith mentioned in shia works gives a clear picture of the Ruwaybidah in our time, the prophet (saws) speaking to Salman al farisi (ra) said “I swear to him who holds my life “Oh Salman, at that time will talk (al) ‘Ruwaybidah’.”
Salman asked: “And what is Ruwaybidah? O Messenger of Allah, my father and mother be sacrificed for you.” (the) Holy Prophet (saws) said, “Such persons will talk about public affairs who had not talked in such matter before (these are not the normal type of people one would expect to be in charge and they will govern over matters not normally governed before). Then in a short time, chaos will appear upon the earth, and every nation will think that chaos was only in their land (but it will cover the whole world, this was the exact feeling when muslim countries first adopted western government).”
“They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain. Then the Earth will throw out the pieces of its heart – gold, silver, and other minerals (referring to the river euphrates uncovering a mountain of gold, which is when this fitna of the ruwaibidah will end because their masters have been destroyed by this time)- (then the Holy Prophet (saws) pointed towards the pillars, and said), “like these in size, but on that day neither gold nor silver will be of any benefit to anyone. And this is the meaning of the words of Allah ‘So surely did come its (Qiyamat’s) signs’.”(Bihar-ul-Anwar, Vol. III, the scholars have rightfully said there are many fabricated shia Ahadith but they consider the narrations from salman al farisi (ra) to be amongst the most accurate).
“every nation will think that chaos was only in their land” – These words almost mimic what was perceived in every Muslim country when it initially adopted secular rule not that long ago. Ignorant to the fact muslims had been discussing democratic rule long before the west even heard of the term.
The word Democracy comes from the Greek word “Demokratia”, Demos meaning “the people” and Kratia meaning “Power, rule” initially mentioned in Plato’s republic.
The idea of Democratic rule has been an Islamic one long before the Idea had spread to the modern west and their is nothing in Islamic Law against it and in fact their is an entire chapter in the Quran called “The Consultaion” meaning of the people in government, but secular rule and democratic rule are not the same thing they are two terms referring to separate issues of governance, for example you can be democratic but not secular and secular but not democratic.
Muslim scholars such as Al Farabi (872-950 AD) wrote entire works regarding these matters, in his book called “al madina al fadila”, the Ideal State, he divided the state into categories, first is the ideal muslim state, which is the prophetic state under the guidance of a prophet (saws), then the democratic state, literally using the word “Demokratia” in his book in the 9th century, then comes the dictatorship (oligarchy, monarchy), he then mentions that of all these the best state is the Islamic state in which the prophet or Imam (leader) is a philosopher and a righteous person guided by Allah (swt) followed by the democratic state.
Al farabi in the 9th century explained that the most important principle of democracy to be its freedom, of the six Government types, including tyranny and oligarchy, “the regime of Democracy occupies the privileged position of supplying the most solid and best starting point for the establishment of the virtuous human being.” A Democracy promotes the concept of “rule by the people”, the exact phrase used of al Farabi and copied from him by the west.
Democracy is the last step towards the Ideal state in which Human beings enjoy freedoms were everybody has a role, not because they have to earn money or because of political influence but because this is their human right given to them by Allah. The best of the rulers are the ones who give the upmost freedoms to every individual in the state. And the best human beings are those who use their freedoms to accomplish to the best of their ability.
Al Farabi said “The Democratic city (State) is one in which each one of the citizens is given free rein and left alone to do whatever he likes. Its citizens are equal and their laws say that no man is in any way at all better than any other man…And no one…has any claim to Authority unless he works to enhance their freedom…those who rule them do so by the will of the ruled, and the rulers follow the wishes of the ruled.” (Al Farabi, the Ideal State)
The system of electing rulers to office was used in Islam by the first Four Khalifa’s who were all elected, Islamic rule was only later turned into Dynasties, the word Democracy is mentioned in the Quran by another name meaning the exact same thing, chapter 42 al Shura, the Consultation is a Makkan sura that takes its name from verse 38, were the practice of consultation (shura) regarding who should rule is listed as one characteristic of the Muslim community.
The passages relating to Consultation in fact speak about the same values the west asserts are it’s superior core values;
“Far better and more lasting is what God will give to those who believe and trust in their Lord; who shun great sins and gross indecencies; who forgive when they are angry; respond to their Lord; keep up the prayer; conduct their affairs by mutual consultation; give to others out of what We have provided for them; and defend themselves when they are oppressed. Let harm be requited by an equal harm, though anyone who forgives and puts things right will have his reward from God Himself– He does not like those who do wrong. There is no cause to act against anyone who defends himself after being wronged, but there is cause to act against those who oppress people and transgress in the land against all justice– they will have an agonizing torment– though if a person is patient and forgives, this is one of the greatest things” (Qur’an 42: 36-43).
This aspect of consulting people regarding their rulers is only one part of the modern secular system, but this system is easily manipulated essentially negating any benefits the slogans heralding it’s superiority state, and in fact is what is occurring around the world under the Ruwaybidah.
Simply because people are elected that doesn’t stop the corrupt from helping their friends to be elected, once the entire system is taken over then it is no longer a democracy and the word secular takes on a new meaning, relegating morality so the corrupt can rule as they wish without hindrance.
Al Farabi’s three Principles for Democracy, taken from the Quran and Sunnah, are;
1) Al Musaawa: Equality, All Human Beings are equal.
2) Itq: Liberty or Freedom.
3) La-ikrah: “There is no compulsion in the Deen (Way of Life)” (2:256); Financial and Social Freedom.
These are translated from al Faraby’s work into english as, Equality, Liberty and Freedom of Expression and life, the aim of society is to develop the “virtuous human being” who is conscious of the world and society around him and is given every freedom to perfect his life’s work what ever path he may choose, this is in contrast to what the Ruwaybidah and those who put them in charge aim to achieve in a “secular” society, “Pharaoh behaved arrogantly in the land, and divided the people into groups, seeking to weaken one section (raising another)” (28:4).
The wording in the Hadith “They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain. Then the Earth will throw out the pieces of its heart – gold, silver, and other minerals” is similar to two other Ahadith, the hadith regarding the different type of Governance Islam would be under through out it’s time on earth, and the Ahadith (narration’s) about the Euphrates river uncovering a mountain of gold, an event that will occur after the rule of the ruwaybidah will end, just before the Great wars first begin and the time of the Mahdi (ra).
The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: “The Hour will not come to pass before the river Euphrates dries up to unveil a mountain of gold, over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die [in the fighting], and every man among them will say: ‘Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive’ (to get a share of the wealth)” (Bukhari, Muslim).
The Prophet Mohammad (saws) said: “The Euphrates (River) will recede revealing a mountain of gold and silver. If you are alive (at that time), do not approach it.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan). This is similar to the words “Then the Earth will throw out the pieces of its heart – gold, silver, and other minerals” said to occur after their rule ends, mentioned in the Shia narration.
The Prophet Mohammad (saws) said: ” The time is approaching when the Euphrates (River) will recede revealing a treasure of gold. Whoever is present there should not take away anything from it.” (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim) This is similar to the words “but on that day neither gold nor silver will be of any benefit to anyone. And this is the meaning of the words of Allah ‘So surely did come its signs’.” what the prophet (saws) means by signs is signs of the Hour, this is because the Euphrates river drying up is one of the significant signs of the Hour mentioned in both Islam and Christianity and here the prophet (saws) is affirming that Allah mentioned it in the Quran.
This gives us an indication of when the rule of the ruwaybidah will end because we know from many other Ahadith that the Euphrates river will uncover a mountain of gold before the time of the Mahdi (ra) and the words “They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain” means it will be after the war in Syria ends, which is the time Allah will end the era of dictators that helped establish the ruwaybidah, the prophet (saws) using similar words.
Just as the Prophet (saws) outlined the different dynasties and types of rulers in Islam He (saws) outlined the state of the Muslim Ummah over it’s life time ending with the rule of the ruwaybidah, the lowly people being put in charge over people’s common affairs. The following Ahadith were related when Muslims were still small in number and Islam had not spread yet, Rome and Persia were the Dominant powers of the World, in the hadith the Prophet (saws) outlines how Muslims would treat each other over Islam’s history and ends by identifying the Ruwaybidah;
Abdullah b Amr b. al-As reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: “How would you be, O people when Persia and Rome would be conquered for you? ‘Abd -al-Rahman b. Auf said: We would say as Allah has commanded us and we would express our gratitude to Allah. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Nothing else besides it? You would (in fact) vie with one another (the beginning of Islamic Dynasties), then you would feel jealous (The amassing of wealth), then your relations would be estranged (Muslims have now become kings of the earth) and then you will bear enmity against one another (the era of Dictators), or something to the same effect. Then you would go to the poor emigrants and would make some the masters of the others” (the Ruwaybidah)”. (Muslim)
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “When the treasures of Persia and Rome are opened for you, what kind of people will you be?” “Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf said: “We will say what Allah has commanded us to say.” The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Or something other than that. You will complete with one another, then you will envy one another, then you will turn your backs on one another, then you will hate one another, or something like that. Then you will go to the poor among the Muhajirin (those who migrated from their original lands) and appoint some of them as leaders of others.” (Ibn Majah)
The words going to the emigrants and making them leaders alone don’t indicate what is wrong with that situation for that you need the proper context, because one may think this hadith is a prohibition on making Immigrants leaders among people but when this is cross referenced with other narration’s a larger picture emerges of the situation the prophet (saws) was describing.
The Ruwaybidah were picked from the lowest part of society those who emigrated from their original lands, they were trained in the occult and given authority over people in many cases their own communities in order to oppress them, they are chosen from the Muslim emigrants around the world who had no history in the lands they emigrated to and because of their desperation to establish themselves they are used, manipulated then corrupted into controlling and corrupting others for the wealthy and elite in order to control society and peoples personal lives to a greater extent.
These narration’s are not specifically referring to government it self or politicians, they are referring to the people the officials informaly use on a more local level. These corrupt people then chose like minded personalities to take all positions of authority, effectively stoping any kind of reform for the better, so mankind as the prophet (saws) said was put onto a path of utter chaos.
The prophet (saws) said “There shall come upon people years of deceit in which the liar will be believed, the truthful one disbelieved, the treacherous will be trusted and the trustworthy one considered treacherous” people who do good (Ihsan) will no longer have a place in society and they will be marginalised and isolated.
The following ahadith give a time line of future events as we near the time of the Mahdi (ra), they also specify when the fitna of the ruwaybidah will end.
Ka’b said: “There will be around the Euphrates, near AshSham (Syria) or a little after it, a great assembly (of armies). They will fight each other over wealth, and seven out of every nine will be killed. And that will be after Al-Hadda (blast) and Al-Wahiya (catastrophe) in the month of Ramadan, and after the split resulting in three banners (battalions or armies), each (head of a battalion or army) will seek the kingship (mentioned in other Ahadith) for himself, among them is a man whose name is ‘Abdullah.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
The river Euphrates will uncover it’s treasure but it will be some time after this that the armies will fight each other, the three banners will be the three sons of the Rulers of Saudi Arabia, the blast as ahadith state is an asteroid that will hit the earth and al wahiyah is a major earthquake in the month of ramadan.
The Prophet (saws) said: ‘Three men will be killed at the place were your treasure is (the Kaaba). Each of them will be the son of a Khalifah (ruler), and none of them will get hold of the treasure (the Kaaba). Then black banners will come out of the east…’ If you see him (the Mahdi), go and give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because he is the Khalifah of Allah, the Mahdi.'” (Ibn Majah, Sahih)
The Prophet Mohammad (saws) said: “The Euphrates (River) will recede revealing a mountain of gold and silver. If you are alive (at that time), do not approach it.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan))
Abdullah ibn Al-Haarith said, “I was standing with Ubai ibn Ka’ab in the shade of Hassaan’s high house, and he said, ‘People will continue with their differing necks to seek out the world (an Arabic expression, meaning they will chase materialism). I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah say, ‘The time draws near when the Furaat (Euphrates) will lay bare a mountain of gold. When people will hear about it they will proceed to it, and the one beside it will say, ‘ If we leave the people to take from it, all of it will depart.’ And so they will fight over it, with 99 (people) dying from every 100.’ (Muslim)
Ka’b said: “After two tremors (earthquakes) occur in the month of Ramadan, three individuals from the same Household (family) spring forth (vying for kingship). One of them is vying for it by force, another one asking for it by piety, calmness, and dignity, and the third vying for it by killing and his name is Abdullah. There will be near the Euphrates river a great assembly for battle, were they will fight for the money (wealth or treasures). Seven out of every nine will be killed.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
Abu Huraira said that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ” The fourth Fitna (ad Duhaima) is 18 years, then it clears. Once it clears, the Euphrates will recede revealing a mountain of gold that the Umma (Muslim nation) will fight for it. Seven out of every nine (people fighting for it) will be killed.” (Nuaim ibn Hammad’s Kitab Al-Fitan)
The prophet (saws) said regarding the Ruwaybidah “They will remain in that condition as long as Allah would wish them to remain. Then the Earth will throw out the pieces of its heart – gold, silver, and other minerals”
From these Ahadith it is clear that the fitna of the Ruwaybidah will end just before the Euphrates river uncovers it’s treasure. The Prophet (saws) said regarding the Fitna of the Duhaima “It will last for twelve years, then it will end when it ends, and the Euphrates will have uncovered a mountain of gold. They will fight over it until seven out of every nine are killed.”
In this Hadith the prophet (saws) mentions the fitnah is for 12 years while in the earlier one He (saws) mentioned that it will clear after 18 years, the difference between the two is the phrase “then it will end when it ends” after 12 years have past. In the second hadith He (saws) says it will be for “18 years, then it clears” meaning it’s aftermath will clear completely the 12 years refer to what was occurring in it directly.
The 18 years refers to when the fitna and it’s ramifications will no longer affect the world, while the 12 years refers to the wars and events occurring during it, the wars that resulted from the attack on September the 11th lasted for 12 years, the war in Afghanistan began in October 2001 and the withdrawal of troops began in spring 2013 ending in 2014, keeping in mind the prophet (saws) was referring to the fitna (a totality of events) and not the wars specifically.
If the Euphrates river will uncover it’s Treasure soon after 2019, 18 years after 2001, the fitna of the Ruwaybidah will end within the next 4-5 years (after 2014), this is only implying a time frame for these events and when the war in Syria will end because that is when Allah will return Unity to the Ummah, this unity after the war in Syria will result in Muslims fighting this fitna now dominating society entrenching it in chaos and degradation.
The following Ahadith give a time frame of events right up to the Mahdi (r.a).
The Prophet (saws) said: “Before your treasure (the Kaaba), three will kill each other — all of them are sons of a different caliph but none will be the recipient. Then the Black Banners will appear from the East and they will kill you in a way that has never before been done by a nation.” Thawban, a companion said: ‘Then he said something that I do not remember by heart’ then continued to say that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “If you see him give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because surely he is the Caliph of Allah, the Mahdi. If you see the black flags coming from Khurasan, join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for this is the army of the Caliph, the Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem.” (Ibn Majah, Ahmad,, al-Haakim’s Mustadrak, Al Busiri, Ahmad Nuaym, Ad-Daylami, Abu Nuaym)
The Prophet (saws) said, ‘Three will fight for your treasure (the Ka`bah), each of them the son of a ‘Khaleefah’, it will be rendered to none of them. Then from the direction of the East will emerge black flags. Then they will fight you like they have fought none before.’ Then some words were spoken which I did not remember. He then said, ‘If you see him, give bay`ah (allegiance) to him even if you must crawl over ice. For, verily, he is the ‘Khaleefah’ of Allah, the Mahdi”. (Ibn Maajah, Ahmad, al-Haakim’s Mustadrak Sahih).
Before or just after the Euphrates river uncovers it’s gold the ruler of Saudi Arabia may pass away which will cause three son’s from the rulers of Saudi Arabia to fight for succession of that country. One of them is vying for it by force, another one asking for it by piety, calmness, and dignity, and the third vying for it by killing, but Allah wont grant it to any of them, soon after this the people of Khurasan (Afghanistan) will march across Arabia conquering and killing the Arabs who have all but left off Islamic rule and fallen into degenerate practices, they will march in order to secure and stabilise the region and will continue marching across Arabia until they reach Jerusalem (Israel) conquering it as well.
The Arabs will attempt to give them power and control but they will refuse to accept it saying they will only accept the rule of the Mahdi (ra) who will emerge about six years after this occurs.
The Euphrates drying up and the Army of the Mahdi coming from the east are very significant events because Allah similarly mentioned them in the bible. The Euphrates River is mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Revelation in a prophecy that is understood to occur before Isa (as) returns.
During the great tribulations of the last days, John the companion of Jesus says “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” (rev:16:12), the drying of the Euphrates will prepare the way for the people of the east to march. There will be political instability because three sons from the rulers of Saudi Arabia will fight each other in a civil war for power, none receiving it, Allah will end the rule of the Monarchy after which the country will be under elected leaders, none of whom will be strong, it will during this chaos that the sufyani dictators will emerge from Syria attempting to take control of the region, the people of Afghanistan will respond to this and fight them.
All these events are a judgment by Allah on the ruwaybidah who have taken root in Muslim lands and are after wealth “They will fight each other over wealth, and seven out of every nine will be killed” the system has spread to such an extent that the soldiers will die, themselves believing they will be the recipient of some portion of that wealth, indicating the type of people now prevalent in Islamic lands and their military.
The state the Ruwaybidah system will leave Arab countries in after they are removed from power is highlighted in the following hadith. When the Mahdi (ra) emerges an Army will be sent against him from Sham, this is how Rasul Allah (saws) described the state of the Muslim Arabs at that time and why Allah will send them a miracle to rescue them from that Army; Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: “They would soon seek protection in this House, (the Ka’ba), people who would have nothing to protect themselves in the shape of weapons or the strength of the people. An army would be sent to fight (and kill) them and when they would enter a plain ground the army would be sunk in it”.(Muslim)
Aisha reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) was startled in the state of sleep. We said: Allah’s Messenger, you have done something in the state of your sleep which you never did before,Thereupon he said: Strange it is that some people of my Ummah would attack the House (Ka’ba) (to kill) a person who would belong to the tribe of Quraish (the Mahdi) and he would try to seek protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain ground they would be sunk. We said: Allah’s Messenger, all sorts of people throng the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would be amongst them people who would come with definite designs and those who would come under duress and there would be travellers also, but they would all be destroyed through one (stroke) of destruction. though they would be raised in different states (on the Day of Resurrection). Allah would, however, raise them according to their intention. (Muslim)
This weakness and lack of military strength, weapons and preparedness is also highlighted in another hadith, Abu Huraira (r.a) said “When great wars will occur (around the time of the Mahdi), then Allah will raise an Army from the Non Arabs who will be greater riders and will have better weapons than the Arabs. Allah will support the Deen (Islam) by them”. (Ibn Majah)
The Gulf nations are wealthier than the other muslim nations yet they will be less equipped and almost powerless to defend themselves against an Army sent from Syria which is considered a third world country in comparison to them, this Army from Syria will show they are defenceless and powerless.
Imam Al-Suyuti said regarding the Euphrates river drying up, that it is as “the stopping of water”, the Keban dam stopped the flow of the River Euphrates, and it is now in the process of being dried up because of irrigation and drought.
“Turkey and Syria completed their first dams on the Euphrates – the Keban Dam and the Tabqa Dam, respectively – within one year of each other and filling of the reservoirs commenced in 1975. At the same time, the area was hit by severe drought and river flow toward Iraq was reduced from 15.3 cubic kilometres (3.7 cu mi) in 1973 to 9.4 cubic kilometres (2.3 cu mi) in 1975. This led to an international crisis during which Iraq threatened to bomb the Tabqa Dam. An agreement was eventually reached between Syria and Iraq after intervention by Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union. A similar crisis, although not escalating to the point of military threats, occurred in 1981 when the Keban Dam reservoir had to be refilled after it had been almost emptied to temporarily increase Turkey’s hydroelectricity production. In 1984, Turkey unilaterally declared that it would ensure a flow of at least 500 cubic metres (18,000 cu ft) per second, or 16 cubic kilometres (3.8 cu mi) per year, into Syria, and in 1987 a bilateral treaty to that effect was signed between the two countries. Another bilateral agreement from 1989 between Syria and Iraq settles the amount of water flowing into Iraq at 60 percent of the amount that Syria receives from Turkey. In 2008, Turkey, Syria and Iraq instigated the Joint Trilateral Committee (JTC) on the management of the water in the Tigris–Euphrates basin and on 3 September 2009 a further agreement was signed to this effect. On April 15, 2014, Turkey began to reduce the flow of the Euphrates into Syria and Iraq. The flow was cut off completely on May 16, 2014. The Euphrates river now terminates at the Turkish–Syrian border. This is in violation of an agreement reached in 1987 in which Turkey committed to releasing a minimum of 500 cubic metres (18,000 cu ft) of water per second at the Turkish–Syrian border.”
Scientist using Satellite imagery “found that during a seven-year period beginning in 2003 that parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran along the Tigris and Euphrates river basins lost 117 million acre feet (144 cubic kilometers) of total stored freshwater, the researchers said about 60 percent of the loss is due to “pumping of groundwater from underground reservoirs. The rate was especially striking after the 2007 drought and the demand for freshwater continues to rise.”
The Prophet (saws) said about the Mahdi (ra) “disagreement will occur after the death of a Khaliph, then a person will flee from Madinah to Makkah (the Mahdi). Some of the people in Makkah will come to him and take him out against his will and will give him allegiance (Bayah) between Hajar Aswad (the black stone) and Maqam Ibrahim (near the Kaaba). Then an army from Sham (Syria) will come to attack to him but will be devoured by the earth at the place of Baidah (a flat piece of land next to Madinah facing the direction of Makkah). When the people see this, then the Abdal of Sham (Syria) and Asaeb of Iraq (Abdal & Asaeb are high level pious people, meaning the Saints from Shaam & Iraq) will come and give allegiance to him. Then a person from Quraish will come forward ,whose maternal family will be from Bani Kulaib (a branch of Banu Tamim, referring to the Sufyani who is a warlord, the tribe now ruling Syria is the Bani Kulaib). That person in Makkah (the Mahdi) will send an army towards that Quraishi (the warlord) and will overcome him. This battle will be called the Bath Kulaib and a person is at great loss if he is not present at the distribution of the booty of that Ghazwa (battle). He will distribute the riches and act upon the sunnah of the Prophet (as) and Islam will put its neck on the earth (Islam’s borders and influence will spread again) and he will rule for 9 years on earth.” (Masnad Ahmad, Hadith 6581)
