                 Within a cer-
            tain time frame in-
            side this 100-year

            period the moral val-
            ues of Islam will rule
            the whole world and
            the system of the an-
            tichrist that opposes them
            will be entirely eliminated.
            However, following this rise,

            span of the world had passed by his day:
                 Ahmad Ibn Hanbal transmitted in his 'Ilal: FIVE

                 PASSED FROM THIS WORLD. (Al-Muttaqi al-
