During the end times, the had iths state that Muslim
soci e ties will suf fer from the con flict, war, and injus tice
aimed at them. The con flicts and cli mate of chaos expe -
ri enced in parts of the Islamic world, both now and in
the recent past, as well as the oppres sion that has led
to dic ta to ri al regimes in cer tain Muslim coun tries, are
some of the proofs that this time has begun.

Everyone bow ing (ruqu') and pros trat ing (sajda) them -
selves in prayer will be pun ished. Cruelty, mal ice, and

Prophet Muhammad (saas), blood shed and destruc tion
will be legit i mate.

There will be cal iphs after me, amirs after the cal iphs,
