                       Throughout this book, we have examined the situa-
                  tion of the Turkish-Islamic world, the urgent need for cre-
                  ating the Turkish Islamic Union, and the resulting benefits
                  of it for Muslims and other nations alike. As we saw in the
                  previous chapter, recent developments clearly show that

                  the Islamic world is ripe for great and fundamental
                  change. The Qur'an and the hadith literature suggest that
                  the approaching period will be a bright one for the world's
                  Muslims, Allah willing. Setting up the Turkish Islamic
                  Union will speed up the process and begin a new era of
                  plenty and prosperity for humanity in general.
                       The current situation may seem to be very negative at
                  first look, whereas in reality each negative development
                  signals the approach of a blessed period. War, destitution,

                  famine, oppression, and tyranny against Muslims across
                  the world are signs of the End Times foretold by our
                  Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). That
                  all of these events are taking place is also a clear sign that
                  the global rule of Islamic morality is approaching, as
                  prophesized by our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
                  grant him peace) (Allah knows the truth). Therefore, the

                  current situation must not cause Muslims to feel despair
                  and hopelessness; on the contrary, it should motivate them
                  and increase their zeal and excitement. In addition, they
