Second Coming

3. A Great Battle between the Tigris and
the Euphrates

There will be a city called Zawra
[Baghdad] between the Tigris and the

Euphrates. There will be a great bat-
tle there. Women will be taken pris-
oner, and men will have their
throats cut like sheep. (Muntakhab

Kanz al-`Ummal, vol. 5, p. 38)

Quite likely, this hadith calls attention to the Iran-Iraq war. As
mentioned above, there were many great clashes between these two
Muslim countries. Heavy bombardments reduced villages, towns,
and cities to rubble. Women, elderly people, and children lost their
lives. The mass graves uncovered after the war
revealed that the casualties were far higher
than anticipated.
