Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

According to historians' estimates, communist regimes caused
the deaths of 120 million people during the twentieth century. Most
of them were civilians, not soldiers. Tens of millions of people died
because of the rigid and savage characteristics of communist
regimes. Apart from this, millions of people who were subjected to
atrocities fled their native lands. As a result, they lost all of their
possessions and lands, and lived in constant fear of being arrested
for various political or ideological "crimes" or of being subject to
further atrocities.
However, these supposedly powerful and invincible regimes
began collapsing one after the other in the late 1980s. The pulling
down of the Berlin Wall in 1989 was the most distinctive symbol of
this collapse. Two years later, the Soviet Union, the largest and most
powerful communist state, collapsed, and the Eastern Bloc soon fol-
lowed suit. Other communist regimes collapsed one after the
other. This sudden end of the bi-polar world order that had ex-
isted since the end of the Second World War was totally unex-
pected. Now, a new world order is in the process of coming into
being. The "change of system" mentioned in the hadith thus is
materializing in our own time.
Today, the last ideological and political remnants of com-
munism are disappearing and the world is being cleansed of
this bloody ideology. With the spread of Islamic ethics, the
atrocities, pain, ignorance, and poverty finally will be eradi-
cated, and humanity will attain beauty, wealth, prosperity, and
peace. As a manifestation of His forgiveness and grace, God
will offer humanity an end to darkness, war, massacre, and sor-
row.
