Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
Another portent of the End Times, and thus of the second coming of
Prophet Jesus (pbuh), is that the Iraqi currency will have no value.
This hadith may indicate two situations. One of them is Iraq's eco-
nomic collapse after the Iran-Iraq and the Gulf wars. The Iraqi economy,
faced with such crises, could not recover in the post-war period due to the
embargos imposed by America and the UN. The Iraqi people grew even
poorer, and poverty became a major problem.
Or, it might refer to abolishing the Iraqi currency (dinar) in the post-
war era. With the last war, the rapid loss of the Iraqi currency's value and
the possibility of its being withdrawn from circulation appeared in the
newspapers during 2003.
