Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming

29. Chaos in Damascus, Iraq, and Arabia

Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him
peace) said: “There will be such troubles and
calamities that nobody will be able to find a
place of shelter. These woes will move around
Sham, fall upon Iraq, and tie the hands and feet
of the Arabian Peninsula. The community of
Islam will fight against troubles in the steppes.
Nobody will feel any sympathy for them or
even say: “Alas!” As they try to remedy their
woes on the one hand, they will emerge again
on the other.” (Muntakhab Kanz al-`Ummal,
vol. 5, pp. 38-39)

The expression, “The woes will move around Sham, fall upon Iraq”
may well indicate the Second Gulf war in 2003. Before and during this
war, there was always the possibility of extending the war to Syria, al-
though the war remained limited to Iraq.
