Second Coming

31. War in the Streets

“Between the Tigris and the Euphrates, a
city will be built where the children of

Abbas will reign. It is called Zawra
[Baghdad]…” “O Rasul al-Akram, the leader
of believers, why is it called Zawra?” “It is
called Zawra because the war surrounds it,

expanding to the borders.”
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi,
p. 426, no. 776)

You do not see for I am seeing the places of turmoil between
your houses as the places of rainfall. (Sahih Muslim;
Doomsday: Portents&Prophecis; p. 84)

Guerilla warfare became widespread in the twentieth century.
The ensuing conflicts often take place in streets and between houses.
The most recent example occurred in Baghdad in 2003. Indeed, the
first hadith above relates that a war will expand to all the corners of
Baghdad. The events of the latest Gulf war and the related news re-
ported by the media confirm the news foretold in the hadiths. (God
knows best.)
