                                       Second Coming








                                     42. Revolutions








                           … Fitna, conflict, and revolution be-
                            come legion, and people kill one an-
                             other. People commit suicide, and

                            evil is pervasive all over the world.
                             (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi,
                                       p. 482, no. 901)










                    The growing number of civil wars and revolutions are among
                the important signs of the Hereafter given by our Prophet (may God
                bless him and grant him peace). In the second half of the twentieth
                century, such Central and South American countries as El Salvador
                and Nicaragua, being the foremost, were ravaged by revolutions,
                coups, and counter-coups. At the beginning of the 1980s, with the
                strenghtening of guerilla movements organized in the countryside,

                conflicts of interest between executive cadres and military leaders
                turned into a massive conflict and chaos impacted some 22 million
                people. In Nicaragua, Somoza was overthrown, and massive upris-
                ings took place in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala that led to
                many thousands of people being killed.
