                     44. The Global Pervasiveness of Chaos

                                        and Conflict






                       At a time when the world will be in harj [utter confu-
                       sion and disorder], fitna will appear, people will be at-

                       tacked, the old will not have mercy on the young, and
                        the young will not show respect to the old, God will
                        send someone to eradicate hostility and conquer the
                      castles of perversion, uphold faith in the End Times just

                      as I upheld it formerly, someone who will fill this Earth
                         with justice where violence prevailed before. (Al-
                         Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi
                                     Akhir az-Zaman, p. 12)






                    The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) said:
                    “Fitna will spread after me. Terror and war will rage. Then,
                    there will be greater fitnas. When people will say that the fitna
                    has ended, new rebellions will appear. Until someone from my
                    lineage [the Mahdi] emerges, there will be no home in Arabia
                    into which fitna will not enter and a Muslim to whom fitna will
                    not reach. (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-
                    Muntadhar, p. 147)

                    As these hadiths reveal, such chaos will spread around the
                world. Indeed, many countries have been ruined, either wholly or in
                part, by chaos, war, murder, and terrorism. Every day, hundreds of
