Second Coming

46. The Situation of Some Muslims

He said: “I swear by God, Who
holds my soul in His hands, that
when that time of fitna comes,
you will turn into snakes rising to
twist each others’ necks.”

(Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi,
p. 386, no. 672)

In this hadith, our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him
peace) calls attention to the disagreement among some Muslims. It in-

dicates that in the End Times, some Muslims having status, rank, and
power will show hostility to each other instead of joining forces. In
other hadiths, our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace)
also draws attention to such threats as jealousy, envy, and hostility –
all of which will be prevalent among Muslims.
.... Fitna will appear from right there, from the place where
Satan’s two horns will rise. Yet you still strike one another’s
neck. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 369, no. 675)
... if you start competing with one another, feeling jealous of
one another, turning your backs or separating and becoming en-
emies of one another. (Sahih Muslim)

A time will come when my people will envy one another, just as
goats do. (al-Hatim)
