                          98. Spread of Cursing and Abuse

                    The End Times is a period of widespread cursing and abuse
                among people. This situation is expressed as follows:





                               In the Last Days, there will be
                                such people, who, when they

                              meet, curse and abuse each other
                                  instead of greeting [with
                              salaam]. (Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti,
                                       Durre-Mansoor)








                          The community of the
                          faithful will be on a favor-
                          able path until they encounter
                          three things: Until goodness disap-
                          pears, until immoral children grow in num-
                          ber, and until essekkarun appears amongst them…
                          They asked what is essekkarun? They answered, a generation
                          that will emerge in the End Times, among whom greetings will
                                     be regarded as vile oaths. (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-
                                          Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-
