as described in the hadith, a long-term embargo was imposed on Iraq
by those same foreign states.

"No measure or dirham will be given to Iraq. No measure or dirham
will be given to Sham, either. No measure or dinar will be given to Egypt.
You will return to where you began," he said, and repeated this three
times. Abu Hurairah's flesh and blood witnessed this. (Muslim, Fitan 33,
(2896); Abu Dawud, Haraj 29, (3035))

The Iraqis will have almost no more weighing devices and no money with
which to buy anything. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Kanz al-Ummal, Qitab al-
Qiyama qism al-Afal, vol. 5, p. 45)

It is significant that the hadiths refer to three countries. Iraq, Syria
and Egypt are three major Middle Eastern countries where conflict is
increasing for a number of reasons. As stated in the hadiths, the
economies of all three countries have been seriously harmed by the
fighting in question. The Iraqi dinar was also demonetarized in the
wake of the invasion. The Egyptian economy has suffered grave harm
following the internal conflict that broke out. In Syria, there is no
longer any economy left to speak of.
As is clear from passages from the Gospel and the hadiths related
from our Prophet (pbuh), the war that began in Iraq and then spread
over a wide part of the Middle East completely matches with all the
descriptions of Armageddon. Armageddon is one of the signs of the
End Times that will take place before the coming of Jesus (pbuh) and
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). All the plans dreamed up prospectively about
Armageddon will be thwarted with the coming of the Mahdi and Je-
sus. The expectation of bloodshed and violence on the part of some

Muslims and Christians who have become supporters of the forces of
the antichrist will all be in vain. The appearance of Jesus will not her-
ald war or bloodshed, but rather the end of war, and peace and pros-
perity for the Middle East and the world.
