Because people get scared, they devour these texts. And, oops! It comes true that how much are fooled between us. Those who eat mass communications are misled. Or do you think Allah is announcing the end of the world and the advent of Mehdi and Jesus in the Iranian press or in the Wall Street Journal? Allah is the Best Knower of all. The Signs are there, for sure. But haven't you thought about some of the Signs being manipulated? 

Before we get lost in the apocalyptic world of eschatology, let's sit down and count how many people earns hell of money in these destiny-changing times? Now, don't come with issues who's right and who's terrorist, because it's completely secondary. In general, no one is right and every side perfectly meets all the prescriptions of any standard applied for terrorists. No matter how the fronts are formed, who is attacking, who is defending, who is converted to be fanatic, who is horrified, the point is the fear. It was engineered accurately. In a situation filled with fear, the military industry is booming, peoples purchase weaponry, banks are lending, and the world, which is suffering from a financial recession, may somehow recover from its low point. So, as long as I see human profit in the background, the fulfillment of prophecy today is not probable. Besides, I believe in prophecy and see the trend. But that's just a trend.

I am a believer. My faith binds me only to Allah. I am certain that He will not inform us by the press about the coming of Mehdi who brings justice and the second advent of Jesus, but yet everyone will be aware that the time has come. Gog and Magog's time is here, I see it. This is a time when people can only think in terms of money and interests. Internal cohesions are annulled. I also consider the current state of war as the time of Gog and Magog. If analyzed, even if real or perceived opponents are fighting, the battles are for zones of influence and who knows the outcome? It may have long been agreed upon. Today, only the monetary system is the winner of such a "final clash," everyone else loses. The biggest losers are the Arabs, who are not spoken of while their countries are grinded up and are going to be amortized below zero. Their ability to represent their interest and communication is missing. Those who were thinkers were killed, and the rest joined to one side or the other, continuing the historical tradition of betrayal. Anyway, it pays off. So, for now, I see chaos and this chaos serves earthly interests.

I do not exclude that events also lead to a spiritual change of the world, and then we can declare the end of the world in real. For the time being, I see the coming of the age of the anti-Christ, where the holiest ideas are put on the flags on all sides in order to legitimize the most terrible sins.

In my humble opinion, the spiritual change of the world is not the result of political events, but of an internal need that is ignited in the souls of common people on mass level. So, I do not believe in politically driven changes. And at the level of common people, I do not believe that only Muslim, non-Muslim groups are need to be set up, because Allah does not classify humans accordingly. It doesn't matter who is who in this regard. When the time comes, everyone becomes one to comprehend that this world has been deteriorated and will unite to create a new world. It will be the time of Mehdi and then of Jesus. As long as I see tensions between sects, religions, and ethnicities, it's time for politics. At the time when it becomes conscious at the level of masses where the real enemy is hiding, we will be spiritually matured to deserve a new world. Unfortunately, today we see the Satan hiding in our neighbor, our spouse rather than the one who has established our misery. However, I do not exclude that today's events will lead to such a change in the long run.

O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere. (Quran 2:153) 

It is estimated that 50-70 million people, mostly civilians, died in World War II. Most of them had their principles, so they were fooled. An essential element of any war that meets political needs is the deception on popular level. Today, this is called communication. It is a science to wash your mind in order you should not decide alone what is good and bad. Finally, if you look out the window and see the zombies lining up, don't think so much, rush in and join.

This is not what Allah asks in this verse above. He asks you to rely on Him and if so, those who rely on Him will hold the hands of each other. He doesn't ask Muslims! If He would ask them, it would be very difficult for Allah today to specify that are they Shiites? Sunnis? Within that? Wahabis? Zaidis? Ishmaelites? Jafaris? Malikis? Hanbalis? Hanafis? Shafa’is and thousands off others? Hands are finished, there are no more hands available to shake hands with each other! 

Allah demands perseverance, without specification! So, retreat into your privacy and deepen. Allah will let you know what your business is. Your job is to find peace in Him! Don’t misunderstand! Your duty is not to be opportunist or to enter endlessly in compromise! Because if you need to protect the cause of Allah, then stand up and defend it! Just don't be fooled and you die finally for the cause of man while referring to His cause.
