The Middle East in the end times (Harun Yahya)

The people and events of the End Times -- the final period in the run-up to the Last Day -- have inspired considerable wonder for hundreds of years. Before moving on to the End Times and their features, it will be useful to clarify an important point. These are tidings imparted to Muslims in the Holy Qur'an, that the moral values of Islam will come to rule the world. In one verse, Allah reveals: "Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. 'They worship Me, not associating anything with Me.' Any who are unbelievers after that, such people are deviators." (Surat an-Nur, 55) In addition, a great many authentic hadith also describe in great detail how Islamic moral values will prevail the world, how that dominion will come about, and the position of Muslims before and during that time. From these it appears that there will be great degeneration and corruption prior to the End Times, following which mankind will attain salvation with the ruling of the moral values of Islam. In the first stage of the End Times there will be a huge increase in wars, conflict, killings, moral degeneration, oppression, famine and poverty, and people will ask Allah for a helper, a savior, to free them from the terrible conditions in which they find themselves. In the hadith it is revealed that this awaited savior will be, by Allah's leave, Hazrat Mahdi (as). PRESENTER: Hazrat Mahdi (as) will gather the Islamic world together under a single roof and, together with the Prophet Jesus (as) who will return to Earth a second time, will be a means whereby Islamic moral virtues come to rule the world. By Allah's leave the time when these tidings will come about is close at hand. The way that hundreds of events described as portents of the coming of the Mahdi (as) are taking place one after the other since Hijri 1400, which is the time we are living at the moment, is another obvious indication that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has appeared and began work. In the hadith of our Prophet (saas) a great many features of the End Times are described. There is one special region frequently referred to in the hadith concerning the End Times and the events that will take place during that time; the Middle East. We are told in the hadith and in commentaries by many Islamic scholars that many events that will leave their mark on the course of history will take place in the Middle East in the End Times. The Middle East: A Highly Significant Region throughout the Course of History The Middle East is the general name given to the region containing such countries as Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine and, in part, Turkey. This region has always been of great value, both because of its strategic position and because of the wealth it possesses. For example, the fact that the Middle East holds 65.3%, around two-thirds, of the world's petrol reserves, and 36.1%, or more than a third, of its known natural gas deposits, shows just how materially important the region is. This attractiveness has led to it witnessing many wars, conflicts and power games throughout the course of history. The eyes of the World have been upon some various major cities in this region, generally referred to as the Middle East, in just about all periods of history. One of the most striking instances is Jerusalem. This city, of enormous spiritual importance, has been the scene of many wars and has had many different rulers over the years. In our day Jerusalem is frequently to be found on the world agenda. This city is of enormous importance to the members of all three Abrahamic faiths, giving it an even greater value. Another very important city is Constantinople, or Istanbul as it is known today. It fell to the Ottomans to capture this valuable city that so many states had sought to make their own down the ages. The city remained the centre of the Ottoman administration for around 500 years, and still maintains its importance today with its strategic and geographical position and rich historic and cultural heritage. The positive effects that the Ottoman Empire had on the states of the world are still a matter for discussion today. The fact that the caliphate remained here under the protection of the Ottomans, the flag-bearers of the Islamic world for centuries, endows the city with an even greater importance. In addition, it is revealed in the hadith that the Hazrat Mahdi (as) will conquer Istanbul spiritually and that he will conduct his intellectual struggle in this blessed city. Moreover it is revealed in the hadith, that the holy relics that will be brought out into the open by Mahdi (as) are also in Istanbul
