The people will soon summon others to attack Muslims, like
eating people who invite others to share their food. This is a
prediction of the Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam about
Muslims. They will be weak towards the end of the world, and
other nations will make an onslaught on them. They will be like
a dish in which the people put their hands from all sides to
eat. This is exactly the present situation of the Muslims.
Thawban reported that the Prophet, sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam
said: "The People will soon summon one another to attack you as
people when eating invite others to share their dish. Someone
asked: Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?
He replied: No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will
be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and
Allah will take fear of you from the breasts of your enemy and
cast Wahn in your hearts. Someone asked: What is Wahn? The
Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam replied: Love of the world
and hatred of death." (Related by Imam Ahmad with strong chains
of narrators, and Abu Dawud).
Love of this world, gaining wealth, sexual desires and dislike
of death are the main factors why nations are summoning one
another to attack Muslims. In history, there have been several
occasions like this. At time, Crusaders intended to overpower
Muslims during the Crusades. Allah sent down His Grace and Help
to Salahuddin al Ayyubi who defeated the Crusaders and freed the
Bait ul Madis Mosque. On another occasion, the Tatars attacked
Muslims and Arabs, but Arabs were triumphant against the Tatars'
deceptions. A third important instance was when the Jews and
Christians collaborated to end the Ottoman Caliphate. And the
final evidence is the endeavour of the Jews and international
Zionist lobbies to create a homeland for Jews in Palestine. By
the Grace and Help of Allah, Muslims will overcome this crisis,
in shaa' Allah.
