“Verily, we were a disgraceful people and Allah honored us with Islam. If we seek honor from anything besides that with which Allah honored us, Allah will disgrace us”
Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A.)
The adherence of this Ummah to its religion and unity is a barrier which prevents its enemies from achieving their aims. No matter what the plots and strength of the enemy, they can never prevail over this Ummah if it is united.
Among the signs of the Hour will be savage attack of the Kaafir nations against the Ummah.
According to the Hadith narrated from Thawbaan, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Soon the nations will call one another to attack you, as diners call one another to the plater”
Someone asked the Prophet (ﷺ), “Will that be because we will be few in number those days?” He replied, “No, those days you will be many, but you will be foam, like the form of the sea. Allah will remove fear and respect from the hearts of your enemies, and He will fill your hearts with Wahn (weakness). “ Someone inquired, “ O Messenger of Allah, what is that Wahn(weakness) ? “ He said, “Love of this world and hatred of death.”
(Abu Dawood)
This happened more than once in the history, when the crusader nations called one another to attack this Ummah, and again when the Tartars conquered the Islamic world. But this prophecy has been fulfilled in the last century in a clearer way, when the crusaders, Jews and atheists agreed to destroy the Islamic Khilafah (caliphate), then they carved up the Muslim lands which had been ruled by the Khalifah and shared them out among themselves, giving control of Palestine to the Jews. The Muslims became more lost than orphans at the feast of mean people. Up until the present day, the forces of evil are co-operating with one another to destroy this Ummah, taking its resources and stealing its wealth and humiliating its men. The Muslim Ummah is humbled and made submissive, and its large numbers are of no help to it.
They are like the foam of the sea, and the reason, as the Messenger (ﷺ) said, is the Wahn- love of this World and hatred of Death.
