The Prophet (peace be upon him) Predicted the state of affairs which we are facing today:


Narrated Thawban: The Prophet (peace be upon him) 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 last enervation into your hearts.


Someone asked: What is wahn (enervation). Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him):


He replied: Love of the world and dislike of death.


Abu Dawud Book 37, Number 4284.

We can see this today, where we have wahn in our hearts - when the love of this world has entered our hearts, over the love of the hereafter [i.e. Paradise.] And we see many nations attacking the Muslims from all sides.

Where we have deviated from the religion of Allaah/God Almighty, so we have turned away from establishing Allaah's Just law on the earth. So the oppressors can oppress, and the weak stay poor. This is still taking place in the materialistic world we live in today. This is due to our extreme love for this life, even though the true life for the believers, doers of good is Paradise.
