Change of the Systems
In this hadith, our holy Prophet (may God bless him and
grant him peace) foretold that Mahdi would come during a
time when "time will be interrupted." Many scholars
interpret this expression of the hadith as "differentiation
of time," What is meant by "differentiation of
time" in the hadith may be the collapse of the communism,
a regime that ruled over the entire world in the 20th century,
towards the end of the century.
One of the biggest reasons for the bloody wars and massacres,
which had their stamp on the twentieth century is the rule
of the communist ideology which was a product of the materialist
philosophy. This ideology was influential in a great part
of the World extending from Europe and Asia to Southern
America and Africa and many countries were ruled by the
communist regimes for decades or they were the target of
the communist rings. Communism was the reason for the cold
war which continued until the 1990s as well as the most
ruthless assassinations.
Apart from attempting to spread their ideologies by fighting
other countries, the communist regimes applied great oppression
to their subjects and they killed big basses through executions,
mass massacres, heavy conditions at the concentration camps
and scarcities.

bi-polar system of the world that began in 1945
ended by the collapse of the USSR. This was
also considered the beginning of a new world
order.

According to the historians' estimates, the communist regimes
caused the death of 120 million people during the twentieth
century. Most of them were civilians killed by the communist
states in their societies, not the soldiers killed in action
in wars. Tens of millions of people including men and women,
the old aged, infants and children lost their lives just
because of the rigid and savage characteristics of the communist
regimes. Apart from this, millions of people were subjected
to communist atrocities, they were forced to migrate as
a result, their possessions and land were seized and they
constantly lived with fear of being arrested without a crime
or being subject to atrocities unfairly.
However,
these regimes, which were thought to be very powerful and
invincible, began collapsing one after the other, losing
power. The destruction of the Berlin Wall is the most distinctive
symbol of this collapse. 2 years later, the Soviet Union,
which was the biggest and most powerful communist state
in the World, collapsed, with the Eastern Bloc falling to
pieces totally. Various other communist regimes on a geography
extending from Africa to Indochina collapsed one after the
other, "the bi polar World Order", which was the
constant international system in the World since 1945 vanished
and as put by the political commentators, a new World Order
has been established. The "change of system" drawn
attention to by the hadith has thus materialized following
this development which resulted in a most surprising manner.
Today, the last ideological and political remnants of communism
are also disappearing and the World is being cleansed of
this bloody ideology. With the spread of the Islamic ethics,
the atrocities, pain, ignorance and poverty will be eradicated
in the real sense and man will attain beauty, wealth, prosperity
and peace. As a manifestation of his forgiveness and grace
and benevolence after hardship, darkness, wars, massacres
and sorrows, God will offer mankind matchless benefaction.
