According to our
Prophet, the people of Iraq will be divided into three
groups. One part will join the pillagers. One group
will flee, leaving their families behind. And one
group will fight and kill. Prepare yourselves for
doomsday when you see this. (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr
Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar)
Another sign of the End Times is the division of the Iraqi
people into three. As the hadith relates, some of the Iraqi
people will join the “looters.” Indeed, at the end of the
war, those Iraqis who took advantage of the loss of authority
in the country, engage in looting. In fact, some of the
people made theft, engaged in looting, the acts that can
be defined as “pillaging.” The hadith informs us that some
people would try to escape, and even would not be in a spirit
to think about their families they leave behind. Such news
that appeared in newspapers were striking:
The hadith also tells that some people, on the other hand,
is told to participate in war and being killed. During the
Iraq War of 2003, some Iraqi people got involved in clashes
in which they lost their lives.
"The division of Iraq into three," as is related
in the first part of the hadith, also came true in the physical
sense. after the Gulf War, the Iraqi geography was divided
into three. The formation of the three regions, that is,
the section between the 32th and 36th parallels, the south
of the 32th parallel and the north of the 36th parallel
may well be one of the developments indicated by the hadith.
