When an innocent
child of the community of Muhammad is killed, an angel
from the sky will cry, “God is with him (the Mahdi)
and with those who are with him.” (Muhammad bin Ali
Sabban, Ishafu'r-Raghibin, p. 154)
One of the signs of the End Times is murder of innocent
children. The examples of this are seen in the wars and
conflicts that happened in recent years. Forcing small children
to participate in the civil wars taking place in some African
countries and their merciless murders can be considered
as one of these examples. Another region where children
were targeted is Palestine. Between the years 2002 and 2003,
more than 500 children were shot by the Israeli soldiers
and lost their lives. During the Iraq War, maternity hospitals
were shot where a great many number of children died.
