Days of Anarchy and Chaos


 

The Hour will come when violence, bloodshed, and anarchy become common. (Muntakhab Kanzul Ummaal)

 

Anarchy and conflicts were among the most obvious features of the last century. In countless wars, rebels and conflicts a great number of people lost their lives and security and peace became one of the greatest longings of people. The civil wars that never ended in some African countries, rebellions that took place in many countries, the South American countries being the foremost, wars and clashes in South Asia, tensions of the Middle East are only the most obvious examples of this chaos.

This aside, during the last decade, anarchy and terror became widespread over a geography extending from America to Asia; many countries greatly suffered from terrorist attacks. Terror targeted civilians and innocent people and anarchy and chaos drifted people to depression.
