Revolutions


 

...Fitnahs (tribulation), conflicts, revolutions become legion and people kill one another. People commit suicide and evil pervades all over the world. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi ,p. 482, no. 901)

 

Increase in civil wars and revolutions are among the important information regarding the Hereafter given by our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace). Beginnning by the end of the 20th century, Middle and South American countries such as Salvador and Nicaragua being the foremost, revolutions, coups and counter-coups ravaged all the corners of the world. At the beginning of the 80s, with the strenghtening of the guerilla movements organized in the countryside, conflicts of interests between a group of executive cadres and military leaders turned into a massive conflict and chaos that influenced some 22 million people. The coups in Nicaragua overthrew the Somoza in power and massive uprisings happened in Honduras, El Salvador and Guetemala during which some 15 thousand people lost their lives only in 1982.
