Corruption that Cause Conflicts Everywhere
The hadiths above mention about corruption, which steadily
spreads in the World and continues for extended periods.
The term "corruption" also means "war, disorder,
quarrel, dispute" as mentioned earlier. Given such
meanings of the word, wars, civil wars and disorder, "which
just spreads to another place from where it stays"
as expressed by the narrative continue unceasingly all over
the World during the current century. In particular, the
twentieth century we have just left behind is remembered
as "the Century of Wars." As for the twenty-first
century we are just in, it again started off with wars and
terror and they still continue unabatedly all over the World.

About 180 million people lost
their life at the wars in the twenty-first century. For
the first time in the history of man, such a huge number
of lives were lost in wars within one century. Again, 165
wars and confrontations took place each causing the death
of minimum 6,000 people.
When we analyze the regions in the World where wars and
civil wars have taken place in the last 25 years, it is
quite possible to see that the World cannot get rid of instances
of corruption, which ends in one place, but yet re-emerges
in another place. Bosnia Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, Bulgaria,
Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Palestine, Israel, North
Korea, Cambodia, Eastern Turkistan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen,
Uganda, Albacka, Ruanda, Mozambique, Angola, Congo, Liberia,
Burundi, Sudan, Lebanon, Argentine, Northern Ireland, El
Salvador, Nicaragua… They are just a few of those countries
beset by wars and civil wars for the last 25 years.
World history is so full of wars but the wars, terrorist
acts and massacres taking place in the twentieth century
and in the beginning of twenty-first centuries differ from
all the other mass killings which ever occurred in World
history so far by so many of their aspects. As earlier mentioned,
the total death toll in all these wars was much more higher
than the total of all the wars. Besides, wars used to remain
regional and contained throughout history, not spreading
from one place to another, so not spreading globally. However,
by the beginning of the twentieth century, these clashes
spread all over the World. There are virtually no countries
not having a war or confrontation or acts of terror in the
previous century.
Another feature that distinguishes the twentieth century
wars from others is the power of weaponry used. Tanks, heavy
cannons, aircrafts are the death machines that appeared
in this century. On the other hand, much more terrible massacres
were suffered as a result of the use of nuclear and chemical
weapons in particular in that century, and with the atomic
bombs thrown down on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
immense damages have been inflicted upon not only those
generations physically undergoing the wars but also one
or more new generations that followed.

Presently, biological warfare
is seen as one of the biggest dangers. As a result, the
bacteria of anthrax sent out to addresses in envelopes by
mail immediately after the September 11 terror attack in
the USA serves an example of this. In October 2001, the
bacteria of anthrax sent out to media and political organizations
caused 10 cases of anthrax, of which two of them were fatal.
As a result, it is highly probable that the specific incidence
of corruption referred to in the hadith as spreading to
many places in the World relates to the wars, confrontations,
disorder and acts of terror, which started in the twentieth
century and continue well into the twenty-first century.
All this may just be the sign of the approaching Golden
Age period, which will be established with Mahdi and the
Prophet Jesus (pbuh), and that we are living at the end
of time.

In Hiroshima
and Nagazaki cities ruined by atom bombs, not
only the victims but also the next generations
suffered the consequences of radiation.
