Degeneration amongst Politicians


 

In the end times there will be cruel rulers, wicked ministers, treacherous judges and lying hodjas. If anyone goes to them, let him not be allied to them, help them or show them the way.'
(Resalatul huruj ul-mahdi, p. 182)

 



 

It is for sure that some chiefs and presidents of states will come who will rule to take (unjustly) what is not given to you (as the poor ones entitled to take) from the state treasure.
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi, p.380, no.697)

 



 

Soon there will appear some chiefs who will confiscate your food and soothe you with lies. They will work, yet what they do will be evil. Their worst attribute is that, they will not be pleased with you until you do not consider their evil as good and confirm their lies. (al-Tabarani)

 



 

One by one, the principles of Islam will be violated and some statesmen will misguide people... (al-Hakim, Mustadrak)

 


One of the important features of the end times is the emergence of ruthless, cruel leaders who lead their peoples to disaster. The 20th century is full of examples of such leaders and rulers. These individuals, who adopted ideologies far removed from the moral values of religion, became notorious both for the cruelties they inflicted and for the sufferings they caused other societies on account of the wars and fighting they caused. Attention is drawn to this situation in the hadith.

The communist dictator of Mao had thousands of citizens killed solely for opposing him, and was responsible for the deaths of millions throughout his regime.

Under the influence of fascist ideology Mussolini led his people to a terrible disaster by dragging his country into World War II.

Mobutu has gone down in history as one of the most ruthless dictators of the African continent.
