People’s Proneness to the Desires of
their Lower Selves


 

A time will come when people’s concerns will be their making their living, their honor will be their possessions and their Qiblah (The term used in reference to the direction Muslims face during salah, the formal worship) will be their women. Their religion will be gold and silver. These are the evil of the people and they will have nothing in God’s sight. (al-Sulami)

 



 

The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) commanded: “One of the signs of the Hour… is to incline to the selfish desires of the lower self… people will abandon their regular prayers and adhere to their lust. (Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 146-147)
