Islamic Eschatology - Strategic importance!

ISIS And Religious Eschatology
by John Jazwiec
Eschatology is a part of theology concerned with the "end times".

Judaism, Christianity and Islam - the three religions that believe in one god - each have codified "end times" within their holy texts.

Judaism's eschatology is contained within the Book of David and in the Talmud. Christianity's eschatology is contained in the Book of Revelations. Islam's eschatology is contained with the sayings of the Prophet Muhammed in the Koran.

It is impossible to understand the rise of ISIS without religious context.

Without getting into the differences of the two Islamic sects - that would take a longer post - a caliphate is a very powerful term.

Last July, ISIS's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi since 2010, stepped up to a podium at the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in Mosul and announced he was the next caliphate. The last great caliphate was in the 16th century Ottoman Empire. And the last caliphate was eradicated under modern Turkey in the early 20th century.

In order to be a caliphate, within Islamic interpretation, someone must rule a piece of land. Hence ISIS's land grab of parts of Syria and Iraq. Which are roughly the size of the United Kingdom.

The appeal of Muslim ISIS immigration is based on there now being a caliphate-led holy region. It is also based on Islamic eschatology.

Just for context, al Qaeda, was based on a return of a caliphate - not within their life times - and being rooted in modern times, within desperate geography and little regard to Islamic eschatology. 9/11 operative Mohammad Atta spent his last full day of life, shopping at Walmart and eating dinner at Pizza Hut.

While ISIS is now based on a caliphate that is real, "owns land" and is rooted in ancient times and Islamic eschatology. ISIS is not some crazy modern jihadists as they are depicted in the West. Rather they are a carefully considered commitment to returning civilization to a seventh-century legal environment, and ultimately to bringing about the apocalypse.

The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.

Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn’t actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the world to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it.

ISIS closest theologic branch is within the jihadist wing of a branch of Sunnism called Salafism, after the Arabic al salaf al salih, the “pious forefathers.” These forefathers are the Prophet himself and his earliest adherents, whom Salafis honor and emulate as the models for all behavior, including warfare, culture, family life, even medicine.

Denying the holiness of the Koran or the prophecies of Muhammad is straightforward apostasy. Being a Shiite, as most Iraqi Arabs are, meets the standard as well, because the Islamic State regards Shiism as innovation, and to innovate on the Koran is to deny its initial perfection.

That means roughly 200 million Shia are marked for death. So too are the heads of state of every Muslim country, who have elevated man-made law above Sharia by running for office or enforcing laws not made by God.

Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people.

Muslims who call the Islamic State un-Islamic are typically, as the Princeton scholar Bernard Haykel - the leading expert on the group’s theology - says -

“Embarrassed and politically correct, with a cotton-candy view of their own religion” that neglects “what their religion has historically and legally required.” Many denials of the Islamic State’s religious nature, he said, are rooted in an “interfaith-Christian-nonsense tradition".

All Muslims acknowledge that Muhammad’s earliest conquests were not tidy affairs, and that the laws of war passed down in the Koran and in the narrations of the Prophet’s rule were calibrated to fit a turbulent and violent time. In Haykel’s estimation, the fighters of the Islamic State are authentic throwbacks to early Islam and are faithfully reproducing its norms of war. This behavior includes a number of practices that modern Muslims tend to prefer not to acknowledge as integral to their sacred texts. “Slavery, crucifixion, and beheadings are not something that freakish [jihadists] are cherry-picking from the medieval tradition,” Haykel said. Islamic State fighters “are smack in the middle of the medieval tradition and are bringing it wholesale into the present day.”

ISIS has continued to embrace slavery and crucifixion without apology. “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women,” Adnani, the group's spokesman, promised in one of his periodic announcement to the West. “If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market.”

The recent executions can now be viewed within this lens. A Jordanian pilot was an infidel and burned like early Christians. While a group of Egyptian Christian Cops were executed to send a signal to all of Christianity. Pope Francis defended all Christians. Why? Because he knows "Rome" doesn't just mean Roman Catholics. It means all of Christianity.

Even the fate of Iraq's Yazidi - lapsed Muslim women and children - was debated. Were they pagans marked for death? Ultimately they were enslaved instead.

Which brings us back to Islamic eschatology. During the last years of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, the Islamic State’s immediate founding fathers, saw signs of the end times everywhere. Just as Christians have often done long ago and most recently under David Koresh and Jim Jones.

The Islamic State has attached great importance to the Syrian city of Dabiq, near Aleppo. It named its propaganda magazine after the town, and celebrated madly when (at great cost) it conquered Dabiq’s strategically unimportant plains. It is here, the Prophet said, that the armies of Rome will set up their camp. The armies of Islam will meet them, and Dabiq will be Rome’s Waterloo or its Antietam.

Now that it has taken Dabiq, the Islamic State awaits the arrival of an enemy army there, whose defeat will initiate the countdown to the apocalypse.

Even mass killings, when viewed from ISIS's apocalyptical theology, are seen by its followers as mercy killings.

So what does all this mean? First, in order to defeat ISIS, or any enemy, you have to understand the enemy. Second, at heart of its appeal, is the caliphate and Islamic eschatology. Where's the weak link? You can't have a caliphate without having land to own and administer.

That means that every nation in the Middle East, perhaps with US arial support, must eradicate ISIS on the ground. Because ISIS is a threat from Saudi Arabia to Iran, all Gulf nations, which ISIS has marked for death, must put their whole lot in.

Perhaps someday ISIS maybe a imminent threat to the West; but it is a imminent threat to every Middle East country. Now. For two reasons. The first of course is their power and people are threatened. And secondly, an ISIS-controlled Middle East, will almost certainly be met with non-7th century modern bombing from the West and Israel.

An apocalypse for sure. Just not the one pictured by ISIS today.

The author doesn't know what he is going on about.

Anybody informed about the basics of Islam also knows that ISIS is an offspring of Salafism, Wahhabism or Khawarij ideology. These are the same people who turned their back on the holy prophet (PBUH) and even called his justness into question. Something the author ignores to highlight. How can ISIS be Islam when it is the offspring of a group which openly ridiculed the final prophet (PBUH)? Mind you, a last prophet (PBUH) who introduced Islam to the people. To even equate these people with Islam is a mockery and an outright lie.

All Muslims acknowledge that Muhammad’s earliest conquests were not tidy affairs, and that the laws of war passed down in the Koran and in the narrations of the Prophet’s rule were calibrated to fit a turbulent and violent time.

LOL typical Jewish butt hurt. These angry and jealous Jews can't fathom till this day how an Arab could be chosen as the final prophet by his God. It is sour grapes. The same old propaganda BS.

"Islam's eschatology is contained with the sayings of the Prophet Muhammed in the Koran."

No. The Quran is not the sayings of the Arab Prophet (PBUH). Islamic eschatology is not just contained within the Ahadith but the Last Revelation unto Man, the Quran.

"In order to be a caliphate, within Islamic interpretation, someone must rule a piece of land."

No. The ostensible Caliph must excerise operational control over the Hejaz. ISIS do not fulfil this and muliple other criteria by which they miserably fail. I have a feeling that those who have armed ISIS are now working furiously behind the scenes for that pernicious ideology to take control over the Hejaz and replace the Zionist Kingdom. This will allow ISIS more "islamic credibility" in eyes of the Muslim World.

This article is another lame attempt at denigrating Islam by trying to equate Islam with ISIS.

Why don't you give up?

 

[P4K1ST4N]

Islam's eschatology is contained with the sayings of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) in the Koran.

Author of article doesn't even knows the basic difference between Hadith and Qur'an.

 

[TMA]

I will read it after iftar.

Surah Al-Maida Verse 82:

لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۖ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مَوَدَّةً لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّا نَصَارَىٰ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَانًا وَأَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ​

Asad: Thou wilt surely find that, of all people, the most hostile to those who believe [in this divine writ] are the Jews as well as those who are bent on ascribing divinity to aught beside God; and thou wilt surely find that, of all people, they who say, "Behold, we are Christians," come closest to feeling affection for those who believe [in this divine writ]: this is so because there are priests and monks among them, and because these are not given to arrogance. (emphasis added)

The question is where shall Muslims find these Christians?

Utter BS directy from the author's a-hole and each letter smells smithered with juish shyte.

Why don't you give up?

He is jew and jews will never give up until their end, that's the arrival of the Christ when even stones will call "al-yahud o wara'a e"

I used to be indifferent but to me now it feels that perhaps the world is really moving towards that.

lolz defence pk allows this how come when i try to upload sheikh imran videos in past and talk about prophecies i get banned. The rule is simple migrate out of Europe and usa and buy Armour, weopens, horses, farm, off grid communication, water filters, food with long shelf life , night visions, hand dynamo generator, solar, petrol generator, warm clothes, military boots etc survival prepper stuff. reminds me of cain and abel. cain and his descends were to become metal worker and build big cities like nimrod, pharaoh and his brother abel was Shepherd and simple. basically Cain would make things with his hands but abel trust in god to provide.

How the West Came to
Dominate the Whole Wide World?

By Brother: N. Awan

In the 15th century, Christian Europeans began making oceanic voyages of discovery. Very quickly, these voyages led to the outright economic, political and religious domination of the globe. This domination lies at the heart of the problems facing Muslims today.


Why were Europeans the only ones to discover and conquer the world, notwithstanding the Church's lie to them, that the earth was flat and if anyone sailed too far, they would fall into Hell! They were not only inward-looking, illiterate and misguided but oppressed by their clerics who victimised them through inquisitions, witch-hunts and charges of heresies. How was it possible for a society with such characteristics to even dream about discovering, and conquering the world?


The fact is, the very institution that misguided its followers, also sent them on a Naval Crusade in the guise of explorers, traders and colonialists.

Following the destruction of Baghdad in 1258 AD by Christian-backed Mongols, the remaining intellectual Islamic states were in Africa. Africa was home to several Islamic universities, namely Fez, Timbuktu, Jenne and Al-Azhar, with many faculties including Law, Medicine, Grammar, Building, Crafts, Manufacturing and Geography which attracted scholars from all over the Muslim world. Even though, two-thirds of the world's supply of gold came from West Africa during the Middle Ages, more profit was made from the sale of books. Arabic was not only the language of religion and learning, but it was also the language of trade and commerce.

This is not surprising because Islam is a universal religion. Allah (swt) is the Lord of the East, and the West [73:9]. Furthermore, the Last Prophet (saw) was sent to the whole mankind, the Last Message had been delivered and Islam had been completed [5:4]. Muslims were inclined to practice trade, Dawah, Jihad, migration, etc.

In addition, Muslims were sailors, geographers, astronomers and scientists. For example, in 793 AD, Al-Biruni, an Afghan scientist in the Punjab had calculated the earth's circumference and thus, Muslims had ascertained that the earth was round 700 years before the Europeans.

Unlike Christians, Muslims faced few obstacles in spreading Islam throughout the world. When the Church discovered that Muslims from West Africa were actually doing so, they launched the Naval Crusade and the brutal slavery of West Africans.

Many people are under the impression that the primary reason for these events was economics. History books have been written to openly talk about the evils of slavery, racism, economic exploitation, etc.. in order to hide the truth.

Prior to secularism, religion played a dominant role in all civilisations including the Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Europeans and Indians. In fact, it still does so right up to the present day. The concept of secularism is about 200 hundred years old. Thus, all historical events should be interpreted using the religious reference frame, and not the secular, economic, or even geo-political reference frame.

By critically analysing the Kuffar's so called scholarly writings using the Islamic reference frame, we find that they shrewdly attempt to remove, hide or ridicule the role of Muslims in world history. However, they often reveal the very opposite of what was intended. These history books supply the very evidence they thought to suppress or record significant facts of which they were ignorant. Even Shaytan cannot write a book completely devoid of truth

In 1457, the Council of Cardinals met in Holland as a righteous and progressive idea, the enslavement of Africans for the purpose of their conversion to Christianity and exploitation in the labour market as chattel property. This devilish scheme quickly gained the sanctimonious blessing from the Pharaoh (Pope) and became a standard policy of the Catholic Church, and later of the Protestant churches.

A bull of Pharaoh Nicholas V instructed his followers to `attack, subject, and reduce to perpetual slavery the Saracens, Pagans and other enemies of Christ, southward from Cape Bojador and including all the coast of Guinea'.

Having launched inquisitions in France and Italy, the Church extended it to Spain in 1481 to kill or forcibly convert Muslims. On 2nd January 1492, the last Muslim foothold in Spain, Granada was invaded by Christian armies, thus ending about 700 years of Europe's Islamic civilisation.

When Granada fell, the Spanish monarchy appointed Columbus a Genoese seafarer `to go by way of the West to India'. Columbus set sail in the name of the Trinity from the harbour of Palos on 3rd August 1492. He sailed down the West coast of Africa to some outlying islands, then straight across the Atlantic Ocean.

On the very first page of his diary, Columbus describes the humiliating end of the Muslims in Granada. He then goes on to state the objective of his journey to the lands of India to meet the Great Khan, who like his predecessors, had many times appealed to Rome to instruct him in Christianity, to combat the religion of 'Mahomet' and all idolatries and heresies.

He also wrote that he hopes in God to find gold mines and spices in great quantities that within three years, Spain would undertake and organise themselves to go to conquer the Holy Sepulchre, for all the wealth gained in the enterprise should be spent on the conquest of Jerusalem.

By 1500, a number of royal marriages took place linking the Spanish monarchy with that of Hapsburg possessions in Austria, Germany and Holland. Spain became a global empire, stretching from Vienna to Peru! Charles V, who held more than 60 royal titles declared: `in my realm the sun never sets'. The Church which often arranged these royal marriages began to think a universal Christian empire had at last been achieved.

The destruction of Al-Andalus was planned, to ensure that Muslims from Africa could not assist their co-religionists in Europe. With two year's preparation and a papal bull, a Crusade was launched in 1415 against Ceduta, a Muslim stronghold and a trading centre on the African side opposite to Gibraltar. A well armed Portuguese Armada, supported by a contingent of English archers overwhelmed Ceduta within a day.

The Portuguese set out with the intention of uniting the Christian forces of Europe with those of Africa, namely Ethiopia in an all out war against the Muslims and to make their state into a vast African-Indian empire, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and bigger than the continent of Europe. To achieve this the Church had given the Portuguese organisational skills and uninhibited aggressiveness to go forth to conquer and dominate.

The early Portuguese were not traders or private adventurers, but aggressors with a royal commission to conquer territory and promote the spread of Christianity.

In July 1497, Vasco Da Gama set sail from Lisbon. unlike previous Portuguese expeditions, Da Gama continued sailing further down the West coast of Africa and north along the East African coast. With the help of an Arab pilot borrowed from Malindi inmodern Kenya, Da Gama entered the IndOcean and arrived at Calicut in 1498.

A second expedition, consisting of thirteen ships and 1200 soldiers, under the command of Cabral, was despatched in 1500. The sum of his instructions was to begin with preaching, and, if that failed, to proceed to the sharp determination of the sword. On reaching Calicut, Cabral established factories in face of active hostility.

In 502 Da Gama sailed again to the East, with a fleet of twenty vessels and thus began the Crusade, Christianisation, conquest, and `commerce' of Africa and India.

Once Spain and Portugal had been used to establish strategic bases and ports in the Americas, Africa, India and South-East Asia to contain the spread of Islam, skilled and educated Europeans were then needed to hold and expand the frontiers of newly acquired territories and `administer' the resources in these lands, on a scale never seen in history. Their aim was to ensure the social, economic, political, technological, military and spiritual domination of the world by the West to this very day.

To achieve this, the Church created, financed and organised a New Order, in which religious reformation, scientific and economic revolution simultaneously took place, namely Protestantism, modern science and capitalism respectively. The result of this New Order was the displacement of Catholic Spain and Portugal by Protestant France, Holland, Germany, Britain, etc.

However, the foreign policy of the `enlightened and progressive' Protestants was exactly the same as the Catholics, namely the slavery, genocide, theft, Christianisation of non-white, non-Western, non-Christian people, but at increased levels of magnitude and efficiency.

Now, educated Europeans could design and build machines, fight wars using mechanised armaments, obey complex orders given by factory managers and military leaders; seize and `cultivate' resources including people (slavery) and commodities (colonialism), and distribute them around the world as inputs to the factories of the Industrial Revolution or as finished products to the colonies. The globalisation of trade in `stolen goods' was sanitised by the term, Capitalism. The trade was financed by the largest owners of capital, namely the Church and Jews, underpinned by usury, sanitised by the term, 'interest'. As Catholics were taught that indulging in usury was akin to sodomy, the Protestant order was taught no such thing, thereby enabling its global implementation and thus causing so much misery for the masses today. Little wonder that the capitalistic theories of Adam Smith -a Jew- are still popular under neo-colonialism.

When King Henry VIII broke away from the Church, he started building Britain's first Navy. The Protestant British Empire was built on Naval power and ruled one quarter of the world. India was not the jewel in the Crown but the engine of the Empire providing men and materials for the Mother Country. One of the very last countries colonised by Britain was Palestine in 1917, when the British Army General entered Jerusalem declaring: `Today the Crusades have ended'. Soon after, the British Empire started to 'unravel' when nationalists from India demanded independence. Palestine was colonised to protect the route to India. In 1947 Palestine was handed over to the Zionists. The never forgotten objective of the Church, the recapture of Palestine, had finally been achieved.

Having been previously expelled from European countries, the Jews returned under the New Secular Order, to dominate the socio-economic, political and foreign affairs of the Gentiles (non-Jew) by indirectly ruling the Church. In addition, two large Gothic Cathedrals were built, the House of Lords (for clergy, royalty, feudals) and House of Commons and a replica of St. Peter's Basilica -the White House, from where `Democracy' could be practised to freely and democratically elected secular Western governments to continue to fight Islam and Muslims and support the Zionist cause in Palestine in the 20th Century.

For the East, the Church created another Order using Jews like Karl Marx but based on extreme secularism (Communism) to conquer those countries with strong religious values like China and Africa. However, this Order, comparable in result to British Imperialism, ended in failure in Afghanistan

It is the same old Pharaohnic System that was behind the pagan Greek and Roman Empires, following the collapse of Ancient Egypt. The Greek and Roman religion was based on classical myths and legends.

Whatever mutations they go through: Pharaohnic, Greeco-Roman, Catholicism, Renaissance, Protestantism, Colonialism, Secularism, Democracy, Nationalism, Zionism, Communism, Cold War, New World Order, etc. it is still the same old battle between belief and disbelief. Each New Order strengthens them to fight Islam and prepares Palestine for their one-eyed leader.

The battle continues...

Very enlightening.
Gave a different dimension to history.

No. The Quran is not the sayings of the Arab Prophet (PBUH). Islamic eschatology is not just contained within the Ahadith but the Last Revelation unto Man, the Quran...This article is another lame attempt at denigrating Islam by trying to equate Islam with ISIS...Why don't you give up?

Utter BS directy from the author's a-hole and each letter smells smithered with juish shyte.He is jew and jews will never give up until their end -

It's very rude to intentionally mis-spell like you're doing.

And you have to be more specific. Whether the author describes "Islam" correctly or not isn't the issue. It's whether or not he's describing the Al-Qaeda/ISIS ideology correctly. They, not "juish shyte" are the folks engaged in terror and murder.

Well I find all of his writing extremely rude too. All his attempt is to maligne Islam and equate "ISIS=True Islam" while ISIS has nothing to with Islam. It uses the names of Islam but it is brainchild of Israel and USA , not only they have been arming it but the whole guidance is done by CIA and Mossad. Enough evidence is available on internet and that's why US and Israelis were butthurt when honorable Putin announced Russian military intervention.

Quit it with the blame game. If it helps, think of ISIS/Al-Q as not Islam. So answer the question: do you have any argument with the author's analysis of ISIS/Al-Qaeda eschatology or not?

Yes it is wrong. He does not even know the basic difference between Quran and Hadeeth and he is claiming that ISIS is representing true Islam? Why jews have to lie all the time?

Not the issue. The issue is do you think his analysis represents what al-Qaeda/ISIS believes accurately?

Why jews have to lie all the time?

I doubt he's Jewish (the name is Polish Catholic). Do you think you're going to win converts when you are so quick to label ignorant people liars?

Sir, ignorant is something else. He is arrogantly claiming that this in Quran and that's in Hadith and he is drawing a strong conclusion. He is an arrogant rat and by the way I am not in conversion reversion business. If someone reverts that his/her personal decision and not a favour to anyone but to his-/her-self. Just to clarify, I don't mean all the jews..so I'm sorry if I offended you or hurt your feelings.
