In 10 years from now it will also be a hundred years since Makkah and Madinah were taken out of Dajjāl’s Ottoman frying pan only to enter into Dajjāl’s Saudi-Wahhabi fire. Let there be no doubt in the reader’s mind that after having shamelessly aligned Saudi Arabia with the Zionist Anglo-American Judeo-Christian alliance for the longest while, Saudi Arabia’s leaders have now made that State a strategic ally of the Zionist State of Israel. And hence it is clear that they work for al-Masīh al-Dajjāl, i.e., Dajjāl the false Messiah or Anti-Christ. This is perhaps the implication of the vision in which Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) saw Dajjāl making Tawāf around the Ka’aba. There is also considerable evidence that the Ottomans acted, consciously or unconsciously, on Dajjāl’s behalf by rendering considerable assistance to western Christianity. They did so by repeatedly plunging a vicious and venomous knife for some 600 years into the heart of its rival, i.e. eastern Christianity or Rūm. This was in accord with Dajjāl’s agenda since it was western Christians who made an alliance with Jews, and it is that alliance which brought Israel into being. Rūm never made such an alliance with the Jews!
The predictable result was intense hatred for Islam and hostility towards Muslims on the part of those in Rūm who suffered so unjustly and for so long a period of time.

Both the Ottoman State, as well as Saudi Arabia, mysteriously and wickedly disregarded the prophecy of the blessed Prophet that Muslims will make an End-Time alliance with eastern Christianity or Rūm. Hence both the Ottomans as well as the Saudi-Wahhabis rendered strategic assistance to Dajjāl.
The Ottoman Empire conquered and occupied much of the Arab world – including the Hejāz – and succeeded in transferring the capital of the Khilāfah (Caliphate) – for the first time ever – out of the Arab world to the former Christian Byzantine city of Constantinople in Euro-Asia. The Ottomans hardly had any credentials to rule over the heart-land of Islam. Yet, in accordance with Dajjāl’s plan, they did so for more than 400 years until a European-engineered Arab Spring dismantled Ottoman rule, destroyed the institution of the Khilāfah, and installed pro-western rulers over the Arabs (including the Hijāz). The destruction of the Khilāfah and transfer of power to pro-western Arab rulers paved the way for a State of Israel to be successfully established in a Holy Land that was located in the very heart of the Arab world. Without 400 years of imperial Ottoman rule over the Arabs, followed by that ‘Arab Spring’, the Zionist State of Israel could never have been established.

Sharīf al-Husain, the Ottoman-appointed Arab Sharīf of Makkah, did claim the Khilāfah for himself, in response to the Turkish abolition of the Khilāfah, but it was too late for an Arab Khilāfah to be restored. Britain used ‘Abd al-‘Aziz Ibn Saud to make short work of that short-lived Arab Khilāfah and to then ensure that the Khilāfah of Islam could never be restored so long as the Saudi-Wahhabis controlled the Hejāz. Husain had to flee, and the subsequent Saudi-Wahhabi rule over the Hejāz ensured (from a British view) that the Khilāfah remained permanently buried.

For just over 400 years of Ottoman rule Makkah and Madinah remained gloriously restricted and cleverly suppressed as places of grand annual pilgrimages, without even a hint of these now-remote cities playing any other role in Islamic affairs. However when the Saudi-Wahhabis took over the Haramain al-Sharifain they launched a sinister effort to exploit the Hajj of 1344 to gain political and religious legitimacy in the world of Islam for their rule over the Hejāz and the Haramain. The effort failed. They then proceeded to exploit the city of the Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) for propagating an Islamic creed with a one-eyed epistemology that robbed Arab Islamic scholarship of spiritual insight (firāsah al-mu’min). Madinah became a university town with an agenda of refashioning both Arab and non-Arab Islamic thought in such wise that scholars could ensure that the purest expression of Islam would prevail in Madinah. Instead, that ‘purest’ expression of Saudi Islam produced Islamic scholars who could no longer distinguish between appearance and reality in matters pertaining to Dajjāl. As a consequence Saudi Arabia could bury the Khilāfah and continue to maintain fraternal ties with the Zionist West with no significant scholarly religious opposition. In fact, University scholars and students who dared to challenge the Saudi-Wahhabi agenda that has now culminated in secret alliance with Israel could even lose their heads.

JERUSALEM MOVES TO CENTER-STAGE

During these more than six centuries while Madinah remained a back-water town, and subsequently became a mournfully silent one-eyed university town, a Judeo-Christian Anglo-American alliance (which nurtured the Zionist Movement from its very birth) moved incrementally and successfully to take Jerusalem to center-stage in world affairs. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) prophesied as much when he said:
Narrated Mu’adh ibn Jabal: The Prophet (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: The flourishing state of Jerusalem will be when Yathrib (i.e., the city of Madinah) will be desolate; the desolate state of Yathrib will be when the great war comes; the outbreak of the great war will be (followed by) the conquest of Constantinople; and the conquest of Constantinople will be (followed by) Dajjāl’s (Antichrist) coming forth (i.e., appearing or emerging). He (the Prophet) then he tapped with his hand the thigh or the shoulder of the one to whom he was talking and said: This is certainly true like you are (sitting) here (he meant Mu’aadh ibn Jabal).

Great wars will soon lead to the conquest of Constantinople

This essay presents a viewpoint that we are now located at that moment in time when Jerusalem is flourishing while Madinah, in comparison to Jerusalem, is in a state of silent mournful desolation – playing absolutely no role whatsoever in the affairs of either the world of Islam or the world at large. If this viewpoint is correct, then the implication would be that we can now expect great wars prophesied in the above Hadīth to soon commence. This writer expects those wars to commence within the next few months of the publication of this essay. Those wars will eventually provoke civil war in Turkey which, in turn, will result in the prophesied End-Time conquest of Constantinople in contra-distinction to the barbarous Ottoman conquest of the city that was disgraceful and an embarrassment to Islam. It is only after the coming Islamic conquest of Constantinople, at which time the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia will be returned to Eastern Christianity with an apology, and the city will recover the name of Constantinople, it is only then that ‘a day like a week’ will end (see Jerusalem in the Qur’an) and Dajjāl will appear in person while attempting to rule the world from Jerusalem (see above Hadīth).
It is difficult to anticipate how the Turkish civil war will take place. But it entirely possible that a Turkish military adventure into Syria to bring about such regime change as would advance the Zionist agenda, could provoke the Turkish Muslims to commence the effort to free Turkey from NATO’s venomous embrace. That effort can be assisted by Arab fighters flocking to Turkey from all over the Arab world. The world can also witness fighters flowing into Turkey from Albania, Bosnia, Azerbaijan and other neighboring territories.

The essentially godless secular Turkish nationalists did not want Muslims to ever realize that the conquest of Constantinople prophesied by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa salaam) had not as yet occurred, and was still to come; and that appears to be at least one of the reasons why they changed the name of the city. Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) used the name Constantinople (al-Konstantaniyyah in Arabic) when he prophesied about the city. He did not use any other name. Hence if that name were to be relegated to a museum, it was quite possible that Muslim attention would be diverted from the implications of the prophecy.

When the Ottoman army broke through the defenses of the city and finally succeeded in entering the city as conquerors, what followed was “killing, looting, raping, burning and enslaving”. This may have been, and may still be the way that armies behave when they conquer a city, but this was not the way of Islam which enjoins respect and protection for the lives and honour of women, children, the elderly and those – like priests – whose lives are devoted to religion. Indeed there is evidence that even the Christian churches and monasteries were violated by the rampaging so-called Islamic army which broke in and proceeded to rape, plunder and kill even inside the church. The Sultan gave permission for this to continue, unrestricted by any ethical norms of warfare, for a period of three days. The Ottomans were unconcerned about the fact that Constantinople was the capital city of Byzantine Christianity (or Rūm). Such conduct on the part of the Ottoman army ensured eternal hatred for Islam in Byzantium.

But the conduct of the Sultan himself, as soon as he entered the city, was deplorable. He disgracefully and sinfully ordered that the great Byzantine Cathedral of Hagia Sophia which had been constructed 1000 years earlier by the Emperor Justinian, to be converted into a Masjid. When Muslims conquered Jerusalem at the time of the Khilāfah of Umar bin al-Kahttab, the Patriach of Jerusalem, Sophronius, refused to hand over the city to other than the Khalīfah himself. Umar had to travel from Madinah to Jerusalem to accept the keys to the city. While he was being escorted on a tour of the holy churches of Jerusalem the time for Salāt arrived and the Patriach graciously invited Umar to perform his Salāt right there in the Church of the Resurrection. Umar declined because he feared that it might constitute grounds for Muslims to subsequently convert the church to a Masjid. The Ottoman conversion of Hagia Sophia to a Masjid was not an ordinary event. This was the greatest and most magnificent church in the entire Christian world. It had retained that position for 1000 years. In converting the church to a Masjid the Sultan not only embarrassed the world of Islam, but also drove a venomous knife into the very heart of eastern Byzantine Christianity that would never ever be forgotten. While others may convert churches, monasteries and even masājid (e.g. Cordoba) an Amīr who is personally praised by the Prophet himself cannot be expected to descend to that disgraceful standard of conduct.

We pointed out earlier that we are now located at that moment in history when Jerusalem is flourishing while Madina is in a state of desolation. Hence it is clear that the world now stands on the brink of great wars which, in turn, will provoke the prophesied Muslim conquest of Constantinople. That Muslim conquest will not only liberate the city from godless nationalist Turkish rule, but also extricate and liberate the city from NATO’s venomous Zionist embrace.

In the unlikely event that further evidence is required to prove our thesis, we now present further evidence which prove beyond doubt that the 1453 Ottoman conquest of Constantinople could not have been the conquest prophesied by Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
