The prophecies of the Muslim patriarch

There are many prophecies telling us what will happen in the future. The vast mayority is connected with the year 2012 and what will happen in coming months. At the same time we know almost only these prophecies which are connected with our culture, especially with Christianity. Is it possible that similiar words can be heard from Muslims? 

Very interesting are especially prophecies of Mohamed Nazim El-Hakkani, a Sufi from Cyprus and the leader of the Naqshbandi Order, one of major sufi orders. He was born in 1922 and is a member of an old family descending from the 13th century poet and mistic Jalaluddina Rumi. Nazim predicted the political changes in the Middle East long before they started. 

He says that the great events will take place at the beginning of the month of Muharram, which in islamic tradition is the first month of the year. The month Muharram had begun on November 26th 2011 (the beginning of the next will be on November 15th 2012). 

We Await Muharram

All the countries now are covered with darkness, darkness (...) I am looking for the month of Muharram when, if something happens, this world will be like this.(upside down - Orwellsky) (...) The Prophet (s) informed us that there will be troubles and quarrelling among the Arabs. Now the Arabs are divided (...)But these troubles (among Arabs) must end in Muharram (...) We will see: if there is movement, everyone must stay where they are. They should not come and go or move around, no! The tenth day of Muharram, if what was supposed to happen happens, in Muharram and Safar al-khayr, millions will perish! (...)

What happened in Egypt is from His severe punishment and the same happened in Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Algeria and in Syria! 

Take Precaution In The Month of Muharram 

The first of Muharram will be on Saturday (November 26). This month Dhul Hijjah is 29 days, meaning Saturday is more correct.

Allah (swt) knows what will take place and what will happen during the month of Muharram; therefore, if there is no urgency or absolute necessity, there is no need to travel, not to America, not to Europe. You have to take precaution and be careful and attentive. 

Maybe WWIII will start in the Middle East and the Russian army may reach to the plain of Amuq in Syria. The war will take place. Allah (swt) will make Islam victorious and support it and open the way to Turkey. Allah (swt) may open the way to Istanbul. From there, the sultan will come and enter Istanbul, and Imam Mahdi (a) is still present in the movement, but he is not appearing yet. 

Maybe this event will take place in the month of Rajab or after, when Imam Mahdi (a) will enter Istanbul. This means that the region of the Middle East is on fire. The army will come from Damascus against the Russian army and the hand of Imam Mahdi (a) is with the army, but he himself is not present or appearing. 

I am not afraid, but rather cautious of the occurence of Armageddon as the time is very near! Therefore, in the month of Muharram everyone must be careful and take precaution. They should not move like this, like that. Without absolute necessity, do not move! Everyone must remain in their areas and in their homes (stay where they are).  

It means do not go out of your homes unless absolutely necessary. Keep yourselves in your homes as the one who stays in his or her home is in safety and security, but he who goes out is in danger as something may hit him. 

Therefore, every person according to their situation and possibility, should keep stocks (of food) in their homes so they may not be needy. And you do not know, the grocery shops may be closed and you may not find anything. You may then find something in your house, and from what you stocked for you and your family for twenty days by divine permission and blessing may last forty days. If a person may buy extra, more than his family’s needs, and he asks to grant to the poor people who come and knock at his door, he may also reach them. By the divine generosity of Allah (swt) and by His favor and blessing, if you spend something on the poor servants of Allah (swt) He will increase the provision in your home without you knowing it. Do you understand?

Another interesting case is that for Shia Muslims Muharram is one of the major months of the year, while the 10th of Muharram is a day of sorrow. There is not much time to have Nazim's prophecy fullfilled.
