“The People will soon summon one another to attack you from every place in the same way that a pack calls around its prey” Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time: but you will be froth and scum like that carried down by a torrent (of water), and Allah will take the fear of you from the breasts (hearts) of your enemy and cast al-wahn into your hearts.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah , what is al-wahn?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death.”

يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ الْأُمَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ أُفُقٍ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الْأَكَلَةُ عَلَى قَصْعَتِهَا قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ بِنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنْ تَكُونُونَ غُثَاءً كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ يَنْتَزِعُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْ قُلُوبِ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَيَجْعَلُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ الْوَهْنَ قَالَ قُلْنَا وَمَا الْوَهْنُ قَالَ حُبُّ الْحَيَاةِ وَكَرَاهِيَةُ الْمَوْتِ

Love of this world and disliking death...What does that mean? When we fall in love with this world, despite its injustice, racism, oppression, killing etc., we have in fact lost ourselves and accepted these immoral conditions even though one might complain about it from time to time. In fact, its just to say, that it is far easier for those who feel themselves privileged from the status quo & benefiting, despite the current conditions of corruption, to lose themselves faster...Thus, the financial element within society is dedicated towards seeding more corruption rather than being one of the resources needed to help remedy it. While those who feel they are self-entitled & benefiting, lose themselves; in order to continue to benefit, they then assume roles themselves in becoming callers to the same corruption that plagues us all {both Muslims and Non-Muslims}; because those who benefit are only benefiting from the confusions of disbelief, double-speech, hypocrisy, broken promises, acceptance of injustice, susceptibility to humiliation and compulsions of the weak to attain the same benefit and or at the price of their own pain & suffering...So the complaining of the few who benefit, is nothing more than political rhetoric void of any sincerity, because with it you find in most cases, the void of substantial action that ordinarily accompany those who are sincere towards correcting these injustices. In other words, conditions of limitations and sustainability are placed on society that serve the illusionary apparatus that pays homage to unsubstantiated words and promises. Indeed, the love of this world needs internal slaves that will serve to uphold the false reality of materialism {i.e. disbelief, hypocrisy, satanism} which isn’t sustainable and is rooted in the worse of evils that will plague humanity.
Further yet, what becomes apparent through these conditions is the enrichment gap between the wealthy and the poor through the lens of economical & infrastructural manifestations of affluent areas at the price of further degradation & imprisonment type development to the poorer areas and its peoples. Therefore, this false power is sustained because people have lost the will to put their lives on the line in order to re-establish Justice...Aren’t many of us who perceive our current conditions as free, the descendants of many who have paid the price with their lives so that we might have a better chance of freedom? Its no coincidence that the heroes of today have been altered to depict the cowards who return from battle rather than those who have sincerely died for the cause willing... Disliking death, is the surrender of the people to the conditions that subjugate them. Its not ironic that today this deeper insight has been lost or disregarded totally, since our elderly have been broken, while our younger generations have been deliberately spoiled to the conclusion of their sobriety.
The dangers of this time we live are so acidic towards the hearts of humanity, that if one isn’t literally, continuously, conscious about him or herself; the corruption of this time will subtlety or abruptly whisk anyone away in the storm of societial & cultural corruption depending on your level of interaction with it. Deeper still this phrase “Love of the world and dislike of death”, is profound in expressing what becomes necessary in the war against injustice. Freedom is a right divinely ordained on us all, unfortunately the time arises over & over again within human history where this right calls for bloodshed to regain it...and requires generational warriors to safeguard it while it exist until the next trials occur that will reprove those who deserve it again in the future.
Because human-beings have dual natures {spiritually good which needs constant cultivation & whispers of evil in obedience of desire & doubts in disbelief }. The world isn’t linear and so our histories we find reoccurring...Even with the sophistication of modernity, humanity still finds itself, maybe more so, hereditarily prone to acquiring all the sickness & diseases of society as a sign in culmination to the hour in comparison to the many nations that have come and passed on before us.

Holy Quran 9:10
لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِى مُؤْمِنٍ إِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةً ۚ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُعْتَدُونَ They do not observe toward a believer any pact of kinship or covenant of protection. And it is they who are the transgressors. Holy Quran 9:12 وَإِن نَّكَثُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ عَهْدِهِمْ وَطَعَنُوا۟ فِى دِينِكُمْ فَقَٰتِلُوٓا۟ أَئِمَّةَ ٱلْكُفْرِ ۙ إِنَّهُمْ لَآ أَيْمَٰنَ لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَنتَهُونَ And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease. |
Holy Quran 9:13

أَلَا تُقَٰتِلُونَ قَوْمًا نَّكَثُوٓا۟ أَيْمَٰنَهُمْ وَهَمُّوا۟ بِإِخْرَاجِ ٱلرَّسُولِ وَهُم بَدَءُوكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ ۚ فَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَوْهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Would you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to expel the Messenger [prophet s.a.w], and they had begun [the attack upon] you [muslims] the first time? Do you fear them [disbelievers]? But Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers.
