METHODOLOGY FOR STUDY OF THE QUR'AN
by Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein
Qarnain: The second of the two Qarns
When will the second of the two Qarns in Qarnain, i.e., the second of the two ages, occur? And what will the world witness in that second Qarn, or age?
Our first response is that evidence of the emergence of the second of the two ages of Dhūl Qarnain must come from the region of the Black Sea with the emergence of a powerful State whose people worship the One God and who are powerful enough to punish oppressors and others who are wicked in conduct. The only people who reside in the region of the Black Sea, who follow a revealed scripture, and who possess power with which to punish the oppressors in such a way, are Orthodox Christians. The Qur’ān described them as Ahl al-Kitāb.
It is not by accident that Allah Most High has specifically permitted Muslims (in the Qur’ān) to not only eat the food of Ahl al-Kitāb, but also to marry their women. This is Allah’s way of informing Muslims that He, Allah Most High, distinguishes between Ahl al-Kitāb and others with whom marriage is not permitted, and whose food may not be eaten.
“This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the Ahl al-Kitāb (i.e., Christians and Jews) is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the Ahl al-Kitāb, revealed before your time – when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).”
(Qur’ān, al-Māidah, 5:5)
[This permission to partake of the food of the Ahl al-Kitāb excludes, of course, forbidden categories of meat such as pork. If a Christian is today found eating pork, then instead of condemning him, the Muslim should gently, patiently and respectfully try to guide him to his own Christian faith and law while warning him that when Jesus returns, he will not eat pork!]
Hence the second Dhūl Qarnain will have to be an Orthodox Christian State that is located in the region of the Black Sea with military power adequate to contain and neutralize Gog and Magog’s NATO.
There are woefully misguided Muslims who claim that when the Ottoman Islamic Empire conquered Constantinople, that Empire became Rūm. They go on to argue that the present-day secular Republic of Turkey which is comfortably sleeping in the same bed with Western Christianity in NATO, is a littoral State of the Black Sea and should be recognized as the second Qarn in Qarnain.
Turkey cannot qualify for a number of reasons:
Turkey is a member of NATO in direct disobedience of Allah’s command in the Qur’ān: Oh you who have faith (in Allah), do not take such Jews and such Christians as your friends and allies who, themselves, are friends and allies of each other! (Qur’ān, al-Māidah, 5:51). Dhūl Qarnain does not defy Allah!
Turkey, the NATO member-State, is also a friend and ally of the greatest oppressor, history has ever known i.e., the Judeo-Christian Zionist alliance which controls power in Britain, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Dhūl Qarnain has zero tolerance for oppression!
Those who rule over Turkey at this time are also a people who identify with, and are proud of the Ottoman so-called Islamic Empire which oppressed the Orthodox Christians in that region of the world for 600 years, and who, in transferring the seat of the Khilāfah, i.e., Islamic Caliphate, from the Arab world to Constantinople, were complicit in the eventual destruction of the Islamic Khilāfah. Dhūl Qarnain does not act in such a treacherous way!
The Turkish government and Armed Forces are complicit in a criminal adventure in their sinful participation in the overthrow of the Libyan Government, in consequence of which Libya is now a NATO puppet State, and in their sinful role in actively supporting a bogus ISIS as part of their strategy to recover the Ottoman Empire. This is the conduct of an oppressor!
Our view is that Orthodox Christian Russia has miraculously survived the attack of the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution and the godless Marxist Communism and a ruthless atheist Soviet Union through which Russian Jews sought to destroy the religious foundations of Russian society. Russia is now returning to its Christian roots and it its spiritual heart, and every sensible and intelligent Muslim should welcome such a wonderful and momentous event in the historical process. Regretfully, not all Muslims are sensible and intelligent!
Secondly, Russia has re-emerged from that long Soviet nightmare as a formidable military power which commands respect. Russia has also demonstrated that it is not prepared to submit to those who seek to rule the world through Pax Americana and through NATO.
Hence Russia is manifesting a profile of resistance to the oppressor. There are those who are unaware of facts, and rush to condemn Russia for having brutally crushed the last Chechen so-called Jihād. Had they done some research they would have discovered the sinister role of the CIA in actively funding and supporting that Saudi Wahhabi Jihād through a supply of state-of-the-art weapons as well as financing and covert training of those Yankee Mujāhidīn. The Zionists sought to destabilize Russia in that last Chechen CIA-sponsored so called Jihād. Had it succeeded, Russia would not have been able to resist that Judeo-Christian Zionist world-order, and would have had to submit to it the way Greece has today submitted.
Thirdly, it must have been by Divine plan that Russia was successful in not only thwarting the evil Zionist plan which would have robbed her of a warm water port in Crimea, but in also recovering Russian sovereignty of Crimea in what must be recognized as the greatest failure that world Zionism has ever experienced.
Fourthly, had Russia not intervened militarily in Syria, that country would have already become another NATO-controlled Libya. Indeed, Syria’s Orthodox Christians would also have already been slaughtered by the evil ones who are waging a bogus Jihād in Syria on behalf of the Zionist pay-master. Had such a slaughter of Syrian Orthodox Christians taken place, it would have destroyed any possibility of a Muslim-Orthodox Christian End-time alliance to resist Zionist oppression.
If we are correct in our analysis of all the data which has so far emerged, that they point to the emergence of the second of the two ages in Qarnain in the region of the Black Sea, and that the power that would emerge will contain Gog and Magog as they were contained the first time, then our conclusion is that only Orthodox Christian Russia qualifies for that historic role. The world can therefore be about to witness an unprecedented military drama in which Russia will check-mate NATO and then proceed, in collaboration with a Muslim army, to liberate Constantinople. And Allah Knows best!
We must now apply our methodology to assess the validity of a well-known Hadīth with a prophecy concerning Muslim End-time relations with their Christian allies (in Rūm) in which we are told that the Muslim-Christian alliance will be victorious against an enemy. However, the Christians will eventually turn against Muslims and wage war on them because a Christian would claim the victory for the Cross which a Muslim would dispute, while claiming the victory for Allah.
