Looking around these days on the so call Arab Spring countries, one is supposed to reflect and ponder, then search in our text for the proper explanation, I wonder if there would be a better one than the following hadeeth:
Narrated under the authority of Abi Mousa Alasha`ry, may Allah be Pleased with him, that he said: the Messenger of Allah, blessing and peace be upon him used to inform us that during the time close to the Hour, there would be Haraj, he had been asked: what is Haraj, he said lying and killing, they answered: more than we kill now? He said: not killing the infidels, but rather killing among yourselves, to the extend that the man would kill his neighbour, kill his brother, kill his uncle, kill his cousin. They said: Sobhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), shall we do this while in our senses (while maintaining our minds)? He said: no, but rather the minds of those people during that time shall be taken off until one of you would perceive himself on the correct side while he is not (reported by Ahmad)
