Islam's Self-Destructive Seed
A reflection on an eerie prophecy by Mohammed.
January 22, 2015
Within the DNA of Islam is a self-destructive element: a prophecy by Mohammed in which he said that Islam will eventually be rejected by the world and would return back to where it came from. Ask your local imam, and he’ll tell you: Mohammed doesn’t lie.
Incredibly, Mohammed himself was not optimistic about his own message and the future of Islam and Muslims:
[T]he Messenger of Allah (Mohammed) observed: Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole." [Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0270.]
In this hadith, Mohammed foretold that the end of Islam would be strange just like its beginning and that it would shrink back to the limited area where it came from - - between the two mosques of Mecca and Medina.

As a result, the Ottomans annexed eastern Anatoliaand northern Iraqfrom Safavid Iran. It marked the first Ottoman expansion into eastern Anatolia, and the halt of the Safavid expansion to the west. Despite the Iranians briefly reconquering the area over the course of the centuries, the battle marked the first event that would eventually, through many wars and treaties later, lead to its permanent conquest, until the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire centuries later. By the Chaldiran war the Ottomans also gained temporary control of northwestern Iran. The battle, however, was just the beginning of 41 years of destructive war, which only ended in 1555 with the Treaty of Amasya. Though Mesopotamiaand Eastern Anatolia (Western Armenia) were eventually taken back by the Safavids under the reign of king Abbas I (r. 1588–1629), they would be permanently lost to the Ottomans by the 1639 Treaty of Zuhab. At Chaldiran, the Ottomans had a larger, better equipped army numbering 60,000 to 100,000 as well as a large number of heavy artillery pieces, while the Safavid army numbered some 40,000 to 80,000 and did not have artillery at its disposal. Ismail I, was wounded and almost captured during the battle. His wives were captured by Selim I, with at least one married off to one of Selim's statesmen. Ismail retired to his palace and withdrew from government administration after this defeat and never again participated in a military campaign. The battle is one of major historical importance because it not only negated the idea that the Murshid of the Shia-Qizilbash was infallible, but it also fully defined the Ottoman-Safavid borders with the Ottomans gaining northwestern Iran, and led Kurdishchiefs to assert their authority and switch their allegiance from the Safavids to the Ottomans. |
Could that prediction by Mohammed himself be a signal of the inevitable demise of Islam?
Mohammed’s predictions of Islam crawling back like a snake to where it came from were repeated extensively in several other hadiths:
“Belief returns and goes back to Medina like a snake.” (Sahih Bukhari, 3.30.100.)“Muslims will be the scum and the rubbish even though their numbers may increase; the enemy will not fear Muslims anymore. This will be because the Muslims will love the world and dislike death...
(Sunaan Abu Dawud, 37.4284.)“Muhammad’s contemporaries were the best Muslims; after three generations, the Muslims will be mainly treacherous and untrustworthy.” (Sahih Bukhari, 5.57.2, 3.)“There will be much killing during the last days of the Muslim."
(Sahih Bukhari, 9.88.183.)"Verily, Belief returns and goes back to Medina as a snake returns and goes back to its hole (when in danger)."(Volume 3, Book 30, Number 100: Narrated Abu Huraira.)
Mohammed also predicted a large movement of apostasy out of Islam:
“Muslims will diminish in number and they will go back to where they started [before Islam]” (Sunaan Abu Dawud, 2.19.3029.)There will be no trace of Islam in some believers..."(Sahih Bukhari, 9.84.65.)
Could these believers, with no trace of Islam in them, be the reformers of Islam, like the well-intentioned Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, who are believing in an Islam that does not and never existed? Mohammed's fears of large apostasy movements and envy of other religions continue:
There will appear in this nation….. a group of people so pious apparently that you will consider your prayers inferior to their prayers, but they will recite the Quran, the teachings of which will not go beyond their throats and will go out of their religion as an arrow darts through the game, whereupon the archer may look at his arrow, its Nasl at its Risaf and its Fuqa to see whether it is blood-stained or not (i.e. they will have not even a trace of Islam in them). [Volume 9, Book 84, Number 65:]
Since its inception, Islam has been at war with civilization. "Civilization" is considered a threat to Arabia’s identity and culture and with Islam it was the outside world that had to change and adapt to Arabia’s language, culture, religion.
Will jihadists, yearning for achieving their imaginary perfect caliphate, finally realize that such a utopia never existed and will never exist? Will they eventually grasp that their enemies are not the Mubaraks, Assads, Qaddafis, America, Israel, or past injustice, but in fact, their enemy is within, a terminal virus written in a 7thcentury incoherent political and legal system that still rules them today? Will Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia reject Sharia, and send it back to where it came from as their prophet predicted, to the two mosques in Mecca and Medina?
Will the world finally come to its senses, learn from the violent history of Islam, and reject it by declaring it the most evil totalitarian ideology created by man? Will the world learn that Islam is but a snake, a viper, behind the title of religion? Will the leaders of the free world find the courage to unite in a march to save the world and say loud and clear, “Islam go back to Mecca, like your prophet predicted”? And then will they declare, “There is no place for you in our part of the world, and the world we want our children to live in”?
What are Muslim leaders waiting for to declare the truth? Will they finally admit they cannot rule any longer under the barbarian laws of Sharia that are enshrined in all Islamic constitutions? Will we ever see the day when old great nations such as Egypt and Persia (Iran), who were conquered by Arabs and never saw their glory days again, stand side by side with Western nations to send Islam back to Mecca?
Will the world finally unite against Islamic terror for the sake of our children and the millions of men and women who lost their lives to bring freedom to our world to end Islam's desperate need for expansion?
Like a Ponzi scheme, Islam must expand to survive. In that sense, Islam works only when more and more people join its pyramid. As long as the supply of new Muslim believers can empower the pyramid and convince the other suckers, the naïve Muslim followers, that they are right, it can survive.
The Ponzi scheme is currently still effective as it expands in the West without restriction or conditions. This expansion has given Islam a one-sided golden opportunity to grow in Europe, America, and Australia. Tragically, and to its ultimate demise, the West has extended a life-line to a dying, evil ideology, one that has already predicted its own death. Now it will live a little longer, and because of that, it will continue to destroy others.
When will the West respect Mohammed’s prophecy, and send Islam back down the snake hole, the one in Mecca?
