Bylined to: Russian PRAVDA
US political scientist: Nuclear war will break out next Tuesday, August
22!
Russian PRAVDA: Nuclear war starting in 10 days? Such was the
conclusion reached in the United States of America.
Russian generals and political scientists disagree only about its exact
starting date.
Our world is on the brink of another world war ... it will originate
August 22 in the Middle East. The prediction was presented not by Vagna
or Nostradamus but by an American political scientist Bernard Lewis (in
the acclaimed publication of Wall Street Journal).
He is a man with close ties to the Bush administration as well as to
the non-conservatives pushing for the radical solution of the
=E2=80=9CIranian Threat.=E2=80=9D
Lewis believes it will be precisely Teheran who will unleash the
ultimate conflict by attacking Israel. Why August 22? Perhaps simply
because Washington has set a deadline for the Iranian president Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad and has demanded a complete wrap up of the nuclear program
by that day. It is obvious that Teheran has no intention to comply.
Curiously, this year the night of August 22 happens to be night Muslims
will celebrate the journey of their prophet Mohammed to Jerusalem and
his ascension into heaven. According to Lewis the followers of Mohammed
have a perfect opportunity to enrich their celebration by throwing an
attack on Israel. An immediate retaliation will follow.
=E2=80=9CSuch a scenario does not seem too unrealistic to me,=E2=80=9D comm=
ents
Sergey Markov, a Russian political scientist, =E2=80=9CThese days anything =
is
possible in the Middle East. People living there are crazy and they
constantly keep playing with fire. Their situation has gone out of
control and is ready to explode any minute. In fact, the new world war
is already going in that place.=E2=80=9D
The First Act
As the Israeli invasion of Lebanon continues it is becoming clearer
that Tel-Aviv actually aims at much more than the elimination of
Hezbollah. Israel could have long since used its omnipresent scouts to
put an end to the resistance=E2=80=99s activity. Neither does the complete
destruction of all Hezbollah=E2=80=99s rocket-launching sites present a
problem for the Israeli army with its tremendous equipment and might.
So why the endless bombing of Lebanese cities and villages?
And why the overwhelming US support?
All this is happening precisely during the time when Americans seem
unable to force Iran to comply with their demands. Lebanese occupation
under the excuse of defending against Hezbollah is itself an excuse for
solving the Iranian problem.
The Second Act
Israel has already achieved the minimum solution by getting rid of
=E2=80=9CHezbollah=E2=80=9D across the border. What more do they need? UN h=
as
already offered to fill the occupied area with troops and peace-keepers
but Tel-Aviv has still not given its consent. The US is not in hurry to
give the green light either. In all actuality it looks like the two
countries are intentionally waiting until Iran gets involved in the
conflict. The expecting parties might anticipate the attack in the face
of fired Iranian rockets, which Tel-Aviv will intercept as they had
often done previously with the rockets from Iraq. This time, however,
Washington and Tel-Aviv will have acquired an official right to
retaliate against Iran.
The Third Act
Israel will attack Iranian nuclear sites. The US will provide its
support through the Navy in the Persian Gulf and perhaps through the
Air Force. Iran will not delay with its own full-scale attack against
the Israeli sites and the US ships.
At this point no one can guarantee that the rest of the Arab World is
going to remain watching as an innocent and uninvolved bystander.
The Fourth Act
Very soon such participants as Turkey will inevitably get dragged into
the funnel of war. In Iraq and Afghanistan anti-government militant
groups will become very active. Finally the conflict will focus on the
fighting for the control over the territories with major oil resources.
That is exactly with the US is after.
The eventual possession of the oil treasury by one of the conflicting
sides will provoke harsh resistance from both Asia and Europe. Russia
is also very likely to get provoked into becoming an active
participant. In the end this might become the Ultimate Fifth Act, in
which no one wishes to believe=E2=80=A6
Political Scientist=E2=80=99s Opinion
Alexander Prohanov, the main editor of =E2=80=9CZavtra=E2=80=9D
Newspaper:=E2=80=9CApocalypse Tomorrow=E2=80=9D
- The pulling of the trigger leading to the tragic chain of events has
been done. Syria and Iran will be pulled into the war right after
Lebanon. Israeli and American attacks on Iran will lead to the
interruption of oil exports into Europe and China. Their economies will
suffer. In the conclusion there will be chaos all across Asia.
The detonation device for the new apocalypse has been set off by
Americans, obviously. They believe that they have the power and the
authority to regulate the world=E2=80=99s chaos. But the US cannot even gain
control over its own minor chaos in Latin America. Let us only hope
that Russia will remain neutral throughout this universal nightmare.
Military=E2=80=99s Opinion
Alexander Vladimirov, major general and vice-president of the Board of
Military Experts of Russia:=E2=80=9CCollision of Civilizations=E2=80=9D
- This war is utterly futile for either one of the sides. And as the
one lacking in logic it is all the more dangerous. The most dangerous
aspect lies in the fact that Israel (and perhaps even Iran by now)
possess nuclear weapons and are able to put them to use. This means the
beginning of the global war because other countries will not be able to
remain uninvolved in the collision of civilizations of this magnitude.

The realm of the unseenPublished: Friday, 18 August, 2006, 01:03 PM
Doha Time
THROUGHOUT history man has always had a deep attraction for the
supernatural and the unseen. The existence of a world parallel to our
own has always fascinated people. This world is commonly referred to as
the spirit world, and almost every set of people have some concept of
one. With some people, these spirits are no more than the souls of dead
people =E2=80=93 or ghosts. With others, spirits are either the forces of
good or the forces of evil =E2=80=93 both battling against one another to
gain influence over humanity.
However, both of these explanations are more in tune with folk tales
and fantasy. The true explanation of such a world comes from Islam.
Like every other way, Islam also claims to explain this realm of the
unseen. It is from this realm that Islam explains to us about the world
of the Jinn. The Islamic explanation of the Jinn provides us with so
many answers to modem day mysteries. Without the knowledge of this
world, the Muslims would become like the non-Muslims and be running
around looking for any old answer to come their way. So, who or what
are the Jinn?
Existence
The Jinn are beings created with free will, living on earth in a world
parallel to mankind. The Arabic word Jinn is from the verb =E2=80=98Janna=
=E2=80=99
which means to hide or conceal. Thus, they are physically invisible
from man as their description suggests. This invisibility is one of the
reasons why some people have denied their existence. However, (as will
be seen) the effect which the world of the Jinn has upon our world, is
enough to refute this modem denial of one of Allah=E2=80=99s creation. The
origins of the Jinn can be traced from the Qur=E2=80=99an and the Sunnah.
Allah says:
"Indeed We created man from dried clay of black smooth mud. And We
created the Jinn before that from the smokeless flame of fire" (Surah
Al-Hijr 15:26-27)
Thus the Jinn were created before man. As for their physical origin,
the Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) has confirmed the above
verse when he said: "The Angels were created from light and the Jinn
from smokeless fire"[1]. It is this description of the Jinn which tells
us so much about them. Because they were created from fire, their
nature has generally been fiery and thus their relationship with man
has been built upon this. Like humans, they too are required to worship
Allah and follow Islam. Their purpose in life is exactly the same as
ours, as Allah says:
"I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me" (Surah
Ad-Dhariyat 51:56)
Jinns can thus be Muslims or non-Muslims. However, due to their fiery
nature the majority of them are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Jinns
form a part of the army of the most famous Jinn, Iblis =E2=80=93 the
Shaytan[2]. Consequently, these disbelieving Jinns are also called
Shaytans (devils). As for the Jinns who become Muslims, then the first
of them did so in the time of the Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa
sallam) when a group of them were amazed by the recitation of the
Qur=E2=80=99an. Allah orders the Prophet to tell the people of this event:
"Say (O=E2=80=99 Muhammad): It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn
listened and said; =E2=80=98Indeed we have heard a marvellous Qur=E2=80=99a=
n=2E It
guides unto righteousness so we have believed in it, and we will never
make partners with our Lord=E2=80=99" (Surah Al-Jinn 72:1-2)
In many aspects of their world, the Jinn are very similar to us. They
eat and drink, they marry, have children and they die. The life span
however, is far greater than ours. Like us, they will also be subject
to a Final Reckoning by Allah the Most High. They will be present with
mankind on the Day of Judgment and will either go to Paradise or Hell.
Abilities
That which clearly distinguishes the Jinn from mankind are their powers
and abilities. Allah has given them these powers as a test for them. If
they oppress others with them, then they will be held accountable. By
knowing of their powers, we can often make sense of much of the
mysteries which go on around us. One of the powers of the Jinn is that
they are able to take on any physical form they like. Thus, they can
appear as humans, animals trees and anything else. Over the last few
years the interest in the subject of aliens and UFO=E2=80=99s has become
heightened. Programmes such as the X-files and the Outer Limits have
increased the popularity of the theory that aliens exist. Thousands of
people have sighted strange looking creatures all over the world. These
sightings however, have still not proven substantially that aliens
exist. Rather =E2=80=93 and it seems more plausible all the sightings of su=
ch
creatures were just Jinns parading in different forms. So the next time
you see something that looks like ET, its most probably just a wicked
Jinn trying to scare and confuse you!
The ability to possess and take over the minds and bodies of other
creatures is also a power which the Jinn have utilised greatly over the
centuries. This however, is something which has been prohibited to them
as it is a great oppression to possess another being. Human possession
is something which has always brought about great attention. But the
true knowledge of this subject is rare amongst the people. Over the
last three decades the subject of possession has become very
commercialised. During the 1970=E2=80=99s films such as The Exorcist and
Rosemary=E2=80=99s Baby were used to educate people about possession.
However, because such institutions (the film industry) were heavily
influenced by Christianity, knowledge of the subject was non-existent.
Rather than educate people about Jinn possession, The Exorcist just
tended to scare the living daylights out of us![3] Only through Islam
can we understand such a phenomena.
We know as Muslims, that Jinns possess people for many reasons.
Sometimes it is because the Jinn or its family has been hurt
accidentally. It could be because the Jinn has fallen in love with the
person. However, most of the time possession occurs because the Jinn is
simply malicious and wicked. For this reason we have been told by the
Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) not to loiter in those plac=
es
where the Jinns reside, e.g. graveyards, ruins, deserts, marketplaces,
etc. We have also been commanded to recite the Qur=E2=80=99an frequently in
our houses as the Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) said:
"Indeed, the shaytan flees from the house in which Surah AI-Baqarah
(the 2nd chapter of the Qur=E2=80=99an) is recited"[4].
If a person does become possessed, then the name of Allah has to be
used in expelling the Jinn. If we look at the practice of the Prophet
and his companions, we find many du=E2=80=99as (supplications) to exorcise
the Jinn. All these du=E2=80=99as invoke Allah to help the possessed person.
How contrary this is to many modern-day exorcists. Many exorcists,
Muslim and non-Muslim, often invoke the names of others besides Allah
to exorcise the Jinn[5]. When the Jinn does leave, these people believe
that their way was successful. However, this is a ploy of the Jinn, as
it knows that if it obeys the exorcist, then it has succeeded in making
him worship others besides Allah i.e. commit shirk. The Jinn often
returns when the exorcist leaves, as it knows that nothing except the
words of Allah can stop it from oppressing others.
It is not only humans which are possessed, but also animals, trees and
other objects. By doing this, the evil Jinn hope to make people worship
others besides Allah. The possession of idols is one way to do this.
Not so long ago the world-wide phenomenon of Hindu idols drinking milk,
shocked the world. From Bombay to London, Delhi to California,
countless idols were lapping up milk. Ganesh[6] the elephant god and
even Hanuman the monkey god seemed to guzzle down the milk as if there
was no tomorrow! Unfortunately people were amazed by this (including
Muslims) and many flocked to feed (?) the Hindu gods. Anyone who knows
about Jinn possession, will undoubtedly know that this is a classic
attempt to make people commit shirk. And it worked, as many people
started to worship these lifeless pieces of wood and marble. Anyone
with half a brain would say to themselves, =E2=80=98why on earth does a god
need to be fed?!! Surely if Ganesh, Hanuman or Shiva were divine then
they wouldn=E2=80=99t need feeding?=E2=80=99 However, such common sense see=
med to
be lacking as the Jinns played havoc with these gullible people.
The Occult
Through their powers of flying and invisibility, the Jinn are the chief
component in occult activities. Voodoo, Black magic, Poltergeists,
Witchcraft and Mediums can all be explained through the world of the
Jinn. Likewise, so can the illusions and feats of magicians. Because
the Jinn can traverse huge distances over a matter of seconds, their
value to magicians is great. In return for helping them in their magic,
the Jinns often ask for the magicians to sell their souls to them and
even to Iblis.
Thus the magicians take the Jinn and Iblis as lords besides Allah. In
our day, some of the feats performed by magicians and entertainers are
without doubt from the assistance of the Jinn. Making the Statue of
Liberty disappear, flying across the Grand Canyon and retrieving a ship
from the Bermuda Triangle[7], have all been done by the Jewish magician
David Copperfield. There is NO way that a man could do such things
without the assistance of the Jinn. It would not be surprising
therefore, if David Copperfield had sold his soul to Iblis himself.
Because of their involvement with the Jinn, and its result in shirk,
the Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) said: "The prescribed
punishment for the magician is that he be executed by the sword"[8].
Some may argue that this is barbaric, but if, the likes of David
Copperfield truly had powers, then they could just put their heads back
on again!!
One of the most frequent activities associated with the Jinn, is
fortune-telling. Before the advent of the Prophet (sallallaahu
=E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) fortune-tellers and soothsayers were widespread.
These people would use their associates from the Jinn to find out about
the future. The Jinns would go to the lowest heaven and listen to the
Angels conversing amongst themselves about events of the Future which
they heard from Allah. The Jinns would then inform the fortune-tellers.
This is why before the time of the Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa
sallam) many fortune-tellers were very accurate in their predictions.
However, upon the Prophet=E2=80=99s arrival the heavens were guarded
intensely by the Angels, and any Jinn who tried to listen was attacked
by meteors (shooting stars):
"And We have guarded it (the heavens) from every accursed devil, except
one who is able to snatch a hearing and he is pursued by a brightly
burning flame" (Surah Al-Hijr 15:18)
The Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) also said: "They (the
Jinn) would pass the information back down until it reaches the lips of
a magician or forrtune-teller Sometimes a meteor would overtake them
before they could pass it on. If they passed it on before being struck,
they would add to it a hundred lies"[9]. Thus, it is clear from this as
to how fortune-tellers get predictions of the future right. It is also
evident as to why they get so many wrong. Men like Nostradamus[10] are
an example, as some of his predictions of the future were correct
whilst many were completely wrong. Unfortunately, the amount of
fortune-telling which occurs amongst the Muslims is also increasing. By
visiting Muslim lands such as Morocco, one is able to see as to how
much inter Jinn-fortune-teller activity there really is. If you look up
at the sky on a clear night in Morocco, you will see the heavens ablaze
with shooting stars! A clear display of the devils being chased away
from the heavens.
Fortune-tellers also operate through the Qareen. The Qareen is the Jinn
companion which is assigned to every human being. It is this Jinn which
whispers to our base desires and constantly tries to divert us from
righteousness. The Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) said:
"Everyone of you has been assigned a companion from the Jinn. The
companions asked: Even you O=E2=80=99 Messenger of Allah? And the Prophet
replied: Even me, except that Allah has helped me against him and he
has submitted. Now he only tells me to do good"=E2=80=99[11]. Because the
Qareen is with a person all his life, it knows all that has happened to
the person from the cradle to the grave. By making contact with the
Qareen, the fortune-teller is thus able to make out that it is he who
knows about the person. He looks in his crystal ball or the palm of a
person and proceeds to amaze him with knowledge which no one else
knows[12]. The severity of going to a fortune-teller is such that the
Prophet (sallallaahu =E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) said: "The prayer of one who
approaches a fortune-teller and asks him about anything, will not be
accepted for forty days or nights"[13] and: "Whosoever approaches a
fortune-teller and believes in what he says, has disbelieved in what
was revealed to Muhammad"[14]
The effects of the Jinn are not just limited to fortune-tellers. Other
activities such as oujia boards and seances, which are used to contact
the dead, are manipulated by the Jinn. =E2=80=98Are you there Charlie? Speak
to us Charlie!!=E2=80=99 are the sort of words spoken by anxious relatives
(names are obviously different!) seeking to make contact with their
loved ones. And it is when the Jinn starts to talk and communicate as
=E2=80=98Charlie=E2=80=99, that the people are truly fooled[15].
One of the biggest manipulations of the Jinn is through visions.
Through these visions the Jinns are more likely to lead people away
from the worship of Allah than any other way. When a person sees a
vision in front of his eyes it is something which is very hard to
explain away. Only by having knowledge of the world of the Jinn and
conviction in Allah, can a person fight such a trial. The countless
numbers of visions of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary over the
centuries has been a popular choice for the devils. It almost seems as
if leading Christians astray is the most easiest trick for the Jinns!
Not only are Christians fooled by these visions, but often the Jinns
possess and begin to talk from their voices. To the Christians this is
known as the tongues of the Angels and thus a proof for their faith.
However, the amount of unintelligible nonsense which is heard is a
clear proof that this is in fact the tongues of the devils! For other
people, visions of their parents or relatives are commonplace. By
taking on the form of peoples parents, the Jinns can convince people
that the souls of dead people still mix with the people of the earth.
This is why so many people believe in ghosts.
The onslaught of satanic visions has also hit the Muslims. Many Muslims
claim to have seen visions of the Prophet Muhammed (sallallaahu
=E2=80=98alaihi wa sallam) and even Allah! By doing this, Shaytan is able to
lead astray the weak Muslims. Through such visions, Muslims are often
told that the commands of Islam are not applicable to them. The Jinns
tell them that Prayer, Fasting, Haj, etc. are not obligatory for them.
It is a great deception and unfortunately one which has been very
effective. The extent of satanic visions still continues to this day.
The death of Diana Princess of Wales sparked off great love and
adoration for this woman. In fact the grief of the British people was
such, that it was as if Diana was something divine. No sooner had the
mourning of Diana reached its peak, that visions of her were already
being seen at Hampton Court Palace! If these visions did occur, the
desire of Iblis and his army of Jinn to capitalise on this event, was
evident. Such visions are clear attempts by Iblis to lead mankind away
from the path of Allah [16].
The world of the Jinn is one which is both sinister and intriguing. By
knowing of this world we can explain many of the mysteries and issues
which bother us. By doing this we can avoid the extremes which the
people have gone to; nothing being more extreme than worshipping others
besides Allah. By learning the Tawheed of Allah, we defend ourselves
from these hidden allies of Iblis:
"Indeed he (Iblis) and his tribe watch you from a position where you
cannot see them" (Surah Al-A=E2=80=99raf 7:27)
Maybe there is a Jinn sitting in the corner of your room right now, or
even one behind you. If so, then how will you deal with this creation
of Allah? Learn Islam properly and you will be able to deal with all of
Allah=E2=80=99s creation =E2=80=93 and not just the Jinn. By becoming true =
Muslims
and followers of Islam, the fear of Iblis, Jinns and anything else will
leave us =E2=80=93 nothing will touch the Believer unless Allah wills.

2 It must be remembered that Iblis is a Jinn and not an Angel. The
concept of the Devil being a fallen Angel is from Christianity and not
Islam.
3 In fact when The Exorcist was first shown on cinema, it was so scary
that many people fainted and one even died!
4 Authentic =E2=80=93 Reported by Tirmidhee
5 Whilst Christians invoke the name of Jesus, many Muslims invoke the
name of pious Muslim saints! The rituals which are conducted by many
Muslims are more akin to voodoo than the exorcism practised by the
Prophet and his companions!!
6 Ganesh, the elephant headed deity, seemed to be the biggest drinker!
In fact it didn=E2=80=99t just stop at milk. At the time of these
occurrences, a woman decided to see if Ganesh would drink anything else
=E2=80=93 so she offered him whiskey!! And Lo and behold Ganesh drank the
whiskey!!!

12 The classic example of how fortune-tellers can be wrong is the case
of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed. Both went to see a
fortune-teller who told Diana that she would live a long and happy
life. A few weeks later, on August 31st 1997, Diana and Dodi Fayed were
dead. After this the fortune-tellers flew for cover, as their evil art
showed its decadence.
