THE
ISLAND IS BRITAIN
Our view is that the island referred to in the Hadith
was Britain. The evidence that supports our claim is truly startling. Consider the following. In 1917 the government of
the ‘island’ of Britain issued the Balfour
Declaration in which it announced to a startled world the intention of the
British Government to support the establishment of a Jewish National Home in
the Holy Land. Then in 1917-18 it was a British army led by General Allenby which defeated the Turkish army and liberated the Holy
Land of Muslim rule. From 1919 to 1948 Britain ruled over the Holy Land on the
basis of a Mandate conferred by the League of Nations. During this period of
time the world witnessed the massive emigration of European Jews to the Holy
Land. The tremendous German hatred
of the Jews for their betrayal in the first world war (the German Jews made a
deal with Britain that they would get USA to enter the war in support of
Britain if Britain, in turn, would promise to give them the Holy Land when the
war was won) and the resultant rise of Hitler led to such wholesale persecution
of the Jews as dramatically increased the Jewish emigration from Europe to the
Holy Land.
Finally, in 1948 Britain acted as the ‘midwife’ for the baby
to be born, i.e., for the declaration of independence
of the State of Israel. We may note, in addition, that the island of
Britain is located across the Mediterranean Sea about one month’s journey from
the Arab world! It is also important to note that the British have excelled in spying
and espionage. Sherlock Holmes and James Bond movies are the fictional
equivalent to Lawrence of Arabia.
It is quite possible that there would still be some who
would disagree with our view in which we have identified Britain as the island
mentioned in the Hadith. To such people we respond very respectfully
with the invitation to kindly correct us. In order to do so they must,
themselves, identify the island and provide the evidence that validates their
claim and invalidates ours.
And so we have concluded that the Hadith has informed
us that when Dajjal was released on earth and he commenced his mission
of impersonating the Messiah in ‘a day
that was like a year’ it was from the island of Britain that he did so. We have also noticed that during this period
of time Britain functioned as the ‘Ruling State’ of the world. Secondly
we noticed that when it was the ‘Ruling State’ of the world Britain exercised
control over the money of the world. This was done through the Bank of England.
Indeed London was the financial capital of the world.
But we then noticed that there was a moment in time when, in
a strange and mysterious way, Britain ceased to be the ‘Ruling State’ in
the world and was replaced by USA.
This process of change appears to have commenced with one war, i.e., the First
World War, and ended with another, i.e., the Second World War. Our view is that
the period between the First and Second World Wars witnessed the movement of Dajjal
from a day that was like a year to a
day that was like a month. It is very important that we observe
that process of change with great insight since it provides us with the clues
with which to recognize that moment in time when Dajjal would move from a
day that is like a month to a day that is like a week.
An act of terrorism in the summer of 1914 in the city of Sarajevo resulted in the assassination of the Arch Duke Franz
Ferdinand of Austria -Hungary. The perpetrator was a Serb but the footprints
that were left led to Russia . Whoever planned the assassination, and left
those footprints leading to Russia, wanted Austria -Hungary to declare war on Russia. The real target of the
assassination was not Russia but the ally of Russia, namely Britain. The
Ottoman Islamic State was the other target. It had to be destroyed and Britain
had to do the job of destruction. When Austria –Hungary declared war on Russia,
Britain and France promptly entered the war in support of Russia. And Germany
responded by entering the war in support of Austria -Hungary.
The plan behind the event of the assassination was to so
weaken the British economy through war that Britain would eventually lose its
status as the Ruling State in the world and would be replaced by another
State. The perpetrators of the act of terrorism were so devilishly cunning that
they were able to simultaneously attack the Ottoman Islamic Empire. That State
still constituted a formidable obstacle to the liberation of the Holy Land, the
return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the restoration of the State of
Israel. The best possible way of removing that obstacle was war. And so the
Ottoman Islamic Empire was forced, by way of skillful internal intrigue, to
enter the war in support of Germany.
Britain was then eventually used for attacking and destroying not only the
Ottoman Islamic State but, also, the Islamic Caliphate.
But from 1914 to 1916 the war was a disaster for Britain.
Firstly, German submarines wrested from Britain control over the seas.
Secondly, Germany occupied France and installed a pro-German government in Paris.
Thirdly, Russian troops were deserting and retreating. And finally, by 1916
Britain was in such dire straits that she was marooned and was threatened by
starvation. Then came dramatic change in 1916.
The Jews approached the British Government and offered to
get USA to enter the war in support of Britain if Britain would, as a quid
pro quo, promise to give the Holy Land to the Jews at the end of the war.
Britain accepted the offer. The Jews then put their tremendous propaganda machinery in USA to work and pulled
every possible string until they succeeded in getting USA to enter the war in
1916 in support of Britain. Britain responded one year later by issuing the Balfour Declaration. 1916 also marked
the successful conclusion of excellent espionage by British spies in the Arabian
Peninsula.
Britain succeeded in achieving two very important objectives
both of which constituted strategic blows delivered against the Ottoman Islamic
State. The first was the conclusion of a Treaty
of Mutual Assistance and Benevolent Neutrality between Britain and ‘Abdul
‘Aziz Ibn Saud (then ruling over Riyadh). The cost to Britain was a mere 5000 Sterling pounds a month that Abdul
Aziz would receive from the British Treasury. The second was the success in
inducing Sharif Husain, the Ottoman appointed
Sharif of Makka
and the Hejaz, to rebel against the Ottoman Caliph and declare his
independence. The cost to Britain was a princely sum of 7 million Sterling pounds.
And so 1916 changed the course of the war and eventually
delivered victory to the USA, Britain and the Jews. Not only was Germany
defeated but, more importantly, the Ottoman Islamic State was dismembered and
in its place emerged the secular State of Turkey. Indeed the secular leadership
of Turkey promptly negotiated an
offensive and defensive alliance with the same Britain that had played
the leading role in the dismemberment of the Ottoman Islamic State. But Britain
was so devastated by the war that the USA replaced Britain as the Ruling
State in the world. This was confirmed during the period between the two
world wars and then after the Second World War.
For example, during the Second World War it was an American
General, Dwight Eisenhower, who led
the allied troops. Then in 1944 the Bretton
Woods conference on the establishment of a new international monetary
system delivered a convincing statement on Britain’s new diminished status when
it selected the US dollar as the new international currency replacing the
Sterling pound. The International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank replaced the Bank of England as the
premier financial institutions in the world. And Washington replaced London as
the financial capital of the world thus controlling the money of the world.
After the war was over it was USA that had to rebuild the British and European
economies through the Marshall Plan. In the 1956 Suez crisis and again in the
Cuban missile crisis of 1963, USA convincingly demonstrated its new status as
the Ruling State in the world.
In the same way that Britain, the Ruling State in the
world, was strangely obsessed with the Holy Land (e.g., the Balfour
Declaration) and the British people were themselves incapable of explaining
this strange obsession, so too was the new Ruling State, USA, strangely
obsessed with the Holy Land, and so too were the American people themselves
incapable of explaining this strange obsession. For example, USA was the first
State in the world to ‘recognize’ the new State of Israel when it declared its
independence in 1948. Since then USA has acted as the chief Patron of Israel ‘through
thick and through thin’! USA has provided Israel with massive financial, economic and military aid. In fact the total aid
to Israel almost exceeds the total US aid to the rest of the world. Some of the
US aid has gone to Israel through the US government but a substantial amount of
aid has also gone from USA to Israel through Jews who are resident in USA. In
so far as military aid is concerned some has gone through the ‘front door’ and
some through the ‘back door’ (the case of Jonathan Pollard who passed on to
Israel US nuclear secrets is the most well known). As a consequence Israel
became a nuclear and a thermo-nuclear power on par with the nuclear States in
the world.
Our conclusion is that Dajjal is geographically
located in USA during that stage of his life on earth when ‘his day is like
a month’. We go on to argue in this book that we are now located at a
moment in time when Dajjal is about to move to that stage of his life on
earth when his ‘day would be like a
week’, which would witness USA being replaced by Israel as the Ruling
State in the world. In fact we have located the September 11th attack on USA as the opening round of the
process through which this change in Ruling States would be
accomplished.
By virtue of the fact that the Qur’an declared of
itself that it “explains all things” (Qur’an,
al-Nahl, 16:89), it is capable of explaining this most amazing of
events ever witnessed in the religious history of mankind, i.e., the
restoration of the State of Israel in the Holy Land almost 2000 years after it
was destroyed by Allah, Most High.
Our purpose in turning to the Qur’an to locate that
explanation is to direct attention to that divine guidance which will assist
the Muslim people around the world to respond appropriately to the strange
events unfolding in the Holy Land.
Before we return to an examination of this most
ominous of divine prophecies that has already been fulfilled, i.e., that Allah
Most High will bring the Jewish people back to the Holy Land in the ‘End Time’, it is necessary for us to
address the subject of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who is the greatest hoax the world
has ever known in response to the prophecy of the return of the Messiah.
