Doomsday
will not come until Iraq is attacked.
Innocent people in Iraq will seek
shelter in Sham. Sham will be rebuilt,
and Iraq will be rebuilt. (Muntakhab
Kanz al`Ummal, vol. 5, p. 254)
The hadith draws attention to the reconstruction
of Iraq. Many Iraqi cities were reduced
to rubble during the Iran-Iraq war, and
then again during the two Gulf wars of 1991
and 2003. After this latest war, Iraq's
rebuilding became compulsory because so
much of it had been ruined. Looting also
contributed to this situation. This appeared
in newspapers, as follows:
(1)
USA WILL RECONSTRUCT IRAQ (Ortadogu,
March 19, 2003)
(2) THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IRAQ
(Oncevatan, April 18, 2003)
