The End Times is a period of widespread
cursing and abuse among people. This situation
is expressed as follows:
In the Last Days, there will be such
people, who, when they meet, curse
and abuse each other instead of greeting
[with salaam].
(Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti, Durre-Mansoor)
The
community of the faithful will be
on a favorable path until they encounter
three things: Until goodness disappears,
until immoral children grow in number,
and until essekkarun appears amongst
them� They asked what is essekkarun?
They answered, a generation that will
emerge in the End Times, among whom
greetings will be regarded as vile
oaths. (Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul
Barzanji,
Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, pp.
141-42)
