The cruelty of leaders … is one of the portents of Doomsday. (Muhammad ibn `Abd al-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 143)

this hadith may not be sahih, but I post it because we see it in our days, if you look at the news in tv, you can see how leaders fight for power as if they are going to live forever, they are glued ...on their chairs and they would kill anyone just as long as they stay on the lead....What an era we are in .....!
