Fitna in Damascus
The hadith indicates that there will be
terrible chaos in Sham before the Mahdi
appears. This refers to the chaos developing
in Syria.
As we mentioned earlier, however, "Sham"
means "the left" and refers to those countries
to the left of the Hijaz.

During the early years of the twentieth
century, civil wars, rebellions, conflict
and great wars were already raging in this
region. These conflicts triggered one another
and had a great impact upon all of the people
living there. The statement "This tribulation
… will calm down on the one hand and flare
up again on another" is noteworthy in this
regard: Over the last fifty years, several
major events occurred in this region, among
them the Suez War, the Six Day War, the
Yom Kippur War, the Lebanese civil war,
and the ongoing tension in Palestine.
