Our Creator and pray for His *SWT* guidance and forgiveness. Beware of America, Beware of her tricks and schemes for surely they will lead you to your destruction. Open your eyes to God and embrace his Merciful Guidance for surely it will lead you to your salvation. ’Know that you will only emerge from the darkness of delusion and desire by sincerely turning in repentance to Almighty Allah.’ Imam Ja'afer al-Sadiq (AS) When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: "In what (plight) Were ye?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed Were we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their abode in Hell,- What an evil refuge! (Surah al-Nisa 97) 'Then the Queen of the world and of sin comes out against the Mahdi, an adulteress named America, who incites the world to deviation and infidelity. And the Jews at the time will have the upper hand for they will control Jerusalem and the Holy Land. And the Mahdi will see that the whole world plots against him but he will also see that Allah is the best of plotters, and that the world is but a tree, that Allah willed for Imam Mahdi to control from its root to its branches. And so Allah sends his curse upon the disbelievers burning their lands and destroying their sea until disbelief is gone.' -(Asmal Masalik Lieyyam Mahdiyy Maliki Li Kull-id Dunya Biemrillah-il Malik ("The Best ways to know the time of the Mahdi, King of the World, by Allah's command"), Qalda bin Zayd, p. 216)
