We are reminded today of the staggering scale of humanity’s destructive capacity. Russia and the United States alone hold more than 12,000 nuclear warheads, 6,257 in Russia and 5,550 in the United States, enough to erase civilisation many times over. Yet the prospect of a third world war is often dismissed as distant or improbable.
From an Ottoman-Sufi perspective, such unprecedented power recalls ancient prophecies. In Islam it is foretold as al-Malhama al-Kubra, the “great battle” that precedes the final days; Christians call it Armageddon. When history, scripture and present-day tensions converge, we feel a solemn duty to bring awareness, prayer and reflection into the conversation.
If these warnings stir your heart, join our live meetings, where seekers gather for collective zikr, reflection on today’s challenges and guidance for staying spiritually grounded in turbulent times.
