War On Iran, Strait Of Hormuz, China, And The “Mountain Of Gold” Prophecy – An Islamic Eschatological Response By Sheikh Imran N. Hosein – Part 4

In this lecture, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein provides a comprehensive analysis of modern geopolitics through the lens of Islamic Eschatology (Akhir al-Zaman). He argues that current events involving Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and China are not merely political manoeuvres but are the fulfilment of prophecies leading to the “Great War” (al-Malhama al-Kubra).

Below is a detailed breakdown of the main points discussed in the lecture.

1. The Strategic Choke Point: The Strait of Hormuz

Sheikh Hosein begins by highlighting the Strait of Hormuz as the most critical geographical location in the current global power struggle. He characterizes it as a “noose” around the neck of the global economy.

The Blockade Strategy: He argues that the “Zionist-Anglo-American” alliance seeks to isolate Iran by blockading its ports and cutting off its ability to export oil. This is not just an economic sanction but an act of war.
Iran’s Counter-Move: The Sheikh suggests that Iran will not simply wait to be strangled. Its ultimate deterrent is the ability to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the Strait is closed, roughly 20-30% of the world’s petroleum stops flowing instantly.
Economic Collapse: He predicts that a closure of the Strait would lead to an immediate and catastrophic collapse of the US dollar and the global financial system, which is built on the “Petrodollar” (the requirement that oil be traded in USD).

2. The Entry of China and the “Eastern Alliance”

A significant portion of the lecture is dedicated to the role of China. Sheikh Hosein explains why China can no longer remain neutral in the Middle East.

Energy Dependency: Unlike the United States, which has significant domestic production, China is heavily dependent on energy imports from the Persian Gulf. Any war that disrupts the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz is an existential threat to China’s industrial economy.
The End of “Wait and See”: He argues that the West is forcing China’s hand. By targeting Iran, the West is effectively targeting China’s energy security. Consequently, he foresees China being forced into a military and strategic alliance with Russia and Iran to counter Western hegemony.
The “Rum” Prophecy: The Sheikh links Russia to the “Rum” mentioned in the Quran and Hadith (the Eastern Roman/Byzantine successor), suggesting that a prophecy exists of Muslims forming an alliance with a “Roman” (Russian/Eastern) power against a common enemy.

3. The Prophecy of the “Mountain of Gold”

The centrepiece of the lecture is the interpretation of the Hadith of the Euphrates. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prophesied that the River Euphrates would dry up and reveal a “Mountain of Gold” (Jabal min Dhahab).

The Warning: The prophecy warns that people will fight over this gold, and from every 100 people, 99 will be killed. The Prophet specifically advised: “Whoever is present at that time should not take anything from it.”
Economic Value vs. Utility: He argues that if a literal mountain of gold were discovered, the sheer supply would cause the global price of gold to crash, potentially making it less valuable. Oil, however, is the “blood” of the modern industrial and military machine. It is the one resource nations must fight over to survive.
The Petrodollar Connection: He links the prophecy to the current global financial system. Since the 1970s, the US dollar has been backed by oil (the petrodollar). Therefore, the “mountain” is the massive oil reserves in the region that sustain the dominant world power.
The “Drying Up” of the Euphrates: He interprets the “drying up” as the result of human intervention (dams like the Atatürk Dam). As the water is diverted or controlled, it exposes the strategic importance of the land and the vast energy reserves beneath it, which triggers the conflict.

4. The Great War (al-Malhama al-Kubra)

Sheikh Hosein connects the struggle over the “Mountain of Gold” and the conflict in the Persian Gulf to the Great War.

The 99% Casualty Rate: He interprets the “99 out of 100” mortality rate as a clear indication of nuclear warfare. In conventional war, such casualty rates are impossible; only weapons of mass destruction can achieve that level of lethality among combatants.
Global Depopulation: He views the upcoming war as a “mop-up operation” by the ruling powers to depopulate the world and establish a “One World Government” based in Jerusalem. He warns that this war is intended to destroy the power of sovereign nation-states, leaving only a global elite in control.

5. The Financial War: Gold vs. Paper

A recurring theme in the Sheikh’s work is the fraud of the monetary system.

The Petrodollar Trap: He explains that the world is currently enslaved by a bogus paper money system. The war on Iran is partly intended to preserve the Petrodollar. If Iran, Russia, and China successfully trade oil in gold or local currencies, the US dollar will lose its value “out of thin air.”
Return to Real Money: He urges Muslims to return to the Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham. He believes that as the “Mountain of Gold” is revealed and the paper system collapses, the world will realize, too late, that the current financial system was a mirage designed to facilitate the transfer of wealth from the masses to the elite.

6. The Eschatological Conclusion

Finally, Sheikh Hosein frames these events within the timeline of the appearance of Imam Mahdi and the return of Jesus (Isa al-Masih).

The Role of Iran: He views Iran’s resistance as a pivotal “shield” for the Muslim world. While he may have theological differences with Shia Islam, he emphasizes that in the context of eschatology, Iran is currently standing against the oppressor.
Spiritual Preparedness: His message is not merely political; it is a call to spiritual awareness. He warns that the “Mountain of Gold” is a test of greed. The 1% who survive are those who heed the Prophet’s warning and refuse to participate in the slaughter for material wealth.

Summary Table: Key Components of the Lecture

Topic	Sheikh’s Interpretation
Strait of Hormuz	The world’s “economic jugular”; its closure triggers dollar collapse.
China’s Role	Forced into the conflict to protect energy interests from the West.
Mountain of Gold	A highly valuable treasure in the Euphrates; the trigger for the Great War.
Great War (Malhama)	A nuclear conflict with a 99% casualty rate among participants.
Monetary System	A transition from fraudulent paper/digital currency back to gold.

Sheikh Hosein concludes by urging his audience to seek knowledge (ilm) that is both internal and external, so they may see the “reality” of the world today rather than just the “appearances” presented by the mainstream media. He stresses that we are living in the most dangerous period of human history, where the “Great War” is no longer a distant possibility but an imminent reality.
