“We were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah’s Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi’ said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered.” (Sahih Muslim 6930)
“Al-Aqsa Mosque Address: We Will Soon Establish the Caliphate, Liberate Jerusalem and Conquer Rome,” MEMRI, January 17, 2020:
On January 17, 2020, a video was uploaded to the Internet of an event at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on the anniversary of the 1453 AD capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire. The event was held by Hizb ut-Tahrir. Palestinian preacher Nidhal “Abu Ibrahim” Siam spoke before the crowd and said that the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople brings tidings that Rome will be conquered in the near future. He said that three prophecies will soon be fulfilled, and he expressed hope that his audience will be the ones to fulfil them. Siam elaborated that these prophecies are the prophecy that a rightly-guided Caliphate will be established, the prophecy that Jerusalem will be liberated and established as the capital of the Caliphate, and the prophecy that Islam “will throw its neighbors to the ground” and that its reach will span across the world. He told the crowd that their real task is to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah and to make the word of the infidels inferior to the word of Allah. In addition, he called on them to seek martyrdom for Allah. He added: “Do not obey the followers of Satan [and] those who collaborate with America, Russia, and the West.” The crowd chanted: “This Al-Aqsa [Mosque] will be liberated… The Caliphate was promised by Allah… By means of Caliphate and the consolidation of power, your conquest, oh Rome, is a matter of certainty… Allah Akbar!”…
Jim says
I understand why they want to conquer Jerusalem – they hate Jews. But why Rome? Is it because they have already conquered the capital of the eastern Roman Empire (Constantinople), and now they want to complete the job of conquering the entire Roman Empire by taking the capital of the western Roman Empire (Rome)?
Alan says
They believe that by conquering the “roman” empire and thereby the Roman catholic church, then they will have dealt a very heavy blow to the Christian world. They are attempting to start the purging of the world of all non-muslims.
Kfir says
because in his cursed book Muhammad promises the conquest of Rome (Roman Empire, today means all the West)
Drone them….
FYI says
muhammed’s “prophecies” are laughable.
“Do you realize the importance of this night?
Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will
be living after the completion of 100 years from this night”
{Sahih Bukhari 1:10:539/Sahih Muslim 31:6160}
This was from c 632 AD
Did the World end in 732 AD as muhammed promised would happen?
Obviously not.
But then muhammed also said..
“I have fabricated things against God and imputed to him things he has not said”
Al Tabari 6:111
Christian{Biblical} prophecies come through the power of God’s Holy Spirit
{2 Peter 1 v 20-21}and are genuine.
islamic “prophecies” by contrast are man made and do NOT come through the power of the Holy Spirit{a concept that is part of the Trinity that is God’s Wisdom:something allah doesn’t believe in as he thinks the Trinity consists of allah,Jesus and Mary i.e allah doesn’t seem to know what the Holy Spirit is or else doesn’t want muslims to know about it}
islamic “prophecies” are false…..muhammed was after all,even by his own admission and by the manner of his death,a false prophet.
{You Tube acts17apologetics who killed muhammed?}
Jayell says
All this is hardly surprising. Islam was always a totally-contrived, spurious ‘religious’ front organisation cobbled together from bits of other contemporary religions in order to promote Mohammed’s imperialist pseudo-political criminal ambitions amongst the uneducated and supersticious populations of the Dark Age Arabian peninsula. So, basically any old righteous-sounding garbage would do so long as it kept the masses quiet after all the rape, pillage, murder, destruction and grievous bodily harm. And you still see them trying it on today, as in (say) the 7/7, Manchester Arena and London Bridge outrages which were followed by the usual claims of ‘peacefulness’, ‘purity’ and offended righteous indignation at any criticism when even an intellectually-challenged baboon would understand what was really going on. And not a even the slightest recognition of the ignorant personal insults they were implying towards their hosts!
By the way, that term ‘muslim cleric’ always curls me up, with its implied image of some studious, respected academic person – when it really refers to a pretentious thug, like one of Al Capone’s henchmen masquerading in a dog collar.

Why Rome, Jim?
Because the four great urban centers of ancient Christianity were 1) Alexandria; 2) Antioch; 3) Constantinople; and 4) Rome.
Islam in the seventh century, due to institutional weakness between the Byzantine Empire (which controlled the first three cities I listed above) and the Sassanian Dynasty that ruled Persia, and who mutually enervated each other RIGHT BEFORE the Arabs came out of the Arabian Peninsula emboldened by Mo’s creed, allowed for the Muslim takeover of Alexandria and Antioch pretty much right away.
Muzzies, much later led by the Ottoman Turks, finally took over Constantinople in 1453 AD. Rome, the “Fourth City,” still remains to be taken though. As an aside here, the present Pope, arguably the worst pontifex maximus of the Roman Catholic Church in its 2,000 year history, is doing his best to insure that the “quest” by Islam to conquer all four great cities of ancient Christianity (which the narcissistic, brutal psychopath, one Mohammed, predicted) will eventually occur. Helps to explain, I might add, why I despise Pope (Poop?) Francis I.
But I digress.

Fine post.
gravenimage says
Muslims were obsessed with conquering Rome from the beginning–diminished as Rome was by Muhammed’s time, it still represented the greatest terrestrial empire.
It is also the last great target Muhammed himself had, Muslims being able to conquer the Persian and even Byzantine empires.
And now, Rome stands as shorthand for the West in general–not just Rome itself, but also London, Paris, and Washington.
Bazz12 says
Yes, exactly just that ! Hence the migration into Europe.
vaughn says
Could be because the first (of 7) Crusades to stop and eject muslims from stealing Christian lands in the middle east following hundreds of years of muslims encroachment was launched by Pope Urban II in 1029 a.d. Rome is the home of Catholicism and a huge prize for muslim payback. Three or four years ago I read an imam’s statement that “Rome is our next target.” The current Pope knows this. No way he doesn’t know it. He certainly acts as though he’s in league with islam.
mccode says
Conquest, or capitulation in the name of ‘compassion’ from today’s Vatican ?
TimothyS says
These things are determinative. The military and cultural advantages of the west are more than enough to resist Islamic invasions. Unlike Israel, we don’t understand what is at stake.
WPM says
The trouble in the west is appeasing leaders give in to Islam demands of sharia law, and the free flow of military age men”refugees ‘ by the millions flooding western cities as jihadist human time bombs. They are destroying our house from within with 5th columnist(progressive elected and non-elected EU leaders) ready to join forces with Islamics to over throw western culture, laws, government, freedom of speech .Many in western governments(and the current POPE and other non-Moslem western religious leaders)) believe in the myth of all western culture is an evil plot against “people of color”. Western culture and government has raised more people out of poverty both black ,white and Asian out of poverty in the last 200 years then any form of culture or government in previous 2000 years .Islam is a failed system of laws that has place millions of people into repressive poverty ,slavery, clan warfare, Islam has never left or changed the 7th century terror raiding society of bandit culture ,because according to Mohammed all its laws are perfect and cannot be changed. If we let it the cancer of Islam take hold on our culture and government ,even with the strongest of military, our form of culture ,government ,freedom could die from within.
GreekEmpress says
This video should be required viewing for anybody suffering from the delusion that Islam is a religion of peace.
Listening to the gloating over the fall of Constantinople made me sick.
Rarely says
Of course Constantinople had already been severely weakened by the Crusaders sacking it. Otherwise the muslim attack may have failed. So their most famous victory was with the unintended aid of the West (Crusaders), A tough pill to swallow no doubt.
Rarely says
A slight (?) exaggeration on my part to be sure but Constantinople had been severely damaged by the Crusaders, the Plague and a few other factors by the time the Ottomans conquered it.
CogitoErgoSum says
The Massacre of the Latins in 1182 might have had something to do with what the Crusaders did in 1204 to Constantinople also.
gravenimage says
The shameful sacking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade sure as hell didn’t help.
But it is also true that the Byzantine Empire had been under attack for over seven hundred years by Muslim armies, and most of her territory conquered, some long since, by the time they conquered Constantinople itself.
Of course, Rarely hopes we don’t know that.
CogitoErgoSum says
Why no black people in that crowd? Where is the diversity?

Muslim cleric: “By means of caliphate…your conquest, oh Rome, is a matter of certainty. Allahu akbar!”
……………………
But haven’t we been told that all Muslims reject the idea of a Caliphate? Of course, this has never been the case.

A hateful book for hateful, delusional people. Turn the clock back 1400 years? I don’t think so!
Tony Naim says
In the first 3 centuries of Christian history, the underground persecuted Church organized itself according to 5 Eparchies: Alexandria, Jerusalem, Antioch,Constantinople and Rome.
The first 4 cities have been capitulated by Islam.
That is why the focus is on Rome.
The overwhelming majority of westerners are ignorant of this fact.
This murderous cult of savages will know no end unless and until it is eradicated.

That is a public declaration of hate and war!
