Is the United
States or America, or England mentioned in any Islamic texts under a
different name? What do Islamic prophecies say about these
countries? Also, shouldn't the name "Superpower" be used
only for God? Thank you for your assistance.
Whilst many of the
events preceding the day of judgment are mentioned (in fairly
general terms) in the Qur'an and Hadith, including references to a
final confrontation between believers and disbelievers, there is no
specific mention of any of the countries or persons playing a part
in these events. As for the term superpower, it does certainly
contain an element of arrogance which would not be displayed by
sincere believers. Allah, the Powerful, is the ultimate and only
final power, and He ensures that people keep each other in check, He
does not aid the oppressor, and He never lets any group gain
absolute domination. There have been many great civilisations and
powers in history, but none was permitted to exceed certain
limitations, and none escaped its decline after reaching its peak.
