?By Allaah the Khawaarij were never a jamaa?ah (united body), except that Allaah split them up into their worse condition. Nor has anyone of them opened his mouth except that Allaah smote him on his neck. Never has the Ummah united under a man from the Khawaarij. If Allaah had given the Khawaarij authority then the world have certainly been corrupted, the roads would be closed , thus the Pilgrimage (hajj) would cease. Then what was once Islaam would end as jaahiliyyah (ignorance). Until the people would wind up beseeching the mountaintops as they did in the time of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance). And at that time there would arise more than ten or twenty men, there would not be one among them, except he would claim to be the Caliph. Each one of them would possess ten thousand fighting men, fighting each other, attesting to one another?s disbelief.  A believing man will become fearful for himself, his Religion, blood, family, and money; not knowing where he will be, or with whom he is with.?
