Conclusion
The above brief descriptions are a mere summary and brief exemplary exposé of centuries of subversion of the once pure message of Islam. Its purpose is to alert sincere believers to the political abuse their religion is often subjected to. Although the information appears overwhelming, knowledge is an essential weapon in the attempt to reclaim Islam from those who have tried to distort it, and there is no reason to be despondent in the face of those attempts. As it is clearly put in the Qur'an: The magician does not succeed, no matter where he goes271, and: Truth is clearly separated from falsehood272. The roll-back of a long history of occult interference in human affairs may ultimately require the leadership of the Mahdi and Jesus, the Messiah, but their future followers must be nonetheless prepared to constitute, as described in a Hadith in the collection of Abu Daud, a camp of faith in which there will be no hypocrisy, opposing a camp of hypocrisy in which there will be no faith. This is when the time of the Dajjal, the great liar, the false Messiah, will be over. "Say, truth has come and falsehood has vanished, for falsehood must vanish.”273
