The Iraqi Popular Mobilization is an extension of the conspiracy of the Popular Mobilization Forces
Space for Time
History’s pages tell us that in the late era of the Rightly Guided Caliphate, and after the assassination of the three Rightly Guided Caliphs—Umar, Uthman, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them and grant them paradise)—the “Revolt of the Provinces” groups emerged. These were covertly planted mobs that rose up against our master Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) until he was martyred. This group continued to stoke sedition during the caliphate of our master Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) until his own martyrdom. This period haunted the caliphs who succeeded the Rightly Guided era, eliminating our master Hasan ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) as well.
When our master Husayn ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) confronted their abominable sedition, they conspired against him and killed him. After the caliphate transitioned to the Umayyad era, the great sedition continued to plague the Arab Islamic state and its Arab caliphs until the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate.
This was a long history of conflict among the peoples of the provinces, extending until the fall of Baghdad and the end of the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad in 1258 CE at the hands of the Mongols, led by Hulagu Khan.
When we review the history of seditions that befell Iraq, the Arabs, and Muslims, we find that the Persians are behind all of it.
Today, those who stoke sedition and rebellion against the political system in Iraq and across the entire Arab region, who employ outsiders, and who mobilize to destabilize security and order and to confuse matters, are undoubtedly the same “Revolt of the Provinces” sedition that was used in the past to assert that their revenge was justified, and that Islam is their alleged and counterfeit slogan—a misleading political cover, as they have strayed from the straight path.
This is the practice they followed in the “Revolt of the Provinces” since 768 years ago, when the Abbasid Caliphate fell as a result of their conspiracies, and up to our present day in 2026.
These are the pages of history, and today we await the results of this conspiracy... Will the end of 2026 mark the end of the century’s sedition?
