Since the debate of this thread has dragged on till now therefore I should add one dimension to this issue. By treading on this course I hope we will be able to locate the tracks of this issue that why the major faiths of the world, including Islam, have the urge of a Messiah / saviour of their fortunes in the last stages of this world, in which we are definitely in by the way.
- The course of these events of the world does have any purpose and end or not?
- If someone responds with an affirmative answer then what design and shapes will these current events will take place by considering the past and present causes of these events and their internal currents?
- According to the design of Friedrich Hegels shaping of universal and world events which force /s can play their part in his famous course of Thesis-Antithesis & Synthesis?
- Does Holy Quran and any other divine scripture guides us for the eventuality of these events of our world in an explicit or implicit manner or not?
I hope when we can debate on the roadmap with the four pointers indicated in above section then we might get to the logical reasoning of the need of giving an influential & charismatic saviour of mankind in End Times.

It is pity that no one attended to your valuable post. I myself have been busy in "kid traffic". Anyhow
your first question is "Why the urge".
It is due to the compromising and fragile nature of humans. They themselves know their weaknesses
They know that they are doing wrong. But wish to remain in the hope that someone as "Savior" will emerge
for them.
In your post your second very strong word is "Events", I really do not know what you mean by this.
If events are our day to day happenings. Then these are going to remain same with different degree of
veracity in them. Because Lord has created Goodness and Evil and these two factors are of utmost
importance in human lives and these lives evolve around these two things. Unfortunately or fortunately
we have been brought up in an environment wherein it is being constantly stated that a day will come
a savior will come, all kafreen, mushraykeen, and other than Muslims will be eliminated. only Islam
will remain or muslims will remain and then the day of judgement will come. If we go deep into\
Quran, perhaps the scenario is different, the status quo will be till the earth will start shaking.
sorry again to attend your post late.
