Tolkien Represents the Prophecy on Evil from the Sky Reaching the Wilderness

In the original Islamic Endtimes prophecies that Tolkien took from, there is an explicit warning of an evil pouring down on the Muslims/Freemen of Middle Earth/Middle East from the sky, so much that if one sought refuge in the deserted wilds it would reach there. Such reports are part of the original Prophetic narrative that Tolkien appropriated from.
 

Tolkien represented this theme in his work in multiple ways, which the Peter Jackson films explicitly illustrate in several places. Tolkien’s symbolism is in the form of the many winged spies of Saruman/Dajjal watching Frodo/Mahdi and the Company of the Ring.

 

Gandalf/Khidr to Frodo/Mahdi: “The Enemy has many spies in his service; birds and beasts. [to Frodo] Is it safe? Never put it on, for then the agents of the Dark Lord will be drawn to its power.”
From minute 2:03 to 2:32 of this clip you can see Saruman’s aerial spies, the Crebain, detecting The Company of the Ring in the furthest wilderness, and their race to seek cover.

 

 

In this scene Saruman’s aerial spies, the Crebain, report the results of their reconnaissance to him.

 

 

This is also represented in the form of the Fell Beasts of the Nazgul/Ringwraiths, whose destructive power casts terror in the heart of characters at multiple points in the films.

In this scene you see the flying beasts of the Nazgul causing terror, panic, and destruction.

Unlike earlier forms of aerial warfare Drones can remain aloft for days on end, circling and spying on territory from miles away watching for movement and changes, without needing to land or re-fuel.

 

The original Arabic text of the 1400 year old prophecy is pictured below. Just like Gandalf led Frodo/Mahdi and his companions into the wild, but were unable to avoid Saruman’s and Sauron’s airborne detection or the fear it causes.
