Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to supplicate for the total annihilation of the Jews and Christians?
Answer:
Allah is Wise and All-Knowing. If He had willed, He would have annihilated them completely. But there is a wisdom in their continued existence; there is a wisdom in their continued existence. So you supplicate against the oppressors and the transgressors; you supplicate against the oppressors and the transgressors among the Jews and others. But that Allah annihilates them completely, so that not a single Jew remains and not a single Christian remains, this contradicts the divine wisdom in their continued existence. Allah kept them for a wisdom, Glorified and Exalted is He. And He is capable of annihilating them in an instant. But He kept them for a wisdom, for the trial and the test.
