Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that his companion said that one of them stated that the jurists’ convention that this is a land of disbelief and that is a land of Islam is a psychological map that must be changed, and that the world has now become great powers that lead it. What is your opinion regarding this?
Answer:
And you hear all that is said. Leave these sayings alone. Leave them. What does not come from known scholars of knowledge, do not engage with their sayings and do not be troubled by them. This is among the superstitions and empty talk, and speaking about Allah without knowledge. Do not be troubled by such talk at all.
It is well known that the division of lands into a land of Islam and a land of disbelief is from ancient times. Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Kufr are known to Muslims and in the books of fiqh. Then a madman or an ignorant person comes at the end of time and says, “Erase this division,” and he troubles them. He says, “We do not erase it.” Your mind is erased. You are erased by something.
