Is there anyone today to whom the hadith “callers at the gates of Hell” applies?

Question:
The questioner says: It was reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that in the last of times there will be , and that they are of our skin and speak with our tongues. The question is: Do these people exist today?

Answer:
Yes, this hadith is in Sahih al-Bukhari and others. It states that there will be callers to misguidance; there will be callers to misguidance for the sake of trial and testing. They are of our kind, from among us, from our tribes and our countries, and they may even be our relatives.
Callers to misguidance who call people to misguidance, to bid'ah (religious innovations), to shirk (associating partners with Allah), and to worshipping graves other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). How many of them there are! They are numerous in this time, calling people to consider the haram (forbidden) permissible. They make the prohibited permissible in the name of expansion and in the name of keeping pace with the states, and so on. They claim that prohibiting the prohibited is rigidity and restriction on people. They make lawful what Allah has forbidden and forbid what Allah has made lawful in order to keep pace with the world. These people exist now in large numbers, especially through the media and satellite channels. Many call to misguidance and make shirk, bid'ah, and newly invented matters attractive to people. This is widespread and present. Yes.
