Question:
A questioner says: What is the guidance of Your Excellency (may Allah preserve you) for the one who has been overcome by despair over the state of the Muslim community and the influence that the people of desire have gained in the various media outlets?
Answer:
No, this despair is not permissible. It is not permissible.[Yusuf 12:87] [Al-Hijr 15:56] So we do not despair and we do not abandon the attempt to remove evil. We do not leave it; rather, we try and do what we can. Allah is with us (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah is with us if we are sincere. We do not surrender and despair; this is not permissible. Yes.

Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."
إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَAnd who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
وَمَن يَقْنَطُ مِن رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهِ إِلَّا الضَّالُّونَ
