Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When you said that the world has now become like a small village, I feared that this might be a cause of evil, O Shaykh. Yes, indeed. Or a fear. I feared that. Yes, when he says, when I said that the world has now become like a small village, I said I fear that this might be a cause of evil. He says: Even though the good deeds and benefits of this world and its development serve Islam with a great service, what is the reason for that fear? May Allah grant you success.
Answer:
What we see is that we have seen nothing but evil now, and the spread of evil and falsehood. This is what we see now; the majority and the most prevalent is the spread of falsehood, and the spread of truth is little. If it were the other way around, this statement would be correct, but we complain to Allah.
