Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There are those who praise the lands of the disbelievers and say that there is more justice in them than in the lands of the Muslims, and that people are equal among them. He asks: What is the ruling on such statements?
Answer:
This is like those about whom Allah said:[An-Nisa 4:51] [An-Nisa 4:52] We ask Allah for well-being. The fact that the disbelievers are preferred over the Muslims is settled by this verse. Yes. The Muslims are better than the disbelievers, no matter what. A Muslim is better than a disbeliever, no matter what. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There are those who praise the lands of the disbelievers and say that there is more justice in them than in the lands of the Muslims, and that people are equal among them. He asks: What is the ruling on such statements?
Answer:
This is like those about whom Allah said:
and say about the disbelievers, "These are better guided than the believers as to the way"?
وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَىٰ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًاThose are the ones whom Allah has cursed; and he whom Allah curses - never will you find for him a helper.
أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَمَن يَلْعَنِ اللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ نَصِيرًا
