Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the stronger position regarding the land of the gathering? Is it other than the earth of this world, due to His saying, the Exalted:[Ibrahim 14:48], or is it the same earth?
Answer:
It is this same earth, but it is changed, as you heard: it is changed and extended, the mountains, elevations, and buildings are removed, and it is no longer what it was. The changing of the earth is not a change to a second earth, but a change of its form and appearance. Yes.
