The Meaning of the Worst of Creation Upon Whom the Hour Will Rise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, the father. The questioner says: The hadith that was transmitted regarding the fact that the Hour will not rise except upon the worst of creation—so are the worst of creation the disbelievers, or are they the sinners among the believers?
The Shaykh:
The worst of creation are the disbelievers. They are the disbelievers; because at the end of time, when the Hour rises, the Qur'an will be lifted, the Sunnah will be lifted, and the people will remain in evil and in pitch darkness. They will not know what is right, nor will they denounce what is wrong. And as in the hadith, there will remain on earth no one who says "Allah, Allah." The Hour will rise upon them, and may Allah protect us from that. Indeed,Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:461 and those who build mosques over graves, these are the worst of people, and may Allah protect us from that, as in the hadith.
The presenter:
Peace be upon you, and peace and the mercy of Allah.
The Shaykh:
The believers, their souls will be taken before the Hour rises. Allah will send a gentle wind that will take the soul of every believing man and woman, and the worst of creation will remain, and upon them the Hour will rise.

the worst of people are those whom the Hour overtakes while they are still alive
