Question:
In his second question he says: Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:41] Does this indicate that the scholars will die when the earth is depleted, or does the meaning of the verse differ from that?
Answer:
Yes, the verse has been interpreted in two ways. The first interpretation is that the intended meaning of "diminishing it from its edges" is the death of scholars. The second interpretation is that the intended meaning of "diminishing it from its edges" is through the Islamic conquests that spread across the regions of the inhabited world, and people entered into the religion of Allah in large numbers. This is among the lessons, and the verse is general for this and that. Yes.
