The Continuation of the Excellence of This Ummah in Enjoining Good

Question:
This questioner says: Allah the Exalted said: Is this excellence still present in this Ummah? We ask for guidance.

Answer:
As for the one who connected with this, a group of the truth is still victorious, a remnant still remains, but they are not all of it. That is, some in it perform this duty, and some in it have disobeyed, and people are few in number even if you desire, [to be] believers. But the group remains until the day the sun rises from the west, and the group exists until the sweet wind comes and takes the souls of the believers. So it remains a group until the sweet wind comes at the end of time, connected to this [path] of faith in Allah, and enjoining good, and forbidding evil, even if it is few. It may gather together, it may be in many countries, it may be in one region, and it may be in multiple regions, as is the case today in Najd, and in the Hijaz, and in the Maghreb, and in America, and in every place, there are groups, and praise be to Allah, that exist, believing in Allah and the Last Day.
