Does the divine descent occur exclusively in the land of Muslims?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : It is specific to the place where the Muslims are.

Answer : Allah knows best. The hadith is general. It does not say that our Lord descends to the lowest heaven to listen to the people of the earth, the Muslims; the hadith is general. Perhaps there is among the disbelievers one who is in dire necessity, and the one in dire necessity responds to Allah’s call even if he is a disbeliever.
