The ruling on linking the victory of the Muslims over the Jews to the day when stones and trees will speak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, I read for some of them that the Muslims will not achieve victory until that day arrives about which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, namely the day when stones and trees will speak. Is their statement correct? And is the victory of the Muslims over the Jews in the end times linked to that?
Answer:
No, this statement of theirs is not correct. This is despair of the mercy of Allah the Exalted. If the Muslims seek help from Allah the Exalted and their word is united upon Islam, they will achieve victory by the permission of Allah, just as those before them achieved victory. So the matter is linked to their return to Allah, their cooperation among themselves, and their jihad against the enemies of Allah in any time and any place. Who says that this will not happen except at such and such a time? What is the evidence for that? This is close to despair of the mercy of Allah.
