Question:
A questioner says: It was mentioned to us that Allah’s victory for the believers is not for one group to the exclusion of another, but rather it is general for all groups. How do we reconcile this with the fact that Allah’s victory is for one specific group, which is called the Victorious Group?
Answer:
Yes, they are the Victorious Group, and it includes everyone who possesses this description. The Victorious Group is not limited to a specific number; rather, everyone who possesses these characteristics is included in the Victorious Group. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
