Combining the Manifestation of Shirk with the Hadiths of Satan’s Despair
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Did shirk (associating partners with Allah) not manifest in this land before the call of Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) and after it, and before the Third Saudi State? How do we reconcile this with the hadiths that Satan has despaired?
Answer:
We answered this at the beginning of the lesson: This is a report about Satan that he is the one who has despaired. It is not a denial of the worship of Satan, but rather a report from Satan that when he saw the honor of Islam, despair overtook him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
