Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, and may He bless you and benefit you with your knowledge. A questioner says: Some preachers apply the hadith, "When trust is lost, wait for the Hour," to our current reality and accuse our rulers of it. Is it correct to apply this hadith to the reality of today?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Our reality, in general, is good and fine, and praise be to Allah. The positions are in the hands of trustworthy people. If there is some negligence or if mistakes are found sometimes, this does not mean that the affairs of the state in general are wrong, or that matters have been entrusted to those who are not qualified. Rather, there are many good people to whom matters have been entrusted, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
