The Meaning of Allah Being Worshipped in Every Time and the Establishment of the Hour
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The One worshipped in every time. How could there be a time in which Allah is not worshipped, when the Hour will not be established except upon non-Muslims?
Answer:
Yes, and therefore, when the earth is emptied of those who worship Allah, the Hour will be established and the time of this world will end. The time of this world will end because worship is in this world, and deeds are in this world. As for the Hereafter, it is a dwelling of recompense, not a dwelling of deeds. So deeds are only in this world. When those who worship Allah are lost from this world, it will be desolate and the Resurrection will occur. For this reason, it came in the hadith:

The Hour will not be established while there is anyone on the earth who says, "Allah, Allah."
لا تقوم الساعة وفي الأرض من يقول الله الله.
