Combining the Victory of Islam in the End Times with the Occurrence of the Hour upon the Worst of People
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the reconciliation between the hadith that Islam will be victorious in the end times, and the hadith that the Hour will occur upon the worst of people?
The Shaykh:
There is no contradiction between the two hadiths. And what does the hadith say?
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, it says that Islam will be victorious in the end times.
The Shaykh:
The end times, he did not say at the occurrence of the Hour. The end times are before the occurrence of the Hour. The Qur'an will be lifted up in the end times, and there will remain on the face of the earth no one who says "Allah, Allah"; only disbelievers will remain, and the Hour will occur upon them. As for the people of faith, a pleasant wind will come to them and take their souls before that.
