The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: “Do they not see that We come to the earth and diminish it from its edges”

His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Anbiya:
Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders?أَفَلا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا
[Al-Anbiya: 44]?

The meaning of this noble verse: That Allah comes to the earth and diminishes it from its edges by the Muslims overcoming the disbelievers,Therefore, he said after that:
Are they the ones who will prevail?أَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ
[Al-Anbiya: 44] So Allah the Exalted comes to the earth by empowering His messengers over the disbelievers until they conquer it, land by land.
