Explanation that the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is universal for all of the two groups, and that his Shari'ah is suitable for every time and place

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For this reason, the Shari'ah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is universal for all of humanity, indeed for both humans and jinn, until the Day of Resurrection. The other prophets had limited Shari'ahs, but the Shari'ah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not limited. For this reason as well, the Islamic Shari'ah is suitable for every time and place, and for every nation from the time of the Prophet's mission until the Day of Resurrection. It is suitable for every place, from Makkah al-Mukarramah to the farthest reaches of the world. It is suitable for every nation, whether Arab or non-Arab. This Islamic religion is not only suitable for them, but it also reforms them. If the Muslim community were to hold fast to the religion of Islam, to the guidance and instructions found in the Book of Allah, to what came in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and to the way of the righteous predecessors, no power would ever overcome them. This is because Allah said:
It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth هو الذي أرسل سوله بالهدى ودين الحق
For what reason?
The student: So that He may make it prevail over all religions

The Shaykh :
to manifest it over all religion ليظهره على الدين كله
[At-Tawbah 9:33]
This religion must prevail, but only if those who hold fast to it are united. As for us, we are a divided nation, where every faction is pleased with what is with them. Therefore, victory will not be written for them, as Allah the Exalted said:
And obey Allah and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. وأطيعوا الله ورسوله ولا تنازعوا فتفشلوا وتذهب ريحكم واصبروا إن الله مع الصابرين
[Al-Anfal 8:46]
Be patient, be patient in your religion, and if you are afflicted in the religion of Allah, then be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient; He supports them, helps them, and makes them firm. I ask Allah to make me and you among the patient. The point is, any person, even if he claims to be among the awliya (close friends of Allah) and says that revelation is sent to him, what do we say to him? We say: You have lied, and you have lied to the Qur'an. You are not a close friend of Allah, but you are among the enemies of Allah, because you say what is contrary to what Allah and His Messenger said.
