The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : In some books now, they describe this century we are living in as being in an age of ignorance greater than the first age of ignorance. Is this expression correct, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, this is an exaggeration. I say that describing this century as greater than the first age of ignorance may be an exaggeration, and it may be true in some aspects. For example, in some aspects, such as communism, their age of ignorance is greater.
The questioner : They describe the lands of the Muslims, they describe the lands of the Muslims.
