The questioner : He says in his letter regarding the Islamic da'wah in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : Did it reach the European countries and others, what was their stance toward it, and how was it conveyed to them?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Our answer to this question is that the da'wah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his time did not reach the European countries; rather, it was only in the Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings. However, it spread to the Western countries afterward, and it will reach all parts of the world, because this message is universal, so the argument will be established against all the people of the earth regarding this message.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And whoever dies among them before the message of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reaches him, he is judged in this world by the ruling of disbelievers. As for the Hereafter, his affair is in the hands of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The strongest opinion in my view regarding this and similar cases is that they will be tested on the Day of Resurrection with whatever Allah (Mighty and Majestic) wills, and their reward will be the result of this test that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His praise will.
The questioner : Yes.
