Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Ali 'Imran 3:12] In this verse: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is a servant to whom the commands are directed, as He said: He is a servant who is not worshipped, and a Messenger who does not lie. It also indicates the importance of this command or this news that Allah ordered His Prophet to convey to the disbelievers. Among its benefits: strengthening the believers, as it is said to their disbelieving enemies: You will be defeated in this world, and you have no outcome in the Hereafter, for you will be gathered into Hell.

[Al-Mujadila 58:21] [Ghafir 40:51] So if we were to return to faith truly in creed, speech, action, morals, etiquette, and all that pertains to the Islamic Shari'ah, the disbelievers would be defeated before us. This is witnessed by the reality that occurred with the Salaf of this Ummah, where they possessed the east and west of the earth. Among the benefits of the noble verse: establishing the punishment of the Fire, as He said: This is a matter established in the Book and the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslims, and whoever denies it has committed disbelief. Among the benefits of the noble verse: that the destination of the sin, indeed the ultimate destination of the sin, is the Fire, as He said:
