Explanation of the author's statement: (… and if the sword falls upon them, it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection)

The Shaykh : If I had a supplication that would be answered, I would direct it to the ruler, for in his righteousness lies the righteousness of the community. In his righteousness lies the righteousness of the community. This is clear, so here "imams" includes the imams of the Shari'ah, authority, and power.

Allah is the Greatest! This is one of the signs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): if the sword falls upon them, it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection. This is a reality that has occurred, for when the sword fell upon this community, it was not lifted; fighting continued among them. Yes, and since the killing of the third caliph, 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), evil has opened up, and the community has come to kill one another, take one another captive, and destroy one another. Then he said: . Yes.
