Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it true that some people say that animals and inanimate objects are better in the sight of Allah than the sinners among the Muslims?
Answer:
No, there is no evidence for this; it is a statement with no basis. The sinners among the Muslims possess tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and they possess faith; this is the foundation by which they will enter Paradise, even if they are punished. They have the foundation of tawhid, but they have wronged themselves, as the Exalted said: [Fathir: 32].
Q: Are they better than the disbelievers?
The Shaykh: Without a doubt; inanimate objects are better than the disbelievers.
