Visuals on the Future of Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: How do you view the future of Islam in the face of the various currents, ideologies, and schools of thought that harbor hostility toward it?
A: I see that Islam will, by the permission of Allah, triumph over those currents and false sects with which the world has been afflicted in our present age, and that all the cunning hostility directed at Islam to undermine it and displace it from leading the world will, in the end, by the permission of Allah the Exalted, return upon the necks of its perpetrators. This is because Allah, Glorious is His Majesty, has guaranteed the preservation of the Noble Qur'an, which is the great foundation of Islam, as He, the Exalted, says: [Al-Hijr: 9].
And Allah, the Exalted—praise and grace belong to Him—has prepared supporters for His religion, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1920, and in another narration: Sahih al-Bukhari 71. And what gives hope for what we have mentioned is the spread, in the Islamic world and elsewhere, of movements that advocate following the Book and the Sunnah and proceeding upon them.
Moreover, those principles and schools of thought, such as Western communism and capitalism, and other schools of thought promoted today by their proponents, have been proven by experience to be false and failed, and that they do not bring happiness to humanity but rather harm it in its religion, morals, and economy, since they are the product of humans, whose nature is deficiency, ignorance, and desire, as Allah, the Exalted, said: [Al-Nisa: 82].
Humanity has begun to look left and right, hoping to find a sound methodology that will save it from the abyss into which all aspects of its life have fallen, and Islam alone is capable of saving humanity from those perils. Humanity will, by the permission of Allah, discover that truth, whether soon or later, as Allah, the Exalted, said: [Al-Ra'd: 17].
Our speech here is about pure Islam, free from the impurities of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and bid'ah (religious innovation), which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Companions, and the righteous Salaf (the earliest generations) after him adopted. They succeeded and triumphed, they conquered the lands, and they guided the people to the path of guidance and the shore of safety. And Allah is the One who grants success.

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَAnd Allah, the Exalted—praise and grace belong to Him—has prepared supporters for His religion, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A group of people from my Umma will always remain triumphant on the right path and continue to be triumphant (against their opponents). He who deserts them shall not be able to do them any harm. They will remain in this position until Allah's Command is executed
لاتزال طائفة من أمتي على الحق منصورة لا يضرهم من خذلهم حتى يأتي أمر اللهthey will not be harmed by any one going on a different path till Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established
لا يضرهم من خالفهم حتى تقوم الساعةMoreover, those principles and schools of thought, such as Western communism and capitalism, and other schools of thought promoted today by their proponents, have been proven by experience to be false and failed, and that they do not bring happiness to humanity but rather harm it in its religion, morals, and economy, since they are the product of humans, whose nature is deficiency, ignorance, and desire, as Allah, the Exalted, said:
If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.
وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلافًا كَثِيرًاHumanity has begun to look left and right, hoping to find a sound methodology that will save it from the abyss into which all aspects of its life have fallen, and Islam alone is capable of saving humanity from those perils. Humanity will, by the permission of Allah, discover that truth, whether soon or later, as Allah, the Exalted, said:
As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples.
فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً وَأَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَOur speech here is about pure Islam, free from the impurities of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and bid'ah (religious innovation), which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his Companions, and the righteous Salaf (the earliest generations) after him adopted.
