Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The righteous ones: Wadd, Suwa', and Yaghuth, were they in the time of Noah or before him?

Answer:
In the time of Noah.
Q: When they were alive?
A: They existed in the time of Noah, and their existence was before Noah, but they were present in his time, and then they remained among the people. We ask Allah for well-being.
Q: There is a hadith that they will return and be worshipped, these very idols?
A: No, in the authentic hadith:
The Hour (Resurrection) will not occur until 'Allah, Allah' is not said on earth.لا تقوم الساعةُ حتى لا يُقال في الأرض: الله، الله
Sahih Muslim 148a
meaning: until shirk (associating partners with Allah) becomes widespread—we ask Allah for well-being—them and others, if they are found, if anything of them is found, meaning: the lands will be filled with shirk—we ask Allah for well-being—after faith is removed from the hearts of the people. Then Allah will send a pleasant wind that will take the souls of the believers, so that no one remains but the disbelievers, and upon them the Hour will be established. We ask Allah for well-being.
