All praises and thanks be to Allah by Whose Grace righteous deeds are perfected and may the Blessings and Peace of Allah be ever bestowed upon Muhammad, the tutor of righteousness to mankind, its guide to the right path and the leader of creation to truth; our master and Imam, our role model and our beloved one and upon his family, his Companions and those who sincerely follow them till the Day of Recompense.

Now then…

This thesis discusses (The Auspices of the Ultimate Victory of Islam), and I believe that discussing such an issue is necessary – especially nowadays – for more than one reason:

 It is necessary because generally we are ordered to inspire hope, not to arouse aversion, just as we are ordered to ease matters, and not render them difficult.

When the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) sent Mu‘âdh bin Jabal and Abu Mûsâ Al-Ash‘ary (may Allah be pleased with them) to Yemen, he enjoined them with the following comprehensive and concise piece of advice (saying): “Ease (religious) matters and do not render them difficult, give glad tidings and do not cause aversion (towards Islam), and be in accord.” Moreover, his companion and servant, Anas bin Mâlik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he instructed the entire nation with the same words he gave to Mu‘âdh and Abu Mûsâ (may Allah be pleased with them), saying: “Ease (religious) matters and do not render them difficult, and give glad tidings and do not cause aversion (towards Islam).”

I thank Allah that this is the course that He has guided me to adopting when issuing Fatwa and propagating Islam. For in the domain of Fatwa, I adhered to the precept that religious matters should be facilitated rather than made difficult.

Whereas, in the domain of propagating Islam, I endeavored to inspire hope, and avoided causing disheartenment, verily to Allah is owed all thanksgiving and gratitude.

It is also necessary because Muslims generally, and those dedicated to the service of Islam specifically, are currently living through a critical period in their history; this period is overcome by the begetters of despair and feelings of frustration.

When souls surrender to such feelings, they kill in them the strength of will, benumb the fixity of purpose, and destruct ambition. Indeed, such values are what motivate the willpower to act and strive hard.

The instigators of such somber feelings are the successive blows that are aimed – viciously and cunningly – by the enemies of Islam – at the Islamic arousal and the Islamic movement, while harboring a design upon Islam; namely, to extinguish its light, abort its progress and deaden its wakefulness.

In pursuit of this end, they resorted to some Muslim rulers, within whom they inspired the fear of such an arousal, incited them against the devotees and ordered them to suppress the call to Islam.

Regretfully, they won those rulers who fear that the victory of Islam may deprive them of fulfilling their desires, dispossess them of their illegitimate gains and arouse the people against them to indict them for their crimes.

It is also necessary because the forces hostile to Islam intend to declare – in fact, have already declared – a psychological war against the Muslims to make them lose hope for a better tomorrow and faith in a brighter future.

 Furious campaigns have flared, motivated by fevered hearts, led by hired pens and subjugated spokesmen that condemn, blemish and distort all that is Islamic, accusing the preachers of Islam and the offspring of the Islamic arousal of extremism and violence sometimes, terrorism at other times, and fundamentalism time and again.

 Detractors named the movement for an integrated Islam “Political Islam” because it called for beliefs to be in league with the shari‘ah [Islamic Law], and religion to be in league with the state. In fact, true Islam is essentially political.

Therefore, we have to resist such antagonistic campaigns with a counter weapon, that is by spreading the hope for the ultimate victory of Islam, reviving faith in its future, and saturating the souls of the future generation with such a ray that dispels the darkness of despair and the fogs of frustration.

Furthermore, it is necessary because there is a misconception concerning the End of Time, or in other words, the future of the nation, that is circulated among many pious servants, which has lead to a feeling that it is a future nearly dark, if not pitch- dark.

This misconception is based upon a prevalent misunderstanding of some hadiths that were mentioned in the context of discussing seditions, warfare and the portents of the Last Hour, but such conceptions are flawed.

Therefore, we have to clarify the reality of the Auspices, that elude many, based on: the Noble Qur’an, the sanctified Sunnah, the great rich history, the present state of affairs, and the firmly established Laws of Allah for which you will find no substitute, nor will you find aught of power to change.

Every preacher of Islam must be certain of the Promise of Allah, The Most Exalted, and must be full of hope with respect to the future of His last celestial Message (Islam) to mankind, and His eternal religious Call.

Dismissing despair, which is inherent to disbelief, and despondency, which is a sign of going astray.

Furthermore, we all have witnessed the martyr Hassan Al-Bannâ, in whose heart the gleam of hope never died down even during the hardest times.

Indeed, endless were the articles he wrote that revived hope and inspired faith, and ever and again did he state that the realities of today were the dreams of yesterday, and the dreams of today would be the realities of tomorrow!

The martyr Sayyid Qutb also wrote down his book entitled [The Future Belongs To This Religion (Islam)], and all sincere preachers should follow his example.

So let us hope for the best, and wish for the best:

Almighty Allah says in his Noble Book what means:

“And say [(O Muhammad) to these polytheists and pagans etc.]: ‘All the praises and thanks be to Allah. He will show you His Ayât (signs, in yourselves, and in the universe or punishments, etc.), and you shall recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.’” (An- Naml, 27: 93)

Many Muslim preachers discuss the End of Time and the hadiths of seditions, warfare and the portents of the Last Hour in a way that suggests, in brief, that disbelief is growing stronger and Islam is abating; that evil is triumphing and goodness is being defeated; that vicious people are the victorious, whereas virtuous people and the advocators of righteousness are vanquished.

Which means that there is no hope for a change or faith in setting things aright. That we are moving from bad to worse, and from worse to the worst, for no day elapses but its morrow is still eviler, until the Last Hour befalls.

Undoubtedly, this is a grave mistake that arises from a misconception of what is stated in some partial text passages combined with an omission of many conclusive crystal-clear auspices that the future belongs to Islam and Allah will surely make that religion superior over all other religions, however deeply averse disbelievers are to it.

Therefore, we must discuss these (Auspices) and spread them amongst the Muslims, in order to inspire hope that motivates willpower and defeat despair that kills souls.

Thanks to Allah these auspices are many. Some of them are quoted from the Noble Qur’an and the Sunnah, while others are derived from history, the actual time and the Laws of Allah in His Creation.

We shall discuss each of these auspices in the next pages as Allah may bestow.

Auspices of the Ultimate Victory of Islam

The Glorious Qur’ân heralds the first of these auspices: the Promise Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, made to his believing servants; His Promise to grant victory to Islam and perfect its light however deeply hostile the disbelievers are to it, and cause it to prevail over all other religions however deeply hostile the infidels are to it.

In the context of discussing the enemies of Islam from the infidels and the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) who have distorted their religion and have taken their rabbis and their monks to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and those who devour people’s wealth wrongfully (bribery, etc.) and those who debar men from the Path of Allah, we recite from Surat At-Tawbah, the noble Qur’anic verse in which The Most Exalted says:

The noble Qur’anic verses say what means:

“They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah’s Light (with which Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has been sent – Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it).

 It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it).” (At-Tawbah, 9: 32-33
