Why does God not send a messenger now, especially since most of the shaykhs have become hypocrites, to send to Israel and America to destroy them if they do not believe, and what is the wisdom in not sending a messenger now?

We ask Allah for success in what pleases Him and for our hearts to be opened to the truth. It is not permissible to accuse most shaykhs of hypocrisy without evidence, for "do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge." And even though some of those who claim to have knowledge may fall into practical hypocrisy, not the hypocrisy of shirk (polytheism), this does not mean that righteousness and uprightness are absent from the people of knowledge and religion.

Goodness will remain in the Ummah until the end of time, and a group will continue to uphold Allah's command. The wisdom behind sending messengers is to invite, convey, clarify the truth, and establish proof against people, not merely to destroy those who disbelieve. Allah perfected this by sending Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the Quran.

The need for a new prophet after Muhammad (peace be upon him) ceased because his message is universal, his teachings have been completely preserved, and Allah's proofs against people have been established through the Quran and the Sunnah. Those who disbelieve are subjected to calamities and trials so that they may be admonished and take heed.
