How can the return of faith to Medina be reconciled with the descent of Jesus (peace be upon him) in Egypt, and the raising of every believing soul before the Hour?

Faith will retreat to Medina in all ages, as indicated by authentic hadiths. As for Jesus, peace be upon him, he will descend at the white minaret east of Damascus, remain on Earth for forty years, then pass away, and Muslims will pray over him. It has been reported that he will be buried in Medina or in Syria. The strength of Muslims at the end of time will be in the Levant. As for Egypt, it is not mentioned in the concerning these epics, except that Jesus, peace be upon him, will fortify the believers at Mount طور from Gog and Magog.
