Is the second "haughtiness" mentioned in the verse "you will surely cause corruption in the land twice" what is happening now?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

What the questioner mentioned is not from the words of the verse. Allah Almighty indeed informed in Surah Al-Isra' about the corruption of the Children of Israel on earth twice, and each time He sent those who would punish them. The exegetes have differed in identifying these servants whom Allah sent; some said Goliath and Nebuchadnezzar. And His saying, "And if you return, We will return," means if they return to corruption, Allah will return to empowering those who will humble them. Some interpreted this to mean that Allah empowered the believers and Muhammad, peace be upon him, over them. Victory over the Jews is coming, as Muslim narrated in his Sahih a Hadith from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, confirming that.
