The question

How can there be salvation in the current situation, where nations are ganging up on Muslims, their brethren are abandoning them, whims are pulling them in different directions, alongside ignorance, the marginalization of people, the scarcity of callers (du’at) who follow the correct methodology, and the shortcomings of scholars?

The answer

Salvation and triumph in this world and the hereafter are attained by adhering to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. Therefore, those who are afflicted and distressed must hold fast to the rope of Allah, learn His religion and act upon it, follow the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, strive for unity and togetherness, and abandon division. They must also embrace patience and persistence in supplication and remembrance of Allah, and know that good and evil are in the hands of Allah, and that all of His decrees are good for the believer. So, let them have a good opinion of their Lord, the Almighty, and know that His management is better than their management of themselves, and that trials may carry within them much good, confirming His Almighty saying: "But perhaps you hate a thing and Allah makes therein much good."
