Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Monajjid

The conflict between truth and falsehood is ongoing and will last as
long as this world remains. The fact that some groups among the Ummah of
Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) are following the
people of falsehood such as the Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians,
idol-worshippers and others, whilst a group is remaining steadfast to
the truth despite the pressures, is all part of the decreed system of
the universe. But this does not mean that we should give in and follow
the ways of those who are astray, because the one who told us that this
would inevitably happen also warned us against following this path, and
he commanded us to adhere firmly to Islam no matter how many people
deviate from it and no matter how strong they become. He told us that
the blessed one is the one who adheres steadfastly to the truth no
matter what the distractions, at a time when the one who does righteous
deeds will earn the reward of fifty men whose deeds are like those of
the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) – as was reported in the
hadeeth of Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allaah be pleased with him).
Among the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) there will be people who deviated from
the truth and went towards falsehood, changing and altering things.
Their punishment will be that they will be kept away from the Hawd
(Cistern) whilst those who adhered to the Straight Path will come and
drink from it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said:
“I will precede you to the Cistern, and
men from among you will be brought to me, and when I stretch forth my
hand to them, they will be pulled away. I will say, ‘O Lord! My
followers!’ and it will be said:
‘You do not know what they innovated
after you were gone.’” According to another report: “I will say: ‘May he
be doomed, the one who changed (the religion) after I was gone.’”
