shows a way out after such times, through which Islamic morality
will prevail everywhere on Earth, and true religion will prevail
over man-made beliefs. As Allah reveals in the verses given below:

exalt it over every other religion, even though the idolaters
detest it. (Surat at-Tawba, 32-33)
Allah has helped every faithful nation, and will continue to
help the believers, for He has promised this to His sincere and
faithful servants. Allah says in these verses:
