The spread of Islam in western countries

Question

Will Islam continue to spread covertly in western countries?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.

Nowadays, Islam is not covert in western countries as Muslims have spread over there to the extent that there is practically no country that does not have a Muslim community, whether big or small. Also, most western countries have mosques and Islamic centers, the fact that gives much hope for a promising future for Islam in those countries which are so corrupt by disbelief and whose people are so attached to materialistic civilization that they need a savior to rescue them from such deviation, corruption and spiritual emptiness. This rescue can only be found in Islam, the religion that meets the innate needs of human beings and answers their puzzling and complex questions.

In fact, this is the reason that encourages people to resort to the religion of Allaah (Islam) and nearly every day new people embrace Islam. Moreover, as time passes by, Islam gains a good position there, in spite of the efforts exerted by the enemies of Allaah and their warnings from the coming Islamic invasion. This proves the greatness of Islam and its fitness to the nature of mankind. Islam extends naturally by its own power and affects people. Many in the west found their aspired aim in it, and that is why people of all classes are converting to it.

Consequently, we tell the questioner that Islam will be the dominant religion in western countries and all over the world. It was narrated by Thawbaan  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, told him that Allaah has made him see the entire earth and he saw the west and east (all governed by Islam). The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, also said that the rein of the Islamic nation would reach all this. [Muslim]

Allaah Says (what means): {They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses except to perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it} [Quran 9:32]

Allaah Knows best.
