Tradition

لا يَبْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ بَيْتُ مَدَر وَ لا وَبَر إلاّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللّهُ كَلِمَةَ الإِسْلامِ

The Prophet (S) is narrated to have said: “There will be left no home on this earth, even homes made of earth or woolen tents, except that God will have allowed Islam to enter into them.”1

Brief Commentary

Every day it is becoming more manifest that the religion of Islam is the best religion on the face of this earth. People are realizing that either they must leave religion completely aside or they must accept Islam as the true and final religion sent down by God. Since religion is an integral part of human nature and our intrinsic selves, it follows that people can’t simply leave aside religion altogether. The only real option that they have left amongst the various religions is that of Islam. This phenomenon can be seen in our modern day world by the ever-increasing rates of people who accept Islam as their religion. Islam has spread to virtually every nation on this earth and mosques can be found even in far-flung regions and cities throughout the world.

With that said, it must be mentioned that the completion of this transformation will only take place with the appearance of Imam Mahdi (‘a). On that day, polytheism and idol worship will be completely destroyed and Islam will manifest itself all throughout the world. This is the reality which the Prophet (S) has given glad tidings of in the above tradition.
