Cover message: Tameem Ad-Dari reported: The Messenger of Allah, said, "This matter will certainly reach every place touched by the night and day. Allah will not leave a house or residence except that Allah will cause this religion to enter it, by which the honorable will be honored and the disgraceful will be disgraced. Allah will honor the honorable with Islam and he will disgrace the disgraceful with unbelief" (Musnad Ahmad)
