Islam surpasses Catholism,Jewish reaction
The news has been in for last two days and almost every news resource quoting it.
Haaretz quote Vatican source:
“For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican’s yearbook.
The most interesting comment came from a Jew on Haaretz website. Yered Shmuel says:
Australia loses its Judeo-Christian status. Not because I am racist, but because Arab Islamic culture is dirty - one only must look at Cairo or suburbs populated by Arab Muslims in any other Judeo-Christian society.
I fear the day when Israel loses its Jewish majority, and it will - it will be that day that my respect for the comparative paradise to the surrounding countries is gone.
Jewish Israelis better start breeding big!
This is the first time I experienced a jew admitting something which we have been told long time back via Quran and hadith sources. The issue is that like Muslims, there are communities among Jews as well who don’t listen what their “Imams”, the Rabis say. They also mock their religious scholars and talk about modernism in the name of Secularism. There were wickeds among them who even made attempt to alter Psalms and injected their “own” teachings, just like our modern libsrals and secularists have been trying to do these days in the name of distorted and twisted version of Sufism so naturally they shifted away from what orignial message God had given via Moses(AS).
Irony is that Muslims ain’t united. They are in various sects which we had already been told by The Prophet Muhammad(SAW). As long as Muslims don’t learn to criticize themselves first , they can’t dominate the world. Only waiting for Imam Mehdi and Jesus(AS) and doing NOTHING is not gonna be fruitful for us. They have to come on time which we can’t change but atleast it’s in our hand to fix ourself up. No?

Indeed its going to be islam all over the place. As Nabi (SAW) has already said.
If we can take part in the struggle, we can be through to Jannat.
Every sincere persons beleives in 1 GOD or a driving power, of this universe. Only those who are wicked, have lust for money, liers dont beleive in any religion and they all are alike whether they are jew, chrisitian or wat ever nation or religion they belong to

Alhamdulillah! However, the glory can’t only be determined by numbers. Here is a reminder:
It’s reported in Sunan Abi Dawud that Thauban reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “It is near that the nations will call one another against you just as the eaters call one another to their dishes.” Somebody asked: “Is this because we will be few in numbers that day?” He said: “Nay, but that day you shall be numerous, but you will be like the foam of the sea, and Allah will take the fear of you away from your enemies and will place weakness into your hearts.” Somebody asked: “What is this weakness?” He said: “The love of the world and the dislike of death.”

wah ibrahim bhai. JAzakallah
how precise and on spot hadith you have quoted.
BTW, how do you pronounce “Thauban” - it is Soban mentioned in Surah Rahman?

The name is ثَوْبَانَ (Thawbaan). I do not recall this name in Surah Rahman.
If you can’t see the Arabic, then the letters are Th as in thawaab (ajar/good deeds) and it has a zabr on it; Waw and it has sukun on it; Baa and it has a zabr; Alif and this extends the sound of baa; and the last letter is Nouoon
