The Pious have more right to inherit Allaah's Earth

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله said in his Tafseer (2/378):

In this (i.e. verse 191 of Surah al-Baqarah) there is an indication that the Muslims deserve more rights to the Earth (land) of Allaah than any other people because of the saying of Allaah تعالى:

﴿وأخرجوهم من حيث أخرجوكم﴾

{and turn them out from where they have turned you out } [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 191]

And His تعالى saying:

﴿ولقد كتبنا في الزبور من بعد الذكر أن الأرض يرثها عبادي الصالحون * إن في هذا لبلاغاً لقوم عابدين﴾

{And indeed We have written in Zaboor (Psalms) after (We have already written in) Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (the Book, that is in the heaven with Allaah), that My righteous slaves shall inherit the land. Verily, in this (the Qur’aan) there is a plain Message for people who worship Allaah (alone).} [Surah al-Anbiyaa’ (21): 105-106]

And the saying of Moosaa عليه السلام to his nation:

﴿استعينوا بالله واصبروا إن الأرض لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده والعاقبة للمتقين﴾

{Moosaa said to his people: "Seek help in Allaah and be patient. Verily, the earth is Allaah's. He gives it as a heritage to whom He will of His slaves, and the (blessed) end is for the Muttaqoon (pious)} [Surah al-A`raaf (7): 128]
