Will most people not believe until the end of time?

Yes. The statement of the Holy Qur’an that most people do not believe holds true for all time. It describes a heedlessness that affects even many who think they believe.

The Holy Qur’an says in several places that most people do not believe. Each time it says so in a particular setting, for instance after explaining who God is and who His Messenger is. Yet the statement is not tied to one era. It remains true until the end of time.

This is not only about people who openly reject God. Many who call themselves believers do not really believe in what the Holy Qur’an teaches. The second verse above shows this. Many believe in God and yet at the same time set up other things beside Him.

So the statement holds up a mirror to mankind. Many people live as if half asleep. They think they believe, but when you look more closely, this belief shapes neither their thinking nor their actions. It is then little more than a word.

For a believer this is not discouraging but a reminder. It invites us to examine ourselves. Am I truly among those who believe, or only among those who say so? True faith shows itself in watchfulness, in gratitude and in good deeds.
