Sheikh Raed Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, said in a February 2, 2024 Friday sermon that was posted on Mawteni48 that the world must prepare for the "day after in America." He said that America has grown old, that it is on the verge of retirement, and it is about to be admitted into a nursing home. Salah quoted a hadith according to which the Muslims will take over a "white house," and he claimed that it refers to Islam taking over the White House in Washington, DC. He continued to say that the "future" caliphate will spread Islam into every home in every continent in the world, including in America. Salah stated that Islam will conquer Rome, which symbolizes all of Europe, through da'wa, and he said: "By virtue of its justice and mercy, Islam will enter Rome."
Raed Salah served a 16-month prison sentence for inciting terrorism and for being a member of the outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, he was released in December 2021.
Raed Salah: "The politicians who are asking about 'the day after' in Gaza has forgotten to ask themselves about 'the day after' in America – not only in Gaza. What about 'the day after' in America – after America has finished playing its role? America has grown old. It is old. It is on the verge of retirement. It is about to be admitted into a nursing home.

"Ever since the days of Adam and to day – this is 2024 – we have never known of any house that was built and named 'the White House,' except for the 'White House' in Washington.

"Perhaps this hadith is clear evidence that the future caliphate [that will follow] the ways of the prophets will lead to the spreading of Islam, and Islam will enter every home in every continent without exception, including every home in America.

"The Prophet Muhammad has said: 'The city of Heraclius will be conquered first.' Heraclius means the city of Constantinople, which is now called Istanbul. Half of this prophecy has already been fulfilled – the conquest of Constantinople. The second half of the same prophecy is yet to be fulfilled – the conquest of Rome by da'wa. The modern Muslim scholars have said that Rome will be conquered by da'wa. By Virtue of its justice and mercy Islam will enter Rome. 'Rome' does not mean a Specific geographic location. No. Rome Symbolizes Europe."
