alhamd another right to to be observed
in the set of rights that we need to
observe in our life and to learn about
them from the Quran and the Sunnah of
the
prophet and these rights as mentioned
before it's not something that we get to
know them based on our life experience
or what human beings that get together
to decide but rather it's based on the
Revelation from Allah the Quran and the
Sunnah of the
prophet and to be obedient to Allah even
if it's against our own desires even if
it's against our backr grounds and what
are we upon and how upbringing and
whatever because this is Dean of Allah
subhana Allah knows best and the outcome
at the end of things is definitely is
what is best for those who are obedient
to Allah and his messenger sallallahu
alhi wasallam one of these rights is the
rights
between the shepherd and the
dependencies which is basically the
ruler the people of authority versus the
masses those who they are in charge
of and uh this is such an important
relationship in people's life and it's
not left like that without guidelines in
the Quran and the sunah of the Prophet
throughout the history of mankind their
life cannot be governed unless there's a
people of authority in charge and then
the masses of the people and how they
interact with one another and what are
the rights to be observed this is such
an important one and it's important for
the Believers to understand it and to
abide with it even against uh it's
against their Norm or the way the people
are or the time that they live in so
there's the rights of the ruler and then
the rights of the subject or the masses
of the people first of all the right of
the ruler upon his people uh is to be
obedient to him and this is one of the
greatest of the rights that he has upon
them is for them to be obedient to the
one that is in charge of them to the
people of authority as Allah clearly
stated in the
Quran you believe obey Allah and obey
the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and those who are in charge of you those
who are in authority and their obedience
is not by itself but it's part of The
Obedience of Allah and his messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam and as we
would see unless they command the people
to commit a sin that means there's no
obedience in that but without
undermining the other things without
over throwing them and things of that
nature as it will be
mentioned the prophet he
said whoever obeys me indeed he had
obeyed Allah and
whoever and whoever disobey me indeed he
had disobeyed
Allah and whoever obeys the Amir the
ruler indeed he had obeyed
me and whoever disobeys the ru the ruler
he indeed had disobeyed me and this
obedience to the The Obedience to the
rulers include first of all to belief
this is a matter of a this is the a the
belief of the people ofnah to believe
that it's mandatory to be obedient to
the ruler and that it's part of The
Obedience of Allah and his messenger
sallallahu alaihi wasallam not because
of matters of Dunya not because of some
worldly gain you know the norm is when
masses are not upon the Quran and the
sunah of the prophet
they're only obedient to the rulers if
their life is pleasant and they have
lots of wealth and their economy is good
and M everything is great but then when
things changes then they start being
angry with the rulers and they want to
overthrow the rulers and so on is it
something that the Muslims are supposed
to do that of course not their obedience
to the rulers is a matter of Dean
because Allah subhana T commanded us to
be upon this and the prophet he said
that three times types of people Allah
subhana T would not look at them in the
day of the day of Resurrection he would
not purify them they would have a
painful punishment one of them a
man a man that he gave the pledge to his
ruler only for worldly
gain if the ruler give him from the
worldly gain he's pleased he's happy
with his
ruler and if he's not given
from The Dun he will be angry and this
is actually the norm of what people are
but for Muslims this is different they
obedience to the ruler it's because
Allah subhana T commanded them that's
why it's obligatory to obey him in
matters of in matters of goodness is it
in in everything not in sins so as the
prophet
said upon the Muslim is to listen and to
obey in what he loves and what he hates
unless he's commanded to commit a
sin if he's commanded to commit a sin
there's no listening and obeying when it
comes to the sin and in this Hadith is a
clear evidence as he said that whoever
obeys the rulers in the Disobedience of
Allah then he is committing a sin but
that doesn't mean that they would
overthrow them as it going to be
mentioned also later inshallah and
that's why also part of these rights is
that it's mandatory to be obedient to
the ruler in whatever state that a
person is in as the prophet he
said that upon you is listening and
obeying whether you are having difficult
times or whether you are at
ease whether you are energetic and
having all kinds of good stuff or
whether you are in state that you hate
even if it's given to someone that
doesn't deserve it and it's taken from
you when you deserve it you still Listen
and Obey it's an amazing
Hadith because again when you examine
the life of people imagine that people
have a ruler that he is you know giving
them all kinds of wealth and power and
the life is economy is great everybody's
happy you would find people they have no
complaints but then if it's the other
way around if things are difficult for
them you know how many people they would
continue to listen and to obey and see
the Hadith
says upon you is to listen and to obey
in the difficulties and at times of ease
so this is by the statement of the
Prophet also one of these rights is to
be patient with the Injustice that can
come from the ruler and not to overthrow
not to go against him and to try to
overthrow him and to replace him by
someone else and the prophet and this is
Dean this is religion the prophet he
said the best of your rulers are those
who you love and they love
you and they praise you and you praise
them and the worst of your leaders are
those
who those who you hate and they hate
they hate
you and you curse them and I curse you
so they said oh messenger of
Allah should we oppose them with the
sword to remove them from Power the
prophet he
said do not do so forbidding them from
doing so as long as they are
establishing the Salah among
you and he said if you see from your
ruler something that you dislike
something that you
hate then hate his action and do not
take your hand away from being obedient
to him that means do not overthrow them
you still continue to listen and to obey
so that also
explains the Hadith of no obedience in
matters of sins right meaning that you
don't obey them when they command you to
do a sin but at the same time you
continue to listen and to obey matters
you don't overthrow them as a result of
that you don't say let's remove them and
replace them this is all not permissible
whatsoever and there's the in Muslim
where the prophet he
said you listen and to obey to the
ruler even if your back is beaten even
if your wealth is
taken then listen and
obey and this is by the clear
instructions and command of the Prophet
so we don't need to even talk about the
wisdom behind it because this is a
command from Allah subhana to listen and
to obey that's
why he said we don't see that means the
people of this is not something that
they're upon where
they to
overthrow our rulers to go against them
to say we're not going to listen and to
obey even if they are transgressing the
limits even if they are committing
injustices we don't make Dua against
them and we don't take our hands away
from their obedience meaning we don't
become Renegade against them we don't
oppose them but rather to keep the
matter for them and to make Dua to Allah
subhana wa tala for their uprightness
and things of that nature as it's going
to be mentioned inshallah in the coming
points all of that is Dean so this is a
matter of Dean regardless of the
benefits and the losses and all of these
types of things regardless of the ways
of life of others this is what Allah
subhana tala commanded us this is what
the prophet Alat left us with and those
who follow the commands of Allah that
are successful in this life and in the
Hereafter and it doesn't mean of course
to approve what is evil we ask Allah
subhana wa tala to make us among those
who learn and to apply what we learn and
to be obedient to Allah and we'll
continue in next time so till next time
I leave you with the protection of
