In another hadith , a
man asked Allah’s Apostle , صلى الله عليه و سلم: “ O prophet of Allah! What if we were governed
by leaders who demand their rights ( obedience , respect, loyalty) but
deny our rights ( freedom of worship, speech, voting , education?) what do you
command us to do in such a case? Allah’s Apostle , صلى الله عليه و سلم
turned away from the man and did not give him an answer. The same man persisted
and again asked the same question .Upon that , Allah’s
Apostle , صلى الله عليه و سلم said: “ Listen ( to your leaders) and obey them . They will be
responsible for what you do.” This hadith is reported
by Muslim.
The general public must
assist their governors in achieving their missions and fulfilling their tasks
and duties . Each and every citizen must know the
importance of his role in the society , and
consequently in the government in general. If individuals fail to realize their
duties and responsibilities , the situation will turn
into chaos and confusion again. Similarly , if the
governors are not properly assisted by their constituents , confusion within the
society will increase.
It is only natural to have
the commitment of the people and public for the administration to lead a decent
government . Islam requires the full support of the
general public for the governor. We can vividly see this in the various text of
the glorious Quran and the Sunah practices and statements of Allah’s Apostle,
PBUH.
This proves that Islam
agrees with the intelligent rules of nature ,as nature
is created, governed , ruled and organized by the same Creator Who created man
and knows what benefits man and what harms him. Islam is the religion of the
pure , innate nature that helps man leads a very stable
, clean , organized and intelligent life.
