Supplicate for our Muslim Rulers and do not Supplicate against them!

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Abu Uthmaan Saeed  Bin Ismaa’eel [rahimahullaa (1)] said:  ”Advice the Muslim ruler (in private) and make a lot of supplication for him to be righteous and rightly guided in speech, action and judgement. Indeed, if they (rulers) are righteous, the slaves of Allaah will be righteous by way of them (i.e. through their ruler ship).  Beware of supplicating against them by way cursing and thus they increase in evil and (cause) calamity upon the muslims. Rather supplicate for them to be granted the ability to repent, so that they abandon evil and calamity is removed from the Muslims.

Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: They (i.e. the people) said: “O Messenger of Allaah! You joke with us?” He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: Indeed, I do not utter, except truth.” [1]

A man said to Abdullaah Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa): “O you the best of the people and the son of the best of the people!” So Ibn Umar said, “I am neither the best of the people nor the son of the best of the people; rather I am a slave from the slaves of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic). I have hope in Allaah and I fear Him. By Allaah! You do not leave a man alone until you destroy him.”

Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) reported: Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan Bin Haaroon (rahimahullaah): ”I saw Abu Abdillaah-Ahmad Bin Hanbal–that when he walked on the road, he hated that anyone should follow him.”  I (i.e. Adh-Dhahabi) say: Preferring to be unknown;  being humble and filled with fear (of Allaah) are from the signs of Taqwah and success.

A man came to Bishr Ibn Al-Haarith (rahimahullaah) and kissed (his forehead), saying: O Abu Nasr my master! So when the man left, Bishr said to his companions: “A man loves another man based on news he presumes to (be true). And it may be that the one who has that love will be saved and the one who is loved does not know what his state of affairs will be.”

When Bakr (rahimahullaah) used to see an old man, he would say: ”This (person) is better than me. He worshipped Allaah before me.”  And if he saw a youth, he would say: ”This (person) is better than me. I have committed more sins than he has committed.”
