Question:
What is our duty toward our rulers, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
Our duty toward our rulers, may Allah preserve them, is to be sincere with them and to point out the path of good. It is obligatory for us to obey them in what is right. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:59] It is also obligatory for us to cooperate with them in uniting the word, suppressing the corrupt, and maintaining security, because the Muslims are like one body and like a building whose parts support one another. So we cooperate with our rulers and give them sincere advice. Part of giving them sincere advice is cooperating with them in rectifying affairs and deterring the corrupt. Yes.
