He says: In this time, with the multitude of trials, when I remind my brothers of the rights of the rulers, I find a great sense of alienation, and most people dislike me. What is your advice to me?
The Shaykh:
You are between the truth and the right, and it is not necessary that people be pleased with you. You are between the truth and the right for the people, and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the rulers and with others. If they accept it, praise be to Allah. If they do not accept it, you have cleared your conscience and established the proof against them. Yes.
