Advice on Slander and Rebellion Against the Rulers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In Africa, there is a lot of criticism and rebellion against the rulers. What is your advice to these peers?

Answer:
Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among youيَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:59]
Obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger come first, and then obedience to those in authority follows obedience to Allah and obedience to His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but only in matters other than sin; they are to be obeyed in matters other than the disobedience of Allah. Yes.
