DISHONORING A RULER

678

“Whosoever dishonors the ruler is dishonored by Allah.”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Bakr who related that he heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.

PROHIBITION OF ASKING FOR A POSITION IN AUTHORITY

Allah, the Exalted says:

“That is the Last Abode,

We shall assign it to those

who desire neither exorbitance in the earth,

nor corruption.

The ultimate is for the cautious.” 28:83 Koran
