The truth is not determined by power, actions are not justified by profit, and pride does not make a person superior. In Islam, the intention must be for the pleasure of Allah, and every action must be judged in light of the Law of Allah
The hypocrites, though few in number, were a reason for the delay in victory over the Jews during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ). Today, victory is delayed even more because the hypocrites are more numerous than the Jews!
-Abdul Aziz at-Tarefe
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “O emigrants, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge in Allah lest you live to see them.
Promiscuity never becomes widespread among people but that they will be afflicted by plagues and diseases that were unknown to their forefathers.
They do not cheat in weights and measures but that they will be stricken with famine, calamity, and the oppression of rulers.
They do not withhold charity from their wealth but that rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, there would be no rain at all.
They do not break their covenant with Allah and HIS Messenger (ﷺ) but that Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take what is in their hands.
Their leaders must rule according to the Book of Allah and seek every good from what Allah has revealed, lest Allah place violence among them."
Sunan Ibn Majah 4019
Religion and governance cannot be separated. Our Tawhid compels us to establish the rule of Allah in every aspect of our lives, rejecting man-made Kufr laws and resisting any force that exploits or oppresses our Muslim brothers and sisters.
