1 00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:18,800 It is by Allah's mercy that Muslims unite with their ruler. 2 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:27,800 That is why the Prophet ﷺ said, after mentioning what some rulers do. 3 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:37,680 After him, some violations and matters held against them. 4 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,280 They said, "Should we oppose them, O Messenger of Allah?" 5 00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:46,100 He said, "No, so long as they establish prayer among you." 6 00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:55,320 Another hadith: "Unless you see clear disbelief, with proof from Allah." 7 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:06,640 So unity with the Muslim ruler is required and obligatory for Muslims. 8 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,236 Division in this disagreement is not permissible. 9 00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:14,239 This pleases the enemies or opens the door against Muslims. 10 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,100 And it may develop into armed conflict. 11 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:29,020 So, to settle this, we set aside our own views for others' opinions 12 00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:33,556 Or the ruler's view, as long as it does not depart from Allah's Book ﷻ. 13 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,460 and His Messenger's Sunnah ﷺ, as long as there is leeway. 14 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,990 Then we defer to it to preserve unity. 15 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,616 He said, "And for that He created them." Allah ﷻ created them for unity. 16 00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,460 And He did not create them for division. 17 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,020 And that is why He created them. 18 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,680 He created them to unite in obeying and worshipping Him. 19 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,960 Even if they differ in some opinions that have a valid basis. 20 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,180 So we must pay attention to this.
