A Lesson from the Letters of the Prophet

As-Salamu alaikum to all MuslimsGreetings of peace to all


When we look at the letters of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) sent to various rulers, we find that he mentions verse 3:64 in many of them. The Prophet also gives a stern warning to the rulers that if they refuse his message of accepting Islam, they will bear the burden of all the sins of their people.

Verses 44, 45, and 47 of Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran tell us that if any one fails to judge by what Allah has revealed (The Quran and Sunnah), they are Unbelievers, Wrong-Doers and Rebels (Kafir, Zalim and Fasiq)

We also know that those who confess Islam, but deliberately act against it can be labelled as Munafiqoon (hypocrates) and Munafiqoon will be in the lowest ranks in the Hellfire.

Can the current rulers realise their burden? Can they see that the sins of millions of citizens of their countries will be on them?

Does not it become even heavier on rulers of Muslims? Rulers who have setup or running systems of governments in violation of the Islamic Sharia?

May Allah T'ala forgive everyone and guide us all to the right path.

Ameen Ameen Ameen.
