Q: While practicing Da`wah (calling to Islam) extensively in the most sacred place on earth, what is your valuable advice for the Muslim rulers and scholars?
A: My advice for the Muslim rulers is to stick to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace be upon him), and apply it among the people they rule according to Allah's saying,
And so judge (you O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) among them by what Allâh has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) far away from some of that which Allâh has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that Allâh's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fâsiqûn (rebellious and disobedient to Allâh). Do they then seek the judgement of (the days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgement than Allâh for a people who have firm Faith.
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.
Thus, the happiness of the Islamic countries will come true, instability of the Islamic world will be settled; the rulers and the people will find their desired happiness and security; and everyone will gain happiness and safety in this world and the Hereafter.
My advice to the Muslim scholars is to clarify AlHaqq (the Truth) for the people by their words and actions; practice Da`wah sincerely and courageously; and fear the blame of no one, as they carry a heavy responsibility, and they know what nobody else knows.
May Allah support His religion, raise high His word, and reconcile the hearts of Muslim leaders and people to please Him! May Allah protect them all from the evil of their deeds and guide them to AlSiratulMustaqim (the Straight Path)! He is the One Who is Capable of doing so.
