Blessing or mistake?

 Question: When you're one of the few people who can do something to fix a problem, just how responsible does that make you for it?

Answer: It's how you choose to answer that question that defines you.

Politicians are instructed to abide by the laws of the land they live in, according to the laws. They are encouraged to serve the nation and its citizens whether or not the country they live in is a just country. However blind patriotism, supporting the country with no consideration of right or wrong is unacceptable. A true swedish citizen loves his country and fellow citizens and residents, and at the same time, whenever he sees that any injustice is being committed, he raises the voice. Speaking out against injustice is one of the most important dictates of politicians;“O you who have believed, persistently stand firm in justice, witnesses for The Lord, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, The Lord is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed The Lord is Ever-Acquainted with what you do.” (Quran 4:135)

“Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [bytaking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by hating it and feeling that it is wrong] – and that is the weakest of faith” (Narrated by Muslim, 49)

“There are seven whom The Lord will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade: one of them is a just ruler.

[Bukhari and Muslim]

 A Just Ruler:

Out of several duties that come with leadership, the most imperative one is the establishment of justice. A society can survive without money, with minimal resources and all sorts of difficulties, but the one thing without which a society can never survive is the lack of justice. A society in which the poor do not receive justice that society cannot survive for long and that society gets prone to all sorts of financial, social, political and ideological differences and difficulties. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of establishing justice relies on the ruler, the just he is in establishing and maintaining justice in the society, the more prosperous will the society be and the more he will rise higher in the court of The Lord Almighty. 

“Iman does not bless a people among whom a weak man is not given his right.”

Therefore, there should be no doubt in a just ruler being among the ones who will be under the shade of blessings of The Lord If there would have been a Judgement Day.

Speaking out, was it my biggest mistake. Or was it my biggest blessing?
