Allah's Mercy in Muslims Uniting with Rulers

It is by Allah's mercy that Muslims unite with their ruler.

That is why the Prophet ﷺ said, after mentioning what some rulers do.

After him, some violations and matters held against them.

They said, "Should we oppose them, O Messenger of Allah?"

He said, "No, so long as they establish prayer among you."

Another hadith: "Unless you see clear disbelief, with proof from Allah."

So unity with the Muslim ruler is required and obligatory for Muslims.

Division in this disagreement is not permissible.

This pleases the enemies or opens the door against Muslims.

And it may develop into armed conflict.

So, to settle this, we set aside our own views for others' opinions

Or the ruler's view, as long as it does not depart from Allah's Book ﷻ.

and His Messenger's Sunnah ﷺ, as long as there is leeway.

Then we defer to it to preserve unity.

He said, "And for that He created them." Allah ﷻ created them for unity.

And He did not create them for division.

And that is why He created them.

He created them to unite in obeying and worshipping Him.

Even if they differ in some opinions that have a valid basis.

So we must pay attention to this.
