Duty of a Muslim to Give Sincere Advice to the Corrupt Ruler
“The master of martyrs (sayyid al-shuhadaa) is Hamza, and a man who stands up to a tyrant ruler and gives him nasiha (advice). And so the ruler kills him.” Rasulullah ( peacs be upon hin ) continued to say : “By ALLAH you have to enjoin good and forbid evil, and hold against the hand of the unjust ruler and force him on the truth strongly, or you have to limit him to the truth”. By this evidence, which is the hadith commenting on the verse, ALLAH has prohibited us from remaining silent against the evil, and He commanded us to remove it. ALLAH commanded the Muslims to enjoin good and deny evil, and made it a duty upon them to do so. ALLAH said; “Let it be from among you a group who call to the good, enjoin good and deny evil.” ALLAH also said: “You have been the best nation (Ummah) brought to the people, because you enjoin good and deny evil.”(Musnad of Ahmad)
Saying Of The Pious People
Abdullah ibn Mas’ood (RA) used to say: “Whoever aids an oppressor or taught him an argument to nullify the right of an ordinary Muslims, has drawn upon himself the anger of Allah.”
Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa narrates Rasulullah (SAW) said, “ALLAH is with the Qadi as long as he is not tyrannical, but when he is, He departs from him and the Devil attaches himself to him.”(Tirmidhi)
