An Unjust Ruler

The Promised Messiah (as) said: “If a ruler is unjust, do not go about speaking ill of them. On the contrary, reform your own state; God will either change the ruler or make them righteous. Any suffering that one experiences is due to one’s own wrongdoings, otherwise believers are blessed with good fortune from God. God Almighty Himself provides for a believer. My advice is that you should become an example of righteousness in every respect. Do not ignore the rights due to God, nor infringe upon the rights owed to the people.”
