My dear brothers in Islaam, you must realize that there people who are opponents to yourselves and your religion; those who strongly dislike you and your brothers having the blessing of Islaam; and those who detest you having safety, prosperity, tranquility, and stability. They endeavour to strip you of your blessings so that you would be the same as them. They look for any way break apart your jamaa'ah (collective that adheres to what is correct), leave you dispersed, rip brothers apart, and sever the bond between the people of Islaam and their leaders. Therefore, my dear Muslim brothers, be alert and cautious. Do not leave any room to accommodate misinformation or rumours. Beware of phrases like such and such "is what the people are saying." Remember your obligation to obey the leader in authority regarding all that does not amount to disobeying Allaah. Realize that doing so is necessary for every person who submits to Allaah in Islaam, and it amounts to being sincere to the leader and assisting Him in fulfilling Allaah's commands and avoiding Allaah's prohibitions. Also realize that contending with the leader in authority is impermissible. In a hadeeth in the Two Saheeh collections, Aboo Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that Allaah's Messenger (may Allaah grant him commendation and protection) said, "If someone obeys me, he obeys Allaah; if someone disobeys me, he disobeys Allaah; if someone obeys the leader in authority, he obeys me; and if someone disobeys the leader in authority, he disobeys me." --More 10:53 LOCAL TIME 07:53 GMT 0005 www.spa.gov.sa/w1382135
