Scholars Who Bravely Spoke Truth to the Sultans (Part 1)

This series will outline numerous examples of verbal confrontation between some of the most notable Imāms across different generations. This will stand in the face of those who erroneously or even spuriously align decontextualised passages from the Qur’ān and Sunnah to justify absolute submissiveness to political authority. Or even to endorse the oppression and decadence of governments, as we see prevalent in cultish Madkhalism and among the many who endorse their approach.

Do Not Say ‘Uff’ to Them

If one is ready to dishonour their parents, who are the selfless providers, the care-takers, the protectors and the obeyed authority in one's life, he is correspondingly ready to dishonour the Creator, Who is the Ultimate Provider (al Razāq), the Ultimate Care-Taker (al Raqīb), the Ultimate Protector (al Muhaymin) and the Ultimate Authority (al Waliy).
