[3] Patience Required Even If Rulership Has Negligence

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Al-Allamah Al-Izz Bin Abdis Salam, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

Had it not been for the appointment of a ruler, the beneficial universal affairs would have been lost, universal corruption would have become the reality, the strong would have overcome the weak and the (immoral) ones would have overcome the noble ones.

Shaikh Abdus-Salaam Burjess,  may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

The explanation of this is that the majority of the children of Adam are inclined towards injustice and love of vengeance, and had it not been that there was a ruler who administers their affairs, they would have become like the beasts of the wild and fish of the sea—the strong eat the weak.
