So give them of your forgiveness and your pardon...

So give them of your forgiveness and your pardon, just as you would like Allah to give you of his forgiveness and pardon. [^22] The heart of the ruler must be a focus of affection and love towards the nation; power and force are not enough. People can be driven like sheep by power and force, but their inner strengths cannot be awakened and put to use. Not only is power and force not sufficient; even justice, if it is lifelessly enforced, is not enough.
