He was shaked at what he has seen and understood...
He was shaked at what he has seen and understood, flew in his blood, ran in his being, and clamoured into him a sense and a thinking; then his lips moved saying: “indeed with right the heavens and earth existed”. If you tried to gather truthfulness, firmness and justice in one word, you would not find a word containing all these except the word ‘the right’ – because of what is unified of its signiticonce with the spirit of these three words.
Ibn Abi Talib realized in his depths that comparison is true originalty and consequently between heaven and earth, which existed with the right, and they stretched with the three inseparable faces, truthfulness, firmness, and justice, and between the state which must be a small picture of this cosmos, existing on firm sound bases.
So he lived in his mind and conscience this comparison spontaneously, with no space for a penetrating feeling or a strange thinking; then presently he says: The greatest of these rights that Allah has made obligatory is the right of the ruler over the ruled and the right of the ruled over the ruler. This is an obligation which Allah has imposed on for each other. He has made it as a dicipline of their harmony.
Consequently, the ruled cannot prosper unless the rulers are sound, and the rulers cannot be sound without the ruled’s righteousness. If the ruled render the rights of the ruler and the ruler renders their rights, then justice is practiced among them, signs of justice become clear and the rules took their course freely the continuance of government will be hoped. But if the ruled triumph over the ruler i.e. disobey, or the ruler does injustice to the ruled.
Overthere, disagreement appears evry-where signs of injustice appear, the ways of the islamic “sunnah” are forsaken. Then desires are acted on, the islamic rules dispensed with, diseases of spirits become numerous and no annoyance is felt for disregarding a great right, nor in committ-ing a big wrong, there virtuous people are humiliated the vicious persons are honoured, and there Allah’s debts on his servants become very great.
I plea to you to consider this precision of the general large relations. Among the elements of state through Ali’s tongue. Then between the good productive works and stability of these elements on the bases of right; or say of truthfulness, firmness, and justice, the three aspects of the right with which the heavens and the earth existed.
