Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ain-Al Hayat, The Essence of Life The Third Stream: About Dealing With The Kings It is said about the justice and tyranny of kings that the welfare of the subjects of a kingdom depends much upon the fairness of its ruler.

Therefore, The Prophet of Allah (S) has said, “My Ummat depends for its prosperity on two types of persons: the first the Fuqha (the jurists) and the second, the nobles.” Also the Prophet (S) said: On the Day of Reckoning the Hell will address three categories of people: The Umra (the nobles) The Quraa (the reciters) and The Aghnia (the rich). It will tell to the Umra that Allah had given them the authority and you abused it for perpetrating tyranny on the hapless people.

Now you have to pay for your deeds. The Hell will tell the Quraa that to make a show of their prowess and to acquire false fame they were reciting the Qur’an and involved themselves in disobedience of Allah. Now they would have to taste the Hellfire. The Hell will address the Aghnia that Allah had blessed them with wealth and they didn’t spend it in any way to please Allah. How will they now bear the retribution.

Amir’ul-Mu’mineen Amir al Mu’mineen (as) said that obedience of a tyrannical and cruel ruler is a major sin. Obeying the Ulu al Amr who are the Infallible Imams is the bounden duty of the believers. Disobedience of these Imams is a major sin. These Imams are Infallible and Allah is Just that He doesn’t Ordain obedience of fallible rulers. Amir’ul-Mu’mineen ‘Ali (as) also said: Allah will send His Retribution to six types of persons for their foul traits: On the Arabs for their bigotry.

The rich for their pride and conceit. On the nobles and kings for their tyranny. On the jurists and scholars for their jealousies. On the traders for their unfair business practices. On the rustics for their ignorance. It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (S) that there is a mill in the Hell that rotates perpetually. People asked him, “Ya Imam!

What does this mill grind?” The Prophet (S) replied: It will grind the sinful scholar ( Ulema ), sinning reciters, tyrannical kings, untrustworthy viziers and dissimulating courtiers. The Prophet of Islam (S) said: I curse seven types of persons. All the prophets (as) who came prior to me have also d’Isapproved of such persons. These persons are: One who adds or removes anything from the Book of Allah.
