Beware of oppressing the one who has none to repel your attack except Allah.” [2] 3 – His Eminence said, “Allah does not take power from anyone but He takes away from him His obedience. And He does not take anyone’s strength but that He ends his responsibility (duty).” [3] 4 – His Eminence said, “Beware of that for which you have to regret later.
