However, people think that their supporting ones (the ruling elite) will always remain in power and no harm in the world will afflict them, and the work they are carrying out on behalf of the government is just and fair. However, it’s an illusion; with two background Ahadith below, we present further Ahadith on the difficulties and status of a judge.

The entering into their work, and assisting them, and striving regarding their needs equates to Kufr , and the looking at them deliberately is from the major sins due to which the Fire is deserved.’’ [1] وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ الْجَبَابِرَةَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ أَحْوَالِهِمْ وَ آمَنِ مَا كَانُوا (Amir Al-Momineen -asws said in a Hadith): ‘And Allah -azwj has Killed the tyrants upon the best of their states, and (when they were) as safe as they could have been…’ (An extract).
