Suhaib Webb – Imam Malik & Governments

This has been definitely a journey for us

as we go through this text. And,

it's a slow a slow drip, but it's

very important.

We're talking now on in the context of

problem here is that what was lost in

the discussion is the idea

of means that I think that something can

intrinsically benefit me or harm me and that's

problematic because that should belong to Allah alone

if I'm seeking Allah and worshiping Allah because

if not then I may be compromised.

And that's why Imam imam

of of, you know, the governors and the

political leaders of his time, he would say,

never this happened except Allah

removed

any sense of awe of these people from

my heart because

that would lead to be and then that

would lead to being compromised. And that's why

scholars encouraged

Bulama to avoid the.
