Why Muslims need to take part in their own affairs?

SHAFAQNA – In his last Hajj, The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) gathered people in the Mosque and delivered a comprehensive sermon: There are three cases in which a Muslim does not cheat (and accepts with his/her hearts):

  • Work sincerely for the sake of Allah (SWT)
  • Sincere faithfulness, and sincere advice for Muslim leaders
  • Everlasting presence in Muslims gatherings (in which case) Imam’s prayers will be for them [1].

Imam Ali (AS) also said: One of my rights on you is that (by your sincere and full-scale presence in administration affairs) in hiding and in open be well-intentioned supporter to me [2]. And in another saying, Imam Ali (AS) mentioned: Then, take my doubt and hesitation away with your sincere and well-intentioned benevolence [3].
