A---我们应当对掌权者尽忠劝告：在真理上顺从他们，在正义中服从他们，劝勉他们坚守真理，并以善意提醒他们真理。我们应当在他们身后礼拜，与他们一同作战，向他们缴纳天课和施舍；即使他们变成了悖逆者，我们也应当忍耐对待他们，不得以武力脱离他们，除非他们表现出明显的不信。此外，我们不应过度赞美他们以致使他们迷失。我们应当祈求至高无上的安拉引导他们，并赐予他们完全的成功。

A--- We should pay counsel to the people of authority by following them on the truth and obeying them in truth, ordering them to stick to the truth and reminding them kindly of the truth. We should pray behind them, fight with them, paying Zakah and charity to them, being patient towards them even if they became transgressors, quitting seceding oneself from them with force unless they show clear disbelief. Also, we should not over-praise them in a way to mislead them. We should supplicate Allah the Almighty to guide them and grant them full success.
