The Aalim Associating With Rulers

The Status Of An Aalim Who Associates With Rulers

Hazrat Fudhail Bin Iyaadh (Rahmatullahi alaih) highlighting the evil of an Aalim who strikes up a relationship with the rulers, said: “He who performs only his Faraaidh (obligatory acts of ibaadat), but does not visit the king is superior to one who fasts by day, remains awake in ibaadat by night, wages Jihad and performs Hajj, but visits the king.”

NOTE: ‘King’, in today’s era also applies to any ruler, politician, president or government.
