Ustadh Michael continues our connection with the Qur’an by examining ayat from Surah An-Nisa which teach lessons on legitimate leadership and who we should follow.
Obeying is Worship. Learn how Islam promotes followers as leaders.
The best leaders are the best followers. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the best follower of Allah and we should follow him.
In Ayah 78, Allah refers to the battle of Uhud as the Muslims established community in Medina. This foundation would set the stage for the growth and spread of Islam across civilizations.
Hypocrites left the battle of Uhud leaving Muslims outnumbered. These hypocrites then stated had Muslims come with them, they would have avoided disaster and death.
To this, Allah replies death will come to you regardless of where you hide and in Ayah 82: whoever obeys His messenger ﷺ is obeying Allah.
As Brother Michael says, "Put your reliance upon Allah. Trust in Allah. And Allah is enough. You can trust Him. He's The One Whose Authority commands respect. Just rely upon Allah. "
Most people don’t stop and think about the Qur’an, which has enough evidence to prove it is the word of Allah. Use the Qur’an to be convinced. Followers obey Allah 100 percent.
