CHAPTER EIGHT<br />

<strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of the Governors<br />

( al- Wtzla and Sovereigns ( al-Salatin)<br />

lblis has deceived them into believing many things. We will mention<br />

the most important ones:<br />

i. <strong>The</strong> first is to convince them that Allah loves them. This is<br />

why He gave them this position and they are (made) His<br />

deputies. This deception can be exposed <strong>by</strong> contemplating<br />

this point: had they been His deputies then they must be<br />

following His religion. Only then would He love them.<br />

As for leadership, Allah has given it to people whom He disliked.<br />

He gave a lot of bounties to people whom He is not fond of. Some<br />

of them used their powers to harm righteous people as Allah said:<br />

"We only extend it for them so that they may increase in<br />

sin."<br />
