11. DUTIES
Dear brothers believe in Allah, exalt His presence, depend and rely upon Him, Fear no one but Him, stand in awe of no other than Him. Perform that which He has made obligatory and shun that which He has forbidden.
Model yourselves on excellence and hold fast to perfection. Have a strong moral character and live up to the honour that Allah has gifted the Muslims and the nobility of the pious.
Draw near to the Qur’an and study it, devote yourselves to the Life of the Prophet, taking counsel from it. Be active workers rather than wranglers, for when Allah bestows His guidance on a people He inspires them to work; And people do not go astray after receiving guidance, except when they give into disputation.
Love one another, and make sure you guard your unity, for this is the secret of your strength and the buttress of your success. Stand fast until Allah judges justly between you and your people, for He is the best of Judges.
Listen, and obey your leaders both in duress and comfort, in good times and bad, for this is the token of your conviction and the bond of solidarity between you.
Finally, look forward to Allah’s aid and His support. This opportunity will arise, without a doubt:
‘And then the believers will rejoice in Allah’s aid. He aids whom He will, and He is the Mighty, the Merciful.’
(Surat-ar-Rum (30), ayah 4)
May Allah grant both of us success in that which He loves and approves, and steer us on the path of those who are good and rightly guided; may He make us live like the glorious and the fortunate, and grant us the death of martyrs and those who have striven in jihad. For He is the best of Defenders, and the best of helpers.
