The prominent Muslim scholar Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal Nadvi, director and imam of Al-Falah Islamic Center, Oakville, Ontario, Canada, states the following: Now that the Muslim leaders do not rule according to the teachings of Islam and they in practice give a terrible image of Islam, it is our responsibility as an Ummah towards our leaders to not remain silent about their misbehavior. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Religion is advice, for Allah’s sake, for His Messenger, for Muslim leaders, and for all members of the Ummah” (Muslim). So we share the responsibility of taking a passive role toward our leaders. We must stand united against all pressures that force our leaders to deviate from the right path, and we have to keep advising and correcting our leaders to promote what is good and forbid what is evil.
