<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) Saying a word of truth to an unjust ruler is one of the greatest forms of Jihad, as it deters him from his injustice.<br> 2) Giving sincere advice to unjust rulers is obligatory, along with enjoining them to do good and forbidding them from doing evil.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> Expressing disapproval of the ruler’s actions falls under four categories:<br> 1) A word of truth said to a just ruler, which is an easy mission.<br> 2) A word of falsehood said to a just ruler. This word is perilous as it is a source of trial to the ruler and the sayer.<br> 3) A word of truth said to an unjust ruler. This is the best form of Jihad.<br> 4) A word of falsehood said to an unjust ruler. This is misguidance to the Ummah.
