His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minīn (may Allah protect him) participated in and spoke at a one-day joint reform and training seminar of Kabul province’s civil and military leadership.
Kabul governor, intelligence chief, senior officials of civil departments, judicial officials, district governors, and police and intelligence department heads in Kabul province participated.
Following the recitation of some verses of the Holy Qur’an, His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minīn (may Allah protect him) addressed the seminar.
He said that pious individuals and scholars were systematically excluded from public religious life and political action for centuries and there were ongoing attempts at further marginalization. Key Islamic concepts, such as rule via Sharia, jihad, and implementing God’s boundaries, were relegated to the area of historical or academic debate. But contrary to all expectations, by the blessings of Allah Almighty, the Afghan political scene has now fallen into the hands of scholars, Taliban, and the righteous.
Hence, this current reality is a test from Allah because Muslims have been denied this kind of power for centuries and must now endure it with the utmost sense of responsibility.
His Highness advised the participants that if they carry out their obligations in obedience and in accordance with Sharia principles, divine guidance will always be with them and failure will never catch up with them.
He urged them to be steadfast on the path of Allah, not to compromise Sharia for any interest, as Allah’s pleasure is in adhering to Sharia. He cautioned them against haughtiness, arrogance, disunity, and suspicion, stating that negligence would not be accepted as an excuse.
He stressed not indulging in useless and purposeless activities and being vigilant regarding enemy propaganda. He cautioned that the enemy aims to create division by using psychological and media means.
Just as they fought armed jihad for two decades, they must now fight ideological subversion with the same determination. His Highness further said that gratitude is to be shown to Allah by serving the public. Earlier, the people supported them with word and deed, and also sacrificed a lot. Now, people look to them with expectation.
They have the responsibility to serve the public in seriousness, to conduct themselves towards them with mercy, dignity, and justice.
It is the time for mercy to be shown to the oppressed and strict justice to be meted out to the oppressors.
The seminar was concluded with a prayer by His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minīn (may Allah protect him) for the continuity of Shariah rule and the well-being of the people.
