The Consent of the People is with the Consent of the Haqq

News:

By giving a series of warning to the party in his speech at the AK Party’s extended provincial consultative meeting in Erzurum, President Erdoğan said: “It is beneath us to be arrogant, boastful, and to put up walls between us and the citizens. It is absolutely out of the question to act in spite of the nation. We have pursued nothing but the consent of the Haqq and our people.” (Agencies 17.07.2021)

Comment:

As the election stage approaches, the speeches and promises of the rulers towards the public are also made in line with the pulse. In fact, it has become a tradition for the rulers, who have no common ground with the people, except that the people elect them, to turn their backs on the people for 4 years, and encumber the people with the bill of the grandiose life that they live.

When President Erdogan says, "There is no arrogance in our politics," he is obviously making these statements ignorant of himself and those around him! While the number of unemployed in the country has reached millions, while more than half of the country's population, who are trying to make a living on the minimum wage, is suffering from poverty, it seems to be forgotten that the ultra-luxury life of those who rule the country is the result of the applied arrogant secular democratic policy. Of course, having palaces built all over the country and looking at the people from here is not boasting! After all, you remember the people during election times and meet them in the squares, right? In this way, you remove the walls between you and the public!

Your actions disprove your words because you have a habit of speaking like the good people and doing things like the bad ones. If you really sought the consent of the Haqq, you would do what the Haqq ordered from you, and both the people and the Haqq would be pleased with you. However, with the secular democratic order you applied on so-called behalf of the people, you could not please the people or the Haqq, except the happy minority. Unfortunately, our greatest tribulation is the existence of rulers who still insist on the democracy, secularism and capitalism, which are built on lies, despite the fact that they have brought blood, tears, pain, poverty, oppression and destruction to these lands for a century.
While the religion of Islam you claim to believe in is the truth, isn't it the biggest boast and arrogance that you don't implement it?

Isn't it oppression to apply foreign laws to this people, the majority of whom are Muslims? Are you, who are proud of not acting despite the nation, not aware of how you put up the wall between people and the Haqq by not implementing a single command of the Haqq in life? It seems that the haqq for President Erdogan is to hold the Qur'an in his hands and shake it in the election squares, but not to even think about implementing it in life. It is going no further than talking about Hz. Omar’s (r.a) justice and using a pompous language of haqq and justice to people while experiencing the peak of richness as Croesus. Again, it must be to impose all kinds of taxes on the people's shoulders for the comfort and luxury of a handful of minorities, and to guarantee their reputation in luxury!

You have made the religion as your servant. Thus, you continue to experience humiliation and abasement. If you really had the fear of Allah and had goals such as the establishment of justice and the dominance of haqq, you would put your property at the service of Islam. In this way, you could be the representative of dignity and honor and obtain the consent of the Haqq. What befits the rulers is that their actions are better than their words.

There is no doubt that good speech without actions is only fitnah. Hz. Ali (r.a) said: “I seek refuge in Allah from a talkative tongue, from the heart that does not turn to goodness, from things that do not fit together.”

This Ummah deserves Khalifahs (caliphs), whose words and actions do not contradict each other, who will not bow to any threats for the sake of Haqq, who are fierce against unbelief, compassionate and merciful towards believers, and who see the welfare of the people in the implementation of the religion, which is the consent of Allah. This is inevitable for both our world and our Akhirah.
