After glorifying Allah and praising the Holy Prophet
(s) let it be known to you that if a ruler develops different inclinations and favours
about different people over whom he rules, then his treatment with them will not be on the
basis of equity and impartiality. And this will not allow him to be just and fair to all.
But so far as justice and equity are concerned your treatment of all should be fair and
unprejudiced. Remember that nothing can compensate for tyranny and oppression.
Keep yourself away from what you consider bad and
evil in others. Try your best to fulfill the obligations laid down by Allah upon you and
keep on hoping for His Reward and fear His Wrath because this world is a place for trials
and tests and whoever wastes his time here will repent in the Hereafter.
Remember that nothing will ever make you independent
of the Blessings of Allah and He has made it incumbent upon you to have complete control
over your own self, that you, to the best of your ability, protect and guard the people
over whom you rule. In this way you will be benefited more than others whom you benefit.
