Khilafat-e-Rashidah — Page 183
KHILAFAT-E-R A SHIDAH 183 Similarly he said, “We hold the correct beliefs but their prayers are accepted more”. In short, even in a ruling nation, many people remain poor. But it is said that the nation is ruling, even though only one man is the king, and the rest are not kings. Similarly it is said about Jews, [made you kings]. If it was necessary that God would make them kings when God says that “He made them kings”, then everybody should have become a king. Obviously that is not the case. When there is a king from any nation, and the whole nation shares the benefits of kingdom, we can, in other words, say that it is the ruling nation. Similarly, when someone from a nation is bestowed Khilafat then it is said that the nation has been bestowed the reward. The second example is the verse in which Allah, the Almighty says: (Al-Baqarah, 2:92) When it is said to Jews, “Believe in what Allah had sent down in the Holy Quran,” they say: “We believe in what has been sent down to us. ”
