Khutbat-e-Tahir Vol 1 436 October 8, 1982 claim such dictatorial power, in the worldly terms, as Hadur-e-Akram assumed after the prophet hood۔But there is no dictatorship in Islam۔Greater the power or concentration of power, more fearful is the office because everybody is ultimately answerable to Allah۔With the result that fear intensifies the greater your power increases۔So Hadur-e-Akram used that power in the humblest manner۔In such beautiful and attractive manner that all through his life you can't pinpoint a single occasion where any body on earth could call that occasion to be an exhibition of dictatorship۔He ruled through wisdom, he ruled through prudence, he ruled through love۔And if you rule with these three factors, then it is impossible for dictatorship to come into the picture۔It is nothing to do with prudence, dictatorship has not, nor with wisdom nor with love۔It does not belong here۔So this is the sort of administrative power which is devolved on all Ahmadis serving in any capacity۔So they must be very weary that they should keep the honour of this trust alive and intact and must not misuse it in anyway۔If these two aspects are attended then most of the problems automatically dissolve into thin air as if they had never been۔This is the ideal society which Jama'at Ahmadiyyah is endeavouring to create۔And towards this thing you must put in your entire endeavours۔Now when something happens despite every thing, despite the best atmosphere, things do happen۔
