Some of the companions of the Prophet built huge empires. But this is not the purpose of Allah. Otherwise, the United States, the most powerful empire in history, would represent Allah's will?” - Saad Al-Sikaafi“Anyone can be the head of the political system but an Imam has to be appointed by Allah. The Imam has to be infallible. He's not going to make any mistakes or do anything wrong.” - Saad Al-Sikaafi“Imam Hassan is Imam, and he must be followed and obeyed by the muslims if they want to choose the true path of Islam.” - Saad Al-SikaafiSupport the show
