Speak truth in front of a tyrant ruler
EXPLANATIONS:
According to this hadith, speaking truth in front of a tyrant ruler is considered as the highest form of jihad. This means that even if it may be difficult or dangerous to speak up against an oppressive leader, it is still important to do so for justice and righteousness. It takes courage and strength to stand up for what is right, even when faced with danger or opposition. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for justice and speak out against injustice no matter how hard it may be. We should not be afraid to stand up for what we believe in and fight for our rights even if it means facing powerful people who are trying to oppress us.
