Muslims rulers/citizens forget their duty Islam placed on each of us, we need to refresh our obligations, we sure be accounted for our misgivings. We would stand to answer in the hereafter as to how we fulfilled the needs of our brothers who strive to re-establish the Islamic Khilafah State fulfilling their fardh obligation. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection."
