Might does not make right, right makes right!

This topic is linked to the God conception of the Zaydis and the Mutazila in contrast to other Muslim groups. The way of Ahl al ‘Adl (Zaydis and Mu’tazilites) is to stress on justice and right over power and might. The essence of everything is Justice. What is justice? Justice is to do that which is right!

We love, worship and obey God not because He is the Most Powerful. Rather, we love, worship and obey God because it is the right thing to do so. In fact, God is right, God is always right, it is God who bestows all that is right, true and blessed! God is the Ultimate Truth and all the blessings and virtues of life and existence emulate from His infinite glory, mercy and majesty.

Therefore, the objective aim of life is to prioritise, and obey the Creator and through this worship you as the contingent being come to connect with the Necessary Being. Thus, it is wrong and abhorrent to excessively love, obey and worship entities other than God. Even if favouring and worshipping other animate and inanimate objects other than God brings you joy and happiness, it is still vile and ungrateful to do so. Therefore, justice in general and Divine justice in particular is the most fundamental thing.

If you erase the culture of truths, rights and regulations and you prioritise authority and power centrism instead, then you will create the environment of blind-following, insecurity, disgrace, rigidness, selfishness, immorality, close-mindedness and worshipping and obeying tyranny.

Through this culture you will turn into an impractical, incompetent, weak pawn for the tyrants who claim to be partners besides God, and you will desperately, hopelessly and humbly take whatever they give you and eat from their hands. And this is all because of fear of their power and authority.

By God, the servants of God are free from such a vile thing. The believers are not from the partisans of pharaohs, they are from the allies of Moses and Huseyn b. Ali, who constantly and bravely fight against tyranny and injustices and this is because it is the right thing to do so! They will strive honourably even if it brings their own end

And what an honour this is!? This is the way of life that is bestowed upon by the Merciful. Islam is to follow that which is right and in life, the correct thing to do is to obey and connect with the Ultimate Creator, Creator of rights, the Most Merciful, the Most Just.
