He said: “One of the characteristics of the universal government and justice of Imam Zaman (AS) is mentioned under the title “Dawlatin Karimatin (respectful government)”, which we read in the Dua Iftitah (The Supplication) of The Opening of the holy month of Ramadan: O Allah, we ardently desire that You confer upon us a respectful government. through which You may give might to Islam and its followers, humiliate hypocrisy and its people, and include us among those who invite people to the obedience to You and lead them to Your approved path. Give us the good of this world and the world to come.”
The Prophet (PBUH) never allowed the “value and dignity” of people to be ignored
He further enumerated the components of “dignity” and said: humanity, rationality, desire for freedom, justice, fight against corruption and oppression, self-esteem, gratitude, service to people, self-knowledge, helping and love for others are among the components of human dignity. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) says in a narration about dignity: God Almighty himself is noble and generous and loves dignity. In the continuation of this narration, the Prophet (PBUH) said: Whoever honors his brother has honored God.”
Salar pointed to the manner of the Prophet (PBUH) in dealing with people and noted: “The Messenger of God (PBUH) always maintained the dignity and respect in dealing with people and did not allow the value and dignity of people to be ignored. In a sermon, the Prophet (PBUH) emphasizes that you should respect the elders and help the weak and try to solve the troubles and problems of the people, all of them are human dignity mentioned in the hadiths. Even today, it is necessary to follow the example of this prophetic manner in the personal and social lifestyle.”
