Advice for David (L-2799)

يَٰدَاوُۥدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰكَ خَلِيفَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌۢ بِمَا نَسُوا۟ يَوْمَ ٱلْحِسَابِ 26

26.  Yaa-Daawuudu  ‘inNaa  ja-‘alNaaka  Khaliifatan-  fil-‘arzi  fahkum-  baynan-naasi  bil-haqqi  wa  laa  tattabi-‘il-hawaa  fayuzillaka  ‘an  SabiiLillaah.  ‘Innal-laziina  yazil-luuna  ‘an  SabiiLillaahi  lahum  ‘azaabun  shadiidum-  bimaa  nasuu  Yawmal-Hisaab. (Section 2/11)

26. “O David, We made you a ruler in the land, so judge between the people with justice, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from God’s path. Those who stray from God’s path will have a painful punishment, for having ignored the Day of Account.”

Chosen slaves of God Almighty are caused to understand immediately even on their very little carelessness. And they understand from it such matters which a common person can never think. Thrusting of two stranger complainants boldly into the house of David (Peace be upon him), particularly in his private chamber of worship, was sufficient to remove all such thoughts of his power and abilities. He prayed: My Lord! Really I am helpless. Accept my repentance and forgive my errors.

It was commanded: We forgave you. Remember it that whatsoever is bestowed to you, is because We have appointed you Our viceroy. Accordingly, use the power bestowed by Us, as We desire. Judge the mutual cases of the public with justice. Kingship is not to be superior to others and making the people own servants. One has to remove personal wishes in it. The ruler who becomes slave of own desires, loses everything. He has gone astray from the Path of God Almighty and put His Commands behind his back. It is apparent that the people who turned away from the Commandments of God Almighty in the world, certainly they forgot the Day of Resurrection. They did pay no regard to it that on the Day of Reckoning, account of their entire deeds will be checked. Result of their forgetting will be that they will be suffering from severe torment.
