Why is it important for people to obey a Divine Leader?
SHAFAQNA  The first Shia Imam, Ali ibn Abitaleb (AS) said: The nations of the world wake up in the morning while they are in fear of their rulers, and I wake up in the morning while I am in fear of my (so called) followers. I called upon you for Jihad against the enemy, but you refused to go for Jihad; I read the truth in your ears, but you did not hear. And I invited you overtly and covertly, you did not accept; and I gave you advice, but you did not accept [1]. [1] Nahjul Balaghah, Sermon 97.
