"Ahmad bin Hambal, the 8th century Muslim jurist regarded as 'the most significant exponent of the traditionalist approach in Sunni Islam,' was asked: 'Who’s more appropriate to lead? A trustworthy weak leader or an immoral strong leader?' He replied: 'As for the trustworthy weak
leader, his trustworthiness is to himself, but his weakness is to the disadvantage of the nation. While the immoral strong leader, his immorality is to himself, while his strength is to the advantage of the nation.'" This quote is being shared widely by Muslims on social media.
