EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about swearing allegiance to a leader while also following the laws of Allah and traditions of His Apostle. It is important for Muslims to obey their leaders as long as they are not asked to do something that goes against Islamic teachings. At the same time, it is important for Muslims to follow what Allah has commanded in terms of religious practices and beliefs. The Prophet Muhammad was sent by God as a messenger with guidance on how people should live their lives according to Islamic principles. Therefore, it is essential for Muslims to listen carefully and obey both what their leaders say as well as what God has commanded in order for them to be successful in this life and hereafter.
