What is politics?

Politics is the fulfillment of the rights of God and the people.

So politics is not deception and lies, but worship.

Someone asked Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) about politics, and the Imam said:

"Politics is to protect the rights of God and the rights of the living and the dead, but the right of God is to carry out His command and avoid what He has forbidden, and to fulfill the rights of the living by your duty to the nation and not to act towards your nation.

He is loyal to his nation, and if he deviates from the right path, speaking of him is to remember his good deeds and overlook his faults, because they have a Lord who will hold them accountable.

Therefore, our Imam explains the meaning of politics according to his approach. Every person, whether a ruler or a ruled, must avoid what God has forbidden and be a helper and a benefactor of the people. But those in power exploited the issue of politics and politics became a scary word for ordinary people because of the injustice they faced from the kings, sultans and oppressive rulers who demanded the separation of religion from politics to achieve their goals without supervision. Our Imam emphasizes that the nation must be aware and play a supervisory role to ensure the security of its rulers.

Today, they are carrying out massacres of innocent people under the guise of politics.
