A ruler who is a servant
A ruler who is a servant. إلا آتي الرحمن عبدا [Q19:93] He is someone who knows the highness of the skies, and the plains of earth. Someone who understands the gravity of his decrees (עלה דין), as it brings ease or pain to the people. فاحكم بين الناس بالحق ولا تتبع الهوى [Q38:26] At night, he strolls the uptowns & downtowns, checking on the welfare of his citizens. [Umar | الدين] When he sees a child ignoring him in the cold, he knows she is not insulting him. She is just too ill. "Sweetie come have my coat & eat this brioche", is the first of his offers. [QA]
Yes when he rises, he makes his people rise as well, Allah SWT Wills. هل تنصرون وترزقون إلا بضعفائكم [SB4.52.145] As high as the glory of Aliya, still as humble as Ali, the father of dust.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due, and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing. | Holy Quran 4:58
إن الله يأمركم أن تؤدوا الأمانات إلى أهلها وإذا حكمتم بين الناس أن تحكموا بالعدل
إن الله نعما يعظكم به إن الله كان سميعا بصيرا
ۖ وابتغ فيما آتاك الله الدار الآخرة ۖ ولا تنس نصيبك من الدنيا But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter, and do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters. | Holy Quran 28:77
وأحسن كما أحسن الله إليك ۖ ولا تبغ الفساد في الأرض ۖ إن الله لا يحب المفسدين
[وما أدراك ما العقبة [12] فك رقبة [13 And what will make you know the path that is steep? It is the freeing of a slave. Or feeding on a day of severe hunger. An orphan of near relationship. Or a needy person in misery. And then being among those who believed, and advised one another to patience, and advised one another to compassion. | Holy Quran 90:12-17
[16] أو إطعام في يوم ذي مسغبة [14] يتيما ذا مقربة [15] أو مسكينا ذا متربة
[ثم كان من الذين آمنوا وتواصوا بالصبر وتواصوا بالمرحمة [17

ماشاء الله the name Alauddin crossed my mind... & I found Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah (علاء الدين رعاية شاە). He was the 7th Sultan of Malacca in 1477. He was only 15 when he became Sultan, & he was only 30 when he died. A young Sultan.
Malacca at that time was an international entrepot of the east & the west. And Malacca was prosperous during his time. He was a good, fair & religious ruler. He would disguise himself as a commoner and patrol the city at night. [wiki, grave]
His father Sultan Mansur Shah (منصور شاە) loves knowledge & appreciated scholars. He worked to spread Islam to nearby states. Malacca was its peak during their time.
............................
So. Did I met the real life Aladdin? I imagine if Malacca is the Utter East, then Portugal is the Utter West. & they did bring the western A Famosa (1511) to the east. [spices]
Only Allah SWT Knows Best والله أعلم
Sumatra, or Andalas, was the Farthest East in the Muslim world so its position was in some way similar to Andalus which was the Farthest West.
