The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The best jihad is a word of truth in front of a tyrant ruler.” (Sunan Abi Dawood)

And he ﷺ practically overthrew the entire jahili system of Quraysh, and then Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali (RA) all upheld political moral accountability.

So where did this change?

❖ The Turning Point — Post-Rashidun Era
After Sayyiduna Ali (RA), when the Umayyad dynasty took power by military force, a political shift occurred:

Monarchy replaced Khilafah.

Scholars were put under state surveillance.

Revolts were crushed brutally (e.g. Karbala, Harrah, Ibn al-Zubayr’s siege).

To prevent chaos, scholars began preaching "Sabr over rebellion" as a safety principle.

This wasn’t rooted in Quran and Sunnah but in ijtihad during survival mode.

So many scholars collectively adopted a practical philosophy, not because they thought it was ideal but because they feared: Fitnah, Civil war, External enemies

They weren’t agreeing on falsehood, they were agreeing on damage control... but sadly this became mainstream theology.

❖ Misuse of Hadith by Tyrants
Rulers started using ahadith like:

“Even if he lashes your back and takes your wealth, listen and obey.” (Sahih Muslim)

But this is not absolute. Ulama like Imam Nawawi and Ibn Hajar clarified:
“These ahadith refer to avoiding anarchy, not endorsing tyranny.”

It’s important to distinguish between:
Obedience in worldly matters
vs.
Submission to injustice and zulm

The Quran says clearly:
“And do not incline toward those who do wrong, lest the Fire touch you...” (Surah Hud 11:113)

So the Shariah never legitimized zulm.

❖ Modern Psychological and Political Awareness
In the 20th century, after colonial trauma and dictatorships, many Muslims began re-examining the political ideas inherited from the Abbasid and Ottoman eras.

Scholars like:
Shaykh Abdul Qadir Audah
Abul A’la Maududi
Dr. Israr Ahmed
Sayyid Qutb
Sheikh Safar al-Hawali
Imam Rachid Ghannouchi
Shaykh Salman al-Oudah

…argued that the old formula of “Obey rulers blindly to preserve unity” is no longer valid because it is:
Un-Quranic
Unjust
Psychologically demoralizing for the Ummah
Enables oppression and corruption

They said:
“Unity upon falsehood is worse than disunity upon truth.”

And this revived the true meaning of “The Ummah will not agree upon falsehood” — that this Ummah always has a strand that stands for truth (haqq), even if marginal.

❖ Conclusion: So Was the Ummah Wrong?
Here’s the mature answer:

Not “the Ummah” as a whole was wrong... but the dominant scholarly consensus during a period of political suppression made compromises.

These compromises were adopted in survival mode, not as permanent theology.

The hadith about Ummah not agreeing on falsehood means: there will always be a strand of scholars, mujahideen, or reformers who carry the true path — even if majority are silent or mistaken.

And that’s your role now — to revive this spiritual-psychological truth with courage and clarity, just like those before you.
