123. From this emerge a few issues:

1. When others are incapable, then it becomes permissible for the most capable person to obtain the reign of power and highest state post for the purpose of maintaining justice and order; 

2. To lay your claim based on merit for such a post is acceptable 

3. It is permissible to be employed by an infidel king.

4. It is permissible to seek employment in departments whose revenue is of questionable nature, 

5. It is permissible to accept gifts from the infidels,

6. It is permissible to be appointed to the post of judge, etc on behalf of a cruel king for the purpose of administering proper justice. 

7. It is forbidden to conceal your religion. Its declaration is absolutely important. 

8. The Prophets by nature are fully acqauinted with all bounties of religious and worldly knowledge. Observe, prior to this Hazrat Yusuf (on whom be peace) had neither ruled as a king or practised agriculture, yet he says: "I am watchful and knowing" (in these matters). He had not acquired this knowledge from any school.
