only through the divine mercy have you been able to deal with your followers so gently. if you had been stern and hardhearted they would all have deserted you a long time ago. forgive them and ask god to forgive and consult with them in certain matters. but when you reach a decision trust god. god loves those who trust him.
فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم ولو كنت فظا غليظ القلب لانفضوا من حولك فاعف عنهم واستغفر لهم وشاورهم في الأمر فإذا عزمت فتوكل على الله إن الله يحب المتوكلين
