Therefore, many of the criticisms conveyed differ from the methods taught by Islam. What is the proper ethics in criticizing the government according to the Qur'an? One interesting thing to discuss and can be the answer to the question above is how the Prophet Musa criticized Pharaoh, which was later enshrined in QS. Thaha [20]: 44. This article aims to discover how to convey criticism of good rulers using the proper ethics by the rules of the Qur'an, which is based on the contextualization of Gus Baha's interpretation on the YouTube Channel.

Thaha [20]: 44 finally came up with an ethical formulation criticizing the authorities, namely, 1) by choosing an effective and targeted language (qaulan layyinan); 2) gradually; and 3) in the right situation.
