With the Hadith
We greet you all, dear listeners everywhere, in a new episode of your program "With the Hadith" and we begin with the best greeting, so peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
Muslim narrated in his Sahih:
Yahya bin Yahya, Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah, and Abu Kuraib narrated to us. Yahya said, and the wording is his: Abu Muawiyah narrated to us from Al-A'mash from Abu Sufyan from Jabir, who said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, sent a doctor to Ubayy bin Ka'b, and he cut a vein from him and then cauterized it.
Dear listeners:
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, as the head of state, managed the interests of the people in the state, took care of their affairs, solved their problems, organized their relations, secured their needs, and directed them to what is best for them. He performed these tasks himself, or appointed scribes to manage them. These tasks are administrative affairs that facilitate people's lives and make their lives run without problems or complications:
Here, in this noble hadith, he is taking care of an important need of the people, which is the need for medical treatment. Medical treatment is a necessary need for people, so the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, appointed a doctor to treat the sick from the people and prescribe the necessary medicine for their healing and restoration of health to their bodies. Medical treatment is a vital interest of the people that the Caliph must provide for them. The state must provide doctors, hospitals, medicines, medical devices, laboratories, and everything that medical treatment needs in terms of materials, tools, and specialized personnel in various medical specialties so that people have what they need in terms of health and recovery.
The interests of the people are many and varied and are not limited to the need for medical treatment. There is the need for education, building roads, providing means of transportation, and the need to provide water, pastures, electricity, and heating, in addition to providing agricultural machinery and tools such as harvesters, threshers, seeds, seedlings, and pesticides for agricultural pests, as well as providing markets for products and everything that farmers need. The same can be said for traders, industrialists, and other craftsmen and businessmen. The interests of the people, as I mentioned, are many and varied and cannot be enumerated here, but what we can emphasize is that taking care of these interests is one of the duties of the state based on the actions of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace. When a doctor was given to him as a gift, he made him available to the Muslims and did not keep him for himself, which indicates that medical treatment is one of the interests of the Muslims.
Regarding education, Al-Hakim narrated in Al-Mustadrak Alaa Al-Sahihain from Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them, who said: There were people among the prisoners on the day of Badr who had no ransom, "so the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, made their ransom to teach the children of the Ansar writing." "This is a hadith with a sound chain of narrators, but they did not include it."
Since the ransom was from the spoils of war, which belong to the Muslims, we understand from his action that providing education is one of the interests of the Muslims.
As for the field of work, Abu Dawood narrated in his Sunan from Anas bin Malik that a man from the Ansar came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, asking him, and he said: "Is there anything in your house?" He said: "Yes, a rug, we wear some of it and spread some of it, and a bowl from which we drink water." He said: "Bring them to me." He said: "So he brought them to him, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, took them in his hand and said: "Who will buy these?" A man said: "I will take them for a dirham." He said: "Who will bid more than a dirham?" twice or three times. A man said: "I will take them for two dirhams." So he gave them to him and took the two dirhams and gave them to the Ansari and said: "Buy food with one of them and give it to your family, and buy an ax with the other and bring it to me." So he brought it to him, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, put a piece of wood in it with his hand, then said to him: "Go and chop wood and sell it, and do not let me see you for fifteen days." So the man went and chopped wood and sold it, and he came and had earned ten dirhams, so he bought some clothes with some of it and food with some of it. So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "This is better for you than that begging should come as a stain on your face on the Day of Resurrection. Begging is not permissible except for three: for one who is in dire poverty, or for one who is in heavy debt, or for one who has suffered a painful loss."
Regarding roads, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, regulated the roads in his time by making the road seven cubits wide in case of dispute. Al-Bukhari narrated from Ikrimah, who heard Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, say: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ruled, when they quarreled over the road, that it should be seven cubits wide.
He, peace and blessings be upon him, also prohibited aggression on the road. Al-Tabarani narrated in Al-Saghir: From Al-Hakam bin Al-Harith Al-Sulami, who heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whoever takes a span of land from the Muslims' road, God will encircle him on the Day of Resurrection with seven earths."
As for agriculture, Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Urwa bin Al-Zubair that Abdullah bin Al-Zubair told him that a man from the Ansar argued with Al-Zubair before the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, about the channels of Al-Harra, which they used to irrigate the palm trees. The Ansari said: "Let the water flow through." But he refused them, so they argued before the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to Al-Zubair: "Irrigate, O Zubair, then send the water to your neighbor."
Thus, the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, managed the interests of the Muslims and solved their administrative problems easily and conveniently, and he used to seek the help of some of the Companions in that. Therefore, the interests of the people should be a department that the Caliph takes charge of or appoints a competent manager to take charge of, and to ease the burden on the Caliph, especially with the proliferation of interests, Hizb ut-Tahrir has adopted that there should be a department for the interests of the people, which is managed properly by a competent manager with methods and means that facilitate the people's livelihood and provide them with the necessary services without complication.
This department consists of interests, circles, and administrations: such as nationality, transportation, minting money, education, health, agriculture, labor, roads, and others.
The interest takes charge of managing the interest itself and its affiliated circles and administrations.
The circle is the one that takes charge of the affairs of the circle itself and its affiliated administrations.
The administration is the one that takes charge of the affairs of the administration itself and its affiliated branches and departments.
These interests, circles, and administrations are only established and set up to advance the affairs of the state and to serve the interests of the people. To ensure the smooth running of these interests, circles, and administrations, it is necessary to appoint officials for them. A general manager is appointed for each interest to manage the affairs of the interest directly and supervise all the circles and administrations affiliated with it. A manager is appointed for each circle and each administration to be directly responsible for it and for its affiliated branches and departments.
It is worth mentioning that anyone who holds nationality and is qualified, whether male or female, Muslim or non-Muslim, may be appointed as a director to manage any of the interests and to be an employee in it. This is taken from the rulings of lease, because the directors and employees in the state are hired according to the rulings of lease, so it is permissible to hire the worker absolutely, whether he is a Muslim or a non-Muslim, because of the generality and absoluteness of the evidence of lease. God Almighty says: "Then if they suckle for you, give them their payment." And it is general and not specific to the Muslim.
Al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said: God said: "There are three whom I will be their opponent on the Day of Resurrection: a man who made a covenant in My name and then betrayed it, a man who sold a free man and consumed his price, and a man who hired a worker and received his due from him but did not give him his wages." And it is absolute and not restricted to the Muslim worker, or to the man without the woman.
This is the administrative apparatus in the Khilafah state... an apparatus established to serve the interests of the people easily and conveniently, so the state adopts simple and convenient laws for it and chooses competent directors and officials for it, so we do not return to the complications of the current systems, which turn people's lives into hell and torment because of the complex and sterile systems, bribery, and nepotism.
O God, hasten for us the Khilafah state and let us enjoy its care... O Hearer, O Answerer.
Dear listeners, until we meet you with another prophetic hadith, we leave you in God's care, and peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
