Mutanen da ke wakiltar ra'ayoyin Musulmai ga Khalifa su ne Majalisar Ummah, kuma mutanen da ke wakiltar mutanen lardunan su ne Majalisun Lardi. Ana halatta wa wadanda ba Musulmai ba su zama mambobi a majalisar Shura don a kawo kowace koke game da duk wani zalunci daga masu mulki ko rashin amfani da dokokin Musulunci yadda ya kamata.

The individuals who represent the Muslims’ views to the Khalifah are the Ummah Council, and the individuals who represent the people in the provinces are the Provincial Councils. It is permitted for non-Muslims to be members in the Shura council for the sake of raising any complaints against any oppression by the rulers or misapplication of the laws of Islam.

Wannan Majalisa ce da ake kafa ta da mutane waɗanda ke wakiltar ra'ayin Musulmi baki ɗaya, wadda Khalifah zai iya komawa gare ta don neman shawara kan al'amura daban-daban. Su kuwa wakilan Ummah ne wajen riƙe shugabanni da alhakin ayyukansu. Wannan an samo shi ne daga shawarar da Manzon Allah ﷺ ya yi da wasu mutane daga Ansar da Muhajirai waɗanda suka wakilci mutanensu. Haka kuma an samo shi ne daga yadda Manzon Allah ﷺ ya zaɓi wasu daga sahabbansa domin yin shawara (Shura). Yana komawa gare su fiye da sauran mutane wajen neman ra'ayi, kamar Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra), Hamza (ra), 'Ali (ra), Salman Al-Farisi (ra), Hudhayfah (ra)….

This is a Council formed by individuals representing the opinion of the Muslims at large, to which the Khalifah can refer to, in order to consult on various issues. They in turn are the representatives of the Ummah in holding the rulers accountable. This is deduced from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh)’s consultation with some men from the Ansar and the emigrants who represented their people. It is also derived from the Messenger’s assigning some of his companions for consultation (Shura). He used to refer to them more than others for seeking opinion, such as Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra), Hamza (ra), ‘Ali (ra), Salman Al- Farisi (ra), Hudhayfah (ra)….

Hakan kuma ana fahimtar hakan daga yadda Abu Bakr (ra) ya nada wasu mutane daga cikin Muhajirai da Ansar domin neman shawararsu duk lokacin da wani al'amari ya faru. Mutanen shawara (Shura) a zamanin Abu Bakr (ra) malamai ne da mutanen da suka cancanci bayar da fatawa. Ibn Sa'ad ya ruwaito daga Al-Qasim:

It is also deduced from the fact that Abu Bakr (ra) designated some men from the Muhajir and the Ansar for seeking their opinion when something happened. The people of the consultation (Shura) at the time of Abu Bakr (ra) were the scholars and the people capable of giving legal edicts. Ibn Sa’ad reported from Al-Qasim:

. أن أبا بكر الصديق كان إذا نزل به أمر يريد مشاورة أهل الرأي وأهل الفقه « فيه، دعا رجالاً من المهاجرين والأنصار، دعا عمر، وعثمان، وعلياً، وعبد الرحمن بن عوف، ومعاذ بن جبل، وأُبَيّ بن كعب، وزيد بن ثابت، وكل هؤلاء كان ي فُْتي في خلافة أبي بكر، وإنما تصير فتوى الناس إلى هؤلاء، فمضى أبو بكر على ذلك، ثم وَلِيَ عمرُ » فكان يدعو هؤلاء النَّ فَرَ .

"Lokacin da wani abu ya faru, sai Abu Bakr ya so ya tuntuɓi mutanen ra'yi da mutanen fiqhu, sai ya kira mutane daga cikin Muhajirai da Ansar. Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, 'Abd Al-Rahman b.

Duk wannan yana nuna cewa an halatta a kafa wata majalisa ta musamman da za ta wakilci al'ummar Musulmi wajen yin hisabi da kuma shawara, wadda aka kafa ta bisa nassin Alƙur'ani da Sunnah.

“when something happened and Abu Bakr wanted to consult the people of opinion and the people of jurisprudence, he called from the emigrants and the Ansar. Umar, ‘Uthman, ‘Ali, ‘Abd Al-Rahman b. ‘Awf, Mu’adh b Jabal, ‘Ubay b. Ka‘b and Zayd Bin Thabit. They all used to give their opinion during the Khilafah of Abu Bakr. People would also take their legal edicts (fatwa) from them. When Umar became Khalifah, he also called these people”. There are also evidences that call upon the Muslims to account the rulers. Muslims exercised such accounting as happened at the time of the Righteous Khulafaa’. As the Ummah is allowed to be represented in consultation (Shura), she is also allowed to be represented in accounting. All of this indicates that it is allowed to have a special council that represents the Ummah in accounting and in the consultation that is established by the text of the Quran and Sunnah. It is called the Ummah Council because it represents the Ummah in consultation and accounting.

Ana halatta ga 'yan ƙasa waɗanda ba Musulmi ba su zama mambobin Majalisar, domin su gabatar da korafi game da duk wani zalunci da masu mulki suka yi musu, ko game da duk wani rashin aiwatar da Musulunci daidai a kansu, ko rashin samar musu da ayyuka, ko makamancin haka.

It is permitted for non-Muslim citizens to be members of the Council, in order to file complaints against any injustice perpetrated against them by the rulers or against any misimplementation of Islam upon them or the lack of services to them or the like.
