Mutanen da ke wakiltar ra'ayoyin Musulmai ga Khalifah su ne Majalisar Ummah, kuma mutanen da ke wakiltar jama'a a larduna su ne Majalisun Lardi. An halatta wa wadanda ba Musulmi ba su zama mambobi a majalisar Shura don kawo korafi game da duk wata zalunci daga masu mulki ko rashin aiwatar 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 ta ƙunshi mutane waɗanda ke wakiltar ra'ayin Musulmi baki ɗaya, wadda Khalifah zai iya komawa gare ta, domin neman shawara kan batutuwa daban-daban. Su kuma wakilai ne na Al-Ummah wajen riƙe shugabanni da alhakin ayyukansu. Wannan kuwa 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 daga yadda Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ba wasu sahabbansa aikin shawara (Shura). Ya kasance yana komawa gare su fiye da sauran mutane domin neman ra'ayi, kamar Abu Bakr (ra), Umar (ra), Hamza (ra), Ali (ra), Salman Al-Farisi (ra), Hudhaifah (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)….

Ana kuma fahimtar haka daga yadda Abu Bakr (ra) ya nada wasu mutane daga cikin Muhajirai da Ansar domin neman shawararsu idan wani al'amari ya faru. Mutanen shawara (Shura) a zamanin Abu Bakr (ra) su ne malamai da mutanen da suka iya bayar da hukunce-hukuncen shari'a. 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 kuma Abu Bakr ya so ya tuntubi mutanen ra'ayi da mutanen fiqhu, sai ya kira daga cikin Muhajirai da Ansar. Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, 'Abd Al-Rahman b. 'Awf, Mu'adh b Jabal, 'Ubay b. Ka'b da Zayd Bin Thabit. Dukansu sun kasance suna bayar da ra'ayinsu a lokacin Khilafar Abu Bakr. Mutane kuma suna karbar fatawarsu daga gare su. Lokacin da Umar ya zama Khalifa, shi ma ya kira wadannan mutane." "Akwai kuma dalilai da ke kira ga Musulmai da su yi wa shugabanni hisabi. Musulmai sun yi irin wannan hisabi kamar yadda ya faru a zamanin Khulafa' Ar-Rashidun. Kamar yadda al'ummar Musulmi ke da izinin a wakilta ta a cikin shawara (Shura), haka ma tana da izinin a wakilta ta wajen hisabi. Duk wannan yana nuna cewa ana halatta a kafa majalisa ta musamman da ke wakiltar al'ummar Musulmi wajen hisabi da kuma shawarar da aka kafa ta nassin Alkur'ani da Sunnah. Ana kiranta Majalisar Al'umma saboda tana wakiltar al'umma wajen shawara da hisabi."

“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.

Yana halatta ga 'yan ƙasa waɗanda ba Musulmi ba su zama mambobin Majalisar, domin su gabatar da koke-koke 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 ba su hidimomi, 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.
