Batutuwan tsaro na cikin gida, ikon yada da'awa, da kuma kare kai daga hare-haren waje, sojoji ne ke kula da su.

The issues of internal security, the ability to spread da‘wah, and repel foreign attacks are taken care of by the army.

Allah (SWT) ya wajibta mana yada Musulunci a duniya, ya kuma ƙayyade hanyar da ta kasance da'awa da Jihadi, kuma Jihadi fard ne. Saboda haka, kowane namijin Musulmi da ya kai shekara goma sha biyar wajibi ne ya shiga soja ya kuma yi horon soja domin shirya wa Jihadi. Allah (SWT) ya ce,.

Allah (swt) has obligated us to spread Islam to the world and has specified the method as da‘wah and Jihad, and that Jihad is fard. Accordingly, every male Muslim who reaches the age of fifteen is obliged to enlist in the army and undergo military training to prepare for Jihad. Allah (swt) says,.

"Ku yaƙe su har sai babu sauran fitina, kuma addini ya zama na Allah gaba ɗaya." [TMQ 8:39]. Note: The source text's quote is the English rendering of Qur'an 8:39 that the original gives; the Hausa above follows the sense of that English. If you'd like me to translate it differently or match a specific Hausa Qur'an rendering, let me know.

“And fight them (on) until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevails justice and faith in Allah, altogether and everywhere.” [TMQ 8:39].

Annabi ﷺ ya ce, "Ku yaƙi mutanen da suke haɗa wani abu da Allah da dukiyoyinku, da hannayenku, da harsunanku."

The Prophet (saw) said, “And fight the people who associate (things) with Allah with your wealth, your hand and your tongue.”.

Sojojin an raba su zuwa sassa biyu. Na farko, akwai "sojojin dindindin", waɗanda ake ɗaukar aiki a matsayin sojojin rundunar Ƙasa kuma ana biyansu albashi daga kasafin kuɗin Ƙasa. Na biyu, akwai "sojojin ajiye", waɗanda suka ƙunshi dukkan Musulmai masu iya yaƙi, kuma ana kiransu a lokacin da buƙatar sojoji ta bukaci hakan.

The army is divided into two sections. Firstly, there are the ‘regulars’, who are employed as soldiers of the State’s army and who are paid salaries from the State’s budget. Secondly, there are the ‘reservists’, who comprise of all the Muslims who are capable of fighting, and are mobilised when the demand for soldiers requires it.

Gabaɗaya, Khalifa ne shugaban rundunar soji; shi ne yake naɗa babban kwamanda, janar ga kowace brigade, da kwamanda ga kowace division. Brigadiyoyi da kwamandoji ne suke naɗa sauran matsayin sojoji. Ana naɗa membobin babban hafsan soji ta hanyar ƙwarewarsu a fagen soji, babban shugaban hafsoshi ne yake yin naɗin.

It is generally the Khaleefah who is the leader of the army; he appoints the commander-in-chief, a general for each brigade and a commander for each division. The brigadiers and commanders appoint the remaining ranks of the army. Members of the general staff are appointed according to their military culture by the general chief of staff.

Rundunar Khilafah runduna ɗaya ce, wadda ke zaune a wasu sansanoni na musamman. Wasu daga cikin waɗannan sansanonin dole ne su kasance a larduna daban-daban (wilayaat) da wurare masu muhimmanci, wasu kuma dole ne su zama rundunonin yaƙi masu motsi a koyaushe.

The army of the Khilafah is one army, which is located in specific camps. Some of these camps must be located in different provinces (wilayaat) and strategic locations, and some must remain permanently mobile fighting forces. The camps are organised in numerous groups, each one of which is given a number to accompany its name, such as the 1st Army, the 3rd Army, or it can be named after a province (wilayah) or district (‘imala).

Ɗaya daga cikin ayyukan sojoji a Musulunci shi ne cika wajibcin Jihadi - yaƙi da zahiri (a fagen yaƙi) a kan kafirai, ko dai na kai hari ko na kare kai, domin a ɗaukaka Sunan (addinin) Allah (SWT). Allah (SWT) ya umarci shirya Jihadi a cikin ayar:

One of the functions of the army, in Islam, is to fulfil the obligation of Jihad - the physical fighting (in the field of battle) against the kafiroon (disbelievers), be it offensive or defensive, in order to make the Name (deen) of Allah (swt) dominant. Allah (swt) ordered the preparation for Jihad in the ayah:

"Ku shirya musu (kafirai) duk abin da za ku iya na ƙarfin soji da dawakai masu ɗaure, don ta haka ku razana abokan gābar Allah da abokan gābarku, da wasu waɗanda ba ku sansu ba. Allah yana sanin su. Duk abin da kuka ciyar a hanyar Allah, za a biya ku cikakkiyar ladansa, ba kuwa za a zalunce ku ba." [TMQ 8:60].

“Make ready for them (the unbelievers) all you can of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby you may strike fear into the hearts of the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom you know not. Allah knows them. Whatsoever you spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid for you in full, and will not be wronged.” [TMQ 8:60].

Annabi ﷺ ya nuna karfin Daula ta hanyar fitar da rundunar Musulmi tana tafiya a cikin Madina kafin su tafi Tabuk domin yaki. Wannan aiki ya razana abokan gaba. Kamar yadda ya ce ﷺ: "An ba ni nasara ta hanyar tsoro da aka jefa a zukatan abokan gaba na, ko da daga nesa na tafiyar wata daya."

The Prophet (saw) showed the power of the State by marching the Muslim army inside Madinah before they went to Tabuk for war. This action frightened the enemy. As he (saw) said, “I have been given the victory by the terror thrown in the hearts of my enemies even from the distance of one month travelling.”.

Waɗannan ayyukan sojoji duk suna da alaƙa da kiyaye tsaron ƙasa daga waje.

These functions of the army are all related to maintaining the external security of the State.

Manufofin wajen harkokin waje na Daular Musulunci shi ne yada Musulunci a ko'ina a duniya. Hanyar da Daular take amfani da ita wajen isar da Musulunci ita ce da'wah da Jihadi. Saboda haka, tun da Ummah ta ba Imam ko Khaleefah iko na gudanar da wannan Jihadi, yana da muhimmanci shugaban sojoji ya zama shugaban kasa. Annabi ﷺ ya kulla alaka da wasu bisa tushen yada Musulunci. Ya tabbatar da Yarjejeniyar Hudaybiyyah domin ya samu damar yada Musulunci a ko'ina cikin tsibirin Larabawa. Annabi ﷺ shi ne shugaban kasa a Madinah, kuma ya ba da umarnin tura sojoji zuwa dukkan yakin da ya faru a lokacinsa. Bayan haka, Khulafa'u Rashidun su ma su ne suke ba da umarni a inda da kuma lokacin da sojoji za su yi yaki.

Haka kuma, dole ne jami'an su kasance masu sanin siyasa, don su ci gaba da mayar da hankali kuma kada abokan gaba su yaudare su.

The army is usually the tool that opens up other countries to the da‘wah of Islam. Thus, the army personnel have to be intellectually elevated. Meaning, that they have to be well educated about Islam and be able to convey the message to other people. Furthermore, the personnel have to be politically aware so that they remain focused and are not manipulated by the opponents.

Sojan yana da muhimmanci a cikin isar da saƙon Musulunci ga duniya. Saboda haka, mutanensa dole ne su kasance da ilimi mai zurfi game da Musulunci, kuma su kasance da imani mai ƙarfi. Dole ne sojan ya mayar da hankali wajen gina mutane masu waɗannan halaye a cikin sahunsa. Sojan da yake da imani mai ƙarfi tabbas zai iya cin nasara a kan abokan gābansa. Mun ga wannan a zamanin Manzon Allah ﷺ. Musulmi sun kasance cikin ƙarancin adadi a yaƙe-yaƙe da dama na farko, amma tare da taimakon Allah (SWT) suka samu nasara. Wannan mun gani a yaƙin Badar inda adadin rundunar makiya ya ninka na Musulmi sau uku, da kuma yaƙin Ahzab inda adadin makiya ya ninka na Musulmi sau huɗu.

The army is an integral part of delivering the message of Islam to the world. Its people must, therefore, be highly educated in Islam, and with firm iman. The army must place emphasis on building people with these characteristics within its ranks. An army with strong iman will surely be able to defeat its opponents. We find this to be the case in the time of the Prophet (saw). Muslims were outnumbered in many of the early battles, but with the help of Allah (swt) still achieved victory. This we saw in the battle of Badr where there was a 3 to 1 ratio and in the battle of Ahzab, where there was a 4 to 1 ratio.
