Information is one of the most important matters for the da'wah and State. It is not one of the interests (masalih) of the people that follow the department of people's affairs. It is rather directly connected with the Khalifah as an independent organisation, just like any one of the State's organisations. .

The presence of a distinguished information policy that presents Islam strongly and effectively would provoke the minds of the people to turn toward Islam, and to study and think of it. It also facilitates the annexation of Muslim lands to the Khilafah State. Furthermore, there are many issues of information which are closely related to the State, and they cannot be published without the Khalifah's instruction. This is manifested in the military matters and related issues, such as the movement of the armies, and the news of victory and defeat and the military industries. This type of news must be linked directly to the Imam so as to decide which news has to be concealed and which news must be announced and advertised. .

Shaidar wannan ita ce Littafi da Sunnah. Dangane da Littafi, faɗin Sa (S.W.T): .

The evidence to this is the Book and the Sunnah. As regarding the Book, His (S.W.T) saying: .

"Kuma idan wani labari ya zo musu, na tsaro ko na tsoro, sai su yada shi. Amma da sun mayar da shi ga Manzon Allah ﷺ da kuma masu iko a cikinsu, da waɗanda suke iya fahimtar al'amari daga cikinsu sun sani." [TMQ 4:83]

"And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come to them, they announce it, whereas if they had referred it to the Messenger and those in authority, then those among them who are able to think out of the matter would have known it." [TMQ 4:83] .

Maudu'in ayar shi ne labari.

The subject of the verse is the news. .

Game da Sunnah kuwa, akwai hadisin Ibn Abbas game da fatar Makkah wanda Al-Hakim ya ruwaito a cikin Al-Mustadrak, kuma ya bayyana shi da sahih bisa sharuddan Muslim, Al-Dhahabi kuma ya tabbatar da hakan. Hadisin ya ce: "An boye labarai ga Quraishawa; don haka labarin Manzon Allah ﷺ bai isa gare su ba, kuma ba su san abin da yake shirinsa a kansu ba." Akwai kuma hadisin mursal (hadisin da ba a haɗa shi kai tsaye da Manzon Allah ﷺ ba, sai dai sunan wani sahabi ya ɓace) na Abu Salamah wanda Ibn Abu Shaybah ya ruwaito, wanda ya ambaci cewa:

As regarding the Sunnah it is the hadith of Ibn Abbas about the conquest of Makkah as is reported by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, described as sahih based on the condition of Muslim, and Al-Dhahabi confirmed that. The hadith mentions: "The news were obscured to Quraish; so the news of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would not reach them, and nor they know what he is planning regarding them." . There is also the mursal (hadith not directly connected to the Messenger (PBUH), rather the name of a sahabi is missing) of Abu Salamah as reported by Ibn Abu Shaybah, which mentions: .

Sa'an nan Annabi ﷺ ya ce wa Ayisha: "Ki shirya min abubuwa, kuma kada ki gaya wa kowa haka." Sai ya umarci a rufe hanyoyi, don haka aka hana mutanen Makka fita, ta yadda labari ba zai isa gare su ba.

"Then the Prophet (PBUH) said to Ayesha: Prepare (things to) me and do not tell anybody of that. Then he ordered that roads be shut off, so people of Makkah were obstructed, and thus no news would reach them." .

Akwai kuma hadisin Ka'b, wanda aka amince da shi (muttafaqun 'alaihi), dangane da yakin 'usrah (Tabuk), wanda ya ce:

There is also the hadith of Ka'b which is agreed upon regarding the ghazwah of 'usrah (Tabuk), which says: .

Manzon Allah ﷺ bai taɓa son yin wata ghazwah ba tare da ya yi ishara zuwa wani abu ba, sai dai a cikin wannan ghazwah, wadda ya yi a lokacin zafi mai tsanani, a wuri mai nisa, a cikin hamada, da kuma babban abokin gaba. Saboda haka, ya bayyana wa Musulmai al'amarinsu don su shirya domin yakinsu, kuma ya sanar da su wurin da yake so ya nufa.

"The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) never wanted a ghazwah without alluding to something else except in that ghazwah, which he made during a very hot weather, a distant place, a desert and a huge enemy. So, he explained to the Muslims their matter to be ready for their raid, and he thus informed them of the destination he wants." .

Akwai kuma hadisin Anas kamar yadda Al-Bukhari ya ruwaito: .

There is also the hadith of Anas as reported by Al-Bukhari: .

Annabi ﷺ ya sanar da mutuwar Zaid, Ja'afar da Ibn Ruwahah kafin labarin mutuwarsu ya isa gare shi. Ya ce: Zaid ya karɓi tuta amma aka kashe shi, sannan Ja'afar ya karɓa shi ma aka kashe shi, sannan Ibn Ruwahah ya karɓa shi ma aka kashe shi; ya faɗi haka yana kuka. Daga ƙarshe ɗaya daga cikin takobin Allah ya karɓa, har Allah ya ba su nasara. [Bukhari, Sahih, #3757].

"The Prophet (PBUH) announced the death of Zayd, Ja'far and Ibn Ruwahah before the news of their death reached him. He said: Zayd took the flag but he was killed, then Ja'far took it and he was killed, then Ibn Ruwahah took it and he was killed; he said that while he was crying. Lastly one of the swords of Allah took it till Allah granted them victory." [Bukhari, Sahih, #3757]. .

Wasu daga cikin misalan aiwatar da wannan ka'ida a zamanin Khulafa'u Rashidun shi ne abin da Ibn Al-Mubarak ya riwaito a babin jihadi, kuma Al-Hakim ya ruwaito shi a cikin Al-Mustadrak, ya kuma bayyana shi da cewa sahihi ne bisa sharadin Muslim, Al-Dhahabi kuma ya amince da hakan, daga Zayd ibn Aslam daga mahaifinsa daga 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab, cewa: "An sanar da shi cewa Abu Ubaydah ya kewaye, makiya kuma sun taru a kansa. Sai 'Umar ya rubuta masa cewa: 'Aminci ya tabbata a gare ka. Bayan haka, babu wata wahala da take samun mumini face Allah ya samar masa da hanyar fita daga cikinta; kuma wahala ba za ta iya cin nasara a kan sauki biyu ba.'"

Some of the applications of this rule at the time of the Rashidun is that which is narrated by Ibn Al-Mubarak in the subject of jihad, Al-Hakim reported in Al- Mustadrak and he described it as sahih based on the condition of Muslim, which Al-Dhahabi agreed to, from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father from ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab "that he was informed that Abu Ubaydah was surrounded and the enemy rallied against him. So, ‘Umar wrote to him, ‘Peace is upon you. After that, there is not any difficulty that befalls a believer except Allah made for him a way out of it; and never a hardship would defeat two eases.’” .

Ya ku waɗanda suka yi imani! Ku yi haƙuri, ku fi kowa haƙuri, ku kasance cikin shiri, kuma ku kiyaye taƙawar Allah, domin ku samu rabauta.' (3:200).

O you who believe! Endure, out do all others endurance, be ready and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed.' (3:200).

Ya ce: Abu 'Ubaydah ya rubuta masa, "Assalamu alaikum. Bayan haka, Allah ya ce a cikin Littafinsa: .

He said: Abu ‘Ubaydah wrote to him, “Peace is upon you, after that Allah says in His Book: .

"Ku sani cewa rayuwar duniya wasa ce kawai, da raha, da alfahari, da fariya a tsakaninku, da gasa a kan dukiya da 'ya'ya." (57: 20).

'Know that the life of this world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children.” (57: 20). .

Ya ce, sai Umar ya fita yana riƙe da littafinsa, ya zauna a kan mimbari ya karanta shi ga mutanen Madina, ya ce: "Ya ku mutanen Madina! Abu Ubaydah yana nuna muku cewa ya kamata ku nuna sha'awa ga jihadi."

He said, then ‘Umar went out holding his book, sat on the mimbar and read it to the people of Al-Madinah and said, “O people of Al-Madinah! Abu Ubaydah alludes to you that you should show interest in jihad." .

Al'amuran da suka danganci labaran soja su ne labaran shawarwari, yarjejeniyoyin zaman lafiya da muhawarori da ke gudana tsakanin Khalifah ko mataimakinsa da wakilan kasashen kafirai. Misali na shawarwari shi ne wanda ya gudana tsakanin Annabi ﷺ da wakilan Quraish a Al-Hudaibiyya har aka cimma yarjejeniya kan sharuddan zaman lafiya. Misali na muhawarorinsa kai tsaye shi ne muhawarar Annabi ﷺ da wakilan Najran, da kiran da ya yi musu su la'anci juna idan ba mu fadi gaskiya ba. Wannan ya zo tare da muhawarar Thabit dan Qais da Hassan da wakilan Banu Tamim bisa umarnin Annabi ﷺ.

The issues that are connected with the military news are the news of the negotiations, peace treaties and debates that take place between the Khalifah or his deputy and the representatives of the kufr states. As an example to the negotiations is that which took place between him ( PBUH) and the representatives of Quraish in Al-Hudaybiyah till agreement was reached over the clauses of the peace. The example of his direct debates is his (PBUH) debate with the delegate of Jajran and calling them to curse each other in case we did not say the truth. This is also alongside the debate of Thabit ibn Qays and Hassan to the delegate of Tamim based on the order of the Prophet (PBUH). .

Duk wannan an buɗe shi ba tare da wata ɓoyayyiyar doka a cikinsa ba. Duk da haka, sauran nau'o'in labarai ba su da alaƙa kai tsaye da Dawla, kuma ba sa buƙatar ra'ayin kai tsaye na Halifa a kansu, kamar labaran yau da kullum, shirye-shiryen siyasa, al'adu da kimiyya, da abubuwan da ke faruwa a duniya; sai dai suna shiga wasu cikakkun bayanai na ra'ayin rayuwa, da kuma ra'ayin Dawla game da alaƙar ƙasashen duniya. Saboda haka, kulawar Dawla a kan waɗannan nau'o'in labarai ta bambanta da kulawarta a kan nau'in labarai na farko.

All of this was open without any secret clause in it. Though other types of news have no direct connection with the State, and they do not need the direct opinion of the Khalifah regarding them, such as the daily news, the political, cultural and scientific programs and the international events, they however interfere with some details of the viewpoint in life, and with the view of the State towards international relations. Therefore, the supervision of the State over these types of news differs from it over the first type of news. .

Saboda haka, tsarin bayanai ya kamata ya ƙunshi manyan sassa guda biyu:

Thereupon, the organisation of information must contain two main departments: .

Aikinta yana da alaƙa da labarai masu danganta da Gwamnati, kamar al'amuran soja, masana'antar soja, dangantakar ƙasa da ƙasa, da sauransu. Aikin wannan sashe shi ne kula kai tsaye da irin waɗannan labarai. Saboda haka, ba a watsa irin waɗannan labarai a kafafen yaɗa labarai na Gwamnati ko na musamman sai bayan an gabatar da su ga hukumar yaɗa labarai.

The first: Its task is related to news that has connection with the State, such as the military matters, the military industry and international relations, etc. The task of this department is the direct supervision of such news. So, such news is not broadcasted in the state media or the special sources of media except after their presentation to the information organisation. .

Na biyu: yana da alaƙa da sauran labarai, kuma kulawarsa a kansu ba kai tsaye ba ce. Majiyar kafofin watsa labarai ta Gwamnati da kuma majiyoyin watsa labarai na musamman ba sa buƙatar izini don gabatar da irin wannan labari.

The second: is related to other news; and its supervision of them is not direct. The State's source of media and the special sources of media do not need any permission for presenting such news. .
