Idara ya Mambo ya Nje inasimamia mambo yote yanayohusiana na mahusiano ya dola ya Khilafah na nchi za kigeni, iwe kwa upande wa kisiasa, au kwa upande wa kiuchumi, viwanda, kilimo na biashara, au mawasiliano ya posta, nyaya na pasi waya, na kadhalika.

The Department of Foreign Affairs is in charge of all the affairs connected to the relations of the Khilafah state with the foreign states, whether from the political angle, or economic, industrial, agricultural and trade aspects, or postal, cable and wireless connections and so on.

Idara ya Mambo ya Nje inachukua jukumu la mambo yote ya nje, yanayohusu uhusiano wa Dola ya Khilafah na nchi za kigeni, mambo hayo na mahusiano hayo yawe yoyote, iwe yanahusiana na upande wa kisiasa na yale yanayojumuisha, kama vile kuunda mikataba, mikataba ya amani, usitishaji wa mapigano, mazungumzo, kuteua mabalozi, kutuma wajumbe na mawakilishi, na kuanzisha ubalozi na konseli, au mahusiano yanayohusiana na mambo ya kiuchumi, kilimo au biashara, pamoja na mawasiliano ya posta au mawasiliano ya waya na bila waya, na kadhalika. Mambo yote haya yanasimamiwa na Idara ya Mambo ya Nje, kwa sababu yanahusu mahusiano ya Dola ya Khilafah na dola nyingine.

The Foreign Affairs Department undertakes the responsibility of all foreign affairs, pertaining to the relation of the Khilafah State with foreign states, whatever these affairs and relations may be, whether they are related to the political aspect and what it entails in the forming of pacts, peace treaties, ceasefires, negotiations, appointing ambassadors, sending Messengers and delegates, and establishing embassies and consulates, or relations that are related to matters that are economic, agricultural or are to do with trade, as well as postal communications or wire and wireless communications and so on. All of these matters are run by the Foreign Affairs Department, because they are concerned with the relations of the Khilafah State with other States.

Mjumbe (ﷺ) alikuwa akianzisha mahusiano ya kidiplomasia na nchi na mamlaka nyingine, kama ilivyoelezwa katika sehemu inayohusu msaidizi mkuu wa utendaji. Alimtuma ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan (ra) kwenda kufanya mazungumzo na Quraysh, kama vile alivyofanya mazungumzo na wajumbe wa Quraysh. Alituma wajumbe kwa wafalme, na alikuwa akiwapokea wajumbe wa wafalme na maamiri, akahitimisha mikataba na makubaliano ya amani. Vivyo hivyo, Khulafaa’ wake (ﷺ) walikuwa wakianzisha mahusiano ya kisiasa na nchi na mamlaka nyingine. Walikuwa wakiwateua watu kutekeleza vitendo hivyo kwa niaba yao, kwa msingi kwamba kitendo chochote ambacho mtu anaweza kukitekeleza mwenyewe, anaweza kukimkabidhi mtu mwingine ili amtekelezee kwa niaba yake.

The Messenger (pbuh) used to establish foreign relations with other states and entities, as was explained in the section regarding the executive assistant. He (pbuh) sent ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan (ra) to negotiate with Quraysh just as he (pbuh) negotiated with the delegates of Quraysh. He (pbuh) sent delegates to the kings and he (pbuh) received the delegates of kings and Amirs and concluded pacts and peace treaties. Similarly, his (pbuh) Khulafaa’ used to establish political relations with other states and entities. They would appoint people to carry these actions out on their behalf, on the basis that whatever action a person can perform by himself, he can delegate it to some other person to carry it out on his behalf.

Kutokana na matatizo ya maisha ya kimataifa, na upana na utofauti wa mahusiano ya kisiasa ya kimataifa, tunapitisha kwamba Khalifah amkabidhi taasisi maalum ndani ya dola, inayohusika na mahusiano ya kimataifa, ambapo Khalifah anafuatilia kazi yake kama anavyofanya kwa taasisi nyingine yoyote ya kutawala na kiutawala ndani ya dola, iwe moja kwa moja au kupitia msaidizi mtendaji, kwa mujibu wa hukumu husika za Shari'ah.

Due to the complications of international life, and the vastness and variety of international political relations, we adopt that the Khalifah should delegate an institution within the state specific to the international relations where the Khalifah follows its work as he does with any other ruling and administrative institutions in the state, whether directly or through the executive assistant, in accordance with the related Shari’ah rules.
