Taasisi ya Ofisi ya Vyombo vya Habari inawajibika kuandaa na kutekeleza mkakati wa kisiasa wa vyombo vya habari kwa ajili ya Dola, ili kuunga mkono maslahi ya Uislamu na Waislamu. Ndani ya nchi, inafanya kazi ya kujenga jamii ya Kiislamu iliyo imara na yenye mshikamano, na inakanusha yale yote yenye nia mbaya huku ikithibitisha yale yaliyo mema. Katika mambo ya nje, jukumu lake ni kueneza Uislamu wakati wa amani na vita, kwa namna inayoeleza ukuu wa Uislamu, haki yake, na nguvu ya jeshi lake, pamoja na kufichua ufisadi na dhuluma za mfumo wa kibinadamu na udhaifu wa jeshi lake.

The institution of the Media Office is responsible for drawing up and executing the political media strategy for the State in order to support the interests of Islam and the Muslims. Internally, it works to build an Islamic society that is strong and cohesive, and it refutes that which is malicious while confirming that which is good. In external affairs it is to promote Islam during peace and war, in a manner that explains the greatness of Islam, its justice and the strength of its army, and expose the corruption and oppression of manmade system and the weakness of its army.

Vyombo vya habari ni miongoni mwa mambo muhimu kwa wito wa Uislamu (Da’wah) na kwa Dola. Si miongoni mwa maslahi ya watu yaliyo chini ya mamlaka ya idara ya mambo ya watu. Badala yake, vinahusiana moja kwa moja na Khalifah kama taasisi huru, kama ilivyo taasisi yoyote ya Dola.

Media is one of the important matters for the call to Islam (Da’wah) and the State. It is not one of the interests of the people that are under the authority of the department of peoples’ affairs. Rather, it is directly connected to the Khalifah as an independent institution, just like any of the institutions of the State.

Uwepo wa sera bora ya vyombo vya habari inayowasilisha Uislamu kwa nguvu na kwa ufanisi kungeamsha akili za watu kugeukia Uislamu, kuusoma na kuufikiria. Pia ingerahisisha kuunganishwa kwa ardhi za Kiislamu kwenye Dola ya Khilafah. Zaidi ya hayo, kuna masuala mengi ya vyombo vya habari yanayohusiana kwa karibu na Dola, na hayawezi kuchapishwa bila maagizo ya Khalifah. Hili linajidhihirisha katika mambo ya kijeshi na masuala yanayohusiana nayo, kama vile mienendo ya majeshi, habari za ushindi na kushindwa, na viwanda vya kijeshi. Aina hii ya habari lazima iunganishwe moja kwa moja na Imamu ili aamue ni habari gani ifichwe na ni habari gani itangazwe na kutangazwa.

The presence of a distinguished media policy that presents Islam strongly and effectively would provoke the minds of the people to turn toward Islam, to study it and to think about it. It also facilitates the annexation of Islamic lands to the Khilafah State. Furthermore, there are many issues of media 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 he can decide which news has to be concealed and which news must be announced and advertised.

Ushahidi wa hili ni Kitabu na Sunnah. Kwa upande wa Kitabu, ni kauli yake (SWT):

The evidence for this is the Book and the Sunnah. With regards to the Book, His (swt) saying:

"Na inapowafikia habari za amani au hofu, huzieneza. Lakini kama wangezirudisha kwa Mtume ﷺ na kwa wenye mamlaka miongoni mwao, basi wale wanaoweza kuzichambua kwa usahihi wangezijua." (TMQ 4:83) - mada ya aya hii ni habari.

“And when there comes to them information about [public] security or fear, they spread it around. But if they had referred it back to the Messenger (pbuh) or to those of authority among them, then the ones who [can] draw correct conclusions from it would have known about it.” (TMQ 4:83) - the subject of the verse is the news.

Kuhusu Sunnah, ni simulizi ya Ibn ‘Abbas kuhusu ushindi wa Makkah, kama ilivyopokelewa na Al-Hakim katika Al-Mustadrak, na ametaja kuwa ni sahihi kulingana na sharti la Muslim, na Al-Dhahabi amelithibitisha hilo. Simulizi hilo linasema:

With regards to the Sunnah it is the narration of Ibn ‘Abbas about the conquest of Makkah as is reported by Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak, described as authentic based on the condition of Muslim, and Al-Dhahabi confirmed that. The narration mentions:

. وَلاَ يَدْرُونَ وَقَدْ عَمِيَتِ الأَخْ بَارُ عَلَى قُ رَيْشٍ، فَلاَ يَأْتِيهِمْ خَبَ رُ رَسُولِ اللهِ « » مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ .

. وَلاَ يَدْرُونَ وَقَدْ عَمِيَتِ الأَخْ بَارُ عَلَى قُ رَيْشٍ، فَلاَ يَأْتِيهِمْ خَبَ رُ رَسُولِ اللهِ « » مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ .

"Habari hizo zilifichwa kutoka kwa Quraysh; hivyo habari za Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ zisingewafikia, wala wasingejua analopanga kuhusu wao." Pia kuna Mursal (simulizi isiyounganishwa moja kwa moja na Mjumbe ﷺ, bali jina la sahaba limeachwa) ya Abu Salamah kama ilivyopokewa na Ibn Abi Shaybah, ambayo inataja: "Kisha Nabii ﷺ akamwambia 'Aisha:

“The news was obscured from Quraysh; so the news of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) would not reach them, and nor would they know what he is planning regarding them”. There is also the Mursal (narration not directly connected to the Messenger (pbuh) rather the name of a companion is missing) of Abu Salamah as reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah, which mentions: “Then the Prophet (phuh) said to 'Aisha:

. جَهِّزِينِي وَلاَ تُ عْلِمِي بِذَلِكَ أَحَد اً، ... ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بيالطُّرُي ق فَحُبيسَتْ، فَ عَمَّى عَلَى أَهْيل مَكَّةَ لاَ يَأْتيييهمْ خَبَ رٌ .

. جَهِّزِينِي وَلاَ تُ عْلِمِي بِذَلِكَ أَحَد اً، ... ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بيالطُّرُي ق فَحُبيسَتْ، فَ عَمَّى عَلَى أَهْيل مَكَّةَ لاَ يَأْتيييهمْ خَبَ رٌ .

"Iandae mimi, na usimwambie yeyote kuhusu hilo..." Kisha akaamuru barabara kuu zizuiliwe, na hivyo watu wa Makkah wakawekwa gizani, na habari hazikuwafikia.

‘Prepare me, and do not tell anyone about it…and then he commanded that the highways be obstructed, and so the people of Makkah were kept in the dark and no news reached them.’”.

Pia kuna riwaya ya Ka'b ambayo imekubaliwa kuhusu Vita vya Tabuk (msafara wa Dhiki), ambayo inasema:

There is also the narration of Ka’b which is agreed upon regarding the Battle of Tabuk (the expedition of Hardship) which says:

. يُيريدُ غَ زْوَةً إيلا وَرَّى بيغَ يْ يرهَا، حَتََّّ كَانَتْ تيلْكَ الْغَزْوَةُ وَلََْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّيه « يفي حَرٍّ شَ ي ديدٍ، وَاسْ تَ قْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعييدًا وَمَفَازًا وَعَدُوًّا كَثييرًا، فَجَلَّى غَزَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّيه » ليلْمُسْليي مينَ أَمْرَهُمْ لييَتَأَهَّ بُوا أُهْ بَةَ غَزْيويهمْ، فَ أَخْ بَ رَهُمْ بيوَجْيهيه الَّ ي ذي يُيريدُ .

. يُيريدُ غَ زْوَةً إيلا وَرَّى بيغَ يْ يرهَا، حَتََّّ كَانَتْ تيلْكَ الْغَزْوَةُ وَلََْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّيه « يفي حَرٍّ شَ ي ديدٍ، وَاسْ تَ قْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعييدًا وَمَفَازًا وَعَدُوًّا كَثييرًا، فَجَلَّى غَزَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّيه » ليلْمُسْليي مينَ أَمْرَهُمْ لييَتَأَهَّ بُوا أُهْ بَةَ غَزْيويهمْ، فَ أَخْ بَ رَهُمْ بيوَجْيهيه الَّ ي ذي يُيريدُ .

"Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ hakuwahi kuanzisha msafara wa kijeshi bila kutaja jambo jingine kwa njia ya dokezo, isipokuwa katika kipindi cha joto kali, safari ya mbali, jangwa na adui mkubwa. Hivyo, aliwaeleza Waislamu hali yao ili wajiandae kwa safari yao ya kivita, na hivyo akawajulisha lengo alilolitaka."

“The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) never intended an expedition without alluding to something else, until 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.”.

Pia kuna riwaya ya Anas kama ilivyopokewa na Al-Bukhari.

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

. ن عََى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ليلنَّا ي س قَ بْلَ أَنْ يَأْتييَ هُمْ خَبَ رُهُمْ فَ قَالَ: أَنَّ النَّيبَِّ « أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ، وَعَيْ نَاهُ » تَذْرِفَانِ، حَتَّى أَخَذَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَ تَّى فَ تَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ .

. ن عََى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ ليلنَّا ي س قَ بْلَ أَنْ يَأْتييَ هُمْ خَبَ رُهُمْ فَ قَالَ: أَنَّ النَّيبَِّ « أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ، وَعَيْ نَاهُ » تَذْرِفَانِ، حَتَّى أَخَذَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَ تَّى فَ تَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ .

"Mtume ﷺ alitangaza kifo cha Zayd, Ja'far na Ibn Ruwaha kabla habari za kifo chao hazijamfikia. Alisema: Zayd alichukua bendera lakini aliuawa, kisha Ja'far akaichukua naye akauawa, kisha Ibn Ruwahah akaichukua naye akauawa; alisema hayo huku akilia. Mwishowe mmoja wa panga za Allah aliichukua hadi Allah awape ushindi."

“The Prophet (phuh) announced the death of Zayd, Ja'far and Ibn Ruwaha 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.”.

Baadhi ya mifano ya kanuni hii wakati wa Makhalifa Waongofu ni ile iliyosimuliwa na Ibn Al-Mubarak katika kitabu cha Jihad; Al-Hakim aliipokea katika Al-Mustadrak - na akaiona kuwa sahihi kwa sharti la Muslim, jambo ambalo Al-Dhahabi alilikubali - kutoka kwa Zayd b. Aslam, kutoka kwa baba yake, kutoka kwa Umar b. Al-Khattab (ra) kwamba: "Alipewa habari kwamba Abu 'Ubaydah amezingirwa na adui amemkusanyikia. Basi Umar akamwandikia: 'Amani iwe juu yako. Baada ya hayo, hakuna dhiki yoyote inayompata muumini isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu humfanyia njia ya kutoka humo; na hakuna ugumu utakaoshinda yuso mbili.'"

Some of the applications of this rule at the time of the Righteous Khulafaa’ is that which is narrated by Ibn Al-Mubarak in the subject of Jihad; Al-Hakim reported in Al-Mustadrak - and he considered it authentic based on the condition of Muslim, which Al-Dhahabi confirmed - from Zayd b. Aslam from his father from Umar b. Al-Khattab (ra) “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.’.

“Enyi mlioamini, subirini na mvumilie na mbaki tayari, na mcheni Allah ili mpate kufaulu.” (TMQ 3:200) Alisema: Abu ‘Ubaydah alimwandikia, “Amani iwe juu yako. Baada ya hayo, Allah anasema katika Kitabu Chake:

“O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.” (TMQ 3:200) He said: Abu ‘Ubaydah wrote to him, “Peace is upon you, after that Allah says in His Book:

“Jueni kwamba uhai wa dunia hii si chochote ila ni burudani na mchezo na pambo na kujivuna kwa baina yenu na kushindana katika kuongeza mali na watoto.” ({TMQ 57: 20}). Akasema: Kisha Umar alitoka akiwa ameshika barua yake, akakaa juu ya mimbari na kuisoma kwa watu wa Madina, akasema: “Enyi watu wa Madina! Abu ‘Ubaydah anawaambieni kwamba mnapaswa kuonyesha hamu ya Jihadi.”

“Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children .” (TMQ 57: 20). He said, then Umar went out holding his letter, sat on the pulpit and read it to the people of Madinah and said, “O people of Madinah! Abu ‘Ubaydah expresses to you that you should show interest in Jihad.”.

Kuna aina nyingine za habari ambazo hazina uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na Dola, na hazihitaji maoni ya moja kwa moja ya Khalifah, kama vile habari za kila siku, vipindi vya kisiasa, kiutamaduni na kisayansi, pamoja na masuala ya kimataifa. Ingawa haya yanaweza kugusa mtazamo wa maisha katika baadhi ya sehemu, na msimamo wa Dola kuhusu mahusiano ya kimataifa, lakini licha ya hayo, aina ya udhibiti wa Dola juu yake hutofautiana na aina ya kwanza ya habari.

There are other types of news which have no direct connection to the State, and do not require the direct opinion of the Khalifah, such as the daily news, the political, cultural, and scientific programmes, and the international affairs. Though these may interfere with the viewpoint of life in some parts, and with the view of the State towards international relations, but despite that the type of State control over them differs from the first type of news.

Kwa hiyo, taasisi ya vyombo vya habari lazima iwe na idara kuu mbili:

Accordingly the media institution must contain two main departments:

Kazi yake inahusu habari zinazohusiana na Dola, kama vile mambo ya kijeshi, sekta ya viwanda vya kijeshi, mahusiano ya kimataifa, na mengineyo.

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, and so on.

Kazi ya idara hii ni usimamizi wa moja kwa moja wa habari za aina hii. Kwa hiyo, habari kama hizo hazirushwi katika vyombo vya habari vya serikali au vyanzo maalum vya habari isipokuwa baada ya kuwasilishwa kwa taasisi ya vyombo vya habari.

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 institute of media.

La pili: inahusiana na habari nyingine; na usimamizi wake juu yake si wa moja kwa moja. Vyombo vya habari vya serikali na vya binafsi havihitaji ruhusa yoyote ili kuwasilisha habari za aina hii.

The second: is related to other news; and its supervision of them is not direct. Both state and private media do not need any permission for presenting such news.
