Msaidizi mtendaji yuko moja kwa moja kuhusiana na Khalifah, kama msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa, na anachukuliwa kuwa msaidizi, lakini tu katika suala la utekelezaji na si katika kutawala.

The executive assistant is directly connected to the Khalifah, like the delegated assistant, and is considered as an assistant but only in terms of execution and not in ruling.

Khalifa ni mtawala ambaye huchukua madaraka ya utawala na utekelezaji, na kusimamia mambo ya watu. Kuchukua madaraka ya utawala, utekelezaji na kusimamia mambo ya watu kunahitaji kazi za kiutawala, na hili linalazimu kuwepo kwa muundo maalum ambao utakuwa kwa Khalifa ili kusimamia mambo yanayohitajika kutokana na majukumu ya Khilafah. Hivyo, hili linalazimu kuwepo kwa wasaidizi wanaoteuliwa na Khalifa ili kutekeleza na kufanya vitendo vya kiutawala, si vitendo vya utawala wa madaraka. Kazi yao ni kumsaidia Khalifa katika shughuli za kiutawala, si katika utawala wa madaraka, hivyo yeye hafanyi kitendo chochote cha utawala ambacho msaidizi aliyekabidhiwa angekifanya. Kwa hiyo, hateuliwi kuwa gavana wala mfanyakazi (’Amil), wala hasimamii mambo ya watu, bali kazi yake ni ya kiutawala ya kutekeleza vitendo vya utawala, na vitendo vya kiutawala vinavyotolewa na Khalifa na wasaidizi waliokabidhiwa. Kwa sababu hiyo, anaitwa msaidizi mtendaji.

The Khalifah is the ruler who undertakes the ruling and the implementation, and governing the peoples’ affairs. Undertaking the ruling, implementation and governing requires administrative work and this necessitates the creation of a specific structure which would be with the Khalifah to manage the affairs which are required by the responsibilities of the Khilafah. So this necessitates assistants who are appointed by the Khalifah to execute and carry out the administrative actions, not the actions of ruling. So their action is to assist the Khalifah in administration, not ruling, and so he does not undertake any action of ruling that the delegated assistant would do. Therefore, he is not appointed as a governor or worker (’Amil), and does not govern the peoples’ affairs, but rather his work is administrative to execute the ruling actions, and the administrative actions that are issued from the Khalifah and the delegated assistants. For that reason, he is called the executive assistant.
