Zaidi, anahitaji pia kuwasiliana na watu wa mkoa wake wakati anapowatawala, kwa sababu mbili: kukusanya taarifa anazozihitaji mtawala, na kujua maoni ya watu wa mkoa kuhusu utawala wake. Kwa hiyo ni lazima amrejee watu wa mkoa wake. Ili kurahisisha urejeo huu, mtawala huanzisha baraza la mkoa linalochaguliwa miongoni mwa watu wa mkoa wake, ili aweze kulirejea kwa mambo hayo mawili: kukusanya taarifa na kujua maoni ya watu wa mkoa kuhusu utawala wa mtawala. Kwa msingi huo, baraza hili halina shauri wala kuchukua maoni, wala halihusiki na utekelezaji wa utawala; bali kazi yake ni kuangalia mwenendo wa kiutawala. Maoni yake si ya lazima kufuatwa, bali yapo ili kumsaidia mtawala. Aliyeanzisha baraza hili kwa mara ya kwanza ni Umar bin ’Abd Al-’Aziz, kwa kuwa kabla hajawa Khalifa, alikuwa mtawala wa Madina. Alipokuwa akifanya baraza la uongozi, alikutana na watu wawili waliokuwa viongozi wa maoni na wakuu wa kabila zao, akawaambia: “Hili ni baraza la uovu na fitina, nanyi hamna kazi nyingine zaidi ya kunichunguza (kunifuatilia). Basi mkiona jambo lisilokubaliana na Haki, nikumbusheni Allah na mnifanye niogope Yeye.” Kwa hiyo msingi ni kurejea watu wa mkoa na kufuatiliwa kwa mtawala kutoka upande wao, na ili kufikia urejeo huu, baraza la mkoa huundwa pamoja na mtawala.

Additionally, it is imperative for him to refer to the people of his province while he is governing them, due to the following two reasons: to gather the information which the governor requires and for his knowledge of what the people of his province think about his ruling – ,therefore, it is necessary for him to refer to the people of his province. To facilitate this reference, the governor establishes a provincial assembly which is elected from the people of his province, so that he can refer to it for the two issues: gathering information and knowing the opinion of the people of the province regarding the rule of the governor. Accordingly, this assembly does not have any consultation (Shura) or taking of opinion and nothing to do with the practice of ruling; rather it is to look into the administrative action. Its opinion is not binding but rather it is present in order to assist the governor. The first one who created this assembly was Umar b. ’Abd Al-’Aziz, since before he became the Khalifah, he was the governor over Madinah, and if he conducted a leadership assembly, he would meet two men of the opinion formers and leaders of their tribes, and said to them “It is an assembly of evil and strife, and you two have no action other than to examine me (monitor me), so if you see something which does not agree with the Truth, then remind me of Allah and make me fear Him”. So the origin is to refer to the people of the province and the observation of the governor from their side and in order to achieve this reference, a provincial assembly is created beside the governor.
