Wasaidizi waliokabidhiwa mamlaka (Mu‘awin Tafweedh) huteuliwa na Khalifa ili kumsaidia katika kuongoza Dola. Dalili ya uteuzi huu inatokana na hadithi ya Mtume ﷺ ambayo alisema: "Mawaziri wangu wawili miongoni mwa watu ni Abu Bakr na ‘Umar." (Tirmidhi).

The delegated assistants (Mu‘awin Tafweedh) are appointed by the Khaleefah to assist him in ruling the State. The evidence for this appointment is derived from the hadith of the Prophet (saw) in which he said, “My two ministers (wazirs) from the people are Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.” (Tirmidhi).

Uislamu, kwa upande mwingine, unaruhusu mawaziri hawa kwenda zaidi ya kazi maalum. Mawaziri ambao Mtume ﷺ aliwateua hawakuwa wataalamu wa kazi moja wala hawakupangiwa kazi maalum peke yake. Kwa hiyo ni afadhali kutumia neno Mu‘awin (msaidizi) badala ya mawaziri, ili lisichanganywe na istilahi ya Kimagharibi ya waziri.

Islam, on the other hand, allows these ministers to go beyond a specific function. The ministers whom the Prophet (saw) appointed were not specialised or assigned restrictively to a specific function. It is therefore preferable to use the word Mu‘awin (assistant) instead of ministers, so as not to confuse it with the Western terminology of minister.

Msaidizi aliyefwatiwa madaraka ni yule ambaye Khalifah anamfwatisha kutekeleza kazi zote kwa njia ya ufwatishaji wa jumla. Katika kumteua msaidizi aliyefwatiwa madaraka, ni lazima kwa Khalifah kutaja katika mkataba pande zote mbili, yaani hukumu ya jumla na kuwa msaidizi wake, kwa sababu kumteua katika upande mmoja tu kunapunguza kazi yake kama Mu‘awin.

The delegated assistant is one whom the Khaleefah delegates to perform all functions in the way of general delegations. In the appointment of the Delegated assistant it is necessary for the Khaleefah to cite both the aspects of general ruling and being his assistant in the contract, because appointing him in only one aspect restricts his function as a Mu‘awin.

Ilikuwa hivyo alipomteua Abu Bakr 'Umar kuwa msaidizi wake, na alipomchukua 'Umar 'Uthman na 'Ali kuwa wasaidizi wake, na alipomchukua 'Uthman Marwan ibn al-Hakam na 'Ali kuwa wasaidizi wake. Wasaidizi hawa waliopewa madaraka wanawajibika kwa Khalifah, na huwajulisha Khalifah mambo yanayowazunguka.

Such was the case when Abu Bakr appointed ‘Umar as his assistant, and when ‘Umar took ‘Uthman and ‘Ali as his assistants, and when ‘Uthman took Marwan ibn al-Hakam and ‘Ali as his assistants. These delegated assistants are responsible to the Khaleefah and they inform the Khaleefah of the matters surrounding them.

Kwa hiyo, wasaidizi walioteuliwa wana wajibu wa jumla katika kuendesha Dola, na lazima wateuliwe na Khalifah kwa wajibu huu wa jumla. Wanawajibika kwa Khalifah kwa matendo yao, na Khalifah lazima achunguze matendo na maamuzi yaliyokabidhiwa kwa wasaidizi hawa walioteuliwa. Ni lazima tukumbuke kwamba mkataba wa kuendesha dola ni kati ya Ummah na Khalifah peke yao. Ni Khalifah ambaye hatimaye anawajibika kwa utekelezaji sahihi wa Uislamu miongoni mwa watu.

The delegated assistants, therefore, have a general responsibility in ruling the State and must be appointed by the Khaleefah for this general responsibility. They are responsible to the Khaleefah for their actions and the Khaleefah must examine the delegated actions and disposals of these delegated assistants. We must remember that the contract for ruling is between the Ummah and the Khaleefah alone. It is the Khaleefah who is finally responsible for the proper implementation of Islam on the people.
