Majlis al-Ummah ni sehemu ya muundo wa utawala wa Uislamu. Hushughulikia mambo ambayo ni mubah na hayahitaji mtaalamu ili kufikia hitimisho sahihi. Maamuzi ya Majlis al-Ummah haya yanaitwa "mashura". Maoni ya wengi ndiyo maoni yanayofunga katika kesi hii, kwa kuwa katika mambo ya mubah hakuna usahihi au makosa yaliyowekwa. Khalifa kwa hiyo analazimika kuheshimu maoni ya Majlis al-Ummah, mradi maoni hayo yako ndani ya eneo la kisheria la maoni kwa Majlis al-Ummah. Hili linathibitishwa na hadithi ya Mtume ﷺ: "Mkikubaliana juu ya mashura (akimaanisha Umar na Abu Bakr), sitapingana nayo.."

The Majlis al-Ummah is part of the ruling structure of Islam. It deals with matters which are mubah and do not require an expert to arrive at the correct conclusion. These decisions of the Majlis al-Ummah are termed as ‘mashura’. The majority’s opinion is the binding opinion, in this case, since there is no set right or wrong in the mubah matters. The Khaleefah is therefore obliged to uphold the opinions of the Majlis al- Ummah, as long as the opinions are in the legal area of opinion for the Majlis al-Ummah. This is substantiated by the hadith of the Prophet (saw) : “If both of you (referring to ‘Umar and Abu Bakr) agree on a mashura, I would not go against it..”.

Watu wanaowakilisha Waislamu katika kutoa maoni yao kwa kiongozi wa Dola huitwa kwenye Majlis al-Ummah. Inaruhusiwa kwa wasio Waislamu kuwepo katika vikao fulani vya Majlis, kwa madhumuni ya kuwasilisha malalamiko kuhusu dhuluma inayotokana na mkono wa vyombo vinavyotawala, au kulalamikia matatizo yoyote wanayokumbana nayo kuhusu utekelezaji wa Uislamu juu yao.

The persons who represent the Muslims in voicing their opinions to the head of the State are called to the Majlis al-Ummah. It is allowed for the non-Muslims to be in certain sessions of the Majlis, for the purpose of presenting complaints about oppression by the hand of the ruling apparatus or to complain about any problems, which they encounter with regards to the implementation of Islam upon them.

Wanachama wa Majlis al-Ummah huchaguliwa na wananchi, na hakuna ubaguzi wa kijinsia katika nani anaweza kuwa mwanachama. Mradi mgombea awe raia, awe na akili timamu, na awe amefikia umri wa baleghe, basi anastahili, awe mwanamume au mwanamke.

The members of the Majlis al-Ummah are elected by the people, and there is no gender distinction in who can be a member. As long as the candidate carries the citizenship, is sane and is in his/her post-puberty years, then he or she qualifies.

Kuhusu muundo wa Majlis al-Ummah, kunaweza kuwepo kamati mbili kuu. Moja itakuwa ya kusimamia serikali kuu, na nyingine ya kusimamia serikali ya mkoa. Ndani ya kamati hizi kuu kuna kamati ndogo, ambazo hupewa kazi maalum kulingana na uwezo wa watu binafsi.

Pertaining to the structure of the Majlis al-Ummah, there can be two main committees. One to oversee the central government and one for the provincial government. Within these main committees exist subcommittees which are assigned specific tasks based on the ability of the individuals.

Asili ya Uislamu ni kulinda haki na maelewano ya kijamii, na kung'oa na kuondoa dhuluma ya kitaasisi pale inapojitokeza. Mamlaka ya kutunga sheria ni ya vyanzo vya sheria za Kiislamu, na lengo la vyanzo vya sheria za Kiislamu ni kulinda na kudumisha malengo bora ya kijamii, huku likikidhi mahitaji ya kila mtu binafsi katika jamii. Uislamu uliwapa watu mamlaka ya kutekeleza hukumu za Shari'ah ambazo kwazo malengo na madhumuni haya yatadumishwa. Kwa upande wao, watu huchagua mtu mmoja (Khalifah) awatawale kwa mujibu wa Uislamu, na wanaruhusiwa kutumia nguvu kumwondoa Khalifah ikiwa amekwenda wazi kinyume na Shari'ah.

The nature of Islam is to preserve justice and societal harmony, and to uproot and eliminate institutional oppression if and when it presents itself. Sovereignty belongs to Islam’s legislative sources, and the aim of Islam’s legislative sources is to secure and uphold the societal ideals, while satisfying the individual needs of each human being in the society. Islam granted the people the authority to implement the Shari‘ah rules whereby these aims and objectives would be maintained. The people in turn appoint one person (The Khaleefah) to rule them by Islam, and they are permitted to use force to remove the Khaleefah, in case he clearly went against the Shari‘ah.

Moja ya matawi ya mfumo wa mahakama inaitwa Mahkamat al Madhaalim (Mahakama ya Matendo ya Dhuluma). Jukumu au kazi kuu ya tawi hili la mahakama ni kutatua mizozo kati ya watu na Khaleefah. Amri au hukumu ya jaji katika tawi la mahakama haiwezi kusimamishwa, bali lazima itekelezwe, hata kama amri hiyo ni ya kumwondoa Khaleefah mwenyewe, au mtu yeyote ambaye amemteua kumwakilisha. Kushindwa kutekeleza amri au hukumu ya jaji katika Mahkamat al Madhaalim kunawapa watu ruhusa ya kumwondoa Khaleefah, hata kwa nguvu ikibidi.

One of the branches of the judicial system is called Mahkamat al Madhaalim (Court of Unjust Acts). The primary role or function of this judicial branch is to settle disputes between the people and the Khaleefah. The order or finding of a judge in the judicial branch cannot be stayed, but rather it must be implemented, even if the order was to remove the Khaleefah himself, or anyone that he has deputised. Failure to implement the order or finding of a judge in Mahkamat al Madhaalim, provides a license to the people to remove the Khaleefah, even by force if necessary.

Moja ya kazi za Majlis al-Ummah ni kuunda jukwaa ambalo watu wanaweza kutoa kuridhika kwao au kutoridhika kwao na malalamiko yao kwa serikali. Mahkamat al Madhaalim itapokea malalamiko kutoka kwa Majlis al-Ummah au mtu binafsi katika Dola anaweza kupeleka malalamiko yake moja kwa moja kwa Mahkamat al Madhaalim. Kila mtu yuko chini ya vyanzo vya sheria vya Uislamu, na kwa hivyo hakuna tabaka la wasomi katika jamii ya Kiislamu, na kila mtu aliye chini ya mamlaka ya Dola ya Kiislamu, awe Muislamu au asiye Muislamu, lazima haki zake zilindwe. Kwa hiyo, njia ya Uislamu ya kuhifadhi haki na maelewano ya kijamii, na kung'oa na kuondoa dhuluma, ni ya kweli na yenye vitendo.
