Kukusanya Kodi
Collecting Taxes
Mwenyezi Mungu anasema, {Lawama ni juu ya wale tu wanaowadhulumu watu kwa uovu na kuvuka mipaka kwa kiburi duniani, wakikataa haki na uadilifu; kwa hao kutakuwa na adhabu chungu.} (Ash-Shura: 42)
Allah says, {The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a chastisement grievous.} (Ash-Shura: 42)
Mtoza ushuru ni miongoni mwa wafuasi wa karibu zaidi wa madhalimu. Bali huenda akawa miongoni mwa madhalimu wenyewe.
The tax collector is one of the closest supporters of the oppressors. Rather he may be of the oppressors.
Anachukua kile ambacho si halali kwake na kukitoa kwa wale wasiostahili. Kwa hiyo, Mtume ﷺ alitangaza: "Mtoza ushuru hataingia Peponi."2
He takes what is not lawful to him and gives it to those who do not deserve it. Hence, the Prophet declared, "The tax collector will not tread Paradise.” 2
