Ibara ya 24.

Article 24.

Khalifa anapewa mamlaka na Ummah ya kutekeleza sheria ya Mwenyezi Mungu.

The Khaleefah is deputised by the Ummah with authority for the enactment of the divine law.

Kifungu cha 25.

Article 25.

Khilafah ni mkataba wa uteuzi na kukubali. Hakuna mtu anayelazimika kukubali, na hakuna mtu anayelazimika kumteua mtu fulani kwa ajili yake.

Khilafah is a contract of nomination and acceptance. No-one is obliged to accept it and no-one is obliged to nominate a particular person for it.

Kifungu cha 26.

Article 26.

Kila Mwislamu mtu mzima, mwanamume na mwanamke, ambaye yuko na akili timamu, ana haki ya kushiriki katika uchaguzi wa Khalifa na kutoa ba'iah (kiapo cha utii) kwake. Wasiokuwa Waislamu hawana haki yoyote katika jambo hili.

Every mature male and female Muslim, who is sane, has the right to participate in the election of the Khaleefah and in giving him the pledge (ba’iah). Non-Muslims have no right in this regard.

Ibara ya 27.

Article 27.

Baada ya mkataba wa Khilafah kufungwa kwa mtu fulani kupitia bay'ah ya wale ambao bay'ah yao inafungisha kisheria, bay'ah ya watu waliobaki ni bay'ah ya utii na si ya mkataba. Kwa hiyo, wale ambao wanaweza kuasi au kuasi waziwazi wanalazimika kutoa bay'ah.

Once the contract of the Khilafah has been concluded on a person through the ba’iah of those by whom the ba’iah is legitimately concluded, the ba’iah of the remaining people is a ba’iah of obedience and not contract. Consequently, those who might disobey or rebel are obliged to give ba’iah.

Ibara ya 28.

Article 28.

Hakuna mtu anayeweza kuwa Khalifah bila kuteuliwa na Waislamu. Hakuna mtu anayeweza kushika mamlaka ya Khilafah isipokuwa imekabidhiwa kwake kwa njia halali, kama ilivyo kwa mkataba wowote katika Uislamu.

Nobody can become Khaleefah without being appointed by the Muslims. Nobody can hold the power of the Khilafah unless it is convened to him legitimately, as is the case with any contract in Islam.

Kifungu cha 29.

Article 29.

Nchi yoyote inayotaka kumpa Khalifah bay'ah ya mkataba, mamlaka yake (sultani) lazima iwe huru na inayojitegemea, inayotegemea Waislamu pekee na si nchi yoyote ya kikafiri. Usalama wa Waislamu katika nchi hiyo, wa ndani na wa nje, lazima udumishwe kwa usalama wa Uislamu na si kwa ukafiri. Kwa upande wa bay'ah ya utii, yenyewe inaweza kuchukuliwa kutoka nchi nyingine yoyote bila masharti hayo.

Any country which wishes to give the Khaleefah the ba’iah of contract, her sultan (authority) must be self-acting , that depends on muslims only and not on any kafir state. The security of the Muslims in that country, both internally and externally, must be maintained by the security of Islam and not kufr. As for the ba’iah of obedience only it can be taken from any other country without such conditions.

Ibara ya 30.

Article 30.

Mtu anayepewa bai'ah ya Khilafah anahitaji tu kutimiza masharti ya uhalali wa mkataba, hata kama hakutimiza masharti ya upendeleo, kwa sababu jambo la msingi ni masharti ya uhalali wa mkataba.

The individual who is given the ba’iah for Khilafah need only to fulfill the contracting conditions, even if he did not fulfill the preference conditions, because what is essential is the conditions of contracting.

Ibara ya 31.

Article 31.

Kuna masharti saba yanayohitajika kwa Khalifa ili Ukhalifa uidhinishwe kwake. Ni kuwa mwanaume, Muislamu, huru, mtu mzima aliyebaleghe, mwenye akili timamu, mwadilifu (mwaminifu), na mwenye uwezo (anayestahili wadhifa huo).

There are seven conditions needed in the Khaleefah so as Khilafah be contracted to him. They are to be a male, muslim, free, mature, sane, 'adl (trustworthy) and competent (capable for the post).

Ibara ya 32. Iwapo wadhifa wa Khalifa utakuwa wazi, kwa sababu ya kifo, kujiuzulu au kuondolewa madarakani, uteuzi wa Khalifa mpya lazima ufanyike ndani ya siku tatu, zikiwemo na usiku zake, tangu tarehe wadhifa huo ulipokuwa wazi.

Article 32. If the post of the Khaleefah becomes vacant, due to death, resignation or dismissal of the appointment of a new Khaleefah must take place within three days including their nights of the date when it became vacant.

Ibara ya 33.

Article 33.

Ukhalifa unapaswa kuteuliwa kwa njia ifuatayo:

The Khilafah is to be appointed in the following manner:

a. Wajumbe Waislamu wa Majlis al-Ummah huandaa orodha fupi ya wagombea wa wadhifa huo. Majina yao kisha hutangazwa, na Waislamu huombwa wamchague mtu mmoja miongoni mwao.

a. The Muslim members of the Majlis al-Ummah short-list the candidates for that post. Their names are subsequently announced and the Muslims are asked to elect one person from them.

b. Matokeo ya uchaguzi yanatangazwa, na mtu aliyepata kura nyingi zaidi atangazwe kwa Waislamu.

b. The result of the election is announced and the person who has attained the majority of the votes is to be announced to the Muslims.

c. Waislamu wanapaswa kuharakisha kumpa bai'ah yule aliyepata kura nyingi kuwa Khalifa wa Waislamu, kwa sharti la kufuata Qur'ani na Sunnah ya Rasuli wa Allah ﷺ.

c. The Muslims must hasten to give ba’iah to the one who has attained the majority of votes as a Khaleefah for muslims , on the condition of following the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Rasool Allah (saw) .

d. Baada ya kukamilika kwa bay'ah, jina la mtu aliyekuwa Khalifah pamoja na tamko kwamba ana sifa zote zinazohitajika na masharti ya makubaliano kwa ajili ya kushika wadhifa wa Khilafah hutangazwa kwa watu, ili habari za kuteuliwa kwake zifike kwa Ummah wote.

d. Once the ba’iah has been accomplished, the name of the man who has become the Khaleefah along with a statement that he is qualified with all the agreement conditions necessary for holding the office of Khilafah is announced to the people so that the news of his appointment reaches the entire Ummah.

Kifungu cha 34.

Article 34.

Ummah ndiyo yenye mamlaka ya kumteua Khalifa, lakini haina haki ya kumwondoa baada ya yeye kupata kwa njia halali bay'ah ya mkataba.

The Ummah is the authority to appoint the Khaleefah but she has no right to dismiss him after he has legitimately attained the ba’iah of contracting.

Kifungu cha 35.

Article 35.

Khalifa ndiye Dola. Yeye anamiliki mamlaka/kazi zote za dola; hivyo anamiliki mamlaka yafuatayo:

The Khaleefah is the State. He possesses all the powers/function of the state; so he possesses the following powers:

a. Khalifa huweka Ahkam Shari'ah, mara tu anapozichukua, katika sheria, na hivyo huwa kanuni ambazo lazima zitiiwe na zisivunjwe.

a. The Khaleefah puts the AHkam Shara’iah, once he adopted them, into law, and as such they become canons that must be obeyed and not violated.

b. Khalifa ndiye mwenye jukumu la sera za ndani na za nje za Dola. Yeye huongoza jeshi na ana haki ya kutangaza vita, kufanya amani, kusitisha mapigano, na kuingia mikataba.

b. The Khaleefah is responsible for both the internal and external policies of the State. He takes charge of the leadership of the army and has the right to declare war, conclude peace, armistice, and treaties.

c. Khalifa ana mamlaka ya kukubali na kukataa mabalozi wa kigeni, pamoja na kuwateua na kuwaondoa mabalozi wa Kiislamu.

c. The Khaleefah has the authority to accept and reject foreign ambassadors, and to appoint and dismiss Muslim ambassadors.

d. Khalifa huteua na kuwaondoa wasaidizi (mâawin) na magavana (wulah). Wasaidizi na magavana wanawajibika kwa Khalifa pamoja na kwa Majlis al-Ummah. e. Khalifa huteua na kumwondoa jaji mkuu, wakurugenzi wa idara, wakuu wa majeshi ya kijeshi na majenerali; wote hao wanawajibika kwa Khalifa na si kwa Majlis al-Ummah.

d. The Khaleefah appoints and dismisses the assistants (mâawin) and the governors (wulah). The assistants and governors are responsible to the Khaleefah as well as to Majlis al-Ummah. e. The Khaleefah appoints and dismisses the chief judge, the directors of departments, the heads of the armed forces and the generals; all of whom are responsible to the Khaleefah and not to the Majlis al-Ummah.

f. Khalifa hupitisha Ahkam Shar'iyyah ambazo kwazo bajeti ya Dola hupangwa. Khalifa huamua vifungu vyake na fedha zinazohitajika kwa kila uwanja, iwe zinahusiana na mapato au matumizi.

f. The Khaleefah adopts the AHkam Shara’iah by which the State's budget is set. The Khaleefah decides its sections and the funds required for every field, whether they are related to revenue or expenditure.

Kifungu cha 36.

Article 36.

Khalifa amezuiliwa katika yale anayoyapitisha na Ahkam Shara'iah. Amekatazwa kupitisha hukumu yoyote isiyotokana kwa usahihi na matini za kimungu. Amezuiliwa kwenye hukumu alizozipitisha na kwenye mbinu ya kuchambua (istinbaat) aliyoichagua. Kwa hiyo, amezuiwa kupitisha hukumu iliyotolewa kwa mbinu inayopingana na mbinu aliyoichagua, na hapaswi kutekeleza amri yoyote inayopingana na hukumu alizozipitisha.

The Khaleefah is restricted in what he adopts by the AHkam Shara’iah. He is forbidden to adopt any rule that is not soundly deduced from the divine texts. He is restricted to the rules he has adopted and to the method for deduction that he has chosen. Accordingly, he is prevented from adopting a rule deduced by a method that contradicts the method he has adopted, and he must not enact any command that contradicts the rules he has adopted.

Kifungu cha 37.

Article 37.

Khalifa ana haki kamili ya kusimamia mambo ya raia kwa mujibu wa ijtihadi yake, hivyo ana haki ya kuchukua katika mambo ya mubah chochote anachotaka ili kuendesha mambo ya Dola na kuwatunzia raia maslahi yao. Hata hivyo, hairuhusiwi kwake kupingana na hukmu ya shari'a kwa kisingizio cha maslahi. Kwa mfano, hawezi kuizuia familia kuwa na zaidi ya mtoto mmoja kwa kisingizio cha uhaba wa chakula. Wala hawezi kupanga bei kwa kisingizio cha kuzuia unyonyaji; wala kumteua kafiri au mwanamke kuwa wali kwa kisingizio cha kujali mambo au maslahi, wala chochote kinachopingana na kanuni za shari'a. Khalifa hapaswi kukataza jambo lolote lililo halali wala kuruhusu jambo lolote lililo haramu.

The Khaleefah has the absolute right to conduct the citizens affairs according to his ijtihad, so he has the right to adopt of the mubah matters anything he wants to run the State affairs and to look after the affairs of the citizens. However, he is not allowed to disagree with a Hukm shara'i under the name of interest. For example; he cannot prevent a family from having more than one child under the pretext of the shortage in food-stuffs. Nor can he fix prices on the pretext of preventing exploitation; or appoint a kafir or a woman as a wali on the pretext of caring for affairs or the interest, nor anything that disagrees with shar’a rules. The Khaleefah must not forbid any halal thing or allow any haram thing.

Kifungu cha 38.

Article 38.

Hakuna kikomo cha muda wa Khalifah kushika madaraka. Mradi anafuata shari'a, anatekeleza sheria zake na anaweza kusimamia mambo ya Dola, anaendelea kuwa Khalifah isipokuwa hali yake ibadilike kwa namna itakayomtoa katika wadhifa wa Ukhalifah. Atatolewa madarakani mara moja pindi hali kama hiyo itakapotokea.

There is no limitation on the Khaleefah's period in office. So as long as he abides by the shar’a, implements its rules and is able to manage the State's affairs, he continues as a Khaleefah unless his situation changes in such a way as to discharge him from the office of Khilafah. He is to be dismissed immediately, once such situation occured.

Ibara ya 39.

Article 39.

Kuna mambo matatu ambayo kwayo hali ya Khalifa hubadilika, na kwayo yeye huondolewa katika wadhifa wa Ukhalifa. Nayo ni:

There are three matters by which the situation of the Khaleefah changes, and by such he is discharged from the office of Khilafah. They are:

a. Iwapo moja ya masharti yanayohitajika katika mkataba wa Khilafah litabatilika, kama vile kuritadi kutoka Uislamu, wazimu, ufasiki wa wazi (fisq) na mengineyo yanayofanana na hayo, hiyo ni kwa sababu hayo ni masharti ya kuanzishwa kwa Khilafah na kuendelea kwake.

a. If one of the qualifying conditions of the Khilafah contract becomes void, such as apostatising from Islam, insanity or manifest sinfulness (fisq) and the like. This is because these are conditions for contracting the Khilafah and for its continuity.

b. Kutoweza kwake kutekeleza majukumu ya wadhifa wa Khilafah, kwa sababu yoyote ile.

b. His inability to undertake the responsibilities of the Khilafah post, for any reason.

c. Katika tukio la kudhibitiwa, ambapo Khalifa anakuwa hawezi kuendesha mambo ya Waislamu kwa maoni yake mwenyewe kulingana na shari'a. Iwapo Khalifa atadhibitiwa na nguvu yoyote kwa kiwango kwamba hawezi kusimamia mambo ya raia kwa maoni yake peke yake kulingana na kanuni za shari'a, anachukuliwa kuwa hana uwezo halali wa kutekeleza majukumu ya dola, na hivyo anakoma kuwa Khalifa. Hali hii inaweza kutokea katika mazingira mawili. Nayo ni: Kwanza. Pale mmoja au zaidi miongoni mwa wasaidizi wa Khalifa wanaposhika udhibiti wa usimamizi wa mambo. Ikiwa kuna uwezekano kwamba Khalifa anaweza kujikomboa kutoka katika utawala wao, anapewa onyo kwa muda maalum, baada ya hapo, ikiwa atashindwa kujikomboa kutoka katika utawala wao, lazima aondolewe. Ikiwa inaonekana kwamba hakuna uwezekano wa Khalifa kujikomboa kutoka katika utawala wao, anapaswa kuondolewa mara moja.

c. In the event of sub-dual, whereby the Khaleefah is rendered unable to conduct the affairs of the Muslims by his own opinion according to the shar’a. If the Khaleefah is subdued by any force to an extent that he is unable to manage the citizens affairs by his own opinion alone according to the rules of shar’a, he is considered to be legitimately incapable of undertaking the functions of the state, and thus he ceases to be a Khaleefah. This situation may arise under two circumstances. They are: First. When one, or more, of the Khaleefah's entourage exerts control over the management of affairs. If there is a chance that the Khaleefah could rid himself of their dominance he is cautioned for a specified period of time, after which, if he fails to rid himself of their dominance, he must be dismissed. If it appears that there is no chance of the Khaleefah freeing himself from their dominance, he is to be dismissed immediately.

Pili. Iwapo Khalifa atatekwa mateka na adui mwenye nguvu, iwe amekamatwa kweli au yuko chini ya ushawishi wake, hali hiyo itachunguzwa. Ikiwa kuna nafasi ya kumkomboa Khalifa, atapewa muda hadi itakapodhihirika kwamba hakuna matumaini ya kumkomboa, na baada ya hapo ataondolewa madarakani. Ikiwa tangu mwanzo itadhihirika kwamba hakuna matumaini ya kumkomboa, ataondolewa madarakani mara moja.

Second. Should the Khaleefah be captured by a subduing enemy, whether he is actually captured or under its influence. In this case the situation is to be examined; if there is a chance to rescue the Khaleefah, he is given a period of time until it appears that there is no hope to rescue him, after which he is dismissed. Should it appear from the outset that there is no hope of rescuing him, he is to be dismissed immediately.

Ibara ya 40.

Article 40.

Jukumu la kuamua kama hali ya Khalifah imebadilika kwa namna inayostahili kumwondoa madarakani ni haki ya Mahakama ya Madhalimu (mahkumat ul-maDHalim). Yenyewe peke yake ina mamlaka ya kumwonya au kumwondoa Khalifah madarakani.

The responsibility of deciding whether or not the Khaleefah's situation has altered in such a way as to warrant his dismissal is the prerogative of the Court for the Acts of Injustice (mahkumat ul-maDHalim). It, alone, has the authority to admonish or dismiss the Khaleefah.
