Mahkamat ul-Mazalim pekee ndiyo huamua kama hali ya Khalifa imebadilika kwa namna iliyomtoa katika wadhifa wa Ukhalifa au la. Ndiyo chombo pekee chenye mamlaka ya lazima ya kumwondoa au kumwonya.

‘Mahkamat ul-Mazalim’ alone decides whether the situation of the Khaleefah had changed in a way which had taken him out of the post of Khilafah or not. It is the only body with mandatory power to remove or caution him.

Jambo lolote ambalo linamlazimu Khalifa aondolewe, au ambalo kuondolewa kwake kunakuwa lazima, linajulikana kama Mazlema (tendo la dhuluma), nalo linapaswa kuondolewa. Hata hivyo, jambo hilo linapaswa kuchunguzwa na ushahidi kutolewa, kwa kuwa Mazlema lazima lithibitishwe mbele ya hakimu.

Any matter for which the Khaleefah has to be removed or his removal becomes necessary is known as a Mazlema (an act of injustice) and it should be removed. The matter, however, should be investigated and evidence provided as the Mazlema must be proved before a judge.

Mahkamat ul-Mazalim (Mahakama ya Madhulumu) ni chombo kinachotawala malalamiko yoyote yanayopokelewa (Mazalim). Hakimu wake ndiye mwenye mamlaka ya kuthibitisha kutokea kwake na kuamua juu yake. Hata hivyo, ikiwa hali kama hiyo ingetokea na kwa sababu hiyo Khaleefah akajiuzulu, hili lingekuwa mwisho wa jambo hilo. Lakini ikiwa Waislamu wangeona kwamba yeye aondolewe, na Khaleefah akapingana nao, jambo hilo lingepelekwa kwenye mahakama ili lipatiwe suluhu, kwa kuwa Allah (SWT) anasema:

The court of unjust acts (Mahkamat ul-Mazalim) is the body that rules over any complaints (Mazalim) received. Its judge is the person entitled to prove its occurrence and to decide upon it. However, if such a situation did arise and as a result the Khaleefah stepped down, this would be the end of the matter. If, however, the Muslims thought that He should be removed and the Khaleefah disputed with them, the matter would be referred to the judiciary to be settled, for Allah (swt) says:

"Mkiwa na mzozo wowote kuhusu jambo lolote, lirudisheni kwa Allah na Mtume Wake ﷺ." [TMQ An-Nisa: 59]

“If you dispute together about any matter, refer it to Allah and His Messenger.” [TMQ An-Nisa: 59]

Kwa maneno mengine, ikiwa Ummah ingegombana na wenye mamlaka, mgogoro huo ungekuwa kati ya mtawala na Ummah. Kurejesha mgogoro kwa Allah na Mtume, maana yake ni kuupeleka kwenye mahakama, yaani mahakama ya vitendo vya dhulma.

In other words, if the Ummah disputed with those in authority, this dispute would be between the ruler and the Ummah. Referring the dispute to Allah and the Messenger, means referring it to the judiciary, that is to the court of unjust acts.
