Ummat Kengashi a'zoligining muddati cheklangan. Buning sababi shuki, Abu Bakr Rasululloh ﷺ maslahat so'raydigan kishilar bilan maslahatlashishga majbur emas edi. ʼUmar ibn al-Xattob ham o'zining hukmronligining so'nggi yillarida Abu Bakr maslahat so'raydigan kishilar bilan maslahatlashishga majbur emas edi. ʼUmar o'z hukmronligining dastlabki yillarida maslahat so'ragan kishilardan boshqa odamlardan fikr so'radi. Bu shuni ko'rsatadiki, Ummat Kengashi a'zoligi ma'lum bir muddatga bo'lishi kerak. Biz bu yerda muddatni besh yil deb qabul qilamiz.

The term of membership to the Council of the Ummah is limited. This is because Abu Bakr was not restricted to consult those to whom the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to refer. ’’Umar Ibnul Khattab was also not under obligation to consult those whom Abu Bakr used to consult in the latter years of his rule. ‘Umar sought the opinions of people other than those he had consulted in the first years of his ruling. This indicates that the membership to the Council of the Ummah has to be for a specific period. We adopt here the period to be five years.
