ONE ADVICE CONCENTRATE ON PILLARS AND ARTICLES, IF TWO QUESTIONS CAME FROM THESE TWO THAN ATTEMPT THEM; SOLID MARKS IF YOU HIT THE JACKPOT ANSWER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE THAN GO FOR CALIPHATE QUESTION AND BE NEURAL IN ANSWERING.

can you make it a bit clear how can we be neutral while answering, what does this means?

Rightly guided caliphs and Muslim states:
During the period of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, generally speaking, the constitutional principles deduced from the Sunnah (Practice) of the Holy Prophet were followed. But the most significant constitutional principle added to Muslim polity through the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs was the multiplicity of methods of appointment of the Head of the State (Khalifah). The principle in essence was that the appointment must be made with the approval of the Muslim community, and the concept of hereditary succession was specifically excluded. The adoption of different modes of appointment indicated that any mode could be adopted to suit the prevailing conditions so long as it was democratic, efficient and based on wisdom. However it was not generally realized that owing to the expansion of Islamic territories it had become necessary to obtain the approval of the entire Muslim community settled in numerous big cities other than Medina (the Capital). If this modification had been made in the basic principle of appointment, the objection of Mu‘awiyah respecting Caliph ‘Ali’s election might have not been raised.

It is abundantly clear that the real emphasis of Islam is on the establishment of a Community of Faith being governed exclusively by the Shari‘ah. But the republican political order introduced as a political system in the state under the Sunnah (Practice) of the Rightly Guided Caliphs had no spiritual or religious significance. It had its importance only because it followed immediately after the death of the Holy Prophet and was evolved by his closest Companions. However, it collapsed owing to numerous reasons. Some of these are:

• First, the republican political system contained in itself the possibility of its transformation into a hereditary/dynastic monarchy.
• Second, the Khalifah was presumably appointed for life, but no legal methodology was evolved for his impeachment or deposition in case such a need arose.
• Third, as the ancient tribal rivalries disseminated suspicion and hatred, the differences of opinion among the various political groups took the form of militant confrontation and the struggle for power led to a civil war.
• Fourth, three out of the four Rightly Guided Caliphs namely ‘Umar, Uthman and ‘Ali were assassinated. Caliphs ‘Umar and ‘Ali were murdered in the mosque - an exposed place for any popularly elected Muslim Head of the State, making him extremely vulnerable, particularly when no arrangements had been made for his security. There was neither any garrison present in Medina nor guards had been deputed for the protection of the house and person of Caliph Uthman. Caliph ‘Ali was assassinated in accordance with a well-planned conspiracy of the Khawarij, the political group which adopted terrorist methods for accomplishing their objectives.

It is a generally accepted principle that great men make history. The four Rightly Guided Caliphs, who laid down the foundations of republican Islam, were certainly the greatest men Islam has produced after the Holy Prophet. But great men make history only if they have the support and co-operation of the people united behind them. The efforts of the Rightly Guided Caliphs for the permanent democratisation of Islam failed, not because of any lapse on their part, but owing to the failure of the Muslim peoples of those times to realise that democracy had its own discipline. If they had understood this political message, very ably projected by the Rightly Guided Caliphs, the "shura" could have developed into a representative institution and the process of "Ijtihad" might have been initiated in the form of law-making through "Ijma‘" (Consensus of the Community). But the Muslims divided themselves into numerous intolerant and fanatical religio-political groups and under the general policy of "if you are not with us you are against us" these groups actually fought against and ruthlessly slaughtered one another. Ameer ‘Ali rightly observes that with Caliph ‘Ali ended the republic of Islam, and he closes the chapter of his book with a quotation of Oelsner to the following effect: "Thus vanished the popular regime, which had for its basis a patriarchal simplicity, never again to appear among any Mussulman nation".

Zamin bro I am answering this question only for you with a request please don't post guess questions......

Answer: The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) in a hadith regarding tolerance and to show mercy says that that among all attributes of God, mercy is very special because according to a Hadith - i- Qudsi: “Truly My mercy overcomes My wrath” God, therefore, loves those who show tolerance and mercy to others, and He commands the Muslims to seek His mercy and extend mercy on others: “Let them forgive and pass over (the offence). Do you not desire that Allah should forgive you? (24:22). The Holy Prophet is called “mercy for all creatures” The Prophet encouraged his followers to keep alive the spirit of mercy and compassion so that they get entitled to God’s mercy in the Hereafter. None can be more ill- fated than the one who gets deprived of God’s mercy. “We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures.” (21:107).

The Muslims are required to follow the footsteps of the Prophet who never cursed his enemies and insulters in Makka, Taif and the battlefield. In the battle of Uhud, when some companion asked him to curse the Makkans, his reply was: “I have not been sent to curse” He kindly treated captives of Badr and forgave his fatal enemies on the conquest of Makk with tolerance. Muslims today may imitate such noble conduct and generosity of heart: “Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.” (2:185) they should not overburden their employees and should have the moral courage of tolerance and forgiving the insulters. Because they will receive huge reward from their Lord the Prophet said: “Be compassionate to those on earth and He, who is in the heavens, will be compassionate to you” (Sahi Bukhari)
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) in a hadith regarding evil said theat that his followers first must establish a true Islamic society based on the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah It further commands them to defend the society against all possible evils with whatever available resources they have. Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: “When the people see a wrong doer committing a wrong and do not seize his hand, it is most likely that Allah will inflict them with His punishment” (Tirmizi). This involves use of physical force or verbal rejection or at least condemning it from heart, though it is the lowest degree of faith of a believer. Believers should remember that struggle against evil is a constant phenomenon as the ultimate source of evils is Satan: “Verily Satan is an avowed enemy to man” (12:5)
Eradication of evil involves struggle of varying degrees depending on the available resources with the Muslim community and government. A Muslim must physically stop evil or attack it verbally, or at least have feelings of resentment for it. If sufficient resources are available, then the Muslim state may permit physical Jehad: “Believers……….. Strive hard in God’s way with their possessions and their own selves” (49:15) Otherwise, evil may be suppressed through speech or writings, and in case an individual believer is unable to utilize either resource, he is required to shun evil internally. The best way of doing this might be to seek God’s refuge: “Say I seek refuge with the Lord of day-break. From the evil of the things created” (al- Falaq)
