The Covenant of Imam Ali to Malik al-Ashtar

These instructions provide a comprehensive ethical framework for governance, emphasising the intertwined nature of religious principles and effective statecraft. The document stresses that a just ruler must be compassionate, self-controlled, and accountable to both God and his people. The selection of competent and trustworthy officials, the equitable treatment of all social classes, fiscal responsibility, the upholding of agreements, and the sanctity of life are presented as essential pillars of a righteous and stable government. The repeated warnings against oppression, injustice, and arrogance serve as powerful reminders of the potential pitfalls of power and the importance of ethical leadership. نزار طه حاج أحمد Nizar Taha Hajj Ahmad ▬▬▬▬▬ حساباتنا على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي حسابنا على اليوتيوب: https://www.youtube.com/@arabinglish حسابنا على التك توك : https://www.tiktok.com/@lisanarabi حسابنا على انستغرام : https://www.instagram.com/lisanarabi حسابنا على الفيس بوك: https://www.facebook.com/nlisanarabi حسابنا على تويتر : https://twitter.com/LisanArabi1 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
