GUARDIANSHIP UNDER SAYYIDINA ALIS رضی اللہ عنہ TIMES

Responsibility and care of people holds a significant place in the teachings of Islam. After the Prophet ﷺ, his noble khulafa or vicegerents established a worthy system of application of these teachings. The present article analyzes in detail the application of these very rules in the time of the fourth of these righteous Caliphs, Sayyidina Ali رضی اللہ عنہ. During the time of this fourth Caliph of Islam, Muslims and non-Muslims were given their right in a unique fashion, where the ruler prioritized the needs of his people over his own. This style of rule and the detailed application thereof, is very relevant even in the present-day world.
