The first topic in the #Taliban Cheif Justice, Abdul Hakim Haqqani's book on the Islamic Emirate& its governance, is the #type_of_government. According to him, there are two main types of governments in the world:
1. A state& government whose Motto is collection of revenue/taxes.
2. A state& government whose Motto is Guidance (Propagation of Virtue& Prevention of Vice).
According to the author of the book, there is no need to give examples of Tax Govts, as they nowadays make majority or almost all of the world govts.
But governments of guidance are #rare.
According to Sheikh Abdul Hakim Haqqani, the 3 #pillars of the #government_of_guidance are as following:
1. Independent #Judiciary
2. Islamic #Army
3. #Sharia_Law
He also mentioned 7 reasons for rejection of man-made laws, which are based on what the God or his Messenger said.
Haqqani listed 6 essential elements of government of guidance or an examplary #Islamic_Government as follow:
1. Head of State
2. Govt. apparatus
3. Civil laws (based on Sharia law)
4. Independent Judiciary
5. Powerful Army
6. A group for Propagation of Virtue& Prevention of Vice
Sheikh Haqqani also mentioned the 10 Sources of the Islamic legislation incl. the four widely accepted ones:
1. The Holy Quran
2. The Sunnah (The traditions or known practices of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH)
3. Ijma' (Consensus)
4. Qiyas (Analogy)
(6 other sources need explanation)
According to the Taliban's Cheif Justice, the Afghan government will enact ONLY Sunni #Hanafi school (maddhab) of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh).
He believes that allowing practice of other schools, e.g. Shia school, will weaken the government, giving example of the Ottoman Empire.
Haqqani in his book clarified that the Islamic Govt. will also respect the traditions&customs of Afghans, if they were not contradicting the Sharia Law.
He also said that the Islamic Govt. will be independent&will not allow anyone/any country to interfere in its internal affairs.
