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.
Questioning the Taliban's claim regarding the killing of Ziauddin, a former acting leader of #ISKP, @TajudenSoroush wrote that according to ex-government officials, he was actually killed on 15 August 2021, while escaping from a prison in Kabul City.
I am going to explain more...
The TB claimed killing of ZIAUDDIN, but the name of the former interim leader of #ISKP who was killed during a prison break in Kabul was ZIAULHAQ alias Abu Umar Khorasani.
The story of his killing was published in the 6th issue of the ISKP's Voice of Khorasan magazine, in Pashto.
Now the question is:
So, who was Mawlawi Ziauddin, who was allegedly killed by the Taliban in Balkh province?
Till now, there is no evidence (in open sources) to show that Ziauddin was the former interim leader or a key commander of the ISKP in AFG.
It is worth mentioning that...
#Taliban's intelligence provided details about the identities of the #ISKP members who were killed during raids on 17 March 2023 in 3 locations of #Mazar-e Sharif City: 1. Mawlawi Ziauddin, ex-acting-governor of Khorasan Province (acting-head of the ISKP for Afghanistan), who ...
... was currently in charge of the ISKP courts& justice system. Ziauddin also known as Mawlawi Mohammad, was the number 02 leader of Khorasan Province. 2. Abu Umar Afridi, a leadership council member of the ISKP group. 3. Ustad Salman Tajikistani, an expert of IED making&military
...trainings.
Also, some time ago, operations were conducted in #Faryab province, as a result of which all the members of the Khawarij group, who were involved in the attack on the governor of Balkh province& several other attacks in Balkh, Faryab& Kabul province, were arrested.
Beside the usual propaganda against the Taliban& Arab regimes, the latest issue of the #ISKP's Voice of Khorasan magazine in Arabic, include a long article about the #UN & other #NGOs operating in #AFG.
Pro-government PAK religious scholars also condemned by ISKP in the magazine.
The article named "the most famous" non governmental organizations currently operating in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime as "CARE International, UNICEF, ICRC, NRC, AKDN, Save the Children..." adding that a big compound of the UN located n the Paktiakot area of Kabul City...
...is "the evidence of the maliciousness and heresy of the Taliban and the cooperation of this misguided group with the infidels."
The last paragraph of the article is calling on Afghans to stay away from NGOs& encourage the youths to join the ISKP and fight against the Taliban.
In an unverified letter attributed to the Craftsmen& Shopkeepers Chamber of #Parwan, the #women's hair salons in the province are directed to consider some Islamic regulations during their work.
The letter is from CSC but some of its contents seem to be from the Vice& Virtue Dep.
"1. Hairdressers should do their job according to the principles of Islam. 2. They should #pray inside the shop after closing the door of the shop during prayer times. 3. Inside the salons, ethical& Islamic issues including observing #Hijab, should be considered. 4. Customers ...
...should make ablution before applying make-up. 5. As far as possible, do not use cosmetics that make ablution invalid. 6. It is strictly forbidden to sell the cut hair of customers. 9. Inside the salons, there should be a suitable place for customers to make ablution.

A #Pakistani_delegation lead by the country's Defense Minister& include ISI chief, arrived in #Kabul and met with the Taliban's Deputy PM, Mullah Baradar.
"The two sides discussed the development of bilateral relations, trade, regional connectivity&economic cooperation," TB said.
