qualifications, do not deserve them. This is what the disbelieving system
is based upon; it is not essential to be qualified in order to be assigned to
a particular position. In these issues, the vested interests of some people
become the driving forces in decision-making. However, in the Qur'an
Allah commands the contrary:
Allah commands you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are
due; And when you judge between people, to judge with justice. How
excellent is what Allah exhorts you to do! Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
(Surat al-Nisa': 58)
In a society where people do not live by the Qur'an and, accordingly,
duties and responsibilities are not allocated on the basis of skills and
qualifications, anyone who fills a vacant senior position primarily
practices nepotism and cronyism. For politicians and parties alike, vested
interests and political preferences always take precedence. Working for
the public good is mere rhetoric for use during electoral campaigns while
addressing the voters.
They may work for the interests of circles they imagine will support
their campaign, rather than meeting the needs of a poor village that has
no water or electricity supply or that has some other urgent
requirements. A lack of religious morality is responsible for this distorted
understanding and this immorality. People, who do not conduct
themselves responsibly and conscientiously, do not fear Allah. They do
not show mercy to people and act fairly for the same reason. Feigning
ignorance of the fact that they will give account for every deed they do in
this life, they commit all forms of mischief and immorality. Thus, the duty
of those who are committed to ending this misery and preparing a
promising future is to adhere to the Qur'an and communicate it to people.
It is the duty of all believers to inform people about the commands of
Allah with respect to moral values, summon them to live by them and
warn them against being wicked. Those ignoring this duty, or those
postponing it, should fear that, in the hereafter, they may fail to give
account for their insensitivity.
