💢Imam Ali's letter to Malik al-Ashtar
#Part_13
Revenue Administration
✨Great care is to be exercised in revenue administration, to ensure the #prosperity of those who pay the #revenue to the state, for on their prosperity depends the prosperity of others, particularly of the masses. Indeed, the #state exists on its revenue.
✨You should regard the #proper upkeep of the #land in cultivation as of greater importance than the collection of revenue, for revenue cannot be derived except by making the land productive. He who demands revenue without helping the cultivator to improve his land, inflicts unmerited #hardship on the cultivator and ruins the state.
The rule of such a person does not last long. If the cultivators ask for a reduction in their land #tax for having suffered from epidemics, #drought, excessive #rainfall, soil infertility, #floods impairing the fertility of the land or the cause of #crop damage, then reduce the tax accordingly, so that their condition may improve.
✨Do not mind the loss of revenue on that account, for that will return to you one day manifold in the hour of greater prosperity of the land and enable you to improve the condition of your towns and to raise the #prestige of your state. You will be the object of universal praise. The #people will believe in your sense of #justice. The confidence which they will place in you in consequence will prove your strength, as they will be found ready to share your burdens.
✨ You may settle down on the land any number of people, but discontent will overtake them if the land is not improved. The cause of the cultivator’s ruin is the #rulers who are bent feverishly on accumulating #wealth at all costs, out of the fear that their rule might not last long. Such are the people who do not learn from examples or precedents.

Last Instructions
✨Do not make haste to do a thing before its time, nor put it off when the #right moment arrives. Do not insist on doing a wrong thing, nor show slackness in rectifying a #wrong thing. Perform everything in its proper time, and let everything occupy its #proper place.
✨When the people as a whole agree upon a thing, do not impose your own will on them and do not neglect to discharge the responsibility that rests on you in consequence. For, the #eyes of the #people will be on you and you are answerable for whatever you do to them. The slightest dereliction of #duty will bring its own retribution.
Keep your #anger under #control and keep your hands and tongue in check. Whenever you fall into anger, try to restrain yourself or else you will simply increase your worries.
✨It is imperative on you to study carefully the principles which have inspired just and #good #rulers who have gone before you. Give close thought to the example of our prophet, his traditions, and the commandments of the Holy #Quran and whatever you might have assimilated from my own way of dealing with things.
✨Endeavor to the #best of your ability to carry out the instructions which I have given you here and which you have solemnly undertaken to follow. By means of this order, I enjoin on you not to succumb to the prompting of your own #heart or to turn away from the discharge of duties entrusted to you.
I seek the #refuge of the might of the #Almighty and of His limitless sphere of blessings, and invite you to pray with me that He may give us together the grace willingly to surrender our will to His will, and to enable us to acquit ourselves before Him and His creation, so that #mankind might cherish our #memory and our #work survive.
✨I seek of God the culmination of his blessings and #pray that He may grant you and me His grace and the honor of martyrdom in His cause. Verily, we have to return to Him. I invoke His #blessings on the Prophet of God and his pure progeny.
The end🌹🌹🌹
