💢Imam Ali's #letter to Malik al-Ashtar
#part_12
Subordinate #Judiciary
✨Beware! The utmost carefulness is to be exercised in its selection: for it is this #high #office which adventurous self-seekers aspire to secure and exploit in their selfish interests. After the selection of your chief judge, give #careful consideration to the selection of other #officers .
✨Confirm them in their appointments after approved apprenticeship and probation. Never select #men for #responsible posts either out of any regard for personal connections or under any influence, for that might lead to #injustice and corruption.
Of these, select for #higher posts, men of experience, men firm in #faith and belonging to #good #families. Such men will not fall an #easy prey to temptations and will discharge their duties with an eye on the abiding good of others. Increase their salaries to give them a contented #life .
A contented living is a help to self-purification. They will not feel the urge to tax the earnings of their subordinates for their own upkeep.
✨They will then have no excuse either to go against your instructions or misappropriate state funds.
Keep a watch over them without their #knowledge .
✨Perchance they may develop #true #honesty and true concern for the public #welfare . But whenever any of them is accused of dishonesty and the #guilt is confirmed by the report of your #secret service, then regard this as a sufficient to convict him. Let the punishment be corporal and let that be dealt in the #public at an appointed place of degradation.

Clerical Establishment
✨Keep an eye on your establishment and on your scribes, select the #best among them for your confidential correspondence such among these, as possess #high character and deserve your full #confidence, men who may not exploit their privileged position to go against you, who may not grow neglectful of their duties, who in the drafting of treaties may not succumb to external #temptation and harm your #interests, or fail to render you proper assistance and to save you from trouble, who in carrying out their duties can realize their serious responsibilities, for he who does not realize his own responsibilities can hardly appraise the responsibilities of others.
✨Do not select #men for such work merely on the strength of your first impressions of your affection or good #faith , for as a matter of fact, the pretensions of a good many who are really devoid of #honesty and #good breeding, may cheat even the intelligence of rulers. Selection should be made after due probation, which should be the test of righteousness.
✨In making direct appointments from people, see to it that those selected possess influence with the #people and who #enjoy the reputation of being honest, for such selection is agreeable to #God and the ruler. For every department of administration, let there be a head, whom no trying task might cause worry and no pressure of #work annoy.
✨Remember, every weakness of any one among your establishment and scribes, which you may overlook, will be written down against you in your scroll of deeds.

#Part_15
Trade and Industry
✨Treat #businessmen and artisans well, and #advise others to do likewise. Some of them live in towns, while some move from place to place with their wares and tools earning their living by manual labor. Trade and #industry are the real sources of #profit to the #state and the suppliers of #consumer goods.
✨While the general #public is not inclined to bear the strain, those engaged in these professions take the trouble to collect commodities from far and near, from land and across the sea, from mountains and forests and naturally derive benefits.
✨It is this class of peace loving people from whom no disturbance need be feared. They love peace and order, indeed they are incapable of creating disorder. Visit every part of the country and establish personal contact with this #class , and inquire into their condition.
✨But bear in mind that a #good many of them are intensely #greedy and are inured to #bad dealings. They hoard grain and try to sell it at a #high #price and this is most harmful to the public. It is a blot on the name of the ruler not to fight this evil. Prevent them from hoarding, for the prophet of #God had prohibited it.
✨See to it, that trade is carried on with the utmost #ease, that the scales are evenly held and that prices are so fixed that neither the seller nor the #buyer is put to a loss. If in spite of your warning, anyone should go against your commands and commit the #crime of hoarding, then deal him appropriately with a severe punishment.

Open Conferences
✨Meet the oppressed and the lowly periodically in an open #conference and conscious of the divine presence there, have a heart-to-heart talk with them, and let none from your armed guard or civil officers or members of the #Police or the Intelligence Department be by your side, so that the representatives of the #poor might #state their grievances fearlessly and without reserve.
✨For I have heard the prophet of God say that no nation or society, in which the #strong do not discharge their $duty to the #weak , will occupy a #high position.
✨Bear with composure any strong language which they may use, and do not get annoyed if they cannot state their case lucidly. Even so, #God will open for you his door of blessings and rewards. Whatever you can give to them, give it ungrudgingly and whatever you cannot afford to give, make that clear to them in utmost #sincerity .
✨There are certain things which call for prompt action. One of them is correspondence regarding the redress of grievances, which your heedless #staff have been unable to tackle. See to it that #petitions or applications that are submitted for your consideration, are brought to your #notice without any delay, however much your #officers might try to intercede them. Dispose of the day’s #work that very day, for the coming #day will bring with it its own tasks.

Whatever you can give to them, give it ungrudgingly and whatever you cannot afford to give, make that clear to them in utmost #sincerity .
✨There are certain things which call for prompt action. One of them is correspondence regarding the redress of grievances, which your heedless #staff have been unable to tackle. See to it that #petitions or applications that are submitted for your consideration, are brought to your #notice without any delay, however much your #officers might try to intercede them. Dispose of the day’s #work that very day, for the coming #day will bring with it its own tasks.

Open Conferences
✨Meet the oppressed and the lowly periodically in an open #conference and conscious of the divine presence there, have a heart-to-heart talk with them, and let none from your armed guard or civil officers or members of the #Police or the Intelligence Department be by your side, so that the representatives of the #poor might #state their grievances fearlessly and without reserve.
✨For I have heard the prophet of God say that no nation or society, in which the #strong do not discharge their $duty to the #weak , will occupy a #high position.
✨Bear with composure any strong language which they may use, and do not get annoyed if they cannot state their case lucidly. Even so, #God will open for you his door of blessings and rewards. Whatever you can give to them, give it ungrudgingly and whatever you cannot afford to give, make that clear to them in utmost #sincerity .
