Article 97
The policy of the administration of services is based on simplicity of the system, speed in processing tasks and competence of the administrators.
This is taken from the nature of processing the services, for the person who requires a service needs to have it quickly and efficiently processed. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said.
. إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَإِذَا قَ تَ لْ تُمْ فَأَحْسِ نُوا الْقِتْ لَةَ، وَإِذَا « »... ذَبَحْ تُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ .
“Verily Allah has prescribed Ihsan (proficiency, perfection) in all things. So if you kill then kill well; and if you slaughter, then slaughter well...” (narrated by Muslim from Shaddad b. Aws). Therefore, the perfection in executing actions is ordered by the Shari’ah. To achieve this, the administration should observe three qualities. Firstly: the simplicity of the system that would lead to the ease of processing, whereas complication would lead to hardship. Secondly: the speed in processing the transactions that would spare people of unnecessary delay. Thirdly: the ability and competence of the employees. This is required to perfect the performance and result of the task.
The reported evidences regarding these three include:
Simplicity.
- The agreed upon narration from Abu Musa with the wording from Al-Bukhari: from Sa‘id b. Abi Burdah from his father from his grandfather: When the Messenger (pbuh) sent Mu’ath Bin Jabal he said:
. »... يَسِّرَا وَلا تُ عَ سِّرَا، وَبَشِّرَا وَلا تُ نَ فِّرَا، وَتَطَاوَعَا « . - “Show leniency (to the people); do not be hard upon them; give glad tidings (of divine favors) to them; and don’t create aversion; work in collaboration. - The agreed upon narration from Anas, he said:
. » يَسِّرُوا وَلا تُ عَسِّرُوا، وَسَكِّنُوا وَلا تُ نَ فِّرُوا « .
- The Prophet (phuh) said: Show leniency (to the people) and do not be hard upon them; calm people and do not arouse their aversion.” - The narration of Amr b. Murra found with Al-Hakim who authenticated it and Al-Dhahabi confirmed it, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say. . مَنْ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ دُونَ ذَوِي الْحَاجَةِ وَالخِلَّةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ، أَغْلَقَ اللَّهُ بَابَ السَّمَاءِ « » دُونَ خِلَّتِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ وَفَ قْرِهِ وَمَسْكَنَتِهِ .
