A Guideline for Governance based on Islamic Faith
i change the title…
dear friend/reader,
mostly i thought the idea of existence or i should call it “way we choose” basically based on experience and capability to explore potential on our self, but further more i found there is peoples that have similarity point of view, why? in the next level of self developing, thought represented on how we reacted on our environment, simple said how we read the nature, or in islamic philosophy called, read “ayat-ayat kauliyah/kalamiyah” (something that already written) and “ayat-ayat kauniyah” (something that already decided in nature by God).
back to our title, something i found in mr. ahmadinejads memo…

One’s perspective regarding government and governance determines the way one should cooperate with the people. If one recognizes government as a privilege and prey of the governors, then the period of governance can be counted as an opportunity to fulfill the expectations of certain individuals and groups or the ostentation and hedonism of the governors.
But if in our view, “government” would be a responsibility before God for establishing justice and a duty to ensure the rights of common people, serving the ?servants of God and helping the oppressed- then the most important issue will be the people’s concerns. If this is the case, governors would not view themselves as better than ?other people and they wouldn’t put themselves in any other position except serving the people.
Based upon this view point, the ultimate goal is to achieve God’s approval and satisfaction in the way of serving His servants, implementing justice and expanding spirituality. This goal cannot be achieved unless fully devoting yourself to Almighty God, and thus even sacrificing your life and reputation for its achievement becomes sweet. ?With this type of reasoning, the happiness of an orphan who has achieved his right is preferable to the satisfaction of oppressive and voracious politicians. And the appreciation of an oppressed woman- who is emancipated from the oppression- is much more valuable than hundreds of official and international medals and awards.
