Administration and Judiciary
ADMINISTRATION AND JUDICIARY:
Two departments are of prime importance for the proper running of Government:
- Administration,
- Judiciary
If these two pillars are strong, working, and sincere, the social setup of the country can never go astray. In this divine Government, the people themselves will be so lawful that no penal code will be necessary to implement. If the crime is not there, the penal laws automatically become superfluous. Anyhow the formulation of an administrative structure is a must to have a just society. It is imperative to honor some pious and God-fearing persons of society by appointing them as officers and administrators. This facilitates keeping the society active and organized because the organs of the state (officers) guide each member of it to their respective duties and where, when, and how to perform the same.
The appointment of administrators will be direly needed in the beginning for the establishment of the Government because the remains of tyrants and their cruelties will be there. A well-organized system is obligatory till the society is truly purged. The system told by the revealed books is as below:
The Great Divine Leader will be the supreme authority in the whole of the globe. He will be the center of all powers because he will be the sole representative and Deputy of God Almighty. He will appoint his Administrators and Charge de’s affairs in various countries. We are unable to tell as to what will be the geographical shape of the world and the marking of boundaries of various countries at that time. Anyhow, this much is certain that the world will be divided into many units for the facility of administration. Such units or states will be controlled by the center and their rule will be assigned to some or all the Prophets as told by Prophet Daniel:
“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people nations, and languages, should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.”
Daniel Chapter 7(13-14)
In a long Tradition, it has been told about the Prophet Ismail (The keeper of promise) That he will be given a state to govern. 313 companions of the Great Divine Leader which include Moses, Usha son of Noon, some companions of Prophet of Islam, Sons of Aqeel (A.S), and a few personalities of Bani Hashim (A.S), each of them will be given sway over certain portion of the earth. The Tradition relating to Return (1), indicates that right from the Prophet of Islam to Imam Hussein A.S. (Father of Great Divine Leader) will rule the world.
Some other Traditions relate that some personalities will be individually given sway over

whole of the earth for a certain term. Some will have a reign of 40,000 years. The Prophets Noah,
Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and David will also be given royal scepter. What I can understand is that they will be given Government of specific portions of the earth.
They will have their independent governments, free to appoint their provincial governors. The Prophet Moses, during his reign, had 12 governors under him and Christ also had a similar number of his deputies.
When Shamoon Patras asked Christ, “We, who have surrendered everything for you, what will we receive in return?” The answer was:
“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
St. Matthew Chapter 19(28)
Prophet Jeremiah repeats the same in his own way:-
“And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries wither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.”
Jeremiah Chapter 23(3-4)
This shows that the administration of Justice will go even to towns. The system will be run by righteous persons and the rule of law will be supreme and the law will be the Divine Law. It is natural to think about how the officers and Administrators will implement the law. Where will they receive orders? Will the law be in the shape of a code or something else?
The answer to these questions has been already provided in the following Tradition:
“When there will be the rule of Great Divine Leader, he will appoint his deputies in various parts of the world and will direct each one of them to get the guidance from his palm. He will say ‘When there is a matter beyond the power of your reason and brain, look at your palm and you find the solution written therein. Then do as directed.”
This is the first source. The other source has been mentioned in the book Roza-tul-Kafi in the following words:
“When the great Divine Leader will get established, God Almighty will bestow his subjects with the most ideal sight and hearing. So much so that they will be able to see and talk to the great leader even from a distance of many thousand miles.”
This will be the privilege of an ordinary subject, what to speak of the favorites, who have been declared by God Almighty as his arms:
Thus every house will become the manifestation of God Almighty:
“And the lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for upon all the glory shall be a defense. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain”
Isaiah Chapter 4(5-6)
The outstanding quality of this system will be that it will be transparent in its entirety. Not a single link in the whole chain will be obscure. This quality of the system will transform this world into a paradise.
