13.8 The right of expression and voicing an opinion without impediment
Every member of the Council of the Ummah has the right to speak and voice an opinion as he wishes without any pressure as long as it is within the limits allowed by Shara. The member would be a representative of the Muslims in terms of voicing opinions and in accounting. His job would be to study closely the activities of the Khalifah or any ruler in the State or any civil servant in any of the State’s departments and offices and hold all them accountable, giving them advice, voicing opinions, presenting suggestions, entering with them into debates, and with objecting to all of the wrong actions performed by the State. He would do all this on behalf of the Muslims who are obliged to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to hold the rulers accountable, .
giving them advice and suggestions, because this is their duty upon the Muslims. Allah (S.W.T) says: .
"You are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong". .. [3:110].
And He (S.W.T) says: .
"They are those who, if we establish them in the land, establish regular prayers and give zakat, enjoin the right and forbid the wrong". .. [22:41].
Allah (S.W.T) also says: .
"And let there arise from amongst you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoins what is right and forbidding what is wrong". .. [3:104].
