Usman ibn Affan cytaty

Usman ibn Affan, arab. ‏عثمان بن عفان‎ – trzeci „kalif prawowierny”, panujący w latach 644 do 656.

Usman był członkiem potężnego rodu Umajjadów i jednym z pierwszych nawróconych na islam. Ponieważ był pierwszą osobą nawróconą na nową religię o tak wysokim społecznym statusie, Mahomet darzył go szczególnymi względami, co objawiło się m.in. w oddaniu mu za żony dwóch córek Proroka, Rukajji i Umm Kulsum. Ciesząc się jednocześnie poparciem pobożnych muzułmanów, jak i dawnej mekkańskiej arystokracji, po śmierci Umara w roku 644 Usman został wybrany na kalifa. Chociaż udało mu się kontynuować podboje Umara, to jednak okazał się słabym władcą, skoncentrowanym przede wszystkim na umacnianiu pozycji swojego rodu, który zajął wszystkie najważniejsze stanowiska w państwie. Ta polityka niekontrolowanego nepotyzmu doprowadziła do wybuchu buntu i Usman zginął zamordowany przez rebeliantów w swoim pałacu w roku 656. To szokujące dla współczesnych wydarzenie dało początek późniejszym podziałom w dotychczas jednolitej społeczności muzułmanów. W muzułmańskiej tradycji Usman zapisał się także jako władca, który doprowadził do zredagowania kanonicznej wersji „Koranu”. Późniejsi sunnici zaliczyli Usmana do czterech kalifów prawowiernych, natomiast szyici ostatecznie odrzucili Usmana jako uzurpatora bezprawnie dzierżącego władzę należną Alemu. Wikipedia

“I have been given a responsibility and I have accepted it. Verily I am a follower (of the Sunnah and not an innovator. I promise you that in addition to following the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Sunnah of His Prophet (Muhammad), I will do three other things: following the example of those who came before me with regard to what you have agreed upon and decided, and what is decided by good people openly, and not interfering with you except when a hadd punishment is required. This world is tempting and it makes itself attractive to people, so that many people, so that many people are inclined towards it. Do not be content with this world and do not put your trust in it, for it is not trustworthy. Understand that these wordly temptations will not go away unless you ignore them.”

“Everything has something to undermine it, and every blessing has something to diminish it. The thing that undermines this religion and diminishes this blessing is those who criticize a great deal and those who stab in the back; they show you what you want to see and they conceal that which you dislike. They are wicked like ostiches.”

“Allah has commanded rulers to be shepherds; He did not command them to be money-collectors. The attitude of the earliest leaders of this Ummah was that of shepherds, not money-collectors. Soon you will find your leaders becoming money-collectors, not shepherds. Once that happens, there will be no more modesty, trustworthiness or honesty. The best way of running the people's affairs is to examine the Muslims' situation, find out what their dues are and give them to them, and take from them what is due from them. Then go to ahl al-dhimmah and give them what is due to them and take from them what is due from them. Then confront the enemy and seek to defeat them by means of sincerity.”
