Administration Under the Caliphate of Hazrat Usman (RA)

Abstract

Among the companions, of the Hoy Prophet (ﷺ) Hazrat Uthman Bin Affan is considered a remarkable and a person of high rank due to his piety, generosity. He was among the initial believers who embraced Islam in early days of the prophet-hood. After Hazrat Umar (R.A), he was elected as the third caliph of Islam by Majis-e-Shura. Despite being a soft-spoken person, after the election of the Caliphate, he made many important administrative decisions. In which he made many reforms in the administrative structure of the state, reforms in Bait-ul-Mal, government and administrative matters. He ordered to construct several masjids, cities and welfare institution for the people. There is no doubt that Farooq Azam, with his wisdom, diplomacy, and extraordinary political acumen, overturned the Iranian administration and their wealth and kingdom became the inheritance of the followers of monotheism, leading to the conquest of all of Iran. He instilled fear in Syria, Egypt, Algeria, and Armenia. Hazrat Uthman had to suppress numerous rebellions. There was a rebellion in Egypt; the people of Egypt stopped paying Kharaj and the people of Khorasan adopted insurgency. These rebellions were, in fact, the result of the spirit that conquests do not extinguish the desire for freedom among nations. However, Hazrat Uthman skillfully suppressed all these rebellions.
