General Hospital

Modernization of the Forts

---

The forts no longer look as if they would crumble before our eyes, they are now sturdy enough to withstand most attacks to their walls. Their defenses, although now functional and impressive despite their age, are still lacking in comparison to other nation's forts. We would need to dig deep into the pockets of our taxpayers in order to be able to fund the upgrades and the modernization our forts sorely need.

False Beliefs

---

One of Government's purposes is to spread the true faith and protect it from heresy. It is a noble cause, but when heresy strikes in the very heart of our country it shames us.

Forgery of Documents

---

It was a common defense against annexation and usurpation to forge documents, have them counterfeited or backdated to corroborate one's arguments during times of struggles for expansion of land or privileges.

The urban aristocrats and the guilds and the lower classes are in the grips of a conflict, which the advisors of [Root.Owner.GetName] saw as an opportunity to strengthen the [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle]'s influence in the city of [Root.GetCapitalName]. The encouragement by [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName]'s advisors made the guilds revolt against the aristocrats and they have opened the city gate to allow [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Owner.Monarch.GetName]'s army to occupy the city.

Heart of Mercy

---

Ali, cousin of the Prophet once said: 'Infuse your heart with mercy, love and kindness for your subjects. Be not in face of them a voracious animal, counting them as easy prey, for they are of two kinds: either they are your brothers in religion or your equals in creation. Error catches them unaware, deficiencies overcome them, evil deeds and sins are committed by them intentionally and by mistake. So grant them your pardon and your forgiveness to the same extent that you hope God will grant you His pardon and His forgiveness. For you are above them, and he who appointed you is above you, and God is above him who appointed you. God has sought from you the fulfillment of their requirements and He is trying you with them.'

A valuable lesson can be learnt from his words, which we could devote ourselves to, or find ways to incorporate into our administration.

Capital attracts traders and merchants from all over the world, and the sound and smell of distressed animals, the voices bargaining, the smell of spices and all the colors of the garments, the fabrics and the carpets sold here can be overwhelming. An area in the center of the bazaar has been left untouched, intended for a mosque but as the bazaar has become increasingly busy, that place could be better used for more market stalls.

Religious Cleansing

---

Muhammad himself smashed idols when he retook Mecca, and we have been encouraged by our advisors to emulate the prophet's example, cleanse the country and return Islam to its simple beginnings. Idolatry is forbidden, but still people pilgrimage to holy shrines and pray at tombs. Is this haram - a sin, or should they be forgiven?

The Corrupt Governor

---

Each and every governor has their financial assets and other details recorded before they are appointed. This is then kept in a special office, only to be reviewed each year when they are being checked for discrepancies in the finances. This is to avoid corruption and bribery, but sometimes the system fails.

Complaints about rulers debauchery, decadent ways and refusal to restore the prestige of Islam has become increasingly common.

Advisor Accused of Shirk

The work of an advisor will expose you to different cultures, religions and traditions. We have always chosen to avert our gaze from the peculiar habits of advisor and the obsession our advisor has with illuminated manuscripts and miniatures. Though our suspicions grew when we heard gossip and tales from servants and people of the court, we would never have anticipated the look on advisor's face when the imam accused them of shirk - practicing idolatry!

Abolish Idolatry?

"Your rule is questioned," your advisor says, "and the people are doubting your piety. You must do something to establish a religious and political sovereignty!

Taxes or Agriculture

---

The people of our country are nomads and peasants who live of what the land provides. Our governors need us to decide what we should focus on, taxes or agriculture? One advisor claims that the development of land is more important than the collection of the tax. Tax can only be obtained by the development of the land and to demand tax without doing that will ruin our country and destroy its people. Another claims that people will develop the land without interference if tax is demanded of them and they see a reason behind the demand.

Reforms of the Pious

---

After many meetings, discussions and majlis, our ministers and advisors have brought us different reforms for us to consider. Each has presented their ideas, and we are to choose between two of these. The first one: exclude state officials, such as diplomats and governors, from entering into any business. This to let them fully concentrate on their work and not on anything else, thus hopefully allowing them to do a better job. The second reform: distribute pasture lands and game reserves that now are reserved for the family of the dignitaries among the poor, to cultivate the land. Unpaid labor should also be made illegal.

Each and every province, and every city, should have at least one madrassa, a religious school with free education, delicious food, free books and even stipends to each students provided. There should be annual examinations, and the students who performed splendidly should receive prizes and be recommended for high and honorable positions. Should these teach Hadith, the teachings, deeds and sayings of the prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him, or should they teach Fiqh and Imaan, theology and belief?

The Sulh

---

Two conflicting parties have come to you. They ask you to mediate the conflict and put forth documents, witnesses and other evidence. You look over the material provided as you ponder how to declare a hudna - a truce - and how the settlement should be created in order to maintain the honor and status of both parties. This property dispute is not the first you have to settle, but it is a rare, sensitive one that must be settled in such a way to avert a cycle of revenge. Both have claims that should give them the right to the land, but which one is true and which one is false?

The Qadi, the Hisbah and the Muhtasib

Not many months after you appointed a Qadi - a judge ruling in accordance with Sharia - he comes to you with furrowed brow and anxious eyes. He tells you of your people's decadence, their crimes and their impious ways. Reminding you sternly of Hisbah, your divinely sanctioned duty to intervene and command right and forbid wrong. The laws of Allah must be followed. Your people need mutaweens, religious police, to enforce Sharia.
