یہ تصنیف 1932 ء میں منظر عام پر آئی ۔ یہ کتاب اطالوی شاعر ”دانتے “کی”ڈیوائن کامیڈی“ کے انداز پر لکھی گئی۔ اقبال نے مولانا جلال الدین رومی کے ہمراہ افلاک کی سیر کی ہے اور مختلف مذہبی رہنماؤں اور دانشوروں سے ملاقات کی ہے۔ آخر میں جاوید سے خطاب ہے جو دراصل تمام نو جوانوں کے لیے پیغام ہے۔ اس تصنیف سے اقبال کے مطالعہ کی وسعت کا اندازہ ہوتا ہے خاص طور پر ہندی فکرو فلسفہ کے حوالہ سے اقبال کا مطالعہ کس قدر وسیع تھا۔ ہندوستانی قوم کے ماضی کی جھلک پر نظر ڈالی جاسکتی ہے اور جو لوگ قوم اور وطن کے ساتھ غداری کرتے ہیں ان کا کیا انجام ہوتاہے۔ ان کی حالت بھی دکھائی گئی ہے۔
کہیں ابو جہل کا نوحہ ہے تو کہیں فرعون کی روح ہے۔ کہیں ایک عورت پیغمبری کا دعوئی کرتی نظر آتی ہے اور شوہروں سے آزادی کا پیغام دیتی ہے تو کہیں ابلیس انسان کی کمزوری اور اپنی آسان کامیابیوں پر کسی مرد حق کی خواہش کرتا نظر آتا ہے۔ کہیں غدار جعفر بنگالی اور صادق دکنی خونی قلزم کے عذاب میں پڑے نظر آتے ہیں۔
ایسے افکار و نظریات اقبال کے علاوہ کہیں اور دیکھنے کو نہیں ملتے ۔ جاوید نامہ اقبال کی شہرہ آفاق تصنیف ہے جس نے اقبال کا خون تک نچوڑ لیا تھا تب کہیں جا کر یہ مکمل ہوئی۔
The period of the rightly guided caliphate is the best role model after the time of the Prophet of Islām, Muḥammad (S. A. W). The rightly guided caliphs crafted the best honest governing mechanism. They understood their commitment with their Lord, Allāh, and the people. They took up the responsibility for providing for the basic needs of their people, like food, shelter, education, peace, stipends of children, married and unmarried persons, social security and justice, etc. The caliphs would appoint the tax collectors, governors and other government officials on the basis of merit: their honesty, qualifications, experience, physical fitness, etc. Further, they, at the time of their appointment, would advise their officials in an open gathering to better use their abilities, resources and powers for the welfare of the masses. Moreover, the government prepared a list of the assets and the properties of their government officials at the time of their appointments. It they found, later, significant increase in the assets, it was investigated and asked for an explanation. If the officials failed to justify the means of the increase in their assets, the additional assets and properties were confiscated by government. In this research study, the author highlights the measures adopted by the rightly guided Caliphs to ensure honest conduct of affairs by the appointed officials of the government.
