The Creator of all humans and indeed of the entire universe has ordained a
system that operates everything that we can perceive and also that that we are
unable to understand. HE alone possesses and retains the ultimate power to keep
the system going.

The declared system of managing the collective affairs of all humans as

spelled out by Almighty Allah can be summarized as 0





















 . It has its roots in the
enormous love and affection that our Creator desires and displays for the humans.
The recorded history of humankind, however, reveals that they have mostly been
working against this system owing to the satanic interference in their affairs. We,
therefore, note with understandable concern that in the known history of
humankind only a handful numbers of persons are seen in the governmental control
of operating this system as His appointees.

Humans are Almighty Allah͛s proud creation and He has gifted them with
(fractions of) His power in almost all spheres of life and living. Within the control that
Allah Almighty exercises, He has allowed the humans to have their way remaining
inside the defined spheres of life. He desires that the humans live their life to be able
to qualify for the indefinite benefits that He will grant them for infinite life span
beginning with the ending of this life.

Understanding of the nature of His creation and knowledge of the

performance of humans has prompted their Creator, once again out of sheer and
unlimited mercy and infinitely deep love for them, to outline a ͞number two system͟
of governing their collective affairs. This system aims at ensuring their well being in
the life of this world. In the ͞number one system͟ Almighty Allah retained the key
with Him and in the ͞number two system͟
He desired of handing over this key to the
humans. Where the ͞number one system͟ was to be operated by the persons of His
choosing, in the ͞number two system͟ it were the humans entitled to nominate and
choose their representatives that were to steer this system. In the ͞number one
system͟ the command and control rested with Him and He was entirely responsible
for the behaviour of His chosen ones too. Therefore, logically speaking, the success
of ͞number two system͟ would depend on the extent of the command and control
of the humans and the level of their hold on the doings of their chosen ones.

Humans in their known and recorded history have so far tried and endured
the below mentioned systems that they coined for themselves:-

It is considered as opposite to the other above mentioned
systems of governance.

Almost all forms of governing mechanisms being practiced in today͛s world,

do have a certain level of democratic content in their makeup. None of the above
mentioned governing mechanisms has, nonetheless, succeeded in delivering the
idealized outcome. Democracy, however, appears to be the nearest to the ͞number
two system͟ outlined by Almighty Allah. But this too, as practiced in its various
forms, has been unable to ensure the total wellbeing of the masses. It is, however,
noteworthy that the success or otherwise of this system was/is and would continue
to be directly proportional to the level, the constancy and the consistency of the
command and control exercised by the humans in all areas of the system. In the
current context ͞humans͟ may be replaced with ͞voters͟. Close and critical
examination of all the above mentioned governing mechanisms in general and the
one currently operating in Pakistan in particular, with special reference to the
democratic content, reveals the following:-

1. ? Ooters are mostly empowered once in four or five years when the election is
to take place. This empowerment attains physical dimensions only for a few
minutes when the voter is going through the process of vote casting. In our
context the voter is, however, constantly subjected to a number of pressures
before, during and even after these moments of empowerment. Some of
these are the family bondage, the burden of social environments, the
influence of poverty, the culture of use of unbridled power by the mighty
ones and the projected promises regarding provision of basic civic needs. In
 such scenario it is only fair not to consider such exercise a free, fair and
impartial use of the power of vote.
2. ? A sizeable majority (more than fifty percent) of the voter population prefers
to stay out of the electioneering process thus rendering the whole exercise
anything but democratic. This scenario gets further polluted when the
majority of the absenting class comprises of the independent and educated
lot of the country.
3. ? Influence of the organized media, the momentum of the force of governing
mechanism in place and the charm of the charismatic personality in power
are some of the other distracting factors that make fun of the democratic
content of the systems in vogue.
4. ? Orchestration of ballot box counts, employing innumerable methods of pre
and post poll rigging and producing results of own liking employing various
tiers of the governing mechanism are too well known aspects operating, in
varying degrees, against the spirit of democracy almost in all the present day
systems.
5. ? Party based political activities often become hostage to the party line of
thinking that is mostly guided (or one may say typically misguided) and
controlled by a person or at best a family with vested interests. Thus the
party bosses are able to block, deshape and destroy the real spirit of
democratic culture. In Pakistan͛s democratic scenario this aspect is very
obvious and has been observed obstructing the 




 and
also 









 of the country.
6. ? Centralized control of national resources besides breeding corruption
continues to be employed as a tool to subvert the democratic desires and
inclinations of the voters. This attitude only helps in destabilizing and
derailing the desired democratic culture.
7. ? In the prevalent election culture of our country it is mostly the influential,
often the corrupt, and to a large extent the dirty rich persons that stand a fair
chance of imposing their desire of becoming voter͛s representative. uod
fearing and the good lot of humans find it awfully difficult and painfully
cumbersome to measure to the challenge and thus they prefer to stay out of
the electioneering process.

In the backdrop of above discussion the following may be considered as the

÷



 of the above talked ͞number two system͟:-

1. ? Allegiance to THE CREATOR LORD is acknowledged (at least) in the matters

associated with common wellbeing of each and every voter. This is the
bottom line. Humans are perfectly well within their right to follow higher
levels of allegiance to Almighty Allah.
2. ? The voters must retain the RESPONSIBILITY and also the AUTHORITY of
creating, establishing and operating the entire system without getting
involved in the routine functioning of the set up.
 3. ? Pyramid of the entire edifice constituting the ͞number two system͟ stands
completely supported and comprehensively controlled by a Basic Unit (BU)
that is composed of a well knit component of the society.
4. ? The voters exercise a continuous and consistent control over their
representatives in the scenario wherein will of the huge and independent
majority prevails on all functionaries of the system.
5. ? Only those individuals are entrusted the task of operating the system that do
not desire to accumulate wealth and also harbour no urge to play as bosses
over the voters.
6. ? All tiers of the system are formed and operated in the scenario of mutual
dependence but operational independence ensur ing a well coordinated
move forward on the path to peace and progress of the entire community
and the country.
7. ? All organs of the state machinery derive their functional strength from the
concept of service to the voters. Due democratic controls to implement this
aspect must be put in place.

Based on the above enumerated Broader Contours an Ê


Ê



ÊÊ
 

emerges as below:-

 
 
 Comprises of seven tiers with each having a well
defined area/role as under:-

1. ? Basic Unit (BU) of the pyramid comprises 1200 to 1400 voters in thinly
populated areas and up to 5000 to 7000 voters in the densely populated
parts of the country. Fundamental criterion being the closeness of the
community and the easy approach and access.
2. ? 5 to 12 BUs are grouped to form second tier of the pyramid. It may be named
as Union Council (UC).
3. ? UC upwards the existing boundaries of a Tehsil, District, Division, Province
and the Country serve as the other FIOE tiers of the governing mechanism.
Except for the latter other boundaries may be altered to suit cohesiveness
and easy access by the public.
4. ? Above tiers owe their existence to service of the voters and remain in
continuation like the Senate.
5. ? Except for the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Higher Education
Commission there MAY be NO autonomous body operating outside the
jurisdiction of given tiers of proposed governing mechanism. These two
commissions may be made directly responsible to the country headperson
for optimal output.
6. ? Armed Forces of the country to operate under the direct control and
supervision of the Country Headperson while all other law enforcing agencies
 function under respective tiers of the proposed system. All events of
emergency in the country are tackled by the Armed Forces under instructions
from the Country Headperson.





 

 



1. ? Elections are conducted under the Election Commission of Pakistan in two

stages. In first stage every voter is asked to propose his/her representative
and in stage two the voters cast their votes for every person proposed in
stage one. All those who bag minimum 12 percent of the total votes are
taken as elected representatives of the BU.
2. ? Elected representatives of each BU adhere to the process of nomination
followed by election and pick up/formulate the following:-
a. ? Headperson.
b. ? Secretary.
c. ? Coordination and Planning Body (CPB).
d. ? Law and Order Body (LOB).
e. ? Zakat/Revenue Collection Body ( ZRCB).
f.? Civic Facilities Body (CFB).
g.? Education and Sports Body (ESB).
h. ? Judicial Body (JB).
i.? Agreed number (may be 5-7) of elected representatives to be sent to
the UC.


 

=? These bodies may be added or deleted to suit the peculiar

environments/needs/aspirations of particular areas/people.
=? Proper secretariat staff to assist the Secretary may be arranged locally
or got posted from higher tiers.
=? Performance of each body is scrutinized in quarterly coordination
meetings besides providing guidelines for the future.
=? Suggested responsibilities/duties of above appointments/bodies may
be examined for further input at Annex A.
3. ? Above process is repeated to constitute the required bodies at the remaining
six tiers of the governing mechanism. At all tiers of governance the whole
business is conducted through the various bodies formed for the purpose.
There are NO ministers at any level. Existing Ministries and Divisions serve as
secretariats of various bodies made responsible for various government
functions.
4. ? In addition to the existing disciplinary rules/procedures all elected
representatives hand over their resignations to the Headperson of respective
BU who would invoke the same after following the due procedure. This
 would happen when more than fifty percent voters of the BU declare an
elected representative as persona non-grata. The fact as to at which tier of
the governing mechanism such an elected representative is working would
have little effect.
5. ? Existing administrative set up is retained with due modifications and made
answerable to the elected representatives through respective corresponding
heads at various tiers. Experts taken from existing administrative set-up are
tasked to assist the voter͛s representatives in routine functions besides
keeping records of all matters.
6. ? Law making process is initiated at the level of concerned body and follows a
procedure where every representative working at the tier serves as a
concerned party. Every tier is, however free to make laws and rules relevant
to its functioning but without causing any interference in the operation of
other tiers. Coordination and Planning Bodies of different tiers will
coordinate to remove any frictions.
7. ? Higher tiers do not interfere in the domain of lower tiers except for
extending a helping hand to complete the planned/intended development
projects and/or boosting its efficiency/capacity in unusual circumstances .










1.? Zakat, Sadaqat and other agreed taxes are collected at the level of BU by
the ZRCB. Each higher tier posts qualified person(s) to maintain records of
all financial matters at the immediate below tier.
2.? Seventy percent of the generated revenue is utilized at BU level on the
planned projects in agreed areas of voter wellbeing.
3.? Thirty percent of the generated revenue at BU level is transmitted to the
higher tier (UC).
4.? Each UC retains seventy percent of the received and also the generated
revenue for agreed purposes. Out of the remaining amount twenty percent
is transmitted to the next higher tier and ten percent distributed amongst
the constituent BUs to ensure equitable progress of all areas .
5.? Above process is repeated at every higher tier of the governing mechanism.
Downward transmissions may follow the criterion of uniform development
of all segments of the country and the society.
6.? Resource generating areas are clearly spelled out for various tiers to avoid
any friction amongst the governing tiers and to save the tax payers of any
duplicity.
7.? Monthly internal audit of all financial matters at each tier and six monthly
audits by the one step higher tier are so arranged that audit authorities
remain busy round the year. Audit teams comprise of elected
representatives and the experts drawn from existing administrative set up.
 All audit reports are made public for voter͛s consumption. At country level a
separate but autonomous audit team (like the public accounts committee)
is created to undertake the required job.




 
 

1. ? The proposed system in a viable shape may be opened for debate for about
a year before giving it a workable profile. Draft along with all the details
should then be viewed by the experts in various walks of life before
finalizing the same. In its final shape it may then be placed before the
parliament seeking its endorsement. On authorization (or rejection) from
the parliament it should be put through a referendum in the country for
final ratification.
? Before making the system operational, available administrative structure in
the country must be made to build its capacity to support smooth
implementation of the proposed

  
 

 

 

3. ? A cell may be created at Senate Secretariat to follow through the idea and
keep track of all input from various quarters. The cell may remain
functional for a period of 5 to 7 years to sort out some teething problems
that are likely to come up during implementation. It may also arrange
training of the elected representatives to ensure full grasp of the system for
optimal results.
