When Othman Ebn Affan became the Caliph and he accepted this great responsibility, he sent three massages to three important parties. The first massage was to the Muslim nation. He said “our lives are short. Do good deeds as much as you can, because the world we live in always makes a man forget his duties. Keep the experience of old nations before your eyes and see how they forgot the teachings of Allah, so they ended in a bad way. Allah ordered us to work and ordered us not to forget the judgment day, so always be prepared.” This was Othman’s first massage to the nation and when the people heard him saying it, they cried.
The second massage from Othman Ebn Affan was to the leaders of the army. He said “you are the defenders of Muslims, and Omar En Al Khattab has prepared you very well. I don’t want any change in your situations or you will be changed, and always remember that Allah is watching you in all what you are doing”.
As for the third massage, it was from Othman Ebn Affan to Muslims living in far countries. He said” I call for the workers every season and I ordered them to implement what is allowed and avoid what is forbidden. I fulfill any request I receive from my workers and me or my family have no rights like the people I rule”.
These were the most important three massages Othman Ebn Affan sent when he became in charge for the Muslim world. The first massage is for the Muslim nation and he emphasized on the importance of work. He ordered the nation not to forget the teachings of Allah and never to forget that Allah will reward us for our good deeds in the judgment day. The second massage was for the army, because he knew the important rule of the army to protect a nation that is targeted by a lot of enemies. He reminded the leaders of the army of what Omar Ebn Al Khattab did to them, because he knew that Omar managed to create a very strong Muslim army in his era.
The third massage is for Muslims living away from the center of ruling and to those workers who are very important for building a strong community. It is very important for a new leader, who just accepted the responsibility of a great nation like the Islamic nation, to send direct massages to the most important sections in his community. He managed to deliver clear meanings and establish very clear guidelines for his ear with these massages and later we will talk about Othman Eb Affan’s achievements with he was a Caliph.
