"I was walking on the gardens of an insane asylum when I met a young man reading a philosophy book.

For his manners and the health he portrayed, he didn’t quite match with the patients there. I sat beside him and asked: “What are you doing here?” 

He looked at me surprised. But as he saw that I wasn’t one of the doctors, he answered: 

“That’s very simple. My father, a brilliant lawyer, wanted me to be like him."

“My uncle, owner of a large commercial warehouse, wanted me to follow his example." 

"My mother wanted me to become the image of her beloved father." 

"My sister always cited her husband as the example of a well succeeded man." 

"My brother tried to train me to become an excellent athlete like him.”

“And the same happened with my teachers at school, the piano teacher, the English tutor: all of them were convinced and resolute; they were the best examples to be followed." 

"NO ONE LOOKED AT ME LIKE SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK TO A MAN — BUT AS IF THEY LOOKED INTO A MIRROR."  

THAT WAY, I DECIDED TO ADMIT MYSELF IN THIS ASYLUM. HERE AT LEAST, I CAN BE MY SELF.”

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I am distracted, thinking about myself, and fall inside. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, BUT THE ONES WHO DUG THAT HOLE THERE. I feel disgusted, I AM A VICTIM OF THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I PRETEND I DON'T SEE IT, THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I FALL IN THERE AGAIN. I SHOULD HAVE LEARNT THE LESSON AND SENT SOMEONE TO CLOSE THE HOLE.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I see it. I KNOW IT IS THERE BECAUSE I FELL IN THERE TWICE. However, I am someone used to always take the same path. Due to that, I fall into the hole for the third time; it’s the habit.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I WALK AROUND IT.  Soon after I pass the hole, I hear someone yelling — he must have fallen into the hole. The street is closed and I can’t go on.

■ I WALK ALONG THE STREET. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE SIDEWALK. I PUT A FENCE AROUND IT. I CAN GO ON MY WAY AND NO ONE WILL FALL IN THERE AGAIN. 

System was based on the principle of EQUALITY. There was no class difference between the RULERS and the RULED.

Decisions were made after thorough consultation and sound advice.

Everyone had an equal right on the NATIONAL EXCHEQUER (BAIT-UL-MALL).

Rasululah SAWS and the Righteous Caliphs never claimed exemptions from any stipulation of the law or priority over any one ..... AND THE LAW  made no distinctions between the POOR and the RICH, BLACK and the WHITE, LEADER and the LED.

In the presence of Rasululah SAWS, Salman Farsi, Suhaib Rumi and Bilal Habshi RA enjoyed the same status as that of the Nobles of the Qureish and Ansaar RA. 

There was never a PROTOCOL, GUARDS and SECURITY for Rasululah SAWS and the Righteous Caliphs. Rasululah SAWS and his Caliphs would walk through the streets to help the needy, attend the sick and shower love and affection on the down trodden.

MUSLIMS, JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND THE PAGANS, ALL ENJOYED THE FREEDOM OF 'RELIGION OF THEIR CHOICE WITHOUT ANY COERCION', EXPRESSION, AND BUSINESS.
