This could be through measure such as: giving freedoms, permissibility of ownership and revitalisation of land and all that Allah has created for the benefit of mankind - those which are not already owned by others - on the basis of the law of "Precedence" within the framework of "for you". Job opportunities could also be created through encouraging the wealthy to invest in the production sector in order to create employment for those without jobs and other similar measures.

If some people still remained without jobs - after all those measures - they must have the provision to lead an honourable average life until they find a suitable job. This may be through the support and facilities of the Bayt_el_Maal and the encouragement of philanthropists to take part in this cause to eradicate deprivation. For this Allah states "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!"69 And He has made this to be one of the causes of ending up in the hellfire.

The holy Qur'an, The Certain Hour [^69]: 34. Civil Service Reform It can be argued that the swelling of the civil service is worse than inflation of the economy or it can be one of its causes. This is because the inflation of the body of the civil service turns the producers into consumers and leads to domination of bureaucracy that limits people's freedoms.

In this way the country heads towards deprivation and poverty after the ruling system takes over the wealth (of the nation) and denies its people the freedom of work and production. Every surplus civil servant becomes a burden to the people and a barrier to their freedoms. The role of the civil service is to secure the safety and security of the people as well as their welfare and to guard their interests.

The size of the civil service that would accomplish such tasks adequately and at the same time not be a burden on the people nor a barrier to their freedoms is a size just adequate to manage the affairs of the government and serve its people. The civil service is there to serve the people and the civil servant has a role similar to that of a teacher or a driver or a pilot who the society needs.

However, to regard the civil service as a career would not serve the nation, nor it would protect its interest. It would become a job opportunity and a source of income, as is the case in many countries ruled by dictatorship.
