"Prior to the inflation of government responsibilities through flawed ijtihād, these were restricted to military defense, adjudicating disputes between people, and a limited set of administrative tasks. If we wish to add responsibilities beyond these, it is upon us to prove that these additions would enhance society. Economic activities and resource management are largely left to individuals and communities.

The choice is not, as some might fear, between organization, bureaucracy, and hierarchy on the one hand, and the vacuum of anarchy and chaos on the other. Ḥuqūq (rights) fill the vacuum. Linking the aḥkām (rulings) of ḥuqūq diminishes the need for ijtihād. Government reduction will lead not to chaos but rather to a more balanced and just society, transcending inefficiencies and social inequalities typically effected by government intervention."
