Dīwān al-'Azzāba
The Dīwān al-'Azzāba — the council of Ibadi religious scholars who serve simultaneously as jurists, arbiters, and governors — is the unique political form of the Mzab pentapolis, and the closest approximation to the original Ibadi ideal of a community governed by the most learned rather than the most powerful. State and faith are not separated here: the 'Azzāba hold court in the mosque, pronounce on commercial disputes under the same doctrinal framework as theological questions, and legitimate authority requires the consent of this clerical council before it can act. We embrace this austerity as a constitutional principle: our realm will be governed not as kingdoms are governed, but as a community of believers accountable to God and to one another.
