Abstract
The attitude of staff in most of the public enterprises and Governmental organizations in Nigeria usually determines the effective, efficient, fair and credible relationship between the organization and its clients (customers). Thus, a good representation by the staff of any corporate utility company or industry is an essential element of good governance and sustainable business enterprise. Also, Islamic traditions entail that good moral qualities and ethical values elevate the status of man and make him excel among others in all his endeavours religiously, economically, socially and politically. This research aims to explain the Islamic laws of transaction and mutual dealings (Fiqh al-Mu’amalat), their meaning, sources, scope, as well as ethical and moral qualities of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) that are worthy of emulation by all Muslims in their dealings with one another. The research will also identify some of the Mu’amalat challenges and unethical behaviours exhibited by both parties which are detrimental to their overall progress and provide some possible suggestions and recommendations on how to establish a better relationship between KAEDCO staff and Muslim customers in the Gusau metropolis.. The researchers employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect and collate all the necessary data that are relevant and suitable for the research. The results of the findings discovered some of the key areas where problems usually arise between the said parties. It also identified certain rights, obligations and responsibilities of both so that each will operate within his jurisdictions. The teachings of the Islamic law of Mu’amalat have been carefully discussed from the Qur’an, Sunnah and the views of Muslim jurists as a guiding path of ensuring better correspondence between the Staff of KAEDCO and the Muslim customers in Gusau Metropolis. The findings of the study revealed that good service delivery and quick response to customer’s complaints are among the key measures of enhancing a better relationship between the said parties. The paper recommends that both parties should base their Mu’amalat on the basic teachings of Islamic law of transaction as a means of fostering good relationships.

Introduction
Islam is
a complete way of life governing all aspects of human endeavours; it
encompasses one’s existence on this earth from all spheres, his relations with
His creator, his relations with other men and the society at large. The
religion of Islam aims at the happiness of life and fair dealings between individuals
in society. It rejects any means that threaten the peace and happiness of man’s
existence on earth. Therefore, fiqh al Mu’amalat
as a law of personal dealings and transactions remains one of the most
important fields of Islamic jurisprudence aimed at developing mutual relationships
and fair dealings in society[1].
It is an Islamic concept relating to social consciousness that regulates the people's
conduct in all aspects of social, religious, political and economic life.
However,
the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) is a public utility enterprise
that was established in 1972 by decree No.24 of 29th. In 1972 the
Niger Dams Authority (NDA) and Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN) were
merged to form the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) which was the then
major electricity firm in Nigeria until power sector reforms result in the
creation of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) and later privatization of
electricity generation and Distribution[2].
Similarly, from its establishment to date, it has become one of the worst
public sectors that have been very worrisome, with unsatisfied service
delivery, and unfair and unethical dealings with its customer. Though keep on
changing names as a result of power sector reform and commercialization their
operation remains unsatisfied to most of their customers, consumers and other
stakeholders[3].
Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO) was registered as a company
out of the 18 successor companies carved out from the former National Electric
Power Authority (NEPA) which was decentralized into the Power Holding Company
of Nigeria (PHCN). Kaduna Electric was privatized on 4th December 2014. Located
in the North-Western part of Nigeria, it has a distribution license to serve
customers in 4 States of Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara, covering 84 LGAs,
spread over 150,000 km2 0.5+ million customers from amongst an estimated 2+
million households[4].
Brief about the Muslim community in Gusau town
Gusau
district was one of the districts that emerged following the jihad movement of the Nineteenth Century
in Hausa land, led by the legendary Shaykh
Usmanu Danfodiyo. It was founded around 1799 by Mallam
Muhammadu Sambo Dan-Ashafa, a disciple of the Shaykh Danfodiyo. Gusau district only became prominent after the
fall of Yandoto in 1806. Since its emergence as an important settlement in the Sokoto Caliphate, Gusau
town attracted attention as an important agricultural and commercial centre. At
any rate, the town and its surrounding areas had attracted a large presence of
agriculturists; farmers and livestock rearers, especially cattle owned by the
Fulani. Gusau before the colonial period, was an agrarian,
agriculture was the backbone of the economy of Gusau, the economic activity of
the people during this period consisted mainly of farming with other minor
supplementary occupations. Although, like most other Hausa towns agriculture
remained the main activity. In the area, there were builders, thatches, butchers, blacksmiths, drummers, praise
singers, etc. Gusau and the territory assigned to Mallam Sambo Dan- Ashafa fall
within the metropolitan section of the caliphate. In Gusau after the
consolidation of Mallam Sambo with their Headquarters at Gusau had under the
territories of Wonaka, Mada, Yandoto, Samri, Magami, Marabu, Mareri, Mutumji,
Kwaren Ganuwa, Wanke and a group of villages around Gusau, like other parts of
the caliphate. Gusau covers a total land area of approximately 3469 square kilometres.
The area within which Gusau is located is interrupted by a few little rocky
outcrops, such as the hills of Mareri and Dokau. Gusau enjoys a tropical type
of climate largely controlled by two masses, namely the tropical and maritime[5].
The city
of Gusau, located in Northwestern Nigeria, it is the capital of Zamfara state.
It is also the name of the state’s local government area (LGA) which has an
area of 3,364 km (1,299 sq mi) and a population of 383,162 as of the 2006
census and a projection of about 528,400 as of 21st March 2016[6].
The city has some prominent areas including Gada-Biyu, Tudun-Wada, Sabon Gari,
Samaru, Unguwar Gwaza, Labin-Labin, Damba, Canteen Daji, Igbo Road, Motorgage
and Premier Road among others. Its diverse ethnic population consists of
Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Igala, and other ethnic groups.
Concept and Definition of Mu’amalat
Mu’amalat is an Arabic word which
means transaction or dealing. It is a part of Islamic jurisprudence which
signifies rulings governing the commercial transaction in Islam[7].
It provides much of the basics for Islamic economics and the instruments of
Islamic financing and deals not only with Islamic legality but also with social
and economic repercussions and the rationale of its prohibition. In legal
Islamic terminology, fiqh- al Mu’amalat are set of rules related to
worldly matters such as business/trading, commerce, transaction, lending,
borrowing and contracts. It also involves the rules regarding the social
interaction between humans such as marriage contract, inheritance, (Fara’id), endowment (Waqaf) and other human activities.
Mu‘amalat:
is the knowledge of Shariah ruling
that relates to the practical aspects of a mukallaf
(an accountable Muslim i.e. an adult and mentally competent) in the area of
business and financial dealings derived from its detailed evidence.
Furthermore,
Mu’amalat means any form of mutual
dealings held between people to do transactions for their needs such as in
trading and commerce. It is a social relationship which consists of various
economic and non-economic activities. It is also defined as a branch of Islamic
jurisprudence that covers the area of commercial and business activities in the
economy. Fiqh Muamalat: Refers to the Shariah rulings related to the business
and financial dealings between people[8]
Sources of Fiqh Al-Mu’amalat
Fiqh
al-Mu’amalat is a Shar’iah ruling that deals with
interpersonal relationships between a person and others related to business and
financial dealings, dispute settlement, rules, rights and responsibility, etc[9].
The text of the Qur’an, Prophetic traditions and juristic opinions form the
general foundation and universal principles of Islamic law of transaction.
There are a lot of examples from each source of Islamic Shari’ah based on this field of study. Allah (S.W.T) says in the
Glorious Qur’an:
O
believers do not consume (use) your wealth among yourselves illegally, but rather
trade with it by mutual consent[10].
Allah
(SWT) also says in another verse about transactions:
O you
who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it
down……….[11]
In
another verse, Allah (S.W.T) says:
And do
not consume one another’s wealth unjustly, or sent it in (In bribery) to the
rulers so that (they might aid) you (to) Consume a portion of the wealth
of the people in sin, while you know (it is unlawful)”[12].
In
another surah, Allah (S.W.T) says:
And Allah Has permitted trade and prohibited
Riba[13].
Allah
(S.W.T) also says in another surah:
O you who believed! fear Allah and be with those who are truthful (in word and deeds)[14].
However,
about justice when dealing with people Allah (S.W.T) says:
Indeed Allah loves those who act
justly[15].
In
another verse He also says:
And give measurement and weight with justice[16]”
Allah
(S.W.T) also encourages mankind to fear Him and settle their matters between
themselves in goodness. Allah the Guarantee Disposer says:
The believers are but
brothers, so make a settlement between
your brothers. And fear that you may receive
mercy[17].
Similarly,
numerous traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) emphasize the teachings of
Islamic law of transaction both in its social and financial context. The entire
life of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is a complete guide and source of the Islamic
laws of Mu’amalat. These aspects of Mu’amalat could be in his business transactions
(trading) and his relationship with one another even among the people of other
religions, Jews, Christians and the Makkan
infidels. Allah (S.W.T) in the Glorious Qur’an praises this kind gesture of His
noble Prophet when He says:
And most
surely you conform (yourself) to sublime morality[18]
The
above quoted verse expresses the possession of good moral virtues by the
Prophet which are his traits to be admired by the people of other religions and
the unbelievers. Therefore, any Muslim who wishes to be good in moral attitudes
should study the life of the Prophet (S.A.W) as instructed by Allah (S.W.T) in
the Glorious Qur’an. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was described by Allah (S.W.T) as
Uswah al-Hasanah for those whose hearts felt for Allah and the Last
Day. Allah (S.W.T) says:
Certainly,
you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example (beautiful pattern of conduct) for him who hopes
in Allah and the Last Day, and remember Allah much[19].
The
above-mentioned verse also commands the believers to copy and emulate the life
pattern of the Prophet (S.A.W) for he possesses the characters that are worthy
of emulation. It is therefore necessary for all Muslims in all their affairs to
follow strictly the teachings of the Qur’an and the lifestyle of the seal of
the Prophets (S.A.W). More so, Allah (S.W.T) also reiterates that it Is based
on His mercy that He guides the Prophet to be very soft, kind, simple and open
to all (both his companions and unbelievers). And had it been you are found of
intolerable mind, they would not have obeyed you; neither listened to your
preaching nor embraced your message. Allah (S.W.T)
says:
So, by
the mercy of Allah (O Muhammad) you were lenient with them. and if you had been
rude (in speech) and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from you. So,
pardon them ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when
you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely
(upon Him)[20].
From the
above-mentioned verses, one can understand the best human beings are those who interact
with others with good manners and excellent behaviour. Similarly, Prophet
Muhammad (S.A.W) in many of his
traditions encourages the believers to be law-abiding and firm in their mutual
dealings with one another in social, economic, political and spiritual life.
More so, when the Ummul Mu’minun A’isha (R.A) was asked about the
character of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), she replied his character entirely is the
Qur’an.
Similarly,
Abu Musa reported Allah’s Messenger (S.A.W) as saying:
A
believer is like a brick for another believer, the one supporting the other[21].
Furthermore,
Nu’man bin Bashir also reported
Allah’s Messenger (P.B.U.H) as saying:
The
believers are like one person; if his head aches, the whole-body aches with fever and
sleeplessness[22].
Mu’amalat Challenges between Kaedco Staff and Muslim Customers in Gusau
Metropolis
It is
generally believed that the majority of the population residing in the Gusau
Metropolitan area are Muslims and there exists a very long-time relationship
between them and the Electricity officials since the period of defunct NEPA,
PHCN to the time of KAEDCO. In an outline consultation, survey and interview,
many Muslim customers expressed their dismays and grievances that need the
attention of many stakeholders. This was explained when some prominent
customers described the relationship as hitherto, disheartened and not in line
with both the teachings of the religion of Islam, work ethics and regulations
of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)[23].
Some the area of the challenges revealed from the findings of this research are
as follows:
Estimated Billing Charge
An
estimated bill is a system of billing electricity customers for energy consumed
based on their previous usage of the overall consumption of the substation,
feeder or transformer without considering the actual energy consumed by the
individual customers. Muslims opined that it is one of the teachings of Islamic
law of transaction to use a clear measure and a just scale in a transaction.
Allah
(S.W.T) says:
And give measurement and weight with justice[24].
Kaduna
electric officials issued estimate bills to the customers who thought the
customers possessed meters which the company referred to as obsolete meters[25].
The National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) decreed that all
customers should be metered to avoid serving customers with estimated bills.
Inaccurate Billing
Customers
under this billing system were mandated to pay above what they have consumed every
month even with the shortage and unstable power supplied. We are not satisfied
with the type of bill we received from our electricity service providers
despite the low level of supply that we have been experiencing[26].
Sometimes, customers are served with a bill that has an outrageous amount that
common sense cannot perceive. For example, a customer who was billed N5,000 in the
previous month may be billed up to N50,000 in another month at the same
household or apartment[27].
Similarly, as Muslims, the Islamic law of transaction entails that in all
Muslim transactions or contracts, an amount or value should be specified, and
the services to be rendered should be agreed upon by the two contracting
parties without any hidden defect. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) says:
Whosoever
enters into a sale with you let him stipulate a determinate weight and
measurement, and a determinate period of delivery[28].
This is
one of the current challenges that hinder a better relationship and mutual
understanding between the customers and the Kaduna Electric officials.
Transfer of Outstanding Debt to New
Tenants/Occupants
Another
issue irritating most of the Muslim customers in the Gusau metropolis when it
comes to entering a new house rented or bought was the transfer of accumulated
outstanding debt to the new tenant. That has been one of the major problems
faced by some Muslim customers and it deviates from the teaching of the Islamic
law of transaction. Though in Islamic law of transaction, a debt may be
transferred as (Hawal al-Dayn)
it should be with the consent and agreement of the two contracting parties. In
his book titled Fundamentals of Islamic Law of Contract in Business and
Banking, A.Y. Sanyinna mentioned thus:
The
contracting parties should be equally aware of the the legal existence of the
two debts[29].
People
should be very careful when it comes to the issue of buying or entering into a new
house. New tenants or anybody who wishes to buy a new house should ask for the
water and electricity bills before concluding the contractual agreement[30].
Poor Technical Maintenance and Fault Clearing
It is
not the responsibility of the electricity customer or community to buy,
replace, or repair electricity transformers, poles, and related materials or
equipment used in the supply of electricity
It has become the habit of KAEDCO officials in
Gusau to put an unnecessary burden on repairing or buying some electrical items
such as cables, wire, units, or feeder pillars as well as poles in their
substation which is the company’s sole responsibility. However, in this aspect,
the officials may not ask you to buy anything but they leave you in absolute
darkness to the next extent that you will start finding a solution to the
problem within your available means[31].
Continued
Billing of Customers under disconnection
Another
common illicit act is billing a consumer for a certain number of months that he
has not been enjoining the light either as a result of disconnection or network
fault from the substation. Most of the bills that have accumulated up to
millions of naira outstanding debt were accumulated either due to
non-remittance of the money paid by the customers or through an amount billed
when the customer is under disconnection. This also deviated from the main
principles and teachings of Islam. Allah warned us against indulging in Riba, deceit and other
fraudulent acts in business affairs. Similarly, Allah cautions the believers
that in dealing with one another, we should be just and fair in all our
transactions. Allah (S.W.T) says:
And do not consume one another’s wealth unjustly, or sent it (in bribery) to the rulers so
that
they might aid) you
() in consuming a portion of the wealth of people in sin, while you know (it is
unlawful)[32].
No-Notice Disconnection
It is
the right of the customers to be notified in writing ahead of disconnection of
electricity services to ensure quality service delivery. Some of the KAEDCO
officials in the Gusau metropolis developed a harsh mindset of massive
disconnection of customers' light to attract a reconnection fee amount from
customers. Sometimes a customer was not far from his house and some may even
call and admit that they will come soon but this will never be an excuse since
the target was already set for that reconnection fee[33].
Findings
From the
findings of the research, it was discovered that good service delivery and
quick response to the customers’ complaints are the major keys to a successful
business and development of any organization. The hike in the electricity price
is also one of the reasons why most of the users cannot afford to continue with
electricity. More so, good customer relationships will also help the company
retain its customers and improve the number of their customers within the Gusau
and beyond. Also, regular and stable supply will enhance and improve their cash
collection. The result of the findings also revealed that poor billing,
inaccurate charges, non-response to customers' complaints, using third Parties
(NEPA 2), problems of fault repair, poor technical maintenance and poor
voltage, are some of the factors responsible for bringing most of the
challenges between KAEDCO Staff and the Muslim customers in Gusau Metropolis.
Recommendations
The major contending issues and Mu’amalat challenges have already been identified from the findings
of this research. However, these are some valuable suggestions to ensure a
smooth and good relationship between the KAEDCO officials and Muslim customers
in the Gusau metropolis and the following has to be employed by both the two
contracting parties.
i.
As Muslims we strongly believe that the wealth
entirely belongs to Allah, and He gave it to which He wishes. Humans are only
appointed as trustees to manage, control and transact with it among themselves
with fairness, sincerity and justice. Therefore, it is very important to
operate by Allah’s rules and the general principles of Islamic transactions laid
down by the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Similarly, the works of Muslim Jurists on all aspects of Mu’amalat should strictly be followed.
ii.
KADECO officials in Gusau metropolis have to
work in line with the predefined rules and regulations enshrined by their
workplace, to avoid unnecessary grievances and grudges with their Muslim
customers.
iii.
Both parties should base their Mu’amalat (dealings) on the basic
teachings of Islamic law of transaction and interpersonal relations law as a means
of fostering good customer relationships.
iv.
Similarly, the principle of the contract
between the two parties should be transparent and based on the consent of all
without any hidden defects. And there should be full observance of justice and
fair dealing.
v.
Also there should be a performance improvement
plan to increase the hours of supply, better resolution of customer complaints
when there is a fault as well stable constant supply to meet the demand of
their customers within the metropolitan area.
vi.
There
should also be direct contact between the Muslim customers and the genuine and
recognized staff of the organization to avoid falling into the hands of third-party
traps, popularly known as NEPA 2 or Helpers.
vii.
Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company should
try and provide all the necessary materials and equipment needed for the repair
of faults at substation bases, network lines, injection substations etc.
viii.
Similarly, customers should fear Allah (S.W.T)
in all their dealings and be paying their bills promptly as it is when due.
ix.
People should fear Allah (S.W.T) and avoid all
illicit acts related to electricity theft, meter bypass, underground
electricity theft, and other forms of electricity vandalisation.
Conclusion
The
above discussion was based solely on the Islamic concept of Mu’amalat and its application in the
relationship between the KAEDCO staff and the Muslim customers in the Gusau
metropolis. Therefore, the KAEDCO officials should fear the Almighty Allah to
provide all the necessary materials and equipment needed for technical
maintenance, increase the hours of supply, attain the customer’s complaints and
also install meters to measure the hours of supply consumed by the individual
consumers. They should also work by the pre-defined rules and regulations
regarding their workplace. Similarly, Muslim customers in Gusau metropolis
should fear Allah (S.W.T) in all their dealings with the KAEDCO and also be
paying their electricity bills promptly as it is when due. Nonetheless, they
should fear Allah (S.W.T) to avoid all illicit acts related to electricity
theft, meter bypass, underground electricity theft, illegal looping and all
other forms of electricity vandalisation.
