State of Madina and the Salaries of their Employees
(May the feelings of our hearts be realized) Hazrat Omer R.A, the third caliph of the state of Madina, received a salary from the treasury as low as an ordinary laborer. Even though he was the caliph, he kept stones tied on his stomach all day. And first, when the salary of an ordinary laborer was increased to a certain level, then the caliph agreed to increase the salary of a caliph accordingly.
