Democracy Is Fundamentally Contradictory to Islam
From Al-MuhaajirounBy definition we find that democracy is in contradiction to Islam .... A persons Deen is what he/she believes in (Allah exclusively), and what he lives by (Khilafah and shariâah) and what he dies for, (Daâwah and Jihad). This means that if we are Muslims, the only deen acceptable for us is Islam, we believe in it, live by it and die for it. So there is no way for us to believe in democracy, nor live by it, nor fight to defend it. ... Democracy calls for so-called freedoms, * The freedom of Religion Freedom to worship whatever and whoever they wish, whether one god or many gods; whether they worship themselves, their desires, their money or their private parts. * The Freedom of Ownership Freedom to own whatever and however they like, whether selling his body or his wifeâs body it doesnât matter because he is free. * Personal Freedom To be free to eat, speak, wear and behave the way he likes etc. * Freedom of Expression Freedom to say what you like, to lie how you like, to slander, to insult, to swear, to curse however you like. However, this will inevitably causes chaos .... The people vote to decide what they think is the best law, then they count the votes and take the majority opinion, there is always confusion and disagreement, there is no black and white and is always grey areas. i.e. It is entirely based on compromise. Democracy is fundamentally contradictory to Islam, and is irreconcilably against the command of Allah. Allah ordered us to implement only and all of His (swt) commands and prohibitions, to rule and judge by whatever he revealed and to reject any and all opinions that the people may have, whether minority or majority. Allah (swt) said: âDo people want to follow the law of jahiliyyah (ignorance)? Who is a better legislator than Allah? If you believe.â [EMQ 5: 50] There is no doubt that Allah (swt), the one who created us and created the universe and everything in it, He is the best to know us and what is best for us. He (swt) is the best to decide what is right and wrong and we have no right to question him. Only the fool would leave His (swt) wisdom and guidance for our own ignorance and conjecture. ... It is impossible for us to refer to any law other that of Allah, in any dispute we must return to Allah and his laws for arbitration. .... This means that we must stay away from and reject all that is worshipped, followed or obeyed instead of Allah (swt), whether Satan, human, idols, law and order or a ruler, whether the law of the UK or the law of the UN; we must reject it, believe it is falsehood, hate and hold animosity towards it and call it disbelief or disbelievers. Allah (swt) said: âIt is not fitting for the believing men or the believing women, when Allah and His messenger decide a matter, that they should have any choice in the matter, and whosoever disobeys Allah and his messenger, they are in clear misguidance.â [33:36] When Allah (swt) uses âclear misguidanceâ in this and other ayat, it means Shirk (polytheism). So it is impossible for us to vote over what is right or wrong, or what is lawful or unlawful as this has already been decided by Allah (swt), and it is impossible for us to have a choice after that. ... So there is no room for discussion or preference in the law of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) said: âAllah is the one who legislates and judges, and nobody dares to comment on itâ [EMQ Raâd: 41] .... May Allah (swt) protect us from falling into the same hole as the Jews and Christians, who left Allah to follow their own desires, who twist and change the word of Allah to please eachother, even to legislate homosexuality after Allah prohibited it. Verily Democracy is a religion of disbelief; anybody who believes in it is a disbeliever, anybody who lives by and obeys its man-made law is Mushrik as he obeys and arbitrates to taghout, even though Allah (swt) ordered him to reject it, and anybody who fights to defend it, and kills and bombs others to force them into it and dies for the its sake can never die except as a kaafir, and will be punished after that forever and ever in the hellfire. ...
