DEMONgoneCRAZY

Pakistan has been subjugated to the Western way of ruling, since her birth, in the name of Islamic Democracy. Regrettably, some Muslims feel proud to relate democracy with the ruling style of Hazrat Umar (R.A) and other Caliphs of Islam. The origination of Democracy has to be cognized so as to comprehend it profoundly. th Democracy emanated from the creed of the vague compromise solution, in the midst of 18 century, brought about by the struggle between the kings and emperors of Europe and Russia and the philosophers and thinkers. Since the kings and emperors were using religion as a means to exploit the peoples, oppress them and spill their blood under the claim that they are Gods representatives on earth by using the priests as a cover. Eventually, a terrible conflict broke out between them and their peoples. During which the philosophers and thinkers rose. Some of them rejected religion altogether and some of them recognised it, whilst others called for its separation from life and consequently from the state (ruling). This conflict resulted in the idea of the compromise solution, the idea of separating religion from life i.e. the separation of religion from state. It then became imperative for the people to select their system of life themselves, and to establish the rulers who rule them with these systems and laws. This is the way that the democratic system originated. As a result of the success of the revolutions against the emperors and kings and the demise of the idea of the divine right, the two ideas of sovereignty is for the people and the people are the source of authorities were laid down for implementation and execution. Democracy is the rule of the majority. Thus the members of the legislative body are chosen by the majority votes of the people who have voted & the election of the rulers via their elected representatives. That is why the majority is the prominent feature of the democratic system. The view of the majority is thus the true measure that expresses the view of the people (according to the democratic viewpoint). The general freedoms are the foundations and Democracy obliges that they are provided for every individual of the community in order to realize his sovereignty, exercise his will. Their general freedoms are represented in four, which are Freedom of belief, speech, ownership & Personal freedom. Democracy, in its true meaning, is an imaginary and inapplicable idea. In the ancient democratic countries, like America and Britain, the heads of state and MPs represent the will of the capitalists from the businessmen and big landowners, not that of the people or their majority. The big capitalists are the ones who bring to power or into the representative assemblies. They are the ones who pay for the costs of the election campaign for the post of head of state and the membership of parliament. As a result, they (capitalists) have control over the head of state and the members of parliament. Wall Street's top investment bank Gold Sachs was a generous contributor which donated $994,795 during 2007-2008 to Obama's presidential campaign and it is self-explanatory that a company doesnt invest in vain. Moreover, it is obvious that if a person spending millions in his election campaign of his own; his ultimate purpose will be acquiring at least double of it when he comes into the power, rather than to legislate in the favor of people, since he has a complete authority to make laws as per his will. This is the reason why we see number of sugar mills & huge property difference before and after his reign and loads of unnecessary taxes as much as he desires. Therefore, the view that parliament in the democratic countries represents the opinion of the majority and that they rule by what the majority of the people want, is a view that is contrary to the truth, and it is but a deception. The source from which democracy came is man. The sovereign in democracy which determines the things as pretty or ugly is the mind and the origin of this is the philosophers and thinkers of Europe. It has to be admitted that Human Mind is limited and is always under the influence of circumstances, time & era and thus remains in a conflict. Therefore Human Mind is not capable to legislate for the whole mankind, if he does, then it mustnt be flawless. Consequently we see many foolish man-made laws in the world which has only favored the rulers or brought detriment to the peoples. For example, Article 248-b of 1973 Constitution provides immunity to the ruler to be answerable to any court during his term of office, which puts an end to the obligation of accountability of a ruler and a rule of Kam Bachey Khushhaal Gharana has led to less labor and manpower in Russia and Japan, which is being implemented in Pakistan too, etc. and the list goes on. Allah (S.W.T) is the Creator & He is best aware about the Beneficial or Catastrophic or Halaal or Haraam. As for Islam, sovereignty is for the Sharia and not for the Ummah. Thus Allah is the only Legislator; even the most intellectual and pious person or the whole Ummah, does not possess the right to legislate even a single rule. If all the Muslims met and agreed to permit usury so as to revive the economic situation or if they agreed to allow special places for fornication so that it does not spread among the people. This agreement of the Ummah would have no value, in the sight of Islam, even to the wing of mosquito. Thus it is not allowed for them to legislate even a single rule. Therefore, Allah is the only Legislator. There are definite Verses and Ahadeeth which clarify that sovereignty is for the Sharia, and that Allah is the legislator, that it is not allowed for man to legislate.

Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which has been sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges) while they have been ordered to reject them? [TMQ: An-Nisa: 60] Other verses are An-Nisa:65,59, Al-Maida:47-50, Yousuf:67, Al-Ahzab:36 etc. The general freedoms (as discussed above) in their four categories are not present in Islam. A Muslim is bound in all his actions by the Sharia rules and he is not free in any action. One of the severest afflictions brought to humanity is the idea of general freedoms initiated by the democratic system. This idea caused nothing but disaster for mankind and societal decadence in democratic countries to a level lower than that of the animals. Allah (S.W.T) says in the Glorious Quran: Have you (O Muhammad) seen him who has taken as his ilah (god) his own desire? Would you then be a disposer of his affairs over him? Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are even farther astray from the Path. [TMQ: Al-Furqan: 43] Freedom of belief in the democratic system means that man has the right to believe in the creed he wishes and he has the right to leave his creed and religion and move to another new creed and religion, or to no religion at all. Islam forbids the Muslim from leaving the creed of Islam, the one who apostatizes from Islam is asked to repent; if he returns he will remain in Islam and if he does not repent his wealth is confiscated and he is separated from his wife, then he is killed. Freedom of expression in the democratic system means that the individual has the right to carry any opinion or thought, whatever this opinion or thought may be, whereas the Muslim is bound in all his sayings by the Sharia. He is not allowed to make any statement unless the Sharia has allowed that. Islam obliges that the truth is spoken at all times. Freedom of ownership in the democratic system - which is the freedom that resulted in the capitalist economic system and consequently created the idea of colonizing people, plundering their wealth and looting their resources, means that man is firstly permitted to possess wealth and then to increase it using any means (encroachment of those countries who claim to be flag-bearers of democracy into the under-developed countries is the best example). Islam contradicts this freedom as it fights the idea of colonizing people and plundering their resources and seizing their wealth, just as it fights the idea of usury. Islam has defined the means of ownership of wealth, the means of its growth and the manner in which it can be spent, and it prohibited all other means. Personal freedom in the democratic system is the freedom, which has led Western societies to become animalistic societies, which decided that it is the right of man to conduct his personal life in the form he pleases, with absolute freedom without any limit, restriction & compulsion. Due to which we see disastrous outcomes in the western society, it has lost the sense of affection between blood relations, single parent idea due to numerous divorces, old homes for parents, limitless rape cases, and the list goes on. The rules of Islam completely contradict with this personal freedom. The Muslim is restricted by the orders and prohibitions of Allah in all his actions. If he were to commit any such prohibited actions he would be sinful. Therefore Islam is not that flexible that we start relating it with this sinister way of ruling (democracy) th which was originated in 18 Century. Hence using the word Islamic Democracy is as absurd as saying Islamic Wine. Since we all accept that Islam is the complete code of life, it has its own way of ruling called Caliphate which is indeed a perfect system for Humankind having complete guidance of social, economic, judicial, educational and political system. This is the reason why Caliphate persisted for about 1300 years as a single super power on the surface of earth. Therefore, Democracy, can now be defined as a rule in which sovereignty belongs to the MAJORITY OF THE JERKS sitting in the HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT whose ultimate objective is to rule as per their desire, and afterwards, take care of the INHUMAN FREEDOMS of the peoples which strictly contradicts with the rules of Islam, in the source from which it came, in the creed from which it emanated, in the basis on which it is established and in the thoughts and systems it has brought.
