A debate is currently taking place in the Muslim world on whether democracy is against Islam or not. With Islamic parties taking power in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt this debate has intensified as these parties attempt to justify their actions. In addition to this some people are actively promoting Erdogan's secular-democratic Turkish regime as a role model for governments post Arab spring.
Much of the debate on Islam and democracy is based on pragmatic thinking rather than the Islamic way of thinking. The correct approach to the question of whether democracy contradicts Islam or not is to study the reality of democracy in depth and then study the Islamic texts of Qur'an and Sunnah for an answer.
This book written on the 3rd Dhul-Qida 1410AH, 27th May 1990 by the late Sheikh Abdul Qadeem Zalloom (May Allah have mercy on him) follows such an approach and shows that democracy far from being a model for Muslims is in fact a system of kufr that is forbidden to adopt, implement or call for.

The most celebrated political system in the post-communism era seems to have an unanticipated end here. Also the end of a national business of selling democracy as a product for pseudo-imperialism by USA and her associates. An Era of ‘eat democracy, drink democracy.’ Though most of the time the ‘eating and drinking’ was not quiet liberated rather forced. For some obvious reasons, I judge Arab Uprisings as something different. Muslims have found the way to make change and what change they should actually call change. Again we know that Muslims are not complete conscious about restoring Islamic Political System and traitors still trying to deceive them in the same old manner. Yet their chants of Takbeer/Shahadah make us believe that these uprisings have an ultimate destination. The political crises in all Muslim countries are not different and Muslims are now close to a state-revolution which will establish the Huq (truth) and reject Batil (falsehood). Jazakallah for sharing the book in the perfect time ever. |
