RULING ON VOTING & DEMOCRACY
(Question and answer with Sheikh Muhammad Ali Jabata (Hafidhohulah) )


*Question: what prohibited us from voting? What's the ruling of those that are voting and what's their status after death*

Answer: Voting is kufr (disbelieve). That's not how we chose leaders in Islam particular in the time of our Prophet and his companions. This voting is under democracy which in turn is kufr (disbelieve). Someone that's voting is voting for the following: that Democracy is good, that one can be a Christian or Jew i.e. Muslims and kufar (disbelievers) are same which means Islam and others are one, that women can do Zina (fornication/adultery), that women can become Governor, Minister or President etc. The aslu (foundation) of Democracy is undoubtedly kufr (disbelieve). It's in the Hadith (narrations) of out Prophet that whoever seek for a position, Allah would not aid him on it. And what uphold Democracy is this voting. Beside, voting is an act of kurooj (rebelling) against leaders by removing them through kufr. Whoever is voting would be a kafir after shuroots (stipulated conditions in Islam) and will enter hell if he die on it. Henceforth, we should all abstain from voting and democracy.

*Elections and Voting*

Questionier:
🎤📼 *O noble Sheikh, May Allah give you success. Is it permissible to participate in elections and voting that are based upon democracy and man-made laws?*

Sheikh Saalih bin Fawzaan bin Abdullahi Al-Fawzaan

🎤📼 _This is not from the action of the Muslims._

_The action of the Muslims is for the scholars firm in knowledge to give pledge of alliance to the one who is suitable to be the leader and by this he becomes the leader._

_And the people follow their decision: the people follow the decision of the scholars who are firm in knowledge, from the scholars and judges(according to kitabu Allah wasunna)._

_It is not a must that everyone has to vote_

_This is the system of the west, not the system of Islaam_

*DEMOCRACY IS KUFRU*



Say: It is when the people govern themselves by themselves without a (revealed) Book or Sunnah.

Basic Principles on the Subjects of Tawheed, Fiqh and 'Aqeedah

*What is ITS hukmu ruling?*

Say: It is major Shirk (polytheism).
The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ

"Verily, the rule belongs to none but Allaah."
Surah Yoosuf: 40
And He says:
وَلا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَداً

"And no one shares in His Rule."
Surah Al-Kahf: 26

*What is the reality of elections?*

Say: It is from the democratic systems that seek to wipe away Allaah’s true Laws. It is also an imitation of the disbelievers, and it is not permissible to imitate them. There are many dangers that can be found in elections and not one single benefit or advantage for the Muslims. From the most significant of its dangers is that it makes an equal balance between the truth and falsehood as well as the truthful one and the false one, all in accordance to what the majority holds. It also neglects loyalty and disloyalty (for the sake of Allaah). It also tears apart the unity of the Muslims and instead places enmity, hatred, partisanship and fanaticism between them, not to mention fraud, deception, trickery, dishonesty, wastage of time and wealth, the elimination of women’s chastity, and an unstable trust in the Islamic sciences and its people.

Basic Principles on the Subjects of Tawheed, Fiqh and 'Aqeedah.

This is what the munaafiqeen are calling you to, they want you to be the allies of shaytaan (their master).

Repent and return to the camp of Allah or you wait to be repented and return to Allaah without any good deeds.

The 10 Principles Of Democracy
-----------------------------------------------------

■1- Authority of making laws for the people.

Almighty Allah said:مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

"Legislation is not but for Allah." Quran 12:40

■2- Freedom of religion and belief.

Messenger of Allah said:
“He who changes his religion (i.e. apostates) kill him.” Al-Bukhari.

■3- Reference for the people in time of conflict and disagreement.

Almighty Allah said:يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

"And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day." Quran 4:59

■4- Freedom of expression.

Even if by mocking Prophets and Messengers and even by insulting Allah's essence . And this act is considered in the religion of Islam to be apostasy, the one who done this must be killed without repentance.

■5- Separation of the religion from the state

Almighty Allah said:👉يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِى ٱللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُۥٓ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ يُجَٰهِدُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَآئِمٍ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

"And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers" Quran 5:44

0■6- Individuals' personal freedom.

Even with same-sex mate..

SOME OF THE STATEMENTS OF THE AHLUL-‘ILM (PEOPLE OF KNOWLEDGE) ON ELECTIONS/DEMOCRACY

Statement of ash-Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah)

ash-Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) mentioned in one of his books:

“Democracy is Kufr (disbelief). It is disbelieving in the Deen, that which is apostation. And this is something that is in the midst of the Islaamic nation, no one knows about it and understands it, except those who Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) has provided with beneficial knowledge, those who understood the apostation which the Prophet ( ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﷲا ﻰﻠﺻ ﻢﻠﺳو) mentioned in regards to it that: ((Whoever changes his religion, then kill him)). And if the Muslims were to establish the punishment of apostation, this clear Kufr would die down and would not be seen in the Muslim communities.

And democracy, its meaning is the ruling of the people by the people, and this is considered Kufr. And whoever calls to democracy, and he knows its meaning, then he is a disbeliever. This is because he calls to making the people partners along with Allaah, and our Lord has said:
So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord. (Al-Kahf 18:110)

And He has said:

Say (O Muhammad (ﻢﻠﺳو ﻪﻴﻠﻋ ﷲا ﻰﻠﺻ)): "I invoke only my Lord (Allaah Alone), and I associate none as partners along with Him." (Al-Jinn 72:20)

The disbelief found in democracy, which makes us partners along with Allaah …[up until the Shaykh said] Do you know what the meaning of democracy is? It’s meaning is elections, on any issue. You can even make an election in some of the disbelieving countries on the topic of homosexuality, and if the majority say that it is allowed, then the country affirms it and establishes it.

And the radio stations have begun to boast about democracy, so it is upon us to be firm upon our Religion, for verily this issue is very serious and hazardous, and it is clear Kufr. And the statement of Allaah:

Or have they partners with Allaah (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion which Allaah has not allowed. (Ash-Shooraa 42:21)

And in democracy is destruction of the people, and the destruction of their Deen and the destruction of the world.

And under this system, your wife can go to the different areas of play, and she can leave without your permission, and she can commit fornication, and you have no power over her.

And many people have been fooled by democracy, believing that the people of democracy are calling to “justice” and to “freedom,” but their freedom is embarrassing and their justice is not justice, verily it is wrongdoing and it is transgressing, and breaking up of justice.

SOME OF THE STATEMENTS OF THE AHLUL-BID’AH (PEOPLE OF INNOVATION)

Some of the Ahlul-Bid’ah divide democracy into two categories: 1) Democracy of disbelief, which takes a person outside of the fold of al-Islaam and 2) Islaamic democracy, which does not take a person outside of the fold of al-Islaam.

And from the people who say this is ‘Abdul-Majeed az-Zindaanee, who is from the major leaders of al-Ikhwaan al-Mufliseen in Yemen, and is head of Jam’iyyah al-‘Eemaan, which is in San’aa, and ash-Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullaah) has called this the “University of the Blind.”

Statement of ‘Abdul-Majeed az-Zindaanee

“The first category of democracy is the democracy of disbelief. And it is the ruling of the people by the people, and this is clear disbelief. And the second category is the picking from the people of their rulers, and this is a legitimate category and is Islaamic.”

Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee (rahimahullaah) in his book [The Reality of Democracy], refuted this by saying:

“Belief in secularism and democracy and other than them from the new ideologies oppose belief in Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) and do not come together in the heart of a Believing person. There is no escape from the fact that one of them, either belief in Allaah or belief in these systems enter into the hearts, both of them do not enter the heart together nor do they leave together, rather one of them is in the heart or the other.”

A Clarification: Picking of the rulers in Islaam is done by legal Islaamic Shoorah, and there are various principles surrounding this. And these are from the ambiguous affairs that al-Ikhwaan al-Muflisoon have passed upon the people, fooling them into believing that democracy is alright.

Ash-Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said refuting this saying:

“Is it allowable for us to have Islaamic disbelief?”

So, saying “Islaamic democracy” is the same as saying “Islaamic Kufr.”

Statement of Yoosuf al-Qaradaawee

And Yoosuf al-Qaradaawee is also the major leaders of al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen today.

This one said in June of 2004, during Khutbatul-Jumu’ah, and this was mentioned on the Internet:


“And some of them say that democracy is not from Islaam, and some of them say that verily democracy is Kufr, as for me, I say: Democracy is from the spirit of Islaam and from its teachings.”

And this one said in his book, [Qaradaawee: In the Scales]:

“Verily the best of parties is the liberal democratic party in my opinion. This is because from the political aspect, they are the representation in establishing a residence of people that are able to pick their representatives, which comprise of authority and power for legislation in the parliament. And this group of people [i.e. the representatives] is only picked through the path of election, and general elections, so whoever wins the majority is in power, from the candidates who are the representatives of political parties, and other than the political parties. And this authority which has been picked is the one that controls legislation for the nation, and with it, it controls the overseeing of the execution of authority for the government.”

So in this one’s opinion, this is the best type of party, the liberal democratic party.

Statement of al-Ustaadh Haamid Aboo Naasir al-Murshid al-Mubtadi’

This Mubtadi’ (innovator) is the General Guidance Counselor of al-Ikhwaan al-Mufliseen. And he said in one his books:

“We want democracy in its entirety and wholeness.”

Statement of Hisaam al-Uryaan al-Mubtadi’

“Why do we certify and continue to say that Islaam is against democracy? Verily, this is a great lie! For verily, we are the first ones to call to democracy and practice it, and we defend it until death.”

And it is clear from these statements the extreme misguidance of some of these people and their statements.

Don't jeopardize your paradise for these kufar and criminals.

Leave them to their nonsense

Someone should get this across to tinubu and his Urchins.
