Democracy is the political framework of the Capitalist thought, i.e. the ruling system that the Capitalist states and their like implement.Democracy, for those who embrace it, means that people rule themselves by themselves with the systems that they choose. Oftentimes, Capitalists refer to their system as "The Democratic System", but such a connotation is incorrect for more than one reason:Democracy was not innovated by the Capitalists but had been preceded by the Greeks. Moreover, they were not the only ones who implemented it; the Marxist-Socialists claimed that they were democrats and they consistently pretended that they implemented democracy.
The most important element of democracy is that it makes the human being and not the Creator as the legislator, which is logical for those who call for the detachment of religion from life because this detachment means to transfer the right to legislate from the Creator to the human being. The Capitalists, in this issue did not discuss whether the Creator has obliged man to follow a certain law and implement it in his life, nor did they even examine this issue at all, rather they appointed man as the legislator without any discussion.
For Muslims to adopt democracy means to disbelieve in all - may Allah _ forbid - the decisive and conclusive Evidences,among which are many Qur'anic verses which oblige them to follow the law of Allah _ and to reject any other law. Moreover, these erses consider any one of them who does not follow or mplement the law of Allah _ as either a Kaafir, a Zalim, or a Fasiq,
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are non-believers (Kaafiroon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 44]
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are oppressors (zalimoon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 45]
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are transgressors (fasiqoon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 47]
Thus, whoever does not rule by whatever Allah _ has revealed, denying Allah _'s right to legislate, as is the case with those who believe in democracy, is a Kaafir according to the explicit words of the Qur'an, because by doing so he is rejecting those decisive verses,and denying a conclusive text makes a person a Kaafir as the Muslim Fuqaha' agreed unanimously.
The Kaafiroon and their agents who rule the Muslim countries, as well as all those who call for democracy who are counted from among the Muslims, whether they are individuals or movements, realise that the basis for democracy is the rejection of the law of Allah _ and putting man in the place of the Creator. For this reason, they do not present democracy from this perspective, but instead claim that democracy means people ruling themselves by themselves, with equality and justice prevailing among the people, and the accountability of the ruler guaranteed.Although democracy explicitly implies the rejection of the laws of Allah and following the law of His _ creation, the advocates of democracy intentionally avoid addressing the issue of rejecting the law of Allah.
The remaining claims of democracy have no actual reality, the claim that people rule themselves by themselves is a major fallacy. In all Capitalist Democratic societies, people do not rule themselves by themselves, because this is a fanciful idea. In reality, people are ruled by a certain group of influential people, such as the prominent Capitalists in the United States and the aristocrats in England, which are two of the most deeply-rooted Capitalist Democratic countries. These influential groups in the Capitalist countries hold the necessary means to bring whoever they want into the government and legislative assemblies (parliaments) so that the laws which are passed and those charged with their implementation would be serving their interests.
Regarding what is claimed about equality, justice,and accountability of the rulers, these are all theoretical, without any compatibility with reality. It is enough for one to look to America, the leader of the democratic world, to find that equality, justice, and accountability are all selective, enjoyed and practiced by those who have a particular colour, religion, race, or financial wealth.The suffering faced by the blacks, Indians, those of Latin and Asian origins, those who are not Protestant, and those who are not from Western European backgrounds is evidence enough that what is claimed of democracy is - despite some exceptional cases - merely theory.Consequently, it is not allowed for a Muslim to accept democracy, because it is Kufr and gives man what is entitled exclusively for the Creator. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to reject it and to challenge all those who propagate it.
