ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY
------------------------------------

Islam And Democracy Are Inseparable!

Be informed that the freedom, peace, democracy and political, social, and economical justice are fundamental values in GOD'S message.

In spite of their most vital benefits to everyone, unfortuantely, these values have been greatly compromised and abused by mane kind all through history.... Why?

Because man repeatedly chooses to Ignore HIS duty to reverence GOD and repent from his wrong ways of arrogance, crookedness, carelessness, and greed. By doing so, he leaves himself wide open and very vulnerable to the influence of Satan and his allies that will surely lead him deeper and deeper into evil, falsehood and corruption.

Life is democratic by nature... how?

You see, we humans, generally get what we collectively deserve, when we chose to be responsible enough regarding the values mentioned above, then we educate ourselves about them, uphold them and abide by them and we will produce and chose good people to lead us and we will all benefit.

But, if we chose to be arrogance, crooked, and careless, we will be selfish, and will deceive ourselves in self-indulgence, neglect and disregard such values and we will be ignorant of their nature and we will produce and chose evil people who will use us and abuse us beyond our wildest imaginations.

Democracy does not always insure the best results but according to GOD"S Sunnah (the natural law and logic) it is the best available option to man kind.

At least according to the real and genuine democratic system, when things go well, then everyone will benefit, and when things go wrong, then the majority of the people have no to blame but themselves and the rest can tell them, WE TOLD YOU SO.

Having said that, it is according to GOD'S system and the human nature (the way humans function), they can not be forced, GOD almighty have honored the human-being more than any other creature by creating him in a much more advanced way and by providing him with HIS OWN SOUL, and by providing him life, considerably much more freedom, and much more intelligence.

The human freedom is sacred, and based on these qualities and freedom he is being tested.

So you see, ultimately it is personal between every human and the GOD, and every single one of us will return to HIM and will be judged by HIM.

Please check the verses

[2:256] There is NO compulsion in religion: The right way has been made to stands out clear from wrong way: whoever rejects evil and believes in GOD has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. GOD hear and knows all things

[18:29] And Say: "The truth is from your Lord, so let whomever desires believe, and whomever desires reject." We have prepared for the wicked a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they cry out, they are given a water like boiling oil which burns their faces. What a miserable place!

Even the most vital issue of religion, it is a matter of free choice

[16:94] And had GOD desired, HE would have made you one nation, but HE misguides who desire and HE guides who desire . And you will be asked about what you used to do.

GOD has a soul, we have a soul.

HE has freedom, we have freedom.

HE has intelligence, we have intelligence.

HE has a desire and we have a desire.

It is according to HIS will and HIS desire, that if we desire to go astray, then HIS desire to lead us astray, and if we desire HIS guidance, then HE will guidance, and that is the basic fundamental aspect of the TEST.

Look around you and see that very rarely you see someone being forced to do something wrong, surely they might be enticed, but most people make a conscious desire to do what they are doing, and when they are mislead, it is often becuase they allow others to mislead them by not being responsible enough to educate themselves.

So let us stop the blaming habit and be responsible of our GOD-given life, GOD-given freedom, GOD-given intelligence, and GOD-given will and desire... how can anyone be so arrogant, deceive himself and literally ruin himself by ignoring and neglecting his responsibility to all these things that will ultimately will determine his destiny and his function in life regarding everything including his own loved ones, freedom, peace, democracy, and justice.

As usual, traditional Islam severely compromise and abuse such a great values in the name of the one who is trying to save us by them!!

According to the populare traditional Islam, Islam and democracy are not compatible.

I hope that you realize and always keep in mind that freedom, peace, democracy, and justice are very much related, and inseparable by nature.

Now after establishing the fundamental values, concepts and principles, let us read together what the book says specifically about democracy (consultation) in an unequivocal terms.

The way I understand democracy is just another modern term for the basic meaning of consultation.

Even the messenger who is of supreme authority, unequaled knowledge and wisdom, the messenger of the sacred mission of mercy, truth, goodness and salvation is advised by GOD to consult with the believers in good manners WITHOUT compromising the truth obviously.

In the case of the messenger, people ultimately must abide by his decision, but he sets an example for them as how to best operate... even the messenger of GOD consults with people!

Islam and democracy is not only compatible, they are inseprable and here is the clear unequivocal proof:

3:160 It was a mercy from God that you were flexibly with them; had you been harsh and mean hearted, they would have dispersed from you; so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter; but when you are convinced, then put your trust in God; God loves those who trust.

Now here is the second unequivocal verse:

[42:38] And those who answered the call of their Lord, reach-out to HIM, and their affairs are conducted by mutual consultation, and from Our provisions to them they give.

Clearly, the above verse makes it clear that people should conduct all their affairs in mutual consultation.

You see, Islam can not be implemented without democracy, and there is NO real genuine democracy without Islam.

Islam And Democracy Are Inseparable!

When people start reverencing GOD and repenting from their evil wrongful ways, the will begin to gradually desire, deserve, and gain GOD's guidance, and when they do they will become more responsible of their duty regarding some of the most valuable and most vital matters in live such as freedom, peace, democracy, and justice.

Upholding and abiding by freedom, peace, democracy and justice are some of the very best methods of worshiping the almighty GOD.

If after all the mentioned above, especially the verses, you still think that there is no democracy in Islam and still think that the message of GOD and Islam can and should be imposed on people, then I sincerely and strongly advise you to reverence GOD and repent as soon as possible.
