Democracy is shirk. Allah is the only law maker and we are the slaves of Allah and followers of His Messenger pbuh. Thus we don't make laws by our own desires and what we feel is "right". Whoever thinks otherwise then he is a kafir or he doesn't know what tawhid means.
Islamists MUST believe the following: Women legally half of man, Marital rape is legal, the union between a man and a woman not sacred -man has many wives all legally obliged to have sex with him when he demands it, marrying and sleeping with children is allowed, women who are beaten and shamed deserve it. A woman is more likely to be stoned to death as an adultress than have the people who raped her brought to justice. Have you considered that maybe Muhammed wasn't telling the whole truth?..
This guy is ignorant. Democracy is superior to Islam. Let me show you how: Islam teaches that non-Muslims citizens should be treated as second class citizens while in democracy every citizen is equal; Islam legalizes slavery while democracy protects the rights of every citizen; Islam oppresses women while democracy gives their full freedom; Islam legalizes the beating of wives by their husbands while democracy does not. I can go on and on.
As you can see it, democracy is superior to Islam.
i have a personal question, what made you decide to become muslim. what basically lead you to islam. i just wanna know. i don't mean to sound consending or rude with my other comments. i respect your right to believe in what ever you choose. but i have over the years become an athiest and want to know why and how people choose to be religious: i.e i know some people do it to get benefiets, others do it to avoid misfortune.... mostly selfish reasons .
@ivanaeat What all humans have in common is intellect although @ varying levels. Nothing convinced me of lifes purpose except Islam. I was lost & couldnt see myself following the idiocy of the xtian doctrine etc... Even as a gang member I never got a tattoo for this very same reason. Although lost, I could not fully dedicate myself to losing.
Despite what haters have written about Islam, I studied it from its source & was convinced 100%.
i am really it got you away from gang life (which would only lead to an early death). i am do think many aspects of religion are good but overall i don't see the validity of religion and it seems that religion tries to oversimplify the vast complexities of life and the universe.
I find it very unlikely that democracy is considered unislamic. i also hate when people say that democracy is a man-made system hence it is prone to failure. this is oversimplifying the whole concept. even aspects of islamic are man made (from a believer's point of view) or completely man-made if you are looking from a non religious point of view. also it is wierd when i hear "ummah" as if over a billion people with varying ethnicities are suppose to all be governed by the same laws.
a ummah won't work, islam as a governing system won't work because you aren't allowed to criticize policy or even question any aspects of the system.
i don't have to have a clue to know that islamic view of society is a flawed on it is similar to the views of marxists who do not consider human greed and ignorance. you can't have an ummah when the arabs still call africans abeed (btw im not black). yeah i have seen arabs call blacks slaves here in america. when there isn't respect,
as i was saying, when there isn't respect, there can't be unity. btw its not only arabs who are racist towards so are south asians and south east asian muslims. they are even racist against eachother. so how do you aspect to have an ummah , who do not even respect each other, speak the same language, or even practice the same form of islam.
Yup, i totally agree with you on that...you see I'm trying to prove that democracy is not considered unislamic as well...it makes no sense. To me Islam is something that should be spiritual and apply to each individual as opposed to a whole society, at least in a singular form, like what you say about the ummah not applying to all. That's precisely why we don't live in 10 century babylon anymore, Sharia cannot be ENTIRELY applied to 21 century society. Religion cant = politics.
selfish religious leaders use islam as a means to push their agendas. islam/religion is bias and can't be the government of a country because then there will massive discrimination. when there is discrimination, a true democracy does not exist and the people at the top misuse their powers.
i feel bad for afghanistan because it is screwed up because of idiots and corrupt religious leaders like south asian countries except our ones claim to practice democracy.
Islam is a better Democracy than Western Democracy because it doesn't rely on the majority, it relies on individual choice. Prove me wrong at the above website..
Yes. It is called a Theacracy......You can have your way of life under Islam... but, this is the United States of America.... we do not follow Islamic Law, and our constitution does not allow for Sharia Law, or any other type of Government Sponsered Religion. If you want to live under those circumstances, i.e., kill jews, christians, beat your wife, your children, stone to death young girls, then please leave our democratic country and relocate to an islamic Facist state.
I'd like to point out that the only form of democracy you address in this video is representative democracy, which is not real democracy. "Anarchist", "consensus", "tribal" and "socialist" democracy are all the same thing - that is, direct democracy where the people directly elect not rulers over them (which would of course be haraam) but how society runs itself.
InshaAllah I'll make a video soon to completely explain what I mean. Allah ma ak.
@dawahworks Gradually but steadily, people are becoming aware of the true Islam that Arabic readers of the Koran have always know. Islam is a way of ‘conquest’, and the Koran instructs followers to tell ‘lies’ to non-followers in an effort to convert them, or kill them if they will not be converted.
Overall, Arab racist bigotry is the most underrated and abhorrent instrument in Islam, most notably in Africa.
@dawahworks To all the westernised blacks who think of Islam (Arab religion) as a trendier option to Christianity (White religion), take the time to look up how Arab Muslims treat indigenous/black Muslims in Africa, as inferior beings - to be raped, tortured, and murdered en mass.
If all modern religions were cast away just like those of Ra and Zeus into the pit of myths, it wouldn’t be too soon ...I’m NOT Just saying!!!
islam, religion tries to oversimplify issues with simple "solutions". it does not recognize many aspects of humanity such as ethnocentrism, greed and the nature of any living creature to favor its own survival over others. for this reason i think religion is just wishful thinking.
Thank you for your comments & views... Every political entity desires dominance. The difference with Islam is that Islam improves the political & social situation of every country it enters as a system. The true system of Islam has been absent for almost a century therefore there are no fair paralells we can draw today.
We seek Islams revival so that the world can (once again) witness justice.
The attachment of government to geographic borders is a very crude way to serve a society.
Islam, for example, would submit to different rules of judgement and law. There is conflict because current political systems are a geographic all-or-nothing game.
What if a free society were to emerge that allows Muslims in an area to be subject ot muslim law and muslim government, while those who choose another path can participate in a different set of laws. Coexisiting geographically.
A sovereign Islamic gov practicing its belief religiously & politically is against the wishes & agenda of cap./demo. gov. These serve to usurp the resources of other nations & restrict is inhabitants to servitude. Just as n Iraq wen a reporter askd 'If thru Demo elections, the ppl of Iraq choose Islam?" Paul Bremar's reply was "No! Islamic gov is OFF the table!"
There can be no co-existing. Islam must exist sovereign, not as a political concubine.
I speak of a better world, brother. I speak of the state freeing people to live and worship under the law that they find truth in. I speak of a time when people may join the Islamic Nation wherever they are on this beautiful earth, adhering to and being subject to its laws.
The little lines we draw on maps are convenient borders for vain men to divide the world, but borders do not divide us in spirit.
But this could coexist with other governments and encompass the globe.
No need to 'imagine'. recent history is sufficient to prove that the Islamic system is the only system that can produce harmony between men. If other systems exist at the same time they cannot occupy the same 'space". A society cannot exist within a society. Ultimately the prevailing system has the last say.
Lets focus on Islam akhee & not praise any politically drawn border. Muhammad (saw) started the dawah in his hometown of Makkah but Allah (swt) granted him Khilafah in Madinah. This means we should work where we are but trust Allah (swt) to fulfill his promise wherever He (awj) chooses.
That was not my intention..You are right...we should focus on Islam...but at the same time we should also identify & expose the enemies of Islam who are trying to stop Shariah movement...
I agree with you that we should keep Politics out of Islam...But the sad truth is that our enemies don't keep Islam out of Politics...
No No akhee... I do not believe n separating Islam & politics.
As-Siyasah (politics) means 2 organize the ppls affairs. & wat better way 2 organize them accept by the rule of Allah (swt)?
To separate politics & Islam is 2 say "I believe in salah but I don't believe it shuld b enforced..."I believe in hijab, but i don't believe it shuld b obligatory... OR "I believe that Allah (swt) is Lord alone, but He (swt) shuld hav nothing 2 do with life."
Asalaamu alaykum brother. I was wondering, what do you think about anarchy (the abolition of government and state), and do you think it could work well with Islam?
Yes, it very much is. I've been doing research on communism, anarchy, and pure communism (which is essentially a form of anarchy in which everyone provides for each other as needed), and I wanted to know what you think about it.
How would anarchy be a direct opposite form of government when anarchy by definition is the lack of government? Wouldn't it be easier to practice and spread Islam in an anarchy than in a democratic khafir state, and from anarchy, wouldn't it be easier to rebuild Al Khilafah?
Your question was: "...and do you think it could work well WITH Islam?"
No matter what form of government that exists prior, Islam, if propagated correctly, can become the dominant thought & eventually the dominant practice as a system.
Er...sorry...one more question. Do you think the abolition of the khafir government might be necessary in order to restore the Khilafah, and thus, Islam as a system of government?
Brother, wat is the answer tho? im a revert to Islam, and how about the Khilafa? Isnt an Islamic governent gna b good, and protect everyone even unbelievers as long as they pay their tax right? wat about Muslim Spain? it was the Christians in the end who were not able to live with others...
Dawah works i wonder if you actually sat down and studied Political science to any extent. Democracy has proven to be successful for so long because it allows people who have different view points and beliefs to express their views and coexist peacefully together. Alternative forms of govt.s usually end up being dictatorships or totalitarian govts. which doesn't allow political freedoms to their citizens or allow them to participate in the political process and develope a civil society.
Have you ever considered that it might be possible to create a constitutional democracy with a foundation in Islamic principles? Because this is exactly what Muhammad (saw) did at Medina. Check out the Consitution of Medina. It creates an "ummah" (the word used) of the Muslims, Jews, and Pagans(!!) at Medina, allowing for freedom of religion, cultural autonomy re: issues like blood-debt, unity w/ regard to war and treaties, and governance by self-counsel. Muhammad (saw) was so ahead of his time!
what ur saying is inposible and against islam becuz when something is from islam we are obligated or recomended to follow it, we are not allowed to choose or reject some from it. by saying to choose something or leave something then this is against the sharia, we need to except the whole quran and practise it and the whole sunna.
This is a very well-made video, but I could not disagree with you more on the subject matter. Rather that having a Qur'an quoting war, I'd like to know what sort of political system you would advocate for, and whether any examples of it exist. salam. Alhamdulilah thanks to freedom of speech we are permitted to have this debate.
Nature dictates that our actions are coupled with consequences. Believe as you wish. But to suggest that the heavens & earth or mishaps is insane. There is an intelligent designer & Designer.
Speaking of this nature... Life functions under 2 spheres: 1 we have no control over & the other we have some control over. If you jump from a building, gravity will dominate you. Your power is NOT to jump. Get it?
Objectively religion dies. Islam is no different, so why should we have to make allowences for it. It is not some imaginary sky man that governs the world around us, but man. God or at least the idea of god never changes, and rmeains trapped in old mythology, man changes over time in different circumstances and this is like is changing, we see this all around us, god or atleast the man made version of god however is nowhere to be found, so really why should we make allowences for these beleifs.
Question: Did man create himself or was he himself created? The search is 2 find the beginning. We kno the design is intelligent, but the guess work of the deniers is rather unintelligent & leads 2 the worship of other men. Worship has always existed since time & wil continue. This points 2 the fact that reverance, admiration, sactification, worship, etc is innate. Now we r directed 2 kno who is worthy of worship; The Creator or, the created. U r either a slave 2 Wat made man or wat man made.
Well yes this is true, worship will always exist, no denying that, but what makes a ogd worthy of worship. Is it the extent of it's power, or is it how he/she/it, wields their power, so yes I agree with you on that one.
THis is true. Islam is obviously created by man. So that is not worthy of worship. But what is a god without adherents, or created. Without us, he wouldn't be a creater, and allegedly without him, we wouldn't be created. But then The way he wields powewr if we are ment to fear him, how is he different frm the "devil". If he is just meant to satisfy us then he is really just a glorifried janitor. So really this so-called god isn't worthy either way.That is why I beleive that these religions die
Dont get so wrapped up in thinking that Allah (swt) is angry & evil. All of creation shows love & care. The management of man & the systems he chooses to live under is the crux of the matter.
Islam i far above a religion. Islam is a sytem of life that has proven to govern justly between men. Capitalist greed caused other men to plot & scheme until we reaped the fruits of this dubious labor.
Its called human nature. We can't help it. It was lack of government regulation that was also the problem, and many other things as well, you can't over simplify into thinking the mentality of "tit was the big bad and greedy infidels fault" greed happens in every society . Besides The man made version or atleast the Abrihamic one is a nutcase. He "loves" us, but if we step out of line or think for ourselves, we burn. is he all kind and merciful then? Besides islam is going to die, Ideologies do.
THe fallacies of these theories eventaully get realised and then people begin to question to the point that thier beleifs become nonsense. And then the religion fades away. It has happened before, it will happen again. Eventually every religion today will die, but then will be replaced with something else.
Allah (swt) has not blessed me with the patience to concentrate my dawah on such people. I find people like this "pushing" an agenda more so than seeking answers.
"So how can you be a leader of a functioning group of Muslims within a democratic society, and still claim that Islam and democracy can not co exist"
He meant in the same system. You can't have an Islamic Republic which runs on democracy. It just doesn't work. It's like trying to drive a car at the bottom of the ocean.
And how can you claim that Islam and democracy can not co exist? Look at your mesjid for crying out loud. Is it not in Texas? Is it not full of practicin Muslims which live their lives according to the principles of Islam? The answer is YES, mashallah! So how can you be a leader of a functioning group of Muslims within a democratic society, and still claim that Islam and democracy can not co exist. The claim does not hold water at all. I hate to say this, but you make us look bad sometimes.
How do you feel about laws not based on shar'ia, that are in fact man made laws? For example, stopping at a red light, social security laws,etc. These are laws that benefit everyone. You,me,a jew,a christian, an atheist we all follow certain laws passed to ensure the safety of the general public. You cannot be so exclusive when it comes to these so called democraticly passed laws. Some are bad, but some are good. There is a gray area
Great! You insult me and give not one answer to the questions I posed. I believe that it is your radical sources that need to change, and not my tolerance and appreciation for other human beings. Learn about the life of Muhammad s.a.w.s, but not that which your selefi or wehabbi brothers teach you, but rather examine it yourself. Read the Qur'an my brother. Only when you are in danger or oppressed you are to defend yourself and Islam. Insigating is for weak minded people.Feel free not to respond
As-salamu'alaykom, great vid Akhe! A dictatorship is much like a democracy. The people can at any time rise up and overthrow the dictator. It might be argued that a democracy is less bloody, but in light of the violence the US had exported in recent years one has to wonder. The US is not a democracy but rather a plutocracy. A 2 headed monster that fights itself and can not kill itself because its supported by the same economy and lobby groups.
"Best" by default is not best at all. Democracies are constantly at war to boost their economies & justify their hegemony. Your argument that "democracies don't go to war with each other" is akin to fanciful philosophies... You either rule as we want you to or we will bomb you unmercifully. Is this your path to peace? I pray that you are not Muslim now & become Muslim later. May Allah (swt) guide you.
Making improvements in "social justice" after you have enslaved & suppressed & dehumanized a people for years should not be viewed as "improvements". It should be viewed as revealing of your flaws.
Women couldn't vote, Blacks were worth less than whites, & witches were burned alive for accusations.
A Judicial system where 12 jurors that did not witness the crime to rule on guilt or innocence is far from "best".
how can you determine what is just or unjust. for all your criticisms of democracy, you ignore the fact that democracy is the most successful system of govt today. they protect civil rights and human rights better then other forms of govt and they generally have higher standards of living then non democracies. plus democracies don't go to war with each other. Therefore the spread of democracy will help spread world peace.
why does not man have the right to legislate? Man have made much improvements in social justice, and much of it can be seen in the very america that most hate. America has one of the best if not the best judicial systems in the world. Much of that has been done due to the efforts of man.
i'm going to subtitle this into German, if you give me OK; There are too much people who call themself muslim, but don't accept that only Allah is the ONE who can give hukm. So this video explains it in a nice and qualitative way... barakallahufeek
Assalamualaikum saadlmam the skit on the militart general is halarious.I was dyin laughin when I saw it.I appreciate all of your videos.You always spaek the haqq and tell it like it is
i have to ask what role of secular muslims in an islamic state? And how do you deal with dissent and how whate role does civil liberties and a civil society play in an islamic state? Also what are the political and civil rights of dhimmis in an islamic state?
Problem is, there is no one of the calibre of the Sahaba to lead such an islamic state and any current movements towards "islamic" governance have led to dictator like regimes... "I'm just sayin..."
Every regime you witness is a concoction of NON-Islamic entities (eg. The West). Many exist to lead the State. You just dont know them because they dont show them on TV like they show your favorite Scholars that sit silent at the foot of those very dictators. IJS
Pakistan is not at all "Islamic" (just a bunch of Muslims) & they are democratic for sure. In this video i list the different "types" of Democracy....
you should really study democratic theory before you start attacking it. it's more then just man made laws vs gods law.Democracy is rooted in the principals of rights and freedoms. i personally believe islam and democracy can coexist. i suggest that you read ON DEMOCRACY by Robert Dahl and THE PRINCIPALS OF STATE AND GOVERMENT IN ISLAM by Muhammad Asad. These books will give you an idea of how democracy and islam can work together.
So you suggest that i corrupt sure what Allah (swt) has guided me to understand & embrace by studying "kufr" (Democracy) from some people that have convinced you that Allah (swt) is not the only sovereign?? No matter how many books you suggest NONE can top Al Quran Ul Kareem wa Sunnat Ul Rasoolullah (saw). O, by the way... I'm just saying, " Laa Ilaha Illa Allah wa Muhammadan Rasoolahu."
What institution or people would keep this "Islamic" government from becoming corrupt and only a facade of Islam in order to maintain power? Can you answer this with certainty or are you only at the conceptual level of political development?
What about five generations or ten generations or 100 hundred generations after the re-establishment? What is the means that would keep one of these generations from experimenting with other political or philosophical systems?
My fear is that if the media is regulated and freedom of association is suppressed under the justification of maintaining Islamic morality and if the government deviates and deviates at the speed it suppresses all opposition to its deviation then nobody including the government would know it deviated, because all opposition would be suppressed.
are you describing democracy?.where the greedy elite corporations control the government and the media and two party system and play "good cop bad cop" on peoples minds.
Asalaam alaikum, wonderful video bro, i can understand you point of view, but sadly i don't see any idea islamic goverments in this day and age, but InshaAllah we can strive for this.
*sigh* why is it always these Muslims living in western democracies telling us how much better Islam would be for us? It's like they think we don't see the other 57 corrupt backwards Muslim majority nations where people are desperately leaving in droves to come to the west. Islam just doesn't work. You people can't even agree on it let alone implement it properly.
If someone is gonna perform surgery with just a knife and not a scalpel or other important surgical tools than he might aswell be murdering the patient. Blaming the west for Islams failure just doesn't work when not all these places are dictatorships and you have corrupt nations like Iran who oppose western powers.
Islam has never failed. The Muslims have failed Islam by allowing the west to colonize our lands & establish puppet rulers there in succession. From Sadaam (may Allah forgive him) to the filthy saudi monarchy (may Allah uproot them) to the Taliban (may Allah aid them) to the Zionist of Israel, the west has established the entities in Muslim lands to destabilize the region... hence the default.
Yes and I'm sure the west is also responsible for the many different Islamic sects and schools of thought that also keep Muslims at odds with each other. Funny how Gods third instruction manual requires additional text and individuals to interpret it for the masses.
Now please continue praying for sell outs, murderers, and tyrants who claim to share the same religion as you while ignoring the obvious.
Schools of thought (madhahab) are a sign of strength, not division. Of course you wouldn't understand this. Sects however, are part of a divisional plot orchestrated by many characters. & don't pray for you people except for your guidance.
In Islam sovereignity belongs to God and Democracy soveriegnity belongs to people but they did not create anything to claim sovereugnity. God is the one who created everything so he is the sovereign Lord. He has all the right to deman what we should do or not to do. Disbelivers have no ight to demand anything but they can live anyway they want but they can't demand Muslims to follow their way of life.
I'm cool with you not liking democracy and capitalism...please move to a country that shares that view, I hear Saudi Arabia is lovely this time of year.
I'm cool with you not liking democracy and capitalism...please move to a country that shares that view, I hear Saudi Arabia is lovely this time of year.
This is what you have got, so call freedom of speech. You are an intolerant bigot.
It is not intolerant to tell someone that if they do not like democracy, they should go to a place which is not democratic. I'm fine with you not liking democracy, but you have no right to deny the rest of us its benefits. If democracy bothers you so much, why do you remain in the West?
It is not intolerant to tell someone that if they do not like democracy,
We Muslims are not forcing Islam down the throat of anyone, we are just telling people that their purpose in this wold is different but you are trying to force Democracy down our throat; part of that program is war on terror.
Democracy has nothing to do with choosing leaders. Democracy has to do with from where the laws that govern a society will emanate. There is also no "choosing" on Muslim leaders of countries. The Islamic leadership is central & singular. & all other assistants are selected by this Khalifah.
I understand the governing laws part, but I need more clarification on what you mean by muslim leaders. I understand no proper Islamic state is in place in the world, but if one were to be newly created, where would the representaion/leadership(not regarding the law/system, but other affairs i.e. international relations) be placed, and whom would decide the appropriate candidate?
The qualifications from Quran & Sunnah are Muslim, Male, Mature, Sane, Free (non-slave). The re-establishment of the Islamic State won't happen all at once. It will happen in a certain area initially. It will be for those people there to assemble candidates for consideration. The method is thru Bay'ah (allegiance) to follow said individual in all matters except haram.
Surah 5:51 "Take not the jews and christians as friends." Surah9:5 " Slay the idolators( non muslims???)where ever you find them,besiege them,and prepare for them every ambush." Surah9:29 "Fight those who do not believe in Allah" May I ask where is the tolerence and peace and love for humanity?
In 5:51 the word is "Awliyyah" which is One Who Conducts Your Affairs. "Friend" would be a weaker understanding in this context. 9:5 was addressing a direct incident in our history where the idolaters formed an alliance to attack us at every turn We in turn were ordered to fight hard & fierce until they ceased hostilities. Same surah 9:29 is making it clear who the hostile forces were.
Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of Injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty, Absurdities, discrimination, Contradictions, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
More Muslim propaganda to show how peaceful this religion is that still executes people by public beheadings, hangings, stonings, etc. and demands the execution (by law) of people who convert away from isalm. Put aside the worship of a mythical god, this religion is archaic and barbaric. They are all brainwashed.
What is it called when people watch others take lethal poison into the body or get electrocuted? Nevertheless as always the most mis-informed talk the most.
This is very difficult for me to follow. I'm not quite sure what you're saying.
Islam - Dictated by fathers, prophets and political leaders. Law dictated by faith.
West - Lead by the elected. All people are equal, all people have the choice to live how they want. All laws are created from reason and understanding.
Democracy and Islam are contradictory terms. The goal of Islam is Sharia law, the implementation of the Quran as the law of the land. What you see in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan is the Moslem global vision. The idea we express in a democracy, "I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" is not understood in Islam. There is no right to dissent. There are 16 Moslem nations in the Middle East; not one of them is Democracy.
Over & over I encourage you people to study... Saudi & Iran, etc... are products of Western nations. USA call Turkey democratic but it remains one of the most "anti-citizen" nations on earth. No where does islam rule today. Get it in your head.
Laright i have some questions for you. 1) What would you as a Muslim do if the majority of people in your country do not accept the shariah? Would you be ready to use some sort of violence? 2) There is ambiguity in any language inc. Arabic so many verses, een those containing statements of law, in the Quran and hadith can be interpreted differently by different people. Whos to decide which interpretation is the right one?...
There has always been & will always be Non-Muslims within our Islamic State. They truly did & will prosper under shariah law. Only a very limited area in Islam that is open to interpretation of scholars. The Opinion supported w/ the strongest evidence is accepted.
Ok so when would a khalifa be elected at all? When the Muslims have enough millitary power OR when most people in the country would accept a Khalifat? Reharding the aread of interpretation they may appear to be limited to some whilst not so to others. Regarding evidence, we need to know what you would consider as evidence. According to the scientific community it's converging support of a hypothesis/theory from INEDPENDENT sources of inquiry...
... And if you do accept that kinna evidence then again technically it's people deciding/confirming. But we must also remember that what amybe evience to some is not so to another and one cannot force it on anyone being a minority.
...3) Lets say the Khalifah decides it beacuse he is an "expert" int he field. NOW who is to decide whether he is really an expert if not the majority of the people of the land and thus accept his interpretation? Last but not least it would still be HIS, THE KAHLIFAHS INTERPRETATION OF BOTH QURAN AND HADITH so how can you claim it is directly from Allah? Does Allah come down and whisper things into the khalifahs ears?
oh and 4) Who would elect the Khalifah? If not the majority of people in the country then who would appoint those who would elect the Khalifah ? If not the majority of people either then who...? 5) In any case dont you see we technically have people deciding all along?
Islam is for humanity. Not for angels. Shariah is the directions for travel through this life to arrive at a pleasant destination in the next. There are several ways to process the election of a khalifah. i dont think they are relevant for you here as I have observed your line of questioning.
No they are EXTREMELY RELEVANT because from that we would know whether its a minority group enforcing its views on the majority or by actually gaining the acceptance of the majority of people in the state, they(the majority) elect and thereby accept the Khalifah.
Democracy is shirk. Allah is the only law maker and we are the slaves of Allah and followers of His Messenger pbuh. Thus we don't make laws by our own desires and what we feel is "right". Whoever thinks otherwise then he is a kafir or he doesn't know what tawhid means.

Islamists MUST believe the following: Women legally half of man, Marital rape is legal, the union between a man and a woman not sacred -man has many wives all legally obliged to have sex with him when he demands it, marrying and sleeping with children is allowed, women who are beaten and shamed deserve it. A woman is more likely to be stoned to death as an adultress than have the people who raped her brought to justice. Have you considered that maybe Muhammed wasn't telling the whole truth?..

Democracy = peaceful, progress, freedom, equality, and beautiful.

This guy is ignorant. Democracy is superior to Islam. Let me show you how: Islam teaches that non-Muslims citizens should be treated as second class citizens while in democracy every citizen is equal; Islam legalizes slavery while democracy protects the rights of every citizen; Islam oppresses women while democracy gives their full freedom; Islam legalizes the beating of wives by their husbands while democracy does not. I can go on and on.

i have a personal question, what made you decide to become muslim. what basically lead you to islam. i just wanna know. i don't mean to sound consending or rude with my other comments. i respect your right to believe in what ever you choose. but i have over the years become an athiest and want to know why and how people choose to be religious: i.e i know some people do it to get benefiets, others do it to avoid misfortune.... mostly selfish reasons .

@ivanaeat What all humans have in common is intellect although @ varying levels. Nothing convinced me of lifes purpose except Islam. I was lost & couldnt see myself following the idiocy of the xtian doctrine etc... Even as a gang member I never got a tattoo for this very same reason. Although lost, I could not fully dedicate myself to losing.
Despite what haters have written about Islam, I studied it from its source & was convinced 100%.

@ivanaeat Naw "religion" didnt get me away from gangs. I was always a thinker, but my thoughts never lead to concrete concepts.
Islam is a system of life & ruling like capitalism & communism are. NOT a mere religion like xtianity or buddhism.
Those vast complexities are guessed by men & followed by other men as in atheism & xtianity. I choose not to guess.

I find it very unlikely that democracy is considered unislamic. i also hate when people say that democracy is a man-made system hence it is prone to failure. this is oversimplifying the whole concept. even aspects of islamic are man made (from a believer's point of view) or completely man-made if you are looking from a non religious point of view. also it is wierd when i hear "ummah" as if over a billion people with varying ethnicities are suppose to all be governed by the same laws.

a ummah won't work, islam as a governing system won't work because you aren't allowed to criticize policy or even question any aspects of the system.
i don't have to have a clue to know that islamic view of society is a flawed on it is similar to the views of marxists who do not consider human greed and ignorance. you can't have an ummah when the arabs still call africans abeed (btw im not black). yeah i have seen arabs call blacks slaves here in america. when there isn't respect,

as i was saying, when there isn't respect, there can't be unity. btw its not only arabs who are racist towards so are south asians and south east asian muslims. they are even racist against eachother. so how do you aspect to have an ummah , who do not even respect each other, speak the same language, or even practice the same form of islam.

Yup, i totally agree with you on that...you see I'm trying to prove that democracy is not considered unislamic as well...it makes no sense. To me Islam is something that should be spiritual and apply to each individual as opposed to a whole society, at least in a singular form, like what you say about the ummah not applying to all. That's precisely why we don't live in 10 century babylon anymore, Sharia cannot be ENTIRELY applied to 21 century society. Religion cant = politics.

I'd like to point out that the only form of democracy you address in this video is representative democracy, which is not real democracy. "Anarchist", "consensus", "tribal" and "socialist" democracy are all the same thing - that is, direct democracy where the people directly elect not rulers over them (which would of course be haraam) but how society runs itself.
InshaAllah I'll make a video soon to completely explain what I mean. Allah ma ak.

@dawahworks Gradually but steadily, people are becoming aware of the true Islam that Arabic readers of the Koran have always know. Islam is a way of ‘conquest’, and the Koran instructs followers to tell ‘lies’ to non-followers in an effort to convert them, or kill them if they will not be converted.
Overall, Arab racist bigotry is the most underrated and abhorrent instrument in Islam, most notably in Africa.

@dawahworks To all the westernised blacks who think of Islam (Arab religion) as a trendier option to Christianity (White religion), take the time to look up how Arab Muslims treat indigenous/black Muslims in Africa, as inferior beings - to be raped, tortured, and murdered en mass.

islam, religion tries to oversimplify issues with simple "solutions". it does not recognize many aspects of humanity such as ethnocentrism, greed and the nature of any living creature to favor its own survival over others. for this reason i think religion is just wishful thinking.

Many in my social circle have advocated the position that an Islamic state is incompatible with any other type of state.
They believe that Islam teaches the overthrow of governments in any area where there are Islamic people.
Need the modern world fear Islam? Is there a "take over the world" message?
Imagine a USA that withdrew support for Israel. Let's assume that Israel falls without the support.
What happens then?

Thank you for your comments & views... Every political entity desires dominance. The difference with Islam is that Islam improves the political & social situation of every country it enters as a system. The true system of Islam has been absent for almost a century therefore there are no fair paralells we can draw today.
We seek Islams revival so that the world can (once again) witness justice.

The attachment of government to geographic borders is a very crude way to serve a society.
Islam, for example, would submit to different rules of judgement and law. There is conflict because current political systems are a geographic all-or-nothing game.
What if a free society were to emerge that allows Muslims in an area to be subject ot muslim law and muslim government, while those who choose another path can participate in a different set of laws. Coexisiting geographically.
ParrhesiaJoe 2 years ago
From wat I can understand from wat u typed...
A sovereign Islamic gov practicing its belief religiously & politically is against the wishes & agenda of cap./demo. gov. These serve to usurp the resources of other nations & restrict is inhabitants to servitude. Just as n Iraq wen a reporter askd 'If thru Demo elections, the ppl of Iraq choose Islam?" Paul Bremar's reply was "No! Islamic gov is OFF the table!"
There can be no co-existing. Islam must exist sovereign, not as a political concubine.

The little lines we draw on maps are convenient borders for vain men to divide the world, but borders do not divide us in spirit.
But this could coexist with other governments and encompass the globe.

No need to 'imagine'. recent history is sufficient to prove that the Islamic system is the only system that can produce harmony between men. If other systems exist at the same time they cannot occupy the same 'space". A society cannot exist within a society. Ultimately the prevailing system has the last say.

Just a few questions about Islamic government...
If it existed, what would it be like?
Does it lean closer to socialism or capitalism?
If it had a head of state, would that head of state not make mistakes that would negatively affect the people?
And lastly, how would things be for the working class?
Sorry for all the questions, but I really need to know, I'm at a bit of a crossroads here.

Asalaamu alaykum brother. I was wondering, what do you think about anarchy (the abolition of government and state), and do you think it could work well with Islam?
AkaiShizuku 2 years ago
Before I attempt to answer u... Is this a serious question?
dawahworks 2 years ago
Yes, it very much is. I've been doing research on communism, anarchy, and pure communism (which is essentially a form of anarchy in which everyone provides for each other as needed), and I wanted to know what you think about it.
AkaiShizuku 2 years ago
Islam is the most organized form of government. Anarchy would be its direct opposite just as democracy & communism.
Al Khilafah is the Islamic form of state government. I would be a hypocrite to believe in any other form.
dawahworks 2 years ago
How would anarchy be a direct opposite form of government when anarchy by definition is the lack of government? Wouldn't it be easier to practice and spread Islam in an anarchy than in a democratic khafir state, and from anarchy, wouldn't it be easier to rebuild Al Khilafah?
AkaiShizuku 2 years ago
Your question was: "...and do you think it could work well WITH Islam?"
No matter what form of government that exists prior, Islam, if propagated correctly, can become the dominant thought & eventually the dominant practice as a system.
We put our trust in Allah (swt) as we act.

AkaiShizuku 2 years ago
Every government that is not Islamic is kufr, just as with every government on earth today.
Naturally if Islam were to replace a government, it would be replacing a kufr one.
This is why the initial dawah is so important. The people will desire & embrace the "New" system that is replacing the old kufr one.

Dawah works i wonder if you actually sat down and studied Political science to any extent. Democracy has proven to be successful for so long because it allows people who have different view points and beliefs to express their views and coexist peacefully together. Alternative forms of govt.s usually end up being dictatorships or totalitarian govts. which doesn't allow political freedoms to their citizens or allow them to participate in the political process and develope a civil society.

Have you ever considered that it might be possible to create a constitutional democracy with a foundation in Islamic principles? Because this is exactly what Muhammad (saw) did at Medina. Check out the Consitution of Medina. It creates an "ummah" (the word used) of the Muslims, Jews, and Pagans(!!) at Medina, allowing for freedom of religion, cultural autonomy re: issues like blood-debt, unity w/ regard to war and treaties, and governance by self-counsel. Muhammad (saw) was so ahead of his time!

Question: Did man create himself or was he himself created? The search is 2 find the beginning. We kno the design is intelligent, but the guess work of the deniers is rather unintelligent & leads 2 the worship of other men. Worship has always existed since time & wil continue. This points 2 the fact that reverance, admiration, sactification, worship, etc is innate. Now we r directed 2 kno who is worthy of worship; The Creator or, the created. U r either a slave 2 Wat made man or wat man made.
dawahworks 2 years ago

THis is true. Islam is obviously created by man. So that is not worthy of worship. But what is a god without adherents, or created. Without us, he wouldn't be a creater, and allegedly without him, we wouldn't be created. But then The way he wields powewr if we are ment to fear him, how is he different frm the "devil". If he is just meant to satisfy us then he is really just a glorifried janitor. So really this so-called god isn't worthy either way.That is why I beleive that these religions die

Dont get so wrapped up in thinking that Allah (swt) is angry & evil. All of creation shows love & care. The management of man & the systems he chooses to live under is the crux of the matter.

Besides The man made version or atleast the Abrihamic one is a nutcase. He "loves" us, but if we step out of line or think for ourselves, we burn. is he all kind and merciful then? Besides islam is going to die, Ideologies do.

Democracy has no neccessary relation to capitalism.
Even in Britain during the seventies taxation levels for the very rich were over 90%
Anyway, democracy is just one of many parts of what was once known as LIBERALISM.
This, not democracy, is what current Western civilization is built on.
It concerns the freedom of the individual to think and act how he wants.
It was created from the death of Christianity and the death of organised religion.
Islam imposes restriction on thought.

Like I said Liberalism and current Western society is based on freedom of thought. Which, like I said is what (effectively) finished off Christianity.
In European Liberal society, any belief is to be tolerated. (at least in theory).
Islam doesn't have this benefit in that it has certain things that cannot ever be questioned.
That's why I say it imposes restriction on thought.

As-salamu'alaykom, great vid Akhe! A dictatorship is much like a democracy. The people can at any time rise up and overthrow the dictator. It might be argued that a democracy is less bloody, but in light of the violence the US had exported in recent years one has to wonder. The US is not a democracy but rather a plutocracy. A 2 headed monster that fights itself and can not kill itself because its supported by the same economy and lobby groups.

Man can legislate, but not justly.
Making improvements in "social justice" after you have enslaved & suppressed & dehumanized a people for years should not be viewed as "improvements". It should be viewed as revealing of your flaws.
Women couldn't vote, Blacks were worth less than whites, & witches were burned alive for accusations.
A Judicial system where 12 jurors that did not witness the crime to rule on guilt or innocence is far from "best".
Trial & error doesnt show ability only flaws

how can you determine what is just or unjust. for all your criticisms of democracy, you ignore the fact that democracy is the most successful system of govt today. they protect civil rights and human rights better then other forms of govt and they generally have higher standards of living then non democracies. plus democracies don't go to war with each other.

*sigh* why is it always these Muslims living in western democracies telling us how much better Islam would be for us? It's like they think we don't see the other 57 corrupt backwards Muslim majority nations where people are desperately leaving in droves to come to the west. Islam just doesn't work. You people can't even agree on it let alone implement it properly.

A white woman is unconscious on a bed & a black man is standing over her with a knife. What is the reality?
The black man is a doctor about to perform surgery.
When our opinions are based on limited knowledge, we will never understand the holistic reality.
The Muslim majority nations are not that way due to Islam... but by western design.
dawahworks 4 years ago
If someone is gonna perform surgery with just a knife and not a scalpel or other important surgical tools than he might aswell be murdering the patient. Blaming the west for Islams failure just doesn't work when not all these places are dictatorships and you have corrupt nations like Iran who oppose western powers.
MushroomNinja420 4 years ago
Islam has never failed. The Muslims have failed Islam by allowing the west to colonize our lands & establish puppet rulers there in succession. From Sadaam (may Allah forgive him) to the filthy saudi monarchy (may Allah uproot them) to the Taliban (may Allah aid them) to the Zionist of Israel, the west has established the entities in Muslim lands to destabilize the region... hence the default.

Yes and I'm sure the west is also responsible for the many different Islamic sects and schools of thought that also keep Muslims at odds with each other. Funny how Gods third instruction manual requires additional text and individuals to interpret it for the masses.
Now please continue praying for sell outs, murderers, and tyrants who claim to share the same religion as you while ignoring the obvious.
MushroomNinja420 4 years ago
Schools of thought (madhahab) are a sign of strength, not division. Of course you wouldn't understand this. Sects however, are part of a divisional plot orchestrated by many characters. & don't pray for you people except for your guidance.

In Islam sovereignity belongs to God and Democracy soveriegnity belongs to people but they did not create anything to claim sovereugnity. God is the one who created everything so he is the sovereign Lord. He has all the right to deman what we should do or not to do. Disbelivers have no ight to demand anything but they can live anyway they want but they can't demand Muslims to follow their way of life.

It is not intolerant to tell someone that if they do not like democracy, they should go to a place which is not democratic. I'm fine with you not liking democracy, but you have no right to deny the rest of us its benefits. If democracy bothers you so much, why do you remain in the West?

The West has designed a pitiful alternative in those countries once ruled by Islam. This is an attempt to have Demo "appear" superior by default.

We Muslims are not forcing Islam down the throat of anyone, we are just telling people that their purpose in this wold is different but you are trying to force Democracy down our throat; part of that program is war on terror.

Salaam. I have a question brother. If Islam and democracy cannot co-exist, then how should the leaders of muslim countries be chosen?
afgsabour 4 years ago
Wa alaykum As Salaam,
Democracy has nothing to do with choosing leaders. Democracy has to do with from where the laws that govern a society will emanate. There is also no "choosing" on Muslim leaders of countries. The Islamic leadership is central & singular. & all other assistants are selected by this Khalifah.
dawahworks 4 years ago
I understand the governing laws part, but I need more clarification on what you mean by muslim leaders. I understand no proper Islamic state is in place in the world, but if one were to be newly created, where would the representaion/leadership(not regarding the law/system, but other affairs i.e. international relations) be placed, and whom would decide the appropriate candidate?
afgsabour 4 years ago
The qualifications from Quran & Sunnah are Muslim, Male, Mature, Sane, Free (non-slave). The re-establishment of the Islamic State won't happen all at once. It will happen in a certain area initially. It will be for those people there to assemble candidates for consideration. The method is thru Bay'ah (allegiance) to follow said individual in all matters except haram.

Surah 5:51 "Take not the jews and christians as friends." Surah9:5 " Slay the idolators( non muslims???)where ever you find them,besiege them,and prepare for them every ambush." Surah9:29 "Fight those who do not believe in Allah" May I ask where is the tolerence and peace and love for humanity?
Perhaps there is another interpertation!!
mandixy9 4 years ago
In 5:51 the word is "Awliyyah" which is One Who Conducts Your Affairs. "Friend" would be a weaker understanding in this context. 9:5 was addressing a direct incident in our history where the idolaters formed an alliance to attack us at every turn We in turn were ordered to fight hard & fierce until they ceased hostilities. Same surah 9:29 is making it clear who the hostile forces were.

Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of Injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty, Absurdities, discrimination, Contradictions, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims

This comment has received too many negative votes show
More Muslim propaganda to show how peaceful this religion is that still executes people by public beheadings, hangings, stonings, etc. and demands the execution (by law) of people who convert away from isalm. Put aside the worship of a mythical god, this religion is archaic and barbaric. They are all brainwashed.

This is very difficult for me to follow. I'm not quite sure what you're saying.
Islam - Dictated by fathers, prophets and political leaders. Law dictated by faith.
West - Lead by the elected. All people are equal, all people have the choice to live how they want. All laws are created from reason and understanding.

Democracy and Islam are contradictory terms. The goal of Islam is Sharia law, the implementation of the Quran as the law of the land. What you see in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan is the Moslem global vision. The idea we express in a democracy, "I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" is not understood in Islam. There is no right to dissent. There are 16 Moslem nations in the Middle East; not one of them is Democracy.

Laright i have some questions for you. 1) What would you as a Muslim do if the majority of people in your country do not accept the shariah? Would you be ready to use some sort of violence? 2) There is ambiguity in any language inc. Arabic so many verses, een those containing statements of law, in the Quran and hadith can be interpreted differently by different people. Whos to decide which interpretation is the right one?...
jonnykzj 4 years ago
There has always been & will always be Non-Muslims within our Islamic State. They truly did & will prosper under shariah law. Only a very limited area in Islam that is open to interpretation of scholars. The Opinion supported w/ the strongest evidence is accepted.
dawahworks 4 years ago
Ok so when would a khalifa be elected at all? When the Muslims have enough millitary power OR when most people in the country would accept a Khalifat? Reharding the aread of interpretation they may appear to be limited to some whilst not so to others. Regarding evidence, we need to know what you would consider as evidence. According to the scientific community it's converging support of a hypothesis/theory from INEDPENDENT sources of inquiry...
jonnykzj 4 years ago
... And if you do accept that kinna evidence then again technically it's people deciding/confirming. But we must also remember that what amybe evience to some is not so to another and one cannot force it on anyone being a minority.
jonnykzj 4 years ago
...3) Lets say the Khalifah decides it beacuse he is an "expert" int he field. NOW who is to decide whether he is really an expert if not the majority of the people of the land and thus accept his interpretation? Last but not least it would still be HIS, THE KAHLIFAHS INTERPRETATION OF BOTH QURAN AND HADITH so how can you claim it is directly from Allah? Does Allah come down and whisper things into the khalifahs ears?
jonnykzj 4 years ago
oh and 4) Who would elect the Khalifah? If not the majority of people in the country then who would appoint those who would elect the Khalifah ? If not the majority of people either then who...? 5) In any case dont you see we technically have people deciding all along?
jonnykzj 4 years ago
Islam is for humanity. Not for angels. Shariah is the directions for travel through this life to arrive at a pleasant destination in the next. There are several ways to process the election of a khalifah. i dont think they are relevant for you here as I have observed your line of questioning.
dawahworks 4 years ago
No they are EXTREMELY RELEVANT because from that we would know whether its a minority group enforcing its views on the majority or by actually gaining the acceptance of the majority of people in the state, they(the majority) elect and thereby accept the Khalifah.
