Is Democracy Islamic?

By A. Alamgeer -
So, I was thinking about if democracy is really Islamic. And I came to know that it is not and it is clearly stated in the History.

RasooluLLAH (Sal-ALLAH-o-Alaih-e-wa-Sallam) was very ill, so ill that He (P.B.U.H) couldn't lead the Ishaa prayer. So, He (P.B.U.H) ordered Sahabah (R.A) to ask Abu-Bakr(R.A) to do the Imamat.

Sahabah couldn't find Hazrat Abu-Bakr (R.A) so they asked Hazrat Umr (R.A) and said their prayers after him (R.A).

When RasooluLLAH (Sal-ALLAH-o-Alaih-e-wa-Sallam) learnt that Hazrat Umr (R.A) has lead the prayer. He ordered Sahabah (R.A) to say their Ishaa prayer again and after Abu-Bakr (R.A) (In imamat of Abu-Bakr (R.A)). So Sahabah said that Ishaa prayer again and now in the Imamat of Hazrat Abu-Bakr (R.A).

When we look closely, this way, RasooluLLAH (Sal-ALLAH-o-Alaih-e-wa-Sallam) had not only informed us about His (P.B.U.H) khalifah but also negated democracy. (i.e. he refused to the majority of people and kept His (P.B.U.H) order).

So, from this we learn that Democracy is discouraged in Islam. ALLAH knows better. May ALLAH show us and keep us on the right path. A'meen!

I'm very sure that the democratic system is shirk and that we shouldn't take part or elect ourselves to be part of it to promote the system, rather I read a fatwa that its fine to take part in it so that we could forbid evil and invite to righteousness. There's been a lot of debates going on concerning this issue and I'm supposed to be at the age of voting in my country. I'm still trying to look for which is the best opinion to follow about voting.

Qadyani - The False Prophet/Imam

By A. Alamgeer -
I had been watching T.V. a few years ago and searching for a T.V. Based on Islam. There I found religious (apparently Muslim) T.V. channel but to my horrible surprise, I saw in it the qadyanis preaching their religion. So, As it just came into my mind, I thought I should write something about that group also. According to Qadyanis, they are "True Muslims" or at least Muslims, but please be advised, they are not muslims at all. Qadyani-ism was started from Pakistan and then it was supported by many countries especially USA and England etc. Quadyani was one of the most famous debators of his age. His articles were given most importance in the Muslim world especially Pakistan. But then things changed. At the first he claimed to be Issa (AS) or Jesus, According to him, he had the qualities what Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be upon him) informed us that Issa AS would have (He was wrong, he had none of the qualities let me leave it for the moment). He also said that he is a Nabi or Proph

The Trinity

By A. Alamgeer -
I was reading a blog post on Asmi's Journal and I was inclined to write something about Trinity here. They say that God was (na'uzu biLLAH) divided into three parts which they call as The Trinity and so they worship all the components (of their God). This definition of God contains a few pieces of information. 1. God is divisible. 2. There are three Gods. 3. It also says that there are currently three gods but there can be more. Let's discuss the first point. 1. God is divisible If something is divisible. It means we can measure it. (only measurable things can be divided) So take this point into account we get 1. God is divisible i. We can measure God (his powers, his size, etc. etc.) 2. There are 3 Gods 3. There can be more than 3 Gods Now take into account the point number 1.i. and it tells you: We can measure God (this means) God is limited. So, let's add this to the list 1. God is divisible i. We can measure God (his powers, his size, etc. etc.) a. God
