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.

I'm a Harsh Person

By A. Alamgeer -
So, it's been long since I posted on my or any-one else's blog. Thanks to my PTCL's DSL connection which is up once again after about 4 and a half days. I was reading Asmi's Journal today and found out that she didn't gave any answer to my comment. The post on which I commented last is gone too. So, I think the thing is, she has a bad feeling about me because I did discourage her a bit in my second-last comment. So, this and a few more things that happened made me write this post. When I was a kid, I was stupid. I used to trust everyone very quickly. I used to make friends very quickly too. So, I had many friends, all beautiful, intelligent, sober etc. etc. According to me, they had all the good qualities. As in everyone's life, people come and go, people came and went away in my life too. But let me tell you what was my criteria of distinguishing between good and bad people. Good people look good, they have clean teeth, combed hair, smiling face, they talk wit...

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...

So, it's a new day and the electricity has already started flickering thought government has announced a continuous electric supply for three days (this was second by the way). Yesternight we had samosas . They were so tasty AlhamduLILLAH. And the most remarkable thing that happened was that I was involved in cooking too. I actually made the samosas and did the fillings. As far as I remember, I never cooked anything in our (about) 1.5 years of marriage. If you plan to try them do, make some more and send to your neighbours too! I hope they're gonna love'em ;)
