All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists and may the blessings and peace be upon the Prophet, the Trustworthy and upon his family and his companions, and whoever is upon their path until the day of Judgment.
Amma Ba’ad (To Proceed)
we (www.moderatesrefuted.wordpress.com) openly challenge you to a debate regarding the Islamic stance on Democracy. The debate may be held over e-mail, messenger, or paltalk, and the debate will be posted on our site (regardless what outcome is). We also challenge you to refute our upcoming articles Refuting the misconception “…You cannot target civilians…” and Answering “…but you cannot Judge”
We believe democracy is that it is kufr and shirk, and we base it on the follow (all of which we can elaborate):
Firstly,
the one who does not rule by Sharee’ah law, is a kaffir
“And whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, then they are the disbelievers.” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 44]
Secondly,
the legislation is ONLY for Allah (SWT)
6:57 Say: “For me, I (work) on a clear sign from my Lord, but ye reject Him. What ye would see hastened, is not in my power. The command rests with none but Allah. He declares the truth, and He is the best of judges.”
12:40 “If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah. He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men understand not…
42:10 Whatever it be wherein ye differ, the decision thereof is with Allah. such is Allah my Lord: In Him I trust, and to Him I turn.
“Is it the Hukm of Jahiliyyah that they seek?”
“But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission.”
“And whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, then they are the disbelievers.” [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 44]
4:60 Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.
Thirdly,
Obeying legislation is Ibaadah (Worship)
“They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah
‘Adiyy bin Haatim (RA), who was a Christian but came to Islam, he heard the Prophet (SAW) recite this ayah, so ‘Adiyy (RA) said: ‘We did not worship them besides Allah’. The Prophet (SAW) replied: ‘Did they not make forbidden what Allah had made permissible, and made permissible what Allah had made forbidden?’ ‘Adiyy (RA) replied: ‘Ofcourse’. So he (SAW) said: ‘So that was
your worshipping of them’.
(Found in Imam Ahmad’s Musnad and the Jaami’ of at-Tirmithi, and he declared it hasan.)
