So often we hear from the tongue of the pseudo intellectual

that this Ummah needs democracy to rise from its upheaval

The so-called learned do not realize the contradiction

that lies between Islam and democratic dispensation

In the very definition of democracy

is the negation of God's sovereignty

Of all things, man becomes the measure

of right and wrong, he is the author

for its operation, skepticism is inevitable

to any transgression, it can grant approval

Be it homosexuality or prostitution

No guidance from divine revelation

The Quran claims that majority on earth follow mere conjecture

If you abide by their opinion, you'll be the eventual loser

Without spirituality, Nafs dictates the mind of a human

There is no guarantee of truth in such a situation

According to great scholars, ijtihad is not an open mandate

Everyone doesn't have the right to it in an Islamic state

Shariah is not a playground of the ordinary laymen

It's an expertise demanding intellectual acumen

The Holy Prophet's habit of mutual consultations

was due to the high caliber of his companions

To label it as democracy

is nothing but idiocy

The appointment of Abu Bakar as caliph wasn't through elections

but was simply taking a pledge or an oath of allegiance

To consider it as a modern voting process

is ignorance to Islam's original sources

Were the first four rightly guided caliphs politicians?

If yes, they wouldn't have earned such reverence

They were men of the highest standard of excellence

who never desired societal status or prominence

O' Muslims, beware of your enemy's deceitful trap

Follow the Sunnah if you want to rule the map!
