The
fundamental point that must be comprehended before dwelling into the
arguments for and against voting is
the apparent Shirk in the system of Democracy. The act of voting itself
is not Kufr or Shirk; but what it leads to is Shirk undoubtedly. We
understand this by turning to the Kitaab and Sunnah and the explanation
of the Scholars and then applying the principles to the reality. The
word Democracy comes from the Greek words ‘demos’, which means ‘people’
and ‘cratus’, which means ‘governance’. It is a system wherein the
people legislate for themselves, by means of their appointed
representatives, in a council or parliament, which is established for
the purpose of implementing the laws and policies that reflect the
desires of the majority of people of that region.
‘Abdul Wahhab Al-Kilali said,
“All the democratic systems are based on one ideology, which is that the authority is ascribed to the people, to whom the mastership belongs. In conclusion, democracy is the principle of the mastership of the people.” (“Mawsoo’at As-Siyasah”, Vol. 2/756)

It
is, as Abraham Lincoln put it, ‘The rule of the people, by the people,
for the people’. Therefore it is a system, which is at odds with the
very essence of Allah’s exclusive right of legislation and as such it
steps outside the mere
disobedience of Allah into the realm of Shirk, in that it seeks to
elevate mankind to the level of the Legislator (i.e. Allah). Allah said:
“And Allah judges, there is none to put back His Judgment and He is swift at reckoning.” (Ar-R’ad, 41)
And He, the Most High, said:
“Have they other associates who have prescribed another law for them that has not been issued by Allah?” (Ash-Shurah, 21)
“And Allah judges, there is none to put back His Judgment and He is swift at reckoning.” (Ar-R’ad, 41)
And He, the Most High, said:
“Have they other associates who have prescribed another law for them that has not been issued by Allah?” (Ash-Shurah, 21)
And because the people are the ones who select the laws, by means of their representatives, these laws are based upon what the people wish and they are in accordance with the desires of the majority, rather than what Allah has revealed.
Allah said:
“Have you seen him who has taken as his Ilah (god) his own desire? Would you then be a Wakeel (a protecting guide) over him? Or do you think that most of them hear and understand? They are only like cattle – nay; they are even farther astray from the path.” (Al-Furqan, 43-44)
Therefore the usurpation of this right by humanity sets them up as false deities (Tawagheet) besides Allah, by which they legislate laws and judge upon matters in opposition to His revelation. And for this reason, Allah, the Most High, referred to any person or system that does not rule by what Allah has revealed, as a ‘Taghoot’ (i.e. false deity): Allah said:
“Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghoot (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them.” (An-Nisa’, 60)

Shaykh
Al-Islam, Ibn Taymiyyah said:
“The person who is obeyed in disobedience of Allah or the person who is obeyed in following other than the guidance of the religion of truth; in either case, if what he orders mankind is in opposition to Allah’s orders, then he is a Taghoot. For this reason, we call the people who rule by other than what Allah revealed, a ‘Taghoot’.” (“Al-Fatawa”, Vol. 28/200)
“The person who is obeyed in disobedience of Allah or the person who is obeyed in following other than the guidance of the religion of truth; in either case, if what he orders mankind is in opposition to Allah’s orders, then he is a Taghoot. For this reason, we call the people who rule by other than what Allah revealed, a ‘Taghoot’.” (“Al-Fatawa”, Vol. 28/200)
And Ibn Al-Qayyim said:
“So a Taghoot refers to all people who rule by other than what Allah or His Messenger rule. This would also apply in the case that the people worship him besides Allah or they follow him without sight from Allah or they obey him when they aren’t sure if they are obeying Allah. So these are the Tawagheet of the world and if you look at them and see the condition of the people with them, you will see that most of them have switched from worshipping Allah to worshipping the Taghoot; from ruling by what Allah and His Messenger ruled, to the ruling of the Taghoot, and from obeying Him and His Messenger to obeying the Taghoot and following him.” (“‘I’lam Al-Muwaqqi’een”, Vol. 1/50)

Muhammad Al-Ameen Ash-Shanqiti
said:
“And with these Heavenly texts that we have mentioned, it becomes quite clear that the ones who follow the fabricated laws, which the Shaytan has legislated upon the tongues of his allies and which oppose that which Allah, the Powerful, the Most High, has legislated upon the tongues of His Messengers, peace be upon them, that no one doubts their Kufr and their Shirk except he whom Allah has removed his sight and has blinded them to the light of the revelation as they are.” (Look to “Adhwa’ Al-Bayan”, Vol. 4/82-85)
“And with these Heavenly texts that we have mentioned, it becomes quite clear that the ones who follow the fabricated laws, which the Shaytan has legislated upon the tongues of his allies and which oppose that which Allah, the Powerful, the Most High, has legislated upon the tongues of His Messengers, peace be upon them, that no one doubts their Kufr and their Shirk except he whom Allah has removed his sight and has blinded them to the light of the revelation as they are.” (Look to “Adhwa’ Al-Bayan”, Vol. 4/82-85)
And because most religiously-committed Muslims are aware that the fundamental goal of democracy is to rule the masses based on the desires of the majority, as opposed to the revelation of Allah, we do not need to spend much time explaining the Kufr of this system in general.
Certainly, the system of Democracy is dependent upon the masses to participate in elections so that it can be clarified which candidates are to represent them in Congress. This electoral process is also essential in determining the ruling party and the President or Prime Minister of the country. Because the system is founded on the masses choosing leaders to legislate laws and implement policies on their behalf, the entire democratic process could not exist without elections. If it weren’t for the participation of the masses in the electoral process, Democracy would not be possible to implement as there would be no one to vote for any candidates and therefore their would be no elected members of parliament to act on the people’s behalf in legislation and government policy.
‘Abdul Wahhab Al-Kilali said,
“It means that the people, to whom the mastership belongs, do not practice the authority of legislating themselves. Rather, they grant it to the Members of Parliament whom they elect for a specific period and appoint to represent them in practicing this authority on their behalf.” (“Mawsu’at As-Siyasah”, Vol. 2/75)
“It means that the people, to whom the mastership belongs, do not practice the authority of legislating themselves. Rather, they grant it to the Members of Parliament whom they elect for a specific period and appoint to represent them in practicing this authority on their behalf.” (“Mawsu’at As-Siyasah”, Vol. 2/75)
Shaykh Abu Baseer Mustafa Halimah said,
“Firstly, Democracy is founded upon the principle that the masses are the source of power. And included in that is the power of legislation and that takes place by means of selecting representatives for the general population who take their place in the duty of legislation and the creation of laws. And in other words, the legislator and the obeyed one in Democracy is the human and not Allah. And this means that the one who is worshiped and obeyed in the issue of legislation and the permitting and the prohibiting is the masses and the human and the creation and not Allah, the Most High. And this is the essence of Kufr and Shirk and misguidance, due to its contradiction to the fundamentals of the religion and its Tawheed. And it results in the association of the weak, ignorant human with Allah in the most unique characteristic of Ilahiyyah (i.e. devoted worship), which is the ruling and the legislation.” (“Hukm Al-Islam Fi Ad-Dimuqratiyyah Wa At-Ta’ddudiyyah Al-Hizbiyyah ”, Pg. 28)

So
the reality is that these Members of Congress, which act upon the will
of the majority and take their place to legislate laws etc., can only do
so when the masses elect them to the positions to do so. And if we
conclude that these Members of Parliament commit Shirk and Kufr by
legislating laws besides Allah, then what would be said about the people
who elect them for this job, knowing that this candidate will be
engaging in the formation of man-made laws on behalf of the
people who elect him?
And the Shaykh, ‘Abdul Qadir ibn ‘Abdil ‘Azeez, said,
“As for those amongst the people who vote for them (i.e. Members of Parliament & Congress), they are committing Kufr as well, because according to the representative democracy, the voters are in reality delegating them to practice the mastership of Shirk – legislating beside Allah – on their behalf. Thus the voters give the members of parliament the right to implement Shirk, and set them up – through their voting – as legislating lords beside Allah. Allah says: “Nor would he order you to take Angels and Prophets for lords (gods). Would he order you to disbelieve after you were Muslims.” (Al-Imran, 80)
So
if a person who takes Angels and Prophets as lords has become a Kafir,
how then about the person who takes the Members of Parliament for that?
Likewise, this is also implied in His saying: “Say:
O people of the scripture, come to a word that is just between us and
you, that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partners
with Him, and none of us shall take each other as lords besides Allah.”
(Al-Imran, 64)
Consequently, taking people as lords beside Allah is a Shirk and a disbelief in Allah and that is what those who vote for the members of parliament are doing.” (“Al-Jami Fi Talab Al-‘Ilm Ash-Sharif ” 1/151-152)
And this action falls into the description of the known rule: “Supporting Kufr is Kufr”, because the one who assists or enables the people to commit Shirk or Kufr, Knowingly, takes the same ruling as the one who commits the Shirk or Kufr itself.
And this rule is consistent with what Allah said about those who remain present while His verses are mocked:
“And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur’an) that when you hear the Verses of Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.” (An-Nisa’, 140)
Consequently, taking people as lords beside Allah is a Shirk and a disbelief in Allah and that is what those who vote for the members of parliament are doing.” (“Al-Jami Fi Talab Al-‘Ilm Ash-Sharif ” 1/151-152)

“And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur’an) that when you hear the Verses of Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell.” (An-Nisa’, 140)
And Ash-Shawkani said,
“His statement: …certainly in that case you would be like them. In other words, ‘If you do that and do not prevent (it) then you are the same as them in the Kufr.” (“Fath Al-Qadir ”, Vol. 1/527)
And the Shaykh, Sulayman Ibn ‘Abdillah Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhab, said,
“The meaning of this verse is just as it appears. It means that if a man hears the verses of Allah being disbelieved in or made fun of and sits among those disbelieving ones who are making fun of (them) without being compelled to, and does not prevent them and does not leave them until they begin to talk about (a different subject), then he is a Kafir like them, even if he does not take part in this act, because this indicates his pleasure with Kufr. And being pleased with Kufr is Kufr. With this verse, and others like it, the scholars have demonstrated that he who is pleased with the sin is like the one who commits it and if he says that he hates it in his heart, it is not accepted from him because the judgments are upon their (outer) appearance and he has exhibited Kufr, so he would be a Kafir.” (“Majmu’at At-Tawhid ”, Pg. 48)
“The meaning of this verse is just as it appears. It means that if a man hears the verses of Allah being disbelieved in or made fun of and sits among those disbelieving ones who are making fun of (them) without being compelled to, and does not prevent them and does not leave them until they begin to talk about (a different subject), then he is a Kafir like them, even if he does not take part in this act, because this indicates his pleasure with Kufr.

Therefore, one who merely remains present while the Kufr is being committed and does not leave and does not attempt to prevent that from taking place, takes the same ruling as the one who actually performs the Kufr. So what is to be said about those who assist and enable the Kufr and Shirk by electing a candidate on their behalf to legislate for the creation, laws, other than the laws of the Shari’ah?! And keep in mind that these votes are the only method by which this individual member of parliament will be able to do so, because without the electoral support from the voters, he would not be in the position to perform this Kufr and Shirk in the first place!! So in this case, the voters are the ones who enable and assist this one to commit the Kufr and Shirk and they are not merely from those who sat silently while the verses of Allah were mocked.
Once
you make the connection between the role of the voters, during the
election, and the subsequent Kufr and Shirk which is committed by the
Member of Congress when he is elected, there is no more room for doubt.
And what is the difference between those who elect this individual as a
lord besides Allah to legislate the lawful and
unlawful for them and those who take the sun or the moon as a lord
besides Allah to provide them with their sustenance and provision? By
Allah, the ruling upon them is the same.
They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Maryam. (At-Taubah, 31)
Imam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir At-Tabari recorded a Sahih Hadeeth via several chains of narration, from `Adi bin Hatim who became Christian during the time of Jahiliyyah. When the call of the Messenger of Allah (saws) reached his area, `Adi ran away to Ash-Sham, and his sister and several of his people were captured. The Messenger of Allah (saws) freed his sister and gave her gifts. So she went to her brother and encouraged him to become Muslim and to go to the Messenger of Allah (saws). `Adi, who was one of the chiefs of his people (the tribe of Tai’) and whose father, Hatim At-Ta’i, was known for his generosity, went to Al-Madinah. When the people announced his arrival, `Adi went to the Messenger of Allah (saws) wearing a silver cross around his neck. The Messenger of Allah (saws) recited this Ayah; They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah. `Adi commented, “I said, `They did not worship them.”’ The Prophet (saws) said, “Yes they did. They (rabbis and monks) prohibited the allowed for them (Christians and Jews) and allowed the prohibited, and they obeyed them. This is how they worshipped them.”
Concerning the tafseer of this verse, Al-Alussi said:
‘Most of the tafseer scholars said: `the meaning of lords is not because they believed that they were the gods of the universe, rather, the meaning is that they obeyed them in what they commanded and forbade’.
Shaykh ‘Abdul Qadir ibn ‘Abdul ‘Azeez commented,
“All of this illustrates that whoever legislates for the people besides Allah, such as the Rabbis of the Jews, the Monks of the Christians and the MPs, he has indeed set himself up as a lord to them, and that is enough as a clear kufr. So should anyone of these MPs be pleased with this parliamentary job of Shirk or participate in it, his Kufr is clear without any doubt. As for the MP who claims that he is not pleased with it, and that he has only entered the parliament for Da’wah and reform, he is a Kafir as well. His saying so is but a trick to deceive the laymen and the ignorant people, and a shield by which he defends himself. The reason behind his kufr is that his entering the parliament is a recognition of the legality of their activities i.e. going to the desire of the people for judgment, and is an abiding by its principles and the principle of the system through which they (parliaments) were established. So all of this is a voluntary going to the Taghoot for judgment, which makes the person who does it a Kafir, because Allah says: ‘And in whatsoever you differ the decision thereof is with Allah.’” (Ash-Shura, 10) (“The Criticism of Democracy and the Illustration of its Reality,” pg. 4)

Regarding the UK election 2017. Labour are proposing free tuition for students in university, and stop the nuclear war. I am a muslim, i believe voting is haram, however in this election my beliefs are in conflict. If labour is elected, Riba will not be a choice for university students, this will stop muslims from going to war with الله, and will encourage the muslim youth to get into further education, to better the ummah, as they will no longer have fear of going to war with الله. The ban of nuclear weapons will reduce the number of muslims being killed world wide by a large amount, as 1 bomb can kill up to 25,000 people. If Conservatives win the election, Theresa May is an extreme racist and is very islamaphobic, she will makesure more innocent muslims are killed, go to jail or deported. She will also ban the niqab, and eventually the hijab, and many other horrible acts which affect people in the UK, but do not directly apply to muslims. In this case, as muslims make up a large population of the UK, especially Londond and Birmingham, should we not vote for Labour with intentions of demolishing Riba and killing of our muslims, whilst still live by the rulings of الله? Either way we are forced to live by the laws of the land as we are in it, so should we not try to vote for laws which are more towards the teachings of allah azza wa jal?
Firstly, Jazak Allah Khair Brother slaveofallah97 for your comment and for clearly expressing your views, so that Insha'Allah we can reply in regards to what we believe should be the right action of a Muslim.
As you must've Insha'Allah read the above Article, in which it clearly states that Voting is considered as Kuffr and not Haraam... And so our reply will be based on as per the contents of the Article itself.
We read your concern on the fact that you seem to see lots of benefit in the coming election for the Muslims in the UK and elsewhere and so you are conflicted to think that maybe Voting can be considered as an option, however let us point out one thing Insha'Allah and we want you to think and ponder over it seriously... Do you honestly believe that these people who'll stand up in the Election will anyhow be able to put into practice what they preach? Obviously keeping in mind that they don't preach Shar'iah or Khilafah, rather they preach Democracy which itself is Shirk, as the above Article clearly explains as such. And so from within this Methodology of Shirk, these people claim that they'll be benefits for the Muslimeen, they'll be able to help the Muslim Ummah? When has it ever been from the History of the Muslims that these so-called "Muslim" Politicians ever kept to their word after they were elected? For them coming into Power and getting the Votes is what they crave and desire, you honestly believe that they care least for the Muslim Ummah whose dying in the hands of the Kuffaar, whom they won't even raise a single voice against, because if they do, then they won't get the chance of even standing in the election, rather they'll be thrown behind bars.
Have we SubhanAllah forgotten what Allah did to Mursi, the ex-leader of Egypt? Who used similar method... Who wanted to do so much for the Muslims via the methodology of Shirk and Kuffr? Did not Allah disgrace and humiliate him? And do we not remember the same thing happening in Algeria back in 1988? How can we SubhanAllah believe that Allah will bless us with Victory or help us solve our issues via ways that goes against His strict commandments, via ways that bring people who Astaghfirullah stand up and legislate laws over the laws of Allah!?!
Aren't the words of our beloved Sahabah Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (ra) enough when he clearly said: “Verily, we were a disgraceful people and Allah honored us with Islam. If we seek honor from anything besides that with which Allah has honored us, then Allah will disgrace us.” [al-Mustadrak 214 - Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani]
Indeed his words have come to show us the reality in it over and over again throughout the history.
If Voting for the Kuffr law or those who stand hand in hand with that law seek to benefit the Muslims of that Country or the Ummah elsewhere, and if Islam would've permitted us in doing so, then wouldn't our beloved Prophet (saws) himself would've agreed to the offer that was laid by the Quraiysh in benefit of the Muslims back then? Where 1 year the Muslims were to worship and obey their so-called laws of the land and gods and 1 year they would do the same! The Prophet (saws) could've given the option that no we won't worship your gods but we'll obey your laws of the land and at the same time keep silent in regards to your Shirk and Kuffr... but indeed our beloved Prophet (saws) was given Surah al-Kaafiroon as response, Allahu Akbar!
And so Brother slaveofallah97, SubhanAllah "forced to live/obey law of the land?!?" Yes indeed we often hear many people and so-called speakers of the Deen saying “Islam tells us to obey the law of the land”! We ask them where in the Quraan and Sunnah does it say that we should obey the law of the land in a Kaafir country? They usually quote:
“O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best (way) and best in result.” [4:59]
When Allah says “Those in authority amongst you”, who is “you”? This verse clearly starts with “O you who have believed”, the “you” refers to the believers, not the Kuffaar. It then tells us if we disagree, to refer it to Allah and the Messenger (saws), meaning the Quraan and Sunnah, not to refer back to man-made legislation. In contrast to what they say, Allah tells us:
“O you who have believed, if you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you back on your heels, and you will (then) become losers.” [3:149]
In particular, it is completely Haaram for us to obey anyone, even our Muslim leaders, in anything which differs from what Allah and His Messenger (saws) brought:
“There is no obedience to a created being if it is disobedience to Allah the Exalted.” [Musnad Ahmad - Authentic/Sahih]
We can see infact that if we take a man as our legislator and regard it as the law to be obeyed, then we are worshipping that man. This was explained after Allah revealed the Ayah:
“They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.” [9:31]
One of the Sahabah, Adi bin Hatim, who was a Christian (before becoming Muslim), went to the Prophet (saws) and when he heard this Ayah, he said: “They did not worship them.” The Prophet (saws) replied:
“Yes they did. They (the rabbis and monks) prohibited the allowed for them (Christians and Jews) and allowed the prohibited, and they obeyed them. This is how they worshipped them.” [Tafsir ibn Kathir]
So our brother slaveofallah97, we apologize if our reply was harsh in any way or that it offended you, but indeed we do not compromise the Haqq and speak against the Baatil Alhumdulillah to the best of our capability. We urge you to Insha'Allah as well read the Articles on Hijrah for your own benefit, some of which are:
theghurabah.blogspot.com/2016/02/importance-of-making-hijrah-from-lands.html
theghurabah.blogspot.com/2016/03/muslims-living-amongst-kuffar.html
theghurabah.blogspot.com/2014/10/residing-in-lands-of-disbelievers.html
Brother, Insha'Allah remember the words of Al-Hassan Ibn Salih (rahimahUllah) when he said:
“Whoever remains in Darul Harb (country/land that is at war with Muslims) will be treated like the Kuffaar, so long as he was able to join the Muslims but did not do it. If one of the Kuffaar accepts Islam, but still remains with the Kuffaar, even though he was able to go to join the Muslims, he is to be treated like them; neither his blood nor his property will be protected.”
[Al-Jasaas, “Ahkam al-Qur’an“, Vol. 3 page. 216]
People use the excuse of living amongst the Kuffaar and obeying their laws to that of when the Sahabah traveled to live in Abyssinia, sadly they don't even want to seek deep on what were the reasons for the Muslims to make Hijrah and fled their land to Abyssinia? How come they left the best place on the face of this Earth, Makkah?” Prophet (saws) allowed them to leave so that they could free themselves from this physical persecution. To safeguard their faith - not and some people would give up their Imaan, not everyone has the strength of Bilal, or could resist what Khabbab bin Araq went through. So if a person fears the safety of their religion then they should go somewhere else.
Prophet (saws) said, “The believer should not humiliate themselves, by facing harm which he is not able to handle.” [Ibn Majah] So if something is too much for a person to handle, then that person should not put himself in such a situation.
We pray Insha'Allah that our reply was clear enough and we again seek your forgiveness Insha'Allah if anything we said harmed or hurt you personally, as it was never our intention.
The rest indeed Allah knows best and may He guide us all to that which pleases Him alone!
