The right place for the Mockers of the Deen !!!

[By ash-Shaykh al-Muhaddith Ahmad Muhammad Shakir (rahimahullah)]

(In his Tafseer of the Ayah: "…and seek their counsel in affairs…" and the Ayah: "…whose affairs are settled by mutual consultation…")

The mockers of the Deen at this time – scientists and others – took them (the Ayaat mentioned) as a means of misleading others in the symbolic interpretation to agree with the Europeans on the constitutional system method, which they claim, and cheat people by naming it the democratic system. So these mockers took these two verses as a motto, or slogan, to cheat the Islamic Ummah, people, and everyone who returns to Islam. They say a right word but they intend falsehood. They say: “Islam​ calls to a consultation, and other such expressions.” Islam calls to consultation, but what is the consultation that Islām calls to?

Allah says to His Prophet (saws): "and seek their counsel in affairs. And when you have come to a decision place your trust in Allah alone." The meaning of this verse is very clear, and obvious. It does not need any interpretation, or any symbolic interpretation. It is an order to the Prophet (saws), then to the Khalifah after him: That is, to examine the opinions of his companions, who are the knowledgeable, men of intelligence – to examine their opinions on the issues and matters which can be argued and the matters in which they can exercise a judgement. He then chooses what he thinks to be right, or in the best or most interest, useful, then to resolve on doing it, unlimited, unrestricted by the opinions of any group, or any limited number, or the majority, or the minority. When he resolves, he trusts in Allah alone. If he resolves, he will trust in Allah, then do what he determines.

It does not need any evidence or proof that the people who the Prophet (saws) ordered them to consult – and to be models to the Khulafa after him – are the righteous men who apply Allah’s decree, perform Salaah, and pay the Zakaah. The fighters, for the sake of Allah, that the Prophet (saws) said about them: “The men of gentleness, and of intelligence from you, must come after me.” They are not those who those who reject Allah, or fight against Allah’s decree, and Deen. They are not the wicked who do every evil deed. They are not the people who pretend to have the right to legislate, or to put laws that do not agree with the Deen of Allah, and destroy the Shari’ah. The right place of these and those disbelievers is under the sword or the whip, not in the situation of Shuraa or the exchange of views.

And yet another verse – the Ayah in Surah ash-Shuraa – has the same clarity, and clearness: "who obey the commands of their Lord and fulfill their devotional obligations, whose affairs are settled by mutual consultation, who spend of what We have given them."
