Democracy, Voting and Elections Upon The Scales of The Quraan and Sunnah by Shaykh ‘Abdul’Azeez al-Bura’ee

On the eve of the US presidential elections and just a few months away from Tobago’s local election, MPUBS released an excellent and extremely comprehensive manual of the evils and harms that are implemented by democracy, voting and elections. This Ebook, taken from a tele-link done with Ash Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Yahya al-Bura’ee (hafidhahullaah), the insightful criticizer and Muwahhideen Publications on 24th May, 2010, a few days before the national elections in Trinidad & Tobago, where Muslims were encouraged to go out, vote and participate in these un-Islaamic proceedings.

An excerpt taken from the chapter: “A Warning Against Democracy”:

“…And so it is upon the Muslim, to stay clear of these (matters) and these fundamentals which are in opposition to the legislation. Upon the Muslim is to hold to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم), even if by doing so he contradicts his entire society. If in doing so he is in opposition to his whole community, he shouldn’t think anything of it.

             Thus, may Allaah bless all of you, you will find that the ones who have adopted democracy, the ones who encourage elections, are the non-Muslims. Therefore the Muslims who say that elections are part of the religion, they are saying that non-Muslims have beaten the Muslims to this good, and upheld it before the Muslims! What praise for the disbelievers is greater than this?!? Surely the one who says this has praised them greatly, and raised their stature high.”
