Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem
The Ruling of Islam on Elections
� Elections is one of the means allowed under the Islamic law (Shar'iah) to
choose attorneys (agents or representatives). The Messenger of Allah (SAWS),
during the Pledge of Allegiance at Aqabah, said: "Bring out from you twelve
foremen to be responsible for their people's upholding of their duties".
� The regimes ruling in Muslim lands nowadays are all non-Islamic (Kufr
regimes). That is they are regimes of Kufr because their systems are not
derived from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (SAWS)
(except for some portions of it). It is forbidden for a Muslim, who believes
in Allah and His Messenger (SAWS), to help, participate in or be a part of
these regimes. Rather he must work with utmost diligence and speed to
dismantle it and establish the system of Islam in its place. The Almighty
said: "And those who do not rule with that which Allah has revealed, are
indeed the Kaffiroon(non-Muslims)."
� The ruling regimes are fostering and protecting munker, nay they are head
of munker. The Messenger (SAWS) commands all Muslims: "Whoever of you sees a
Munker, let him change it with his hand. If he cannot, then (let him change
it) with his tongue. If he cannot, then (let him change it) with his heart
and that is the weakest of belief." Therefore, what is requested of you, (
Muslims is not only to refrain from assisting or participating in the
regime, but to change it. Change with the heart is possible for every Muslim
through hating Kufr and Munker and renouncing it by saying: O Allah this is
a Munker that we are not pleased with. Change with the tongue is also
possible, for every Muslim in many different situations: amongst his family,
relatives, friends, and neighbors. As to that who applauds these regimes,
praise its rulers and supports it, he does not even harbor an iota of Iman
in his heart. Beware O Muslims, do not belittle the issue for it is a matter
of Iman and Kufr!
� Is it legal (Halal) for a Muslim who fears Allah to contest elections
within these regimes of Kufr? Yes, if he announce publicly, simultaneously
with this candidacy, that he does not believe in this system, that he will
not become a part of it or co-exist with it whether he is elected or not,
that he will not help a candidate who believes in the system neither
individually nor as a part of an electoral list and that he does not want
more that to use the podium of Parliament to deliver the word of Haqq and to
call upon all Muslims to eradicate the Taghoot (rule of Kufr) from its roots
(via intellectual actions and means). It is not enough for a candidate to
just believe in this idea declare publicly, for an individual becomes a
suspect and a subject for charges as soon as he announces his candidacy
under these regimes. If he keeps himself a subject of suspicion and charges,
he is sinful. It is illegal (Haram) for a Muslim, in this case, to elect
him, help him or congratulate him if he wins.
� The duties of a Member of Parliament include legistlation, vote of
confidence in cabinets, ratification of treaties, election of a Republic's
President and holding the regime and its institutions accountable. Only the
last action (holding the regime and its institutions accountable is legal
(Halal) for a Muslim Member of Parliament to practice. All other functions
are illegal (Haram). Legistlation cannot emanate from sources outside the
Book (Qura'an and Method (Sunnah. The Sovereignty belongs to Allah, i.e., He
is the Legislator. Nothing is legal but that which Allah has made legal
(Halal) and nothing is illegal but that which Allah has made illegal
(Haram). The Almighty said: "They took their Rabbis and Priests for Gods
instead of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) was reading this verse when
Adee Ibn Hatem At'ei entered wearing a cross around his neck. Adee said:
They did not worship them." Then Adee became a Muslim. So that who
legislates, making things legal and illegal without Allah's permission, is
transgressing against Allah and making God of himself. And those who follow
him in this matter has rendered the one followed a god instead of Allah. So
wake up, O Muslims.
The member of Parliament who gives confidence to a cabinet ruling with Kufr,
ratifies treaties based on Kufr laws, or elects a president who rules with
Kufr is an accomplice with them in their crime. A Muslim accomplice with him
in his crime.
� A Muslim's main concern, whether he is a Member of Parliament or not is
the vital cause of the Ummah, which is saving the Ummah form the claws of
the West's idolatry (the so-called: Western Culture) and guiding it to the
light of Islam through the re-establishment of the Khalifah. In lieu of
this, we see the members of Parliament these days work as street builders
and endorsers of transactions for their constituents, despite the fact that
a Parliament Member's interference in the work of the judiciary or other
government departments is transgression. We read these days that a block of
Jordan's Members of Parliament (The Islamic Action Front) are threatening to
submit their resignation form the Parliament if the Jordanian government
doses not retract its decision to raise the price for bread more important?!
Would the regime care if they resign or continue their submission?! Let the
candidates who humiliate themselves to win Parliament seats, regardless of
the means, take a lesson form the existing Members or Parliament. They found
that their existence there is meaningless. They found that what they thought
of a shrewdness and understanding of realities was in fact nothing but a
mirage and a clear cut case of shortsightedness. It was the regime's
enslavement and exploitation of them and of Islam - in whose name they sit
in Parliament.
When those members of Parliament, who promised to put Islam in the
position of policy-making, fail many people will think that Islam itself
failed and not only the individuals who participated.
� Some candidates try to find a pretext or a Fatwa for their actions on the
legal basis "The least of two evils." Based on this, the Arabs supported
Peres against Netanyahu in the Jews' elections, deeming Peres and Netanyahu
as evil but Peres as the lesser of the two. Thus, it became obligatory for
the Arabs to elect Peres. In Russia' selections, Yeltsin and the Communist
Zyuganov were deemed evil but Yeltsin was the lesser evil so it became
obligatory for the Muslims to support Yeltsin. Here they say; if X gets
elected he would be evil and if Y get elected he would be evil but X is
lesser so it is obligatory to elect X and so on. This is definitely not Fiqh
nor Ijtihad. The legal basis is not applicable here. Why is Peres' evil less
that that of Netanyahu, for example? Who said that X is less evil that Y?
There are mere desires. The legal basis is only applicable when a legal text
defines one of two evils to be lesser than the other and where there is no
way out but one of these two evils. In elections, there is a way out which
is for the to obey the laws of (Shari'ah) form the outset of his candidacy
to the end. This is viable and possible. The use and abuse of the legal
basis of "The least of two evils" as a pretext is thus invalid here.
Actually, a Muslim has another stand which is not to elect and not to sink
into the abyss of evil.
� It is untrue that a Muslim cannot work ( whether for the vital cause or
small issues) but through the Parliament. It in untrue that his work from
within Parliament is always more effective. Indeed in most cases his
participation in Parliament is a false testimony. A sedative against work
and change and a release valve for the Ummah's pent-up drive, especially if
he fears Allah ( in the people's opinion). The best position is for
individuals who fear Allah to avoid this as long as they are going to be a
tool to deceive others.
� We witnessed a couple of years ago that the Islamic Salvation Front's
wining of the elections in Algeria did not lead it to the establishment of
the Deen. Rather, it led (the Front) to jails because those who hold
authority (and Power) do not allow it to be transferred to their enemies. We
are currently witnessing in Turkey that the power brokers did not give the
cabinet to the Refah Party until is swore to and gave guarantees that it
will adopt secularism and do everything the way those who hold power desire
& require. So the solution does not come from within the Parliaments, rather
it comes by taking authority through the seeking of support from those who
have strength.
� The despair of the Muslims (or some of them) of Islam's resumption of its
victories; this despondency drives them to resign themselves to the regimes
of Kufr. It's time for this despondency to go away. It's time for the
western concepts and scaled, which pervaded our culture and made us run
after benefit and selfishness, to be destroyed. It's time for us establish
our Khilafah, apply our law (Shari'ah) and elect the Members of the Ummah's
Assembly under the Islamic State instead of elections in a Kufr domain under
Kufr systems.
"It is he who has sent His Messenger with the Guidance and the Deen (Way of
life) of Truth to make it victorious over all ways of life, even if the
Associantionists (Mushrikeen) detest it."
