In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Professional Election - Islaamic Election
By Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Today Global World is on the edge of total collapse and west started accepting that. In the news they started saying 1% are rich and 99% are poor, what about in the third world, perhaps it could be 1 in million rich and rest are poor in the third world.If 99% are rich and 1% are poor, then rich can give charity of 1% which total from all rich will 99% then everyone will be balance, but if 98% are rich and 2% are poor and rich, then rich will have to contribute more. BUT what if 1% are rich and 99% are poor and no one has any hope to fix the Global System. What about the rest of the poor countries.Although the BEST and EASIEST solutions are through Global, without any discrimination of religion, race, gender, colour, language etc.
BUT even if Global World doesn’t understand, Muslim World doesn’t need
to sit and wait for Allah to come down and fix it. We have the Quraan
(True Book of Guidance from Allah) with us and we collectively need to
do all necessary actions under our limited resources to fix all kinds
of major and minor issues. First step on all these is to Educate our
Citizens including Media and our Law and Order Enforcement Agencies
(Police, Army, Judicial Systems etc.). Remember: No changes without right actions. Act now before it gets too late, keeping in mind tomorrow never comes.No
Vote to an Islaamic Party is also a Vote to other party. Election is a
kind of Bai’ya (Oath of Allegiance, Promise, Agreement, Support) what
Sahabaa used to have and it is a witness as well as a Justice. So be
careful. It is also a Great Peaceful Jihaad to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim.O
you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of
Allah's sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your)
parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah is nearer to
them both in compassion; therefore do not follow (your) low desires,
lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is
aware of what you do, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.135).Before understanding the Professional Election, we must understand the Kingdom, the Dictatorship and the Democracy.Remember: … The Command is for Allah only … (Al_Quraan_006.057)Kingdom:Is
there any escape from a Kingdom, if a corrupt person becomes King or
Queen, other than his/her natural death, without any use of power other
than Democracy?How
come a King or a Queen who is a Muslim and in Power doesn’t implement
the Complete Deen-e-Ibrahim Laws according to the Quraan?Absolutely
not, also remember there is no place of Kingdom in Islaam, since the
Command is for Allah only, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.057).Dictatorship:Is
there any escape from Dictatorship, if a corrupt person becomes a
Ruler, other than his / her natural death, without any use of power
other than Democracy?How
come a Dictator (Ruler) who is a Muslim and in Power doesn’t implement
the Complete Deen-e-Ibrahim Laws according to the Quraan?Absolutely
not, also remember there is no place of Dictatorship in Islaam, since
the Command is for Allah only, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.057).Democracy:Is
there any escape from Prime Minister or President, if a corrupt person
becomes a Ruler, other than his/her natural death, without any use of
power?Yes, of course, since there is a time period of 4-5 years.How come a Prime Minister or a President who is a Muslim and in Power doesn’t establish Deen-e-Ibrahim according to the Quraan?BUT
still, there is no place of Democracy in Islaam. Since those who know
and those who don’t know are not equal, (Ref: Al_Quraan_039.009).Leader and Quality of a Leader: We Must Select our Leader:And
withhold yourself with those who call on their Lord morning and evening
desiring His goodwill, and let not your eyes pass from them (always yes
sir, till they follow the Quraan), desiring the beauties of this
world's life; and do not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful
to Our remembrance, and he follows his low desires and his case is one
in which due bounds are exceeded, (Ref: Al_Quraan_018.028).Those
who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay
the poor-rate and enjoin good and forbid evil; and Allah's is the end
of affairs, (Ref: Al_Quraan_022.041).O
you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in
authority (Leader) from among you; then if you quarrel about anything,
refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the
last day; this is better and very good in the end, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_004.059).Allah
has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He will most
certainly make them rulers in the earth as He made rulers those before
them, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion
which He has chosen for them, and that He will most certainly, after
their fear, give them security in exchange; they shall serve Me, not
associating aught with Me; and whoever is ungrateful after this, these
it is who are the transgressors, (Ref: Al_Quraan_024.055).Professional Election to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim:What about Professional Election in which all the rules to be followed will be according to the Quraan??? Think & Think Again:::>>>
Due to the Advancement in every field and also the world is moving
towards Globalization, so we need to Re-Think from all angles in the
light of the Quraan.Quraan gives the solutions to all issues:Quraan
gives solutions to all issues, while Human laws are week and may do
major destruction to mankind. Just take an example of marriage laws
passed in the province Ontario, Canada for Lesbians and Gays. Democracy
and Human Rights may allow them to marry with the same sex. Think what
could happen after 100 years
if all the people of Canada will become Lesbians and Gays. No more
production of kids. If no one abroad gives their kids to be adopt by
these Lesbians and Gays, then after 100 years not a single person may
exist to run and protect Canada. Human laws could give this major
destruction to the society. Allah’s laws gives perfect solutions to all
issues and protects us from any kind of destructions if we FULLY adopt
the laws of Allah.In
some cases Quraan gives clear orders like do this and don’t do this,
while in some cases it does not. But it does not mean that it didn’t
give the solution, actually it gave the some flexibility, which don’t
break the boundary limits imposed by Allah.Dealing with each other:O
You who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities:
but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good will
(with Justice): nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath
been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancor and injustice, soon
shall we cast them into the fire: and easy it is for Allah, (Ref:
Al_Quraan_004.029 – 030).Dealing with the Spouse:Men
are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given
the one more than the other, and because they spend of their property
(for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in
secret that which Allah hath guarded …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.034).(Women must obey their husband if his order is not against the Quraan)Dealing with the Governments:O
you believe! Obey Allah, and obey the messenger and those of you who
are in authority; and if you have a dispute concerning any matter,
refer it to Allah and the messenger if you are (in truth) believers is
Allah and the Last Day. That is better and more seemly in the end,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_004.059).Enter into Islaam Completely, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.208).Globalization
may be good BUT we need to PREPARE well before applying Globalization,
otherwise it could be another disaster, like Canada already faced when
there were NAFTA agreement and many of the big companies moved to
Maxico and here in Canada many people faced jobs losses and it affect
badly to Canadian Economy.Democracy
is Blind. BUT if we apply the Quraanic Solution to present Election, it
will be an Quraanic Election. Many man made rules will be rollback,
while many rules will be updated in the light of Quraan and many new
rules will be introduced in the light of the Quraan.Those who don’t do Justice according to the Laws of Allah, they are disbelievers:Surely
We revealed the Taurat in which was guidance and light; with it the
prophets who submitted themselves (to Allah) judged (matters) for those
who were Jews, and the masters of Divine knowledge and the doctors,
because they were required to guard (part) of the Book of Allah, and
they were witnesses thereof; therefore fear not the people and fear Me,
and do not take a small price for My communications; and whoever did
not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the
unbelievers, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.044).No
Vote to an Islaamic Party is also a Vote to other party. Election is a
kind of Bai’ya (Oath of Allegiance, Promise, Agreement, Support) what
Sahabaa used to have and it is a witness as well as a Justice. So be
careful. It is also a Great Peaceful Jihaad to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim.Caution!
Allah may punish those who vote to the Non-Islaamic party while an
Islaamic Party exists, which is sincerely, and peacefully working to
establish True Deen-e-Ibrahim. Allah may also punish those who just sit
in their home and don’t go to vote for the Islaam Party and because of
that the Non-Islaamic Party may come in to power and destroy the
Deen-e-Ibrahim System.Think!
There is a way to obtain peaceful victory, and for that we only need
majority of true Muslims voters then there is no doubt that the
Islaamic Party will come in to power and be able to establish True
Deen-e-Ibrahim System. We may not get success without Perfect Unity.Sayyid
Abul A’la Maududi the GREAT Scholar of the Time and founder of
Jamaat-e-Islami started going for election, BUT perhaps he didn’t warn
the Muslim Ummah that those who don’t vote to the Islaamic Party may be
out of Islaam in front of Allah. How can a Muslim be a Muslim and not
supporting Islamic Party to establish True Deen-e-Ibrahim System?Warning!
Tell Every Muslims that they must support the Islaamic Party if it
exists in their region by giving their vote as well to establish True
Deen-e-Ibrahim Peacefully, otherwise the Non-Islaamic Party may destroy
the Peaceful System and Allah may punish you as well. So Be Careful.Have
you not seen those who assert that they believe in what has been
revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They desire to summon
one another to the judgment of the Shaitaan, though they were commanded
to deny him, and the Shaitaan desires to lead them astray into a remote
error, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.060).Help Allah to get Help from Allah:O you who believe! If you will Help Allah, He will Help you, and plant your feet firmly, (Ref: Al_Quraan_047.007).What about those Muslim Rulers, who don’t establish Deen-e-Ibrahim, how come they are Muslims?
What about those who appoint them by giving vote in a democratic
system, although there are others asking your support, so that they may
be able to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim? What about those who don’t go for
vote where there is a democratic system, to elect someone who is
promising to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim? As an example, suppose 3% of the population want to establish Deen-e-Ibarhim, but didn’t vote, 49% vote to the Non-Islaamic party while 48% vote to the Islaamic Party. Then Non-Islaamic Party will be in power only because of 3%
of the people who didn’t vote. Why there are so many divided Islaamic
Parties? Suppose that the majority of the people don’t want
Deen-e-Ibrahim System then, would you like to force the people or do
Dawah and leave the rest on Allah? A Muslim can never vote to a
Non-Islaamic party, while there are True Islaamic Parties available.
These things are extremely important and need TRUE Justice otherwise
the corrupt Rulers will be appointed and will destroy the Nation. You
must help those who are sincerely & peacefully trying to establish
Deen-e-Ibrahim.O
you who believe! be maintainers of justice, bearers of witness of
Allah's sake, though it may be against your own selves or (your)
parents or near relatives; if he be rich or poor, Allah is nearer to
them both in compassion; therefore do not follow (your) low desires,
lest you deviate; and if you swerve or turn aside, then surely Allah is
aware of what you do, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.135).Those who Vote to NON-Islaamic Party May be actually Disbelievers:O
you who believe! Whoso of you becomes a renegade from his religion,
(know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loves and
who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers,
striving in the way of Allah and fearing not the blame of any blamer.
Such is the grace of Allah, which He gives unto whom He will. Allah is
All Embracing, All Knowing, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.054).Remember: There is no Compulsion in the Religion …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.256).Those who Divide the Religion are NO Longer Muslims:As
for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast
NO part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah. He will in
the end tell them the truth of all that they did, (Ref:
Al-Quraan_006:159).Allah wants us to be United Perfectly:If
you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, etc.) amongst
yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe
in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for
determinations, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.059).Votes are also not equal:Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know, (Ref: Al_Quraan_039.009)?How
come the vote of Great Ulmaas and Ph.D. scholars are equal to those who
don’t know how to read and write their name??? Allah says NO.Globalization:The
first step towards Globalization came into existence when our Prophet
Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) came as Rahmatullil-Aalemeen, Prophet for
the whole world. Before Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), all prophets
came for Local People. Now it is the age of Globalization and we need
to think Globally.Quraanic Election to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim:Quraanic
Election is Professional Election, in which those who know and those
who don’t are not equal and their votes are not equal as well.If
we don’t fill the glass with clean water, air will take the place.
Similarly if we leave the Politics, Media etc. empty, others will take
place, which could be very harmful to the Muslim Ummaah, and that is
happening all around Muslim Countries.Ulemaa
is plural of Alim. Alim means the person who is professionally expert
in the particular subject. Generally it is used for Alim-e-Deen,
professionally expert of Quraan. An Alim-e-Deen can never be a
professionally expert of everything. He cannot be professionally expert
of Mathematics, Statistics, Geology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology,
Medicine, Electronics, Computers, etc at the same time. We need Alim
(Professionally Expert Practiced Muslims) from every discipline. If
there are several Ulemaa, there is no harm in having micro elections
among them, to appoint a Minister for Religious Affair.For
an Quraanic Election to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim , we need to include
Highly Professionalism in Election. A Group of Very Highly Professional
and Highly Experienced Practiced Muslims should be allowed to elect a
Candidate for each Ministry within the Group. In an Ideal case, we can
have Retired Personal under the age of 70 years from Top of the Ranks in each group, under the age of 70 years. Elections should be every three years. In an exceptional case we may include those above the age of 50 years. No Ministers will be above 75 years of age unless he is exceptionally fit for it.Ministry of Defense at Federal Level:Defense
is extremely important, before establishment of any system. It should
apply the techniques of Perfect Defense to Defend from Land, Air and
See, so that we will be protected from every side.We need to include, All Retired Practiced Muslim Generals under the age of 70 years from Land Force to Elect 5 Retired Muslim Generals under the age of 70 years, similarly equivalent number from Air and Naval Force need to be elected. These 15 members will appoint a Muslim Minister among them; in such a way that there will be three periods in 3 years and a person will be appointed for Minister from each group in turn.Ministry of Law and Order:… The command is for Allah only …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.057).We
need to have a Complete System of Law and Order. We will not go for
double standard. Instead, we will go for only one system, which is
Deen-e-Ibrahim Court and no differences will be taken into
considerations for a political or non-political prisoners, ruler (head
of state) or their people etc.Retired Practiced Muslim Judges under the age of 70
years, of Deen-e-Ibrahim Court will elect a Muslim member among them in
each city. These members will finally appoint a Ministry of Law.All
minorities will be allowed to practice their faith in-house. Minorities
will not be allowed to celebrate their festivals outside without prior
permission for each and every festival every time.Ministry of Health:Health of our people is very important. Retired Senior Specialist Practiced Muslim Doctors under the age of 70 years will elect a member in each city. These members will finally appoint Health Minister.Ministry of Education:We
need to promote professional education. We also need to promote the use
of computers in every field. Every professional course must include
Economics as a subject.Every Retired Practiced Muslim Dean (Head of University) under the age of 70 years will elect a Muslim member in each city. These members will finally appoint Minister of Education.Ministry of Immigration:We
need to give immigrations to all those Muslims only who are in
Non-Muslim Countries and are not allowed to worship and having hardship.When
angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they
say: "In what (plight) were you?" They reply: "Weak and oppressed were
we in the earth." They say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough
for you to move yourselves away (From evil)?" Such men will find their
abode in Hell, - What an evil refuge! (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.097).O
my bondmen who believe! Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefore serve Me
only. How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance,
(Ref: Al_Quraan_029.052-063)?(If
Kafir stops you from offering Prayers then migrate, Allah’s earth is
spacious. Do not worry about sustenance (rizk). Now let us see
how Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) implemented this. As you know Muhammad
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) migrated from Makkah al-Mukarramah (مكة المكرمة )
to Madina and never ever think to return. This is the Great secret of
migration, so Allah has given such a great reward by turning Makkah
al-Mukarramah (مكة المكرمة) into the center place for all Muslims. In brief, NO fighting for the LAND ).Other Ministries:We will apply similar method to appoint Practiced Muslim Ministers for each possible area.Future Developments:We will always need for any future changes. Deen-e-Ibrahim Court will present in the assembly for approval by Prime Minister.Prime Minister or President:We
will not go for double standard. We will only have Prime Minister
(Khalifa). However, Deen-e-Ibrahim Court will have power to suspend
till the case is open and may terminate the Prime Minister upon valid
reason.Who should be the Ideal Prime Minister?The
Practiced Muslim, who is Master of Deen and Duniaa, must have knowledge
of both Islaam and Science and Technology. Ideally Retired persons,
Practiced Muslim Master of Deen and Duniaa under the age of 70 will elect a Practiced Muslim member in each city. Finally these members will elect a Prime Minister.Salaries and Wages:There
will be standard for Salaries in the country. Salaries will be
reviewed. Special care will be given for people having low income.
Salary cut will be for highly paid employees.Rental Houses Geared to the Tenant Family Income:Government
needs to build Rental Houses, in which rent will be geared to the
tenant family income. It will also help to reduce the production cost
and hence should be able to do more exports.Interest based usury or Profit and Loss:All interest based usury system will be demolished and true Quraanic profit and lost system will be adopted.Currency (Gold):Our Currency will be virtual Gold. Paper or coin money of 1 virtual gold is equivalent to 1 gram of real gold similarly paper money of 100 virtual gold is equivalent to 100
grams of real gold. This is also an essential part in our success,
since it will help in stabilizing the prices of goods and hence will
reduce the rate of inflation.TAX:To run the Government we need funds, through TAXES.… And they ask thee what they ought to spend. Say: That which is superfluous …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.219).O
you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have earned, and of
that which we bring forth from the earth for you, and seek not the bad
(with intent) to spend thereof when you would not take it for
yourselves save with disdain; and know that Allah is Absolute, Owner of
Paradise, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.267).General
Tax of at least 10% will be deducted from their total family income, if
their total family income is above a certain limit depending upon their
family size. Look at the developed countries, they deduct high taxes to
serve their nations and they have much better facilities of Health,
Education and Defense. How can you expect that your government will
serve and protect you without your help? Without your help your
government may be in very poor shape and may not be able to serve and
protect you.Zakaat or Charity of 2.5%
will be deducted from their annual savings, etc. and will be spending
to family or person having low income through Global Muslim Charity.Additional Tax may be deducted from the rich people and highly paid person depending upon the requirement.Upon
submission of FALSE information, all the belongings and properties may
be SEIZED and will be donated to the Global Muslim Charity.REMEMBER: To Establish True Deen-e-Ibrahim, we need Good & Effective Planning as well.
Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
