SHOULD MUSLIMS REGISTER TO VOTE IN ELECTIONS?
Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’aan Majeed:
“Those who do not govern according to that (Shariah) revealed by Allah, are indeed KAAFIROON.”
Emphasizing this prohibition, Allah Ta’ala describes these Kafiroon with the epithets, Faasiqoon (flagrant sinners) and Zaalimoon (oppressors). All forms of governance besides the Shariah are the law of Taaghoot (Iblees).
Furthermore, besides kuffaar law being Taaghooti and haraam per se, voting is accompanied by many haraam acts. Assuming that there are some benefits for Muslims in voting for kuffaar and ‘Muslim’ (Munaafiq) politicians, such benefits are not tolerated when there is a greater preponderance of haraam. Everything in this dunya has benefits and harms – advantages and disadvantages. For Muslims, the criterion is the Shariah.
Benefits may not be acquired in haraam ways. Some votary of voting who advocates participation in kuffaar politics has raised the bogee of Zionists taking control of South Africa. Thus, the disoriented chap says:
“If you don’t vote correctly next year, the Zionists will surely rule SA!”
Since the fellow has lost his Imaani bearings he fails to understand the nonsense which ensues from his mouth. If he had any understanding of the Qur’aan, he would have known that it is ONLY Allah Azza Wa Jal Who appoints rulers, kings and governments. The mundane institutions for the acquisition of objectives are merely the means created by Allah Ta’ala.
Allah Ta’ala is the Creator of all means, good and bad. It is He Who has created Iblees. But at the same time He has warned us to be on guard against Iblees. Thus, any ways and means which are in conflict with the Shariah – which lead to violations of the Shariah – which require commission of Haraam are NEVER permissible for Muslims.
As for the Zionist bogee, let then come and rule. They will be installed and rule only if Allah Ta’ala issues such a decree. The Qur’aan Majeed states unequivocally:
“…He grants mulk (country, sovereignty and political power) to whomever He wills, and He snatches away mulk from whomever, He wills.”
Muslims should not be concerned with the bogee which the fellow has raised. If Allah Ta’ala decrees that the Zionists should rule, then so shall it be. No voting and no power will be able to thwart the Divine Decree.
IT IS HARAAM FOR MUSLIMS TO VOTE AND TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POLITICS OF TAAGHOOT. THE ZANAADAQAH AND MUNAAFIQEEN WHO MASQUERADE AS MUSLIMS ARE ALL AGENTS OF TAAGHOOT.
