Be aware of Man-Made Law / Sovereignty of People (Part I)

Be aware of Man-Made Law / Sovereignty People (Part I)
(Collected from Allah's Governance on Earth)





Assalamu alaikum,

Dear brethren in Islam,


All praise belongs to Allah (Almighty), we praise Him and seek His help; we ask for His forgiveness and seek His refuge against the evil of our own souls and of our deeds. Whomsoever He guides, none can misguide him, whereas whomsoever Allah leads astray can never find any guide. We bear witness that there is no god except Allah (Almighty), the One and the Only God, Who has no partners, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. The best words are Allah’s and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The worst evil is innovation in religion; every innovation is an error, and every error will end up in the Hell-fire.


It was deemed by myself to discuss this important subject when I saw the absence of this subject on the shelves of the Islamic bookshops and Islamic web groups. I am also grieved to find that this subject  is  not even being given the attentions that it deserves, even on the street among common Muslims.This article also remains as a step forward in highlighting the truth, and as a moral aid and support for the modern struggle of Tawhid (that being Haakimiyyah). This struggle is the most important one of our time, as the Shari`a acts as protection for all the forms of tawhid and the people that are under the banner of tawhid. Losing the Shari`a results in the things that we are seeing in our midst today, in our society, like the disintegration of every good thing and all good people.

In this time, there has been a lot of debate regarding the Shari`a, to the point that some have denounced the Shari`a altogether due to the advent of democracy. There have been some among the Muslim community caught in this hard place, and the reader deserves an explanation regarding what opinion he should be taking regarding these people in addition to the way that we should handle democracy.
Democracy is a government system where people have the sovereignty to rule the state. It is not merely electing leaders of a country. So in this system people can change constitutional laws or put forth initiatives, referendum and suggestions for laws where in Shari'a system it is only Allah who has the sovereignty. The leader is his Allah's representative and he and the countrymen enforce the law revealed by Allah.
