Allah’s shari‘ah is the sole valid law as He says: ‘The rule is for Allah alone’ [12: 67]. The principles of democracy are laid upon what the majority desire. What if the majority are sinful and vote against the shari‘ah? Does that mean we abandon shari‘ah for man-made laws?... Muslims are required to reject the modern day idol of democracy just as Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, rejected the idols of his time.”Samir Khan, “Sadness, Contentment & Aspiration,” Inspire Magazine 6 (2011): 49-50.
