A debate is currently taking place in
the Muslim world on whether democracy is against Islam or not. With
Islamic parties taking power in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt this debate
has intensified as these parties attempt to justify their actions. In
addition to this some people are actively promoting Erdogan's
secular-democratic Turkish regime as a role model for governments post
Arab spring.
Much of the debate on Islam and
democracy is based on pragmatic thinking rather than the Islamic way of

contradicts Islam or not is to study the reality of democracy in depth
and then study the Islamic texts of Qur'an and Sunnah for an answer.
This book written on the 3rd Dhul-Qida
1410AH, 27th May 1990 by the late Sheikh Abdul Qadeem Zalloom (May Allah
have mercy on him) follows such an approach and shows that democracy
far from being a model for Muslims is in fact a system of kufr that is
forbidden to adopt, implement or call for
