Meaning of secular government

mquran

Quran is a message/guidance from Allah conveying that there is only one God and man should not foolishly waste on worshipping silly elements as Gods.
Quran is a message where Allah is telling mankind to live a righteous life, and to be respectful of all, to be humble, to be patient, to be just, to be kind, to observe charity, to observe moderation, to be kind and forgiving, etc...
Allah is conveying to man that man is accountable for his every action on the day of Judgement.

Great. So why is the Quran not one short passage like your words above ?

Please dont presume to speak for Allah and then twist his message to suit your whims.

Be respectful to ALL, you say ? I find it very strange that you MISREPRESENT the Quran in this way. People with Muhammad are said to be ASHIDDU ALAL KUFFAR ...intense against the kuffar (48/29). This is not some turn the other cheek ideology, sorry.

Quote
Is the above so hard to understand. It was not a quote from the Quran but a very simple statement that if we all agree to run a country according to the Quran(let us assume for a minute that all the laws are present in the Quran) what happen when people differ in their interpertation of what thhe Quran says.
How do we resolve this difference?

Your remark presupposed one thing that the implementation of its laws is a DEMOCRATIC. It's not. Its in the hands of a single leader who may have a consultative council. HIS interpretation is what counts.

I said no such thing about democracy or any system-simply how you resolve different interpertations
Ok let us go with your interpertation.
Humanity needs to go so who is the leader to form the consultative council

Do any others also believe, that What I understand(as I quoted my words above), is not the message of Quran?

The leader is ar-rasool, the one who takes the decisions if he choose to consult. He is a person who has imbibed al-kitaab and practises it closely, facilitates growth and gives information of al-kitaab al-hikmah (3/164).

PM, don't you get it yet? It's not about what ANYONE thinks (including me). Its about what al-quraan says. The words are as clear as day. The only thing now is how submissive we are to Allah.

I am with you all the way

As the world needs rules to function and the ar-rasool will take decisions regarding rules. Who is this ar-rasool whose decisons I should follow.

Does this not create problem as we run any state or society or do you believe in anarchy.

mquran

Does the fact that I've never met ar-rasool change the veracity of my statement ? Shouldn't my statement be compared against the criterion, of which you claim to subscribe?

Questions to clarify

Who is 'we' ?
How does this create a problem in our current situation? I.e I'm in living in a nation state.

Here is more wisdom from people who get "HIGHS" from conceptual adventure in the scritpure wink

i agree that democracy is not right .
but how about a "democratic theocracy" ? .
because ppl will have different understandings of the koran . so who will decide which understanding to follow ?

The person who has carved out a domain of power will decide. Of course, he can accept or reject advice from others. If others reject him, they are also free to leave.

I think superman, spiderman and batman would have stood up for democratic values pehaps - I don't see any of them in a dictator role do you? wink

How a person with exquisite taste in books and art can co-exist with an utterly gullible naivete in one body astounds me. But you have pulled it off, Robespierre, prince of peace.

p/s did Super, Spider or Batman have an election to see if they can exercise power?

Robespierre, no one asked you to cut in half my post. I said co-exist with an utterly gullible naivete too and i've been asking you to furnish the details of hermeneutics for some time now. So no, no one's trying to flatter you. You only choose to hear what sounds good.
