    If a system of democracy is advocated in which the people of such a democracy can change their laws to other than found in 'al quran' then this system by default is unlikely to be recommended in 'al quran'.

    In this respect, democracy (rule of majority) contains a fatal flaw.

    All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

      SaLaM KGB and Wakas

      KGB

      This is something which can be achieved in all the muslim world if you have sincere honest leaders.

      United Arab Emirates did it and it did it better than any arab country.

      Wakas

      Right now, the scenario presented to mquran is that there is already a ummah of quran following believers. Problem is, how do we chooose a leader? Im still waiting for him to answer this step by step. Just so i can understand.

        Where did I say this please ? This goes against my understanding of even the word ummah. You are mistaken, Jaxal.

            Where is this umma of yours ? An umma of believers are uppermost in the land (4/141). I dont see any believers anywhere ?

                  Ok, it doesn't start with an 'umma of believers'. It starts with one man, the messenger.

                  the messenger calls people to serve Allah. He then fulfils the role of the messenger (3/164) and (57/9) and also leads them in engagement in the world.

                  From here, the umma is formed.

                    But brother, right now, there are people all over the world who are following God and his Books. Who is the leader?

                      Yes, because no one has taken THE MESSENGER role. One guy needs to stand up and say 'i am the messenger, obey me'.

                          Anyone at all who asks people to serve Allah is bringing God's message.

                              Who fulfils that criteria, yes. He must be INSPIRED to this. Please read the stories of the messengers, Jaxal.

                                If Rashid Khalifa was alive right now, would you be believing that he is the leader of the ummah right now?

                                  Good question. No , I wouldn't because RK didn't teach the Quran but rather sunnism minus hadith.

                                    Interesting. Ok, what if, this messenger was teaching something that went against your belief. You say RK was teaching sunnism - hadiths, but what if that is the right way? Would you beleive he is the leader?

                                    ( i have no associationg with RK or his teaching, im just using him as a reference )

                                      If a messenger came to me and preached what messengers before preached, yes I would. I've not met anyone to that effect at all. Remember that the messenger did TILAWAATUL KITAB (practice of the book) and not just bla bla'ed about it.
