Re: Khuda ke Liye- the hottest anti-Islamic movie in Pakistan
OK guys, what i was trying to say was that there is no single Hadith which prescribes how the government should be established. I try to elaborate.
Khilafat means successor, how he is elected and what authorities he enjoy is no where specified. What only was specified was that till 30 years the Khalifas or successors would be Rashids and then no more. All his life he has been propagating for establishment of a society and not a system of government.
From his life it is evident that discussion is required with fellows before taking any decisions. You can do it in parliment as well. After all Majlis-e-shoora is another name of parliment. President or Prime Minister can be Ameer or whatever. These are just semantics, tranlation of words from one language to another. We started calling the mayors as Nazims, what difference did it make.
What you are saying about political Islam does not come from Quran or Hadees but from Muslim thinkers later on. So it cannot be quoted as part of Islam. Today's thinkers seeing the direction of world can suggest constitution based democracy as the sin qua non of Islamic country. I hope i have clarified my point, agreeing or not is a matter of choice.
