Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan’s Campaign to Expose Injustices of Democratic System

Democracy delivers privileges for rulers and exploitation for masses

On 1st December 2014, Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan issued a leaflet titled “The Khilafah will End Democracy and its Injustice” to expose the ugly reality of the democratic system. In order to further explain this issue Hizb ut-Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan conducted a campaign of public addresses at public places and outside Masajid in the major cities of Pakistan. Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir addressed these public meetings, explaining how the democratic system is unIslamic and only protects the interests of the elite. They said that the century-long history of the democratic system proves that wherever and in whichever shape has been implemented, it always guaranteed privileges for the rulers and exploitation for the masses. This characteristic of the democratic system is because of right of legislation through which elected members manipulate laws and fill their pockets and the pockets of their associates. Concentration of wealth in the oldest democracies like America and Britain is proof of this fact, which even President Obama has admitted. Speakers said that because of this inherent characteristic of the democratic system even in Pakistan members of parliamentary assemblies have tripled their wealth in just six years.

Speakers elucidated the fact that the democratic system is the root cause of injustice and oppression and on top of this our Ideology, Islam, demands from us that we must reject democracy and abolish it. Democracy is a system that gives human beings the choice to obey Allah سبحانه وتعالى or disobey Him, even though Allah سبحانه وتعالى has revealed that it is not befitting for a believing man or woman to have any choice in a matter when it has been decided by Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم. Speakers said that democracy assigns men in assemblies as sovereign because they exercise the right of legislation which in Islam is unique to Allah سبحانه وتعالى alone.

Shabab of Hizb ut-Tahrir asked the Ummah to reject democracy and join the struggle for establishing Khilafah with Hizb ut-Tahrir because Khilafah alone will end exploitation of humans by abolishing man-made laws and implementing Laws of Sharia and this will be real change.
