@@AsifAnsari-hg6tmWe ordained for them in the Torah, “A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth-and for wounds equal retaliation.” But whoever waives it charitably, it will be atonement for them.

Thanks . But he only Thinks it permissible !?? This is why Muslims are in trouble because a simple question that the answer should be a clear YES it is permissible & obligatory for Muslims to vote is muddied by a guy that talks to much. Yes brothers & sisters it is permissible to vote & haram to not vote or try to stop someone from voting

best comment, they have this system because they not believing in a God, so for them their system seems right, but we believe in Allah and should know that only his rules are the solution for everything.
Mustafa Sabri Efendi, the last SheikhulIslam of the Ottoman Empire, tells in his work Mevkif'ul-Akl 👇 [If the state leaves the line of Islam, "Obeying the dictates of religion is not the business of the government. It is only the business of society." says, this is to separate religion from the state. In such a case, the state apostatized (abandoned religion). If the society consents to such a government, or if the government will make laws by taking the society's proxy in the parliament (that is, by voting), the society will become apostate just as the government is apostate. In this case, the following verse applies to both that government and that ummah: "Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed, they are the disbelievers themselves." (Surah Maida, Verse 44) A political regime that accepts the principle of secularism means that it has rebelled against the rules of Islam. Therefore, first of all, this government apostatized, and then those who obeyed this administration became apostates one by one. Just as those who take part in the political administration are apostates one by one, the masses obeying this government also fall into apostasy (kufr).] (Mavkif'ul-Akıl, 4/280)
Subhaan Allaah. The Messenger of Allaah didn't enter the political field of Quraysh. Rather he, sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, called to Tawheed. When the people became rectified Allaah rectified them: Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieved after this, they are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). Surah Noor Aayah 55
Funny how this he strongly without a doubt claimed voting is wajib, then turns around chocked up saying no evidence is needed. If it's wajib, why is it so hard to bring evidences from Qur'an and Sunnah? No, if it's wajib then there should be evidences from Qur'an and Sunnah. Making a claim in a 20 minute video with not one ayat or hadith. Don't waste our time. We're not blind followers, no matter what degree you have. ALLAH says, that the Hukm is for none but ALLAH, and ALLAH has commanded that you worship none but Him" ALLAH says, "The Command is for none but ALLAH" ALLAH says, "and He makes none share in His Decision and Rule" ALLAH says. "Or do they have partners with ALLAH, who have legislated for them a religion which ALLAH has not ordained" Yes the democratic system is already in place, and it's not as though your replacing the Shari'ah with man made laws. But STILL, by you voting you are giving so and so kafir the authority/accepting for him to rule by this kufr system, which makes you an assistant in his kufr. A system which ORIGINALLY came to rebel against the authority of ALLAH, granting man the authority to legislate whatever he sees fit. Just looking at the origins of democracy should be enough for one to conclude that voting for this system is shirk Akbar. You're taking the right of ALLAH which belongs EXCLUSIVELY to Him, and giving it to someone else, making partnership with ALLAH. Pray to other than ALLAH and we say this is shirk, Slaughter in the name other than ALLAH and we say this is shirk. Making du'a to other than ALLAH, and we say this is shirk. So why when it comes to placing partners with ALLAH in His Legislation; in a right which is exclusively His, just like the others I've mentioned, we then say it's not shirk? And I give sincere advice to Ali Dawah, it's best that you take down this video. Your giving this liar a platform to spread his kufr, convincing Muslims who might be confused about this matter to partake in shirk. A dangerous line to walk on concerning your deen.
Brother Ali, you as an influencer on youtube especially an muslim influencer who give dawah to others, you should know what you post before doing so, how could you not have seen the errors of this so called 'shaykh', think about this you rather be liked by people or liked by Allah swt ? It's partly your responsibility when you let this shaykh spread ignorance and falsehood on your youtube account. And don't think lightly of this but rather fear Allah swt, Repent to Him to Allah swt, and ask for guidance to Him Alone without any partners. every (young)person that will think voting in democracy is permissible while it's not, don't you think it will be part of your responsibility and actions?? May Allah swt protect us from falsehood.

I like the point mentioned around 9:00. Shaykh al Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah mentions it's mandatory to learn the Arabic language because understanding the Quran and Sunnah is mandatory, and you cannot understand the Quran and Sunnah without the Arabic language. Thus making it mandatory to learn the Arabic language.
@@konyvnyelv. I thought I was dealing with someone who at least attributes themselves to Islam. The opinion of the kuffar are as worthless as themselves.
Shaykh Haitham said voting is not an act of worship but then later said its waajib to select the best candidate for yourself. How can it be waajib if it's not even an act of worship? 17:11
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on elections, and he replied: I think that elections are obligatory; we should appoint the one who we think is good, because if the good people abstain, who will take their place? Evil people will take their place, or neutral people in whom there is neither good nor evil, but they follow everyone who makes noise. So we have no choice but to choose those who we think are fit.
Bottom line is that voting is haram unless it's a necessity like the examples I gave above. I'm not telling anyone to vote. I myself will never vote even for a Muslim MP. Just because they are Muslim doesn't mean they will help the local Muslims in that area l myself have seen that. Unless it's a necessity like England are passing a law to ban hijabs in school and if they receive votes above a certain number they won't ban hijab in schools then out of necessity I will vote akhi. Politicts is a dirty game from hundreds of years ago and if you think politicians really help you then the millions march in London where millions turned out and soo many politicians said that don't invade Iraq and England still invaded Iraq. Bottom line is that you are made to think you are making a difference by voting
Abū Hurayrāh al-Tunisī akhi I'm not talking about general elections akhi. I'm talking if there was a vote to ban muslim girls from wearing trousers and only skirts. then we would participate in that vote. I'm not talking about general elections.
He said “ voting is an obligatory “ 🤔 May Allah protect the ummah from this kinda misguiders and corrupted mind. May Allah wake us up upon the understanding of the Quran and Sunnah.
For example Yusuf was the prime minister of misra was it against tawhid to be the prime minister of a non muslim country ruling with rules and system that did not come from Allah ?
@@anxoidenamikaze1551 He had full authority. He did nothing against tawheed. This is actually funny and so sad at the same time. How did they fool you. Read the Surah Yousuf 56-57 verses with tafseer. You ll get what i am tryna say in sha Allah.
My understanding is that at best it’s the lesser of two evils, at worst it’s haram. It’s not fard to vote, so why take part in an evil? When you vote for a party, you are voting for their manifesto, which will include things which are haram ie LGBT rights, etc. Why would you put yourself in such a dangerous situation.
Lesser of two evils is only allowed in severe cases of daruurah (life and death situations). But the basic asl of democracy and voting is that it is clear kufr. This 'shaykh' is saying things that are very dangerous. Didnt bring any reasons as to why the evidences against voting is invalid
(QUR’AN) The command to rule according to what Allaah has revealed: “And so judge between them by what Allaah has revealed . . .” [5: 49] Warning against ruling by other than what Allaah has revealed: “. . . and follow not their vain desires . . .” [5: 49] . but beware of them lest they turn you far away from some of that which Allaah has sent down to you . . .” [5:49] Forbidding seeking the ruling of jaahiliyyah, as is expressed in the rhetorical question “Do they then seek the judgement of (the Days of) Ignorance?” [5:50] The statement that nobody is better than Allaah to judge: “. . . and who is better in judgement than Allaah for a people who have firm Faith?” [5: 50] . . . And whoever does not judge by that which Allaah has revealed, such are the zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)” [5: 45]; “. . . And whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed (then) such (people) are the faasiqoon (rebellious or disobedient).” [5:47]. BUT ALLOWING A MAN TO RULE ABOVE ALLAH (SWT) ALLOWED?

Haitham al-Haddad is in no way a scholar or shaykh. He is clearly misguiding everyone. He speaks so much from himself, and as students of knowledge are taught in the beginning, "Knowledge is what Allah said, the Messenger said and what the companions said." I don't see any knowledge here. Ali Da'wah if you're going to blind follow this man then I fear for you and him, may Allah guide him to the haqq or break his back for misguiding the youth and fighting against the clear-cut evidences from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Ameen.
shaykh alshanqeeti r.a said regarding following kufr system and their laws. Shaykh Muhammad Alamin AlShanqeeti rahimahullah Author of famous Tafseer Adwaa albayan said: "Associating partners with Allah in his rule and associating partners with him in his worship are the same, there is absolutely no difference between them. Whosoever follows a system other than the system of Allah and legislation other than legislation of Allah and a constitution imposed by man which opposes sharia of allah is like the one who worships and prostrates to Idols and there is definitely no difference between them in any shape or form. Therefore, both the matters are the same and both are associating partners with Allah"
My argument is, if democracy means the majority have the say. And according to the Quran, the majority of people are wrongdoers. Then how can democracy be good? ﴿ لَكَانَ خَيۡرً۬ا لَّهُمۚ مِّنۡهُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَأَڪۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقُونَ ﴾ (it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Fasiqun (rebellious).) Peace
There is an international system already in place and there is a national system already in place. Voting is our way as civilians to hold our leaders accountable. It is our way of preventing leaders from abusing their power and oppressing groups.
People of Mecca had a parlement in the time of Prophet saw. They were also voting when they want to pass judgment on a matter. Did Prophet saw join them or deputize them ??? Follow the footsteps of Prophet(عليه الصلاة والسلام) not others !!!
If you believe it's okay under any circumstances to participate in democracy then you haven't understood the concept of Tawheed, and therefore, you were never a muslim. If you understand the concept and you participate anyway, then you have left the fold of Islam.
If you think tawhid is to only put trust on Allah without doing anything you did not understand. Allah want you that you do action and that you put your full trust on him. He is the one he is the one who can change the matter no one else. For example Yusuf was the prime minister of misra was it against tawhid to be the prime minister of a non muslim country ruling with rules and system that did not come from Allah ?
@6:20 minutes Haitham al Haddad to Ali Dawah (IS VOTING PERMISSIBLE?

I think voting is obviously permissible since the holy quran says, " Who (the believers) decide all their collective views through mutual consultation. " Hence democracy is encouraged in Islam while dictatorship is forbidden.
to not vote now, would be to remain silent and thus complacent in the genocide. we have to act and at least vote now. don’t vote for parties who support the genocide. don’t remain silent. vote for a pro palestinian party.

He is saying it is almost obligatory, and saying you must vote. The principle he brought forward was everything is halaal until proven otherwise. Here's a proof to show otherwise: Allaah says: “. . . And whoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, such are the kaafiroon.” [5.44]
Ali Akhi, what if the leader voted for contributes to the killing of Muslims In other lands like Syria and Palestine even though the Muslims in the UK may get slightly better treatment other Muslim blood may potentially be on the Leaders and as a result probably the Voters hands, how it then be obligatory or Waajib to vote, how can that be good? May Allah guide us to do that which is good with him
I'm soooo confused shall I vote or not, some people say it's fine some people say you can't. can someone give me a proper answer. after watching this video I feel as if I will vote but I don't know cause a lot of people are saying it's shirk and you shouldn't.
mangekyoumusa you are wrong, voting in the west is an act of worship. Democracy is a religion and elections is a ritual specific to their dine and the purpose is to choose which taghout you want and by voting you ACCEPT to obey to the taghout that will come to power ! this is shirk akbar and all those you say so are true, however sometimes they don't give proper and clear evidence.
Ali Dawah is being a bit hypocritical. Why not provide fatwa of Sh. Saalih al-Fawzan? and other scholars? Dawah Man - Imran needs to make a video and refute Haitham. This man will misguide several Muslims to vote for shirk and kufr. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!
+Illyria™ Listen brothers and sisters if you simply don't believe in voting and you called it as a shirk then go live in Saudi Arabia because there's no voting there
Ali why do you blindly follow this person and what he says. Akhi ASK FOR EVDENCE. ASK HIM WHAT DID FAWZAN, IBN BAZ, IBN UTHAYMEEN and SULEYMAN RUHEYLI SAY ABOUT VOTING. ALI WALLAHI THIS "SHEIKH" IS NOT FOLLOWING THE SALAF.
Did you not see those who claimed they believed in what was sent down to you and what was sent before you? They wanted to seek judgment using evil, while they were ordered to reject it. It is the tagut who wants to lead them far astray. yusuf ali Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that have come to thee and to those before thee? Their (real) wish is to resort together for judgment (in their disputes) to the Evil One, though they were ordered to reject him. But Satan´s wish is to lead them astray far away (from the right).
This ruling would only make sense if the political system was fair, just, and truly for the people but is it not yet obvious that the political system is only in place to serve certain individuals? How does voting for someone who (perhaps) promises to treat muslims "better" than others, while continuing to pollute, wage war, and abide by unislamic laws make it halal to vote... as muslims we should not only be concerned with the wellbeing of muslims but the wellbeing of all on this earth......... by voting for a system which wages war, does this not put blood on our hands? :(
I agree with that, it is obligatory to vote for people who are able to best represent Muslims views to protect ourselves from evil, especially if we are living as a minority in the West.
Wow, the ignorance and the toxicity is amazing here. Ignoring the opinions of famous scholars such as shaiky Albani and others whilst laying over comfortable colorful pillows is really amazing. And saying about something that might be considered Kufr that it is nearly obligatory is just crazy. Indeed he does have no fear of Allah.
SubhanAllah. I was waiting for mr haitham al hadad to come with rebuttals to the evidences against voting and democracy. But all I heard from him is opinions and sidetracking. Unbelieable how someone can be propped up as a shaykh and then come in public and give outrageuos fatawa. How scary is it that muslims will watch this and then vote and take part in kufr. I waited for a clear response as to why voting isnt giving one of Allah's attributes to creation...i waited for him to explain how the prophet pbuh took part in non muslims politics. I didny get anything. How sad is it that he even went a step ahead and claimed its waajib. SubhanAllah. Be careful where you get your knowledve from
He never gave evidence for why voting is not a form of 'ibadah (@6:20 minutes) and as for giving da'wah not leading to political change even if all the people become Muslims (@10:40 minutes), didn't da'wah to the al-Aus and al-Khazraj groups, whose people as a whole accepted Islam, directly lead to political change as they agreed to allow Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to rule by Allah's laws, in Madinah? Our beloved prophet is a clear example of someone who lived in a society in which Allah's laws were not implemented and he refused to take part in their politics in any way, even though the compromises they offered him (e.g. you rule for one year and we will rule for one year) were far greater than what we can hope to benefit us in the West. Working within Quraysh's system would have stopped the torture, the starvation through the 3 year boycott and the need for people to emigrate. However, the early Muslims bore all that with patience and only implemented Allah's laws outside of the the kufr system.
I'll say it again, fear Allah!! I'm not angry, rather worried that my brothers and sisters are attacking each other and what you're saying makes me a Mushrik which will go down in your book as takfir for a brother of yours, so I'll repeat fear Allah.
voting is not major shirk except for the one who says ruling on other than Allah's ruling is halal. As for the one who says lesser evil or makes an interpretation to vote then in this case this person has falling into haraam not in major shirk or kufr Akbar major disbelieve this is the statement of ahlu Sunna wal jama3a.
I am so confused to be honest 😂 this so called "sheikh" didn't even bring any evidence to the table La hawla wala quwata illa billah absolutely lost for words.

Implement the Qu'ran and the hadeeth's in your life and trust in Allah swt only, we are in the era of misguided (fake) scholars Allahu A'lem, if someone can't provide the proper dalil about the issue then rejects everything he says, because this shaykh is talking about 'common sense' 'i feel like' 'you don't want to get laughed at' etc, like really?? these are mind games to trick you into following him and his lies. Allahu A'lem. The only thing that we should obey by is that we live accordingly to the Qu'ran and the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (saw) May Allah swt protect us against these occuring fitna's.

All these people saying he is a kufr and clueless. Remember, this guy is a SHEIKH, he has studied Islam for so so many years. Get to the level of knowledge he has before labelling him as wrong or kufr.
What has his study for ' so many years' have to do with him being wrong on the subject? if you try to legislate an act of kufr because you think its 'common sense'' or 'logical' its first of all haram and creating a fitna, then why should you look at how many years he has studied? even that if you have studied so many years then you would at least give some true advice reffering to the Qu'ran or the Sunnah of our Prophet (saw), wich he didn't. before following people blindly try reading and searching the truth self, Allah swt has sended down the Qu'ran not to follow others, subhanAllah. may Allah swt guide you.
my goodness me, what is this "Sheikh" saying???? how is he going to answer Allah...... calling people to law other than that set by Allah is clear Shirk.
