Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are those who prefer man-made systems like democracy and socialism over Islam considered disbelievers?
Answer:
And you doubt this? The one who says that democracy, liberalism, and Marxism are better than Islam or equal to Islam is undoubtedly a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that, and praise be to Allah. Now, Allah has made some of the liberals rule over others, so they are refuting one another now, and this is from Allah’s victory for the truth, and praise be to Allah.
