The Ruling on Democracy, Multi-Party Pluralism, and Liberalism

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on democracy, the call for multi-party pluralism, or modern Islamic liberalism?

Answer:
As I told you, we have a religion and we have a Shari'ah, and Allah has made us self-sufficient through it from all the people of the earth. So why do we turn away from it and go to democracy, secularism, liberalism, and the like? We are Muslims, we are Muslims, we are Muslims. And Islam contains justice, it contains goodness, and it contains all the meanings of righteousness and reform. Yes.
