The questioner : I have a question about the elections in Jordan, if the Shaykh would like to comment on them.
Another questioner: Do not record, my brother.
The questioner : We do not record this?
Another questioner: I do not know about the Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, do not record.
The questioner : If the Shaykh does not give permission!
Another questioner: Do we record?
The Shaykh : Record.
The questioner : Regarding the victory of the Islamic current, some are optimistic, while others say: It is not possible that there will be any benefit. We would like a comment from the Shaykh on this plague, if possible?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own selves and from the badness of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, there is no one who can misguide him, and whomsoever He misguides, there is no one who can guide him. And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
As for what follows:
As for the elections that took place in Jordan, I am among those who do not see that there will be any notable benefit behind them. Because, according to my methodology and logic, the Islamic society cannot rise, and its glory, strength, and majesty cannot return to it, while it remains as it is as a nation, or at least as a people, distant from understanding Islam correctly based on the Book, the Sunnah, and the methodology of our righteous predecessors first, and then distant from applying this correct Islam in its broadest meanings in individuals, homes, and groups, with the state at their head, which must also be based on the Book of Allah, the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah, and our righteous predecessors. There is no doubt that there is an Islamic awakening in general, which varies from place to place, but this awakening is still in its beginning, like a sleeper who has woken up and is now preparing to work, but he does not know how to work, because he had not prepared himself for future work in a way that pleases Allah and His Messenger. Added to this is the possibility that this awakening is exploited politically to justify or pass certain political issues that some rulers may be forced to agree to, so that there is a subtle policy so that the implementation of that policy is not adopted by individuals from among the rulers, but rather that matter is implemented in the name of the people. Therefore, the ways were facilitated for the Islamic scale to tip in the elections that took place or may take place in other countries to pass the premeditated plan for implementation. This is my belief in this matter.
