Comment –
SubhanAllah! We know Bangladesh is a muslim dominated, muslim majority country, the brutal oppression we are seeing right now is imposed by the Prime Minister who is a “muslim woman”, the police which is unleashing the devilish violence are muslim themselves. In a nutshell, muslims oppressing their own brethren. It is noteworthy that it is not confined to quota protests only, the oppression is evident, and quite prevalent in Bangladesh too.
We need to understand that whenever we are in a non muslim majority country, many of us comes with an argument that muslims should come into the current politics so that we can have a voice and say, but we need to understand that it is a fallacious argument that muslims should come into ruling positions of the present political system (which is ruling by taghoot) to represent muslims in Parliament or to safeguard their interests, it is not just about a muslim name in the ruling position, it is about the system which makes one a tyrant to unprecedented levels. It is about taghoot (a system which is not from Allah Al-Hakam). From Bangladesh to Pakistan, the case study is quite strong to realise the haqq clearly that having muslim names in the Parliament is not the solution, having muslim names doing the siyaasah (politics) by taghoot will not solve the problems, it will not safeguard the interests of the common people, it will infact safeguard the interests of the elites, of the capitalists, all in the name of greater good even if it means torturing and torment to death.
Siyaasah is sunnah, and in Islam siyaasah means ruling by what Allah Al-Hakam has revealed which unfortunately no muslim land is ruling by in present world.
May Allah Al-Hafeez protect all muslims around the world.
Ameen.
