However, Islam, as an ideology, remained existent universally after the destruction of its state, the 'Uthmani Khilafah, in 1924 CE, because the Islamic Ummah with all her different peoples continued to embrace this ideology despite the fact that it was removed from their practical lives and from the international sphere.

It should be perfectly clear that the Qur’an is only authentic in its original
language,Arabic. Since perfect translation of the Qur’an is impossible, we
have used the translation of the meaning of the Qur’an’ throughout the
book, as the result is only a crude meaning of the Arabic text.
Qur’anic Ayat and transliterated

these motives the principle motive behind this campaign is the 10
potential threat from the Islamic Ummah against the interests of the 11

West, and its international influence as well as upon its very existence a number of pillars. 12
once the Islamic Ummah wakes up, revives, and carries her message 13
to the world. 14
The first pillar: Its international weight and influence in the Islamic 15
world, particularly after the second Gulf War policy which resulted in 16
the consolidation of her influence in the whole Islamic region. Due to 17
this weight and influence the existing states in the Islamic world 18
became more compliant to American pressure and plans aimed at 19
suppressing Islam by forcing Muslims to embrace Capitalism. 20
21
The second pillar: While America is the leader of the Capitalist states, 22
she ensures that others participate in this campaign. She uses their 23
influence and their agents to guarantee the success of this campaign 24
in the whole Islamic world particularly as these states do not differ 25
from America in viewing Islam as a threat to them, to their proper 26
influence and interests. 27
28
The third pillar: The international law, and its tools represented by 29
the UN, its charter and its other sub-organisations and institutions 30
which America employs to implement its plans and cover with the 31
international law.And the measures which it deems necessary to take, 32
whether these measures are political, economic, military or other. 33
34
The fourth pillar: The world media dominated by America and her 35
allies, which is used as one of the most deadly weapons in its 36
campaign by using them to propagate its slogans.The media is used to 37
distort the image of Islam and to incite the world against those who 38
adhere to it, portraying them as fundamentalists, zealots, extremists 39

The four slogans of this campaign are democracy, pluralism, human 11

their like implement. Democracy, for those who embrace it, 13
means that people rule themselves by themselves with the systems 14
that they choose. Oftentimes, Capitalists refer to their system as "The 15
Democratic System", but such a connotation is incorrect for more 16
than one reason: Democracy was not innovated by the Capitalists but 17
had been preceded by the Greeks. Moreover, they were not the only 18
ones who implemented it; the Marxist-Socialists claimed that they 19
were democrats and they consistently pretended that they 20
implemented democracy. 21
22
The most important element of democracy is that it makes the 23
human being and not the Creator as the legislator, which is logical 24
for those who call for the detachment of religion from life because this 25
detachment means to transfer the right to legislate from the Creator 26
to the human being. The Capitalists, in this issue did not discuss 27
whether the Creator has obliged man to follow a certain law and 28
implement it in his life, nor did they even examine this issue at all, 29
rather they appointed man as the legislator without any discussion. 30
31
For Muslims to adopt democracy means to disbelieve in all - may 32
Allah forbid - the decisive and conclusive evidences, among which 33
are many Qur'anic verses which oblige them to follow the law of Allah 34
and to reject any other law. Moreover, these verses consider any 35
one of them who does not follow or implement the law of Allah as 36
either a Kaafir, a Zalim, or a Fasiq, 37
38
39

9. 16 v The American Campaign to Suppress Islam Democracy v 17
The remaining claims of democracy have no actual reality, the claim 1
that people rule themselves by themselves is a major fallacy. In all 2
Capitalist Democratic societies, people do not rule themselves by 3
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are themselves, because this is a fanciful idea. In reality, people are ruled 4
non-believers (Kaafiroon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 44] by a certain group of influential people, such as the prominent 5
Capitalists in the United States and the aristocrats in England, which 6
are two of the most deeply-rooted Capitalist Democratic countries. 7
These influential groups in the Capitalist countries hold the necessary 8
means to bring whoever they want into the government and 9
legislative assemblies (parliaments) so that the laws which are passed 10
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are and those charged with their implementation would be serving their 11
oppressors (zalimoon)." [TMQ AL-Ma'idah: 45] interests. 12
13
Regarding what is claimed about equality, justice, and accountability 14
of the rulers, these are all theoretical, without any compatibility with 15
reality. It is enough for one to look to America, the leader of the 16
democratic world, to find that equality, justice, and accountability are 17
"And those who do not rule by whatever Allah has revealed are all selective, enjoyed and practiced by those who have a particular 18

Thus, whoever does not rule by whatever Allah has revealed, Protestant, and those who are not from Western European 21
denying Allah 's right to legislate, as is the case with those who backgrounds is evidence enough that what is claimed of democracy 22
believe in democracy, is a Kaafir according to the explicit words of the is - despite some exceptional cases - merely theory. Consequently, it is 23
Qur'an, because by doing so he is rejecting those decisive verses, and not allowed for a Muslim to accept democracy, because it is Kufr and 24
denying a conclusive text makes a person a Kaafir as the Muslim gives man what is entitled exclusively for the Creator. It is obligatory 25
Fuqaha' agreed unanimously. upon every Muslim to reject it and to challenge all those who 26
propagate it. 27
The Kaafiroon and their agents who rule the Muslim countries, as 28
well as all those who call for democracy who are counted from among 29
the Muslims, whether they are individuals or movements, realise that 30
the basis for democracy is the rejection of the law of Allah and 31
putting man in the place of the Creator. For this reason, they do not 32
present democracy from this perspective, but instead claim that 33
democracy means people ruling themselves by themselves, with 34
equality and justice prevailing among the people, and the 35
accountability of the ruler guaranteed.Although democracy explicitly 36
implies the rejection of the laws of Allah and following the law of 37
His creation, the advocates of democracy intentionally avoid 38
addressing the issue of rejecting the law of Allah . 39

which Allah prohibits, such as sexual perversion, adultery, to

Therefore, a Muslim cannot accept both the pluralism which

has prohibited. A matter which is unacceptable for anyone who 9

result of their view of society, which they view to be 12
composed of individuals who have various beliefs, opinions, 13
interests, needs, and backgrounds. For this reason, they see that it is 14
inevitable to have different groups in the society, each with their own 15
goals that must be represented by a party, a movement, or an 16
organisation. These should all be recognised and allowed political 17
participation. So they view pluralism as being contradictory to the 18
one-group or one party system. However, this pluralism exists only 19
within the framework of the Capitalist system. There is no place in 20
Capitalist societies for a group or party which does not believe in the 21
Capitalist ideology or which works to undermine the existing 22
Capitalist system. 23
24
From this perspective, that is to say, multiple parties within or based 25
on the same doctrine and in the same framework of one system, Islam 26
has its own multiplicity which is different from that claimed by the 27
Capitalists. Islam allows the multiplicity of parties and movements 28
which are established on the Islamic ‘Aqeedah and do not work to 29
undermine its system, as long as their opinions are Islamic i.e. emanate 30
from the Islamic doctrine, or built on its basis. However, the 31
permissibility of multiple parties in Islam does not mean that Islam 32
permits pluralism based upon the Capitalist understanding as called 33
for by America and the West.The Capitalist pluralism emanates from 34
the Capitalist doctrine of detachment of religion from worldly life. 35
So, according to the Capitalist pluralism, it is allowed to establish 36
parties and movements to call for a Kufr doctrine or idea, such as the 37
doctrine of detachment of religion from life, or to be established on a 38
basis prohibited by Islam, such as patriotic and nationalist parties. 39

man's inheritance of Adam's sin.The correct view of man's nature is

Human Rights that he has organic needs which have to be satisfied. Owing to the
mind bestowed upon him by Allah , he acquired the will to choose
the way by which he satisfies his instincts and organic needs. If he
satisfies them correctly, he will have done good, but if he satisfies
3
4
5
6
them incorrectly or abnormally, he will have done bad. Thus man 7
inherently is ready to do both good or bad, and he is the one who 8
chooses the good or bad by his own will.This is the view that Islam 9
adopts and which Allah ta'ala explained in His words, 10

T
he third slogan that America and the West calls for and strives
to force Muslims to adopt is "human rights". Many Muslims 12
are attracted to this slogan because of the oppression, torture, 13
and persecution they suffer from their rulers.The origin of these rights 14
is the Capitalist ideology's view of the nature of man, the relationship "And a soul and what made it so. He (Allah) inspired in it its 15
between the individual and the group, the reality of society, and the evil and righteousness." [TMQ Ash-Shams: 7-8] 16
function of the state. In its view of the nature of man, this principle 17
conceives man as inherently good and not bad, and that any evil that 18
is committed by man is a result of restricting his will. For this reason, 19
the Capitalists call for freeing mans will in order to express his good "And We guided him to both ways." [TMQ Al-Balad: 10] 20
nature. From this perspective, the concept of "freedom" emanated 21
and became the most prominent idea in the Capitalist ideology.The 22
Capitalists also claim that the relationship between the individual and 23
the community is incompatible. Hence, the individual must be "We guided him to the way so he is either thankful or ungrateful." 24

15
In summary the view of the Capitalist ideology towards the nature 16
of the human being, the individual's relationship with the community 17
which he belongs to and the society in which he lives, and the role of 18
the state in securing and protecting the individuals interests, made it 19
(the Capitalist ideology) call to secure four kinds of individual liberty: 20
freedom of belief, freedom of expression, freedom of ownership, and 21
the personal freedom.These freedoms are the basis from which the 22
human rights emanate, and they are the components of the 23

Furthermore, the Capitalist claim, that society is composed of 33
nothing more than a summation of individuals who live in it, is by no 34

Therefore, freedom of belief does not exist for Muslims because

they are obliged to embrace the Islamic ‘Aqeedah. It is not allowed for 7

religion and thought. Furthermore, he has the right to change religion which Capitalists call for. Consequently, he is obliged to reject 13
his religion, or he has the right not to believe in any religion at all. it and to challenge anyone who calls for it. 14
Some of the "trumpets of the Kuffar" who are counted from the 15
Muslims claim that the freedom of belief that the Capitalists call for 16
does not contradict Islam.They support their claim by the words of 17
the Qur'an, 18

They intentionally ignore the subject matter of these two texts; the 31
address in both of them is limited to the non-believers. Muslims cannot 32
force the non-believer to believe in Islam, and the non-believers can 33
accept Islam or reject it, as individuals, so Muslims should not force 34
them to believe in Islam. Such rules do not apply to Muslims because 35
they have no option after embracing Islam to disbelieve in it and to 36
renounce it.The rule regarding the Muslim who becomes apostate is 37
to require his repentance. If he insists on his disbelief, the capital 38

The Prophet said, 31
In spite of the suffering imposed upon the Muslims - the oppression 32
of the rulers, their tyranny, and their transgression against the limits of 33
Allah , they are not allowed to accept what displeases Allah . 34
35
Freedom of expression for the Capitalists is not simply confined to 36
the accountability of the rulers, or criticising the behaviour of 37
politicians and others, but it also includes the freedom to openly "The master of Shuhada is Hamzah ibn 'Abdul-Muttalib and a man 38
proclaim Kufr, deny the existence of Allah , and to call for any idea who challenges an oppressive ruler, ordered him (to do good) and 39

However, it is not allowed for a Muslim to express any opinion that
contradicts Islam, whether regarding the Islamic creed or anything
emanating from it. Accordingly, he is not allowed to call for the

or a Kufr principle like Capitalism or Socialism, or indeed any idea that Ownership 7
contradicts Islam. Therefore, it is not allowed for Muslims to adopt 8
the freedom of opinion which the Capitalists call for. Everything that 9
is initiated by a Muslim should be confined by the Shar’a.The Prophet 10
said, 11
B
ased on the Capitalist thought, freedom of ownership implies
that man has the right to own anything by any means and to 12
do whatever he wants with what he owns.The only condition 13
is that he does not transgress against the rights of others, which are 14
"Whoever believes in Allah and in the Hereafter, let him say good or defined as such by the Capitalists.According to this definition, man has 15
refrain from saying anything." the right to possess anything, whether Allah has allowed it or not, 16
and he has the right to do whatever he wishes with what he owns, 17
The "good" referred to in the Hadith is Islam, or what Islam whether he acts according to Allah 's commands or not. 18
approves of. Islam forbids Muslims to even show any inclination 19
toward what contradicts Islam because the Prophet said, According to this type of freedom, an individual can possess public 20
property such as oil wells, mineral mines (which is considered like 21
inexhaustible water springs), sea shores and rivers, and water which 22
is needed by the community, etc. Also, he has the right to possess 23
"You are not considered a (true) believer until your desires are items that Allah allowed, such as a house, a garden, a shop, or a 24
according to what I came with." factory, as well as possessing things that Allah prohibited, such as a 25
pub, a bank dealing in usury, a pig farm, a brothel, or a casino, etc. 26
Furthermore, according to this freedom, man has the right to earn 27
money and invest it through allowed means like inheritance, gifts, 28
business, hunting, agriculture, and manufacturing as well as through 29
forbidden means like gambling, usury, trade in alcohol, or drugs, and 30
many other prohibited means. 31
32
It's clear that freedom of ownership as such contradicts Islam and 33
is therefore forbidden for the Muslims to accept.As a result of adopting 34
freedom of ownership, the Capitalist societies suffer from innumerable 35
diseases. Immorality, organised crime, selfishness, and love of oneself 36
at the expense of others have become established norms. Deadly 37
diseases, crime, deterioration of the social fabric including the family, 38
and epidemic social problems, have spread as a result of promoting 39

As a result of this kind of freedom, wealth is concentrated in the

private lives of other people. He has the right to marry or to have an 15
extra-marital relationship with any woman as long as it is done with 16
her consent. He has the right to practice sexual perversion as long as 17
this practice does not involve a minor. Also, he has the right to eat, 18
drink and wear whatever he wants within the public laws. For these 19
Capitalists, the concept of Halal and Haram does not exist when it 20
comes to personal conduct, as long as the person behaves lawfully, and 21
"lawful behaviour" in the Capitalist societies is subject to disparity 22
from one society to another and from one time to another. 23
24
Religion has no influence upon this freedom.The system is detached 25
from religion according to the Capitalist ideology. As a result of 26
applying this type of freedom in the Capitalist societies, immorality has 27
spread. Men and women live together without any legal relationship, 28
and even men and women have partners of the same sex and establish 29
abnormal relationships amongst themselves under the protection of 30
the law. The personal and sexual perversions that prevail in the 31
Capitalist societies result from personal freedom which has also led to 32
unbelievable conflicts. Pornographic magazines and movies, sex phone 33
lines, and nude bars are just a few examples of the abnormalities and 34
perversions which the Capitalist societies have degenerated to as a 35
result of personal freedom. The evident disparity between one 36
Capitalist society and another in the practice of this freedom results 37
from the origin of the Capitalist societies and their gradual application 38
of the Capitalist ideology. 39
