The light that was extinguished :
Wasn’t it astonishing knowing there are a few constitutions among the Muslim-majority countries those who mentioned that ‘the state would be governed by the Shariah Law’ or the wordings with similar meanings in their constitutions?
Well, at least it was for us! It was amazing to know those lands existed. At least, knowing that there are lands that can officially be regarded as the ‘lands of Islam‘.
But soon the amazement turned to despair!
Subhanallah!
What a heartbreaking fact it is when you see a country explicitly mention in its constitution that there will be no laws against the Quran and Sunnah yet they followed the Kuffar’s Deen by adopting the format of the ‘Majority’ component of democracy.
Though they followed democracy, they didn’t declare ‘sovereignty to the people’*, meaning, they didn’t intend to make their own laws or any laws against the Shairah but for the sake of collective opinions, they followed the form of democracy, the ‘majority’ component of the democracy.
Thus there is a clear line of deviation here from Allah’s Deen, from Allah’s Shariah which is that they applied the format of democracy to rule by Allah’s Shariah.

For the confused ones:
One may question,
What’s wrong in applying the format of democracy if they rule the country by Allah’s Shariah?
The answer is that in democracy it is obligatory to follow the majority while in Islam it is not. Therefore, to make something obligatory on Muslims which originated from the Kuffar’s system/ Kuffar’s ways is clearly following the Kuffar’s Deen.
You can say, this protects the Ameer from becoming a dictator while a decision based on majority opinion is safer.
We say,
(1) Allah’s Shariah did not make it obligatory for Muslims to follow the majority, rather it came from the ‘Shariah of the Kuffar’.
(2) We don’t go by what is logical, convenient and safer when it goes against our Deen.
(3) Therefore, applying this majority ruling on Muslim affairs by following the ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’ is clearly Haram.
The question is, can we call it Kufr?
We say we would evaluate it to the extent what is understood by the Hadith of Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam where He said, (narrated by ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Umar)
“Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
(Narrated by Abu Dawud, 3512; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Irwa al-Ghalil, 2691)
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah Rahimullah said:
“This at the very least indicates that it is Haram to imitate them, although the apparent meaning is that the one who imitates them is a Kafir.”
(Iqtida al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, 237)
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/45200/ruling-on-imitating-the-disbelievers
Based on this, we say a Muslim MUST REJECT the format of democracy which is clearly Haram and Kufr even though the intention is to rule by Allah’s Shariah.
And Allah knows best.
May Allah give them the strength to discard the aspect of democracy from their constitutions.
May Allah make these lands a true Islamic land.

So, who are those Muslim-majority countries?
Here is the list:
Pakistan (96% Muslim)
Somalia (99%)
The Maldives (98%)
Subhanallah! Based on our research on the official status according to the constitutions, we found that these countries are the second-best countries among all the 52 Muslim-majority countries/ lands in the world.

So, let’s see what these constitutions say about Allah’s Shariah:
Pakistan:
Article 227:
“All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the Injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and Sunnah, in this part referred to as the Injunctions of Islam, and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such Injunctions.”
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/constitution/part9.html
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018
The Amendment of Constitution 18th June 1991
Article 3.
Supremacy of Shari’ah.
(l)
“The Shari’ah that is to say the Injunctions of Islam as laid in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah, shall be the supreme law of Pakistan.”
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html
The Zina Ordinance (also referred to as the Zina laws) is part of the Hadood Ordinances, promulgated in 1979 by General Zia-ul-Haq, President of Pakistan as a first step towards implementing Shariah Law.
The text states:
“Whereas it is necessary to modify the existing law relating to Zina so as to bring it in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as set out in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah”.
https://www.pakistani.org/pakistan/legislation/1991/actXof1991.html
Somalia:
Article 2.3:
“No law which is not compliant with the general principles of Shari’ah can be enacted.”
Article 3. Founding Principles
3.1
“The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia is based on the foundations of the Holy Quran and the Sunna of our prophet Mohamed (PBUH) and protects the higher objectives of Shari’ah and social justice.”
The Maldives:
Article 10:
“No law contrary to any tenet of Islam shall be enacted in the Maldives”
Article 70. Legislative authority:
c. “The People’s Majlis shall not pass any law that contravenes any tenet of Islam.”
(5)
And what do their constitutions state about adopting democracy?
Pakistan:
The democratic process of election and legislation is described all over the places in the constitution of Pakistan under those particular aspects. One may read from here:
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Pakistan_2018
Somalia:
Article 1.1
“Somalia is a federal, sovereign, and democratic republic founded on inclusive representation of the people and a multiparty system and social justice.”
The Maldives:
The case of the Maldives is different from that of Pakistan and Somalia.
They have not only adopted democracy but also attributed ‘sovereignty to its people’.
Sovereignty:
Article 4. Powers of the citizens
“All the powers of the State of the Maldives are derived from, and remain with, the citizens.”
Article 5. Legislative power:
“All legislative power in the Maldives is vested in the People’s Majlis.”
Democracy:
Article 87. Voting
“Unless otherwise provided in this Constitution, all decisions of the People’s Majlis shall be decided by a majority of votes of the members present and voting.”
Therefore, the Maldives is already been on the list of 24 Muslim-majority countries those who attributed sovereignty to people that fall under the category of ‘Land of Kufr’ that we mentioned in the previous article here:

Somalia: https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Somalia_2012

The Fatwa regarding the majority in democracy is Kufr:
The Fatwa regarding this from Islamqa.info which runs under the supervision of Sheikh Muhammad Saleh Al-Munazzid, Hafizullah:
“By examining this topic (referencing all Shariah sources, mentioned in the link below) from different angles, it becomes clear that what is counted as KUFR AKBAR is the following”:
“Discussing Sharee‘ah in parliament and voting on it; this indicates that implementing sharee‘ah is conditional upon a majority vote.”
And Allah knows best.
May Allah make it beneficial.
May Allah set us in a land where we will be able to safeguard our Deen and Dunya and safeguard our generations from following Kuffar’s Deen and obeying ‘Kuffar’s Shariah’.
May Allah forgive our sins.
May Allah make our Hijrah easy.
