It is time that we come out of this " Fantasy world" ...Face the reality. THERE IS NO STRUCTURE OF ANY KIND OF ELECTORAL SYSTEM IN ISLAM. How Khalifa will be elected? Our whole FANTASY WORLD collapses on this question. There is total Monarchy in Muslim history.
ISLAM has left it open for Muslims of all ages to decide themselves according to needs and requirements of their ages. No doubt, general Principles and guidelines are present in ISLAM.
