Dear Fellas,
I have started this thread to have a healthy and constructive debate about the notion of democracy.
According to Islamic point of view, "all powers are rested with ALLAH" in contrast to modern democratic notion which says "Source of Legitimate power are people".
In my opinion, this is the root cause of all evil. When rulers think of themselves as answerable to the people, they try to be-fool them. human beings are egoistic. They don't like to be answerable to the humans like them. Situation becomes even more worse when the people to whom you seems to be answerable are in worst condition, depended on your decisions and you are apparently in control of their fate. so you abhore this situation as a leader and make the way around with all this situation using it in your own best interest just like all modern day rulers do.
However, when you think yourself answerable to an authority which is so powerfull and absolute, things change from the base. You are answerable to the authority who has the absolute power, creator of you and this whole universe. This idea transform everything.
Please argue in favour or against it.
