Jamhooriat aur Islam - Dr Israr Ahmad
Dr. Israr Ahmad addresses the apparent contradiction in his support for democracy while also criticizing it as a non-Islamic system. He clarifies that while democracy is not equivalent to Islam, it is preferable to military rule (Marsallah) for Pakistan until an Islamic revolution can establish a truly Islamic government. He explains that a revolutionary movement, even with a minority base, is necessary to enact meaningful change, as elections favor existing power structures and do not guarantee Islamic principles. He emphasizes that until that revolution occurs, democracy should continue to function as the lesser of two evils, despite his lack of personal participation in the electoral process. He stresses the importance of *shura* (consultation) within an Islamic framework and clarifies his vision of Islamic democracy, where divine guidance takes precedence, but decisions are made through mutual consultation.
