Disadvantages of democracy
Since democracy is the political practice of the content of the theory of sovereignty
Its basic evil, then, is that it is devoted to polytheism in governance
What we have shown is that it is necessary to say and believe in the theory of sovereignty
Where democrats flee from the worship of rulers and popes to the worship of peoples and parliaments
It is a tyranny practiced in the name of the divine right of the Church and the rulers
To another tyranny practiced in the name of the divine right of peoples and parliaments
We now hear expressions such as the rule of law instead of the rule of law
There is no crime or punishment except by law, instead of what is forbidden by what is forbidden by Sharia law
What is permissible is what the Sharia has made permissible, and that is enough of the greatest evil to disbelieve in democracy
In addition to this, the main evil in the democratic system
Democratic thinkers themselves enumerated other drawbacks of democracy
Firstly, it is not the rule of the majority in reality
Because most people refrain from elections and do not participate in them
This is also indicated by the voting rates in the elections
Secondly, capital owners are the real controllers of the democratic system
Because they control the media, which needs their money
The media is what shapes public opinion
Even with false news, analysis, and false propaganda
Thus, the opinion and judgment of the majority are not truth
But for those with money
In order to achieve their interests and strengthen their political influence
Third
The democratic system is based on political parties
They are parties that differ in thought and approach
A difference that leads to bickering and conflict among themselves
Instead of cooperation and collaboration to achieve the interests of the country and its people
Fourth
The principle of equality in electoral votes and referendums
There is no distinction between the voice of someone with experience, sound opinion, and academic qualifications
The voice of the common people is limited in thought and opinion
Which deprives the nation of effectively benefiting from the opinion of these qualified experts
To influence events
While the Shura system is achieved in Islam
The greatest benefit is from the experiences of those who are called the people of solution and contract
Fifth
Studies have shown that the average lifespan of governments in democratic systems is half a century
Not more than eight months
And that's a short period
It does not enable any government to implement its reform and development plans and programmes
