Ruling System: Appointment of the Ruler

Khilafah Khaleefah must have seven conditions · Muslim · Sane · Free · Male · Mature (Baligh) · Adl (opposite of fasiq) · Is capable of ruling (Qadir) The Khaleefah is appointed either by the people directly or through their representatives

Democracy The ruler should have qualification as pronounced by article 62 & 63 of the constitution · Muslim · Mature · Graduate · Good Muslim etc. People elect the parliament which in turn elects the Prime Minister through voting

Ruling System: Law making - the actual cause of corruption

Khilafah · Political system gets cleaned from corrupt people · The representatives cannot use the system to cover up their corruption by legislating laws for their own interests. · “Professional politicians” find no reason to invest millions as the job of the representative is to be serving the Ummah rather than a source of money making and exerting power.

Democracy · Corrupt people are attracted towards politics like bees towards nectar. · The process of law making gives parliamentarians the authority to make laws to not only protect their interests rather legitimize their corruption. · “Professional politicians” invest millions of rupees in elections and rear “Gangs”, to keep sincere people out of the political arena.

· Once in power, the corrupt entourage of these “Professional Politicians” i.e. the local “Gangs” become untouchables, free to take “bribes” and kidnap for ransom

· Hence democracy is the actual source of corruption in the society. It starts from the politicians at the top and goes all they way to the bottom with local “Gangs” who have the protection and backing of these politicians and Govt. institutions

Ruling System: Political Environment

Khilafah · Islam obliges every individual to be politically aware. This produces a political environment which keeps the ruler in check. · It is achieved through following means Multiple Political parties Media Education system. · Nobody is barred from political activity. · Nobody is allowed to make parties or organizations from basis other than Islam.

Democracy · In democracy one is not obliged to be politically aware. · Certain cross-sections are prohibited from participating in Politics o All civil servants o Students o Teachers

Ruling System: Rules regarding Political Parties

Khilafah · No permission required to establish political parties, rather it is Fard Kafaya to establish it. · There is no such thing as ruling party or opposition party. · Every political party gives allegiance to the Khaleefah and is required to obey him in private and public as long as he rules by Islam. · Every party has the right to voice her opinion and work to build public opinion for it. · It is obligated (Fard) for every political party to account the ruler and build awareness and build public opinion against the unjust acts of the ruler. · Political parties are not allowed to destabilize or weaken the authority of the Khaleefah as long as he is implementing Islam. · Political parties are responsible in maintaining public opinion for the implementation of Islam and strengthening the system.

Democracy · There is a ruling party/coalition and an opposition. · The opposition works to remove the government through constitutional means i.e. No-confidence vote, or extra-constitutional means like agitation, civil disobedience, strikes. · Political party may account the ruler or chose to keep quiet under the principal of “freedom of expression.”
