It is not against the Sharia to elect and choose leaders of our own free will, we are allowed to consult one another and debate things that affect the Islamic community. What you are saying sounds rather too literal and kind of an extreme way of thinking brother. How do you think the first Caliphs of this Ummah were chosen? Through election between the companions of the Prophet SAW.
Democracy is a system that is contrary to Islam, because it gives the power of legislation to the people or to those who represent them (such as members of Parliament). Based on that, in democracy legislative authority is given to someone other than Allah, may He be exalted; rather it is given to the people and their deputies, and what matters is not their consensus but the majority. Thus what the majority agree upon becomes laws that are binding on the nation, even if it is contrary to common sense, religious teaching or reason. In these systems legislation has been promulgated allowing abortion, same-sex marriage and usurious interest (riba); the rulings of sharee‘ah have been abolished; and fornication/adultery and the drinking of alcohol are permitted. In fact this system is at war with Islam and its followers.
Allah, may He be exalted, has told us in the His Book that legislative authority belongs to Him alone, and that He is the wisest of those who issue rulings and judge. He has forbidden the association of anyone with Him in His authority, and no one is better than Him in ruling.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“So the judgement is only with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great!”
Ghaafir 40:12
“The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism), that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not”
Yoosuf 12:40
“Is not Allah the Best of judges?”
at-Teen 95:8
“Say: ‘Allah knows best how long they stayed. With Him is (the knowledge of) the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How clearly He sees, and hears (everything)! They have no Walee (Helper, Disposer of affairs, Protector, etc.) other than Him, and He makes none to share in His Decision and His Rule’”
al-Kahf 18:26
“Do they then seek the judgement of (the Days of) Ignorance? And who is better in judgement than Allah for a people who have firm Faith?”
al-Maa’idah 5:50]
We sent to every Ummah a messenger to command the people to submit to Allah exclusively and to reject Taghoot’.
16:36.
“Whoever rejects Taghoot and believes in Allah then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold.”
al Baqarah 2:256
The rule hukm is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him, that is the Straight Deen but most men know not.”
al Yusuf 12:40
‘Allah does not forgive Shirk or to associate with Him anything, but forgives less than that to whomever He wills’
an Nisaa’ 4:48
“Have you seen those who claim that they believe in that which was sent down to you and before you and
they wish to go for judgement to the Taghoot while they have been commanded to reject them? But Shaytaan wishes to lead them far astray. And when it is said to them ‘Come to what Allah has sent down and to the messenger’ you see the munaafiqeen turn away from you with aversion. How then when a catastrophe befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth they come to you swearing by Allah, ‘We meant nothing more than goodwill and conciliation’.”
an Nisaa’ 4:60-62
Need i say more.. ??
No brother The first calif was choosen through Shura...Shura is not elections, this is an apointment by those of highers knowledge in Islam to choose the one who will lead the muslims. Elections (democracy) is By the people for the people. Where do you find Allah in this phrase ? So if people want homosexually to be legal even if it goes against shariah then this is tghe rule of the people.. contrary to the rule of allah.. this is Shirk.. So no, we do not have free will to choose whoever we want to rule in Shariah. Big difference...
