Do Salafists or Wahhabists not believe in the civil state, the democratic system, or the national flag?
The religion of Islam is the religion Allah has chosen for His servants, and it clarifies all good. As for the terms "democracy" and "civil state," they are neither entirely accepted nor entirely rejected. They contain acceptable aspects, such as the right of the nation to choose its ruler, and aspects that are religiously rejected, such as giving the people the right to legislate laws that contradict Allah's حكم (ruling/judgment). It is also not true that Salafis reject democracy entirely. A Muslim should be aware of the smear campaigns directed at those who call for the implementation of Allah's . A Muslim should not fall for media deceptions; rather, they must know that the implementation of Allah's Sharia is an obligation, not an option.
