Is it permissible to publish a topic that includes a question about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, being nominated for the presidency of the republic, and whether he would be elected?
It is not permissible to publish or circulate this discourse except to highlight its falsehood. The specious argument raised by this fabricated dialogue is the impermissibility of mixing religion with politics, that the assumption of governance by religious scholars diminishes their stature, and that religion must be isolated from politics to preserve its sanctity. This logic promotes blatant falsehood and resembles the logic of some Arab polytheists. Every Muslim must know that Allah Almighty sent His Messenger to establish His religion on earth and commanded him to rule among people according to His law, and this is one of the most honorable tasks. This claimant's assertion that Allah did not独占 sovereignty is a clear repudiation of the Holy Quran. Deviating from His law to what limited intellects dictate is contrary to both reason and texts. A ruler who is close to the Sharia and applies its rulings is more beneficial to the subjects. Placing the Islamic and Christian religious states in the same category is a fallacy, for in the Islamic one, the ruler has rights and duties, and Muslims hold their rulers accountable and advise them. The Islamic ruler is not a shadow of Allah on earth. Publishing this discourse without highlighting the errors and deceptions it contains is one of the greatest abominations.
