Imamat 1 - Chp 3

A Democracy is the government OF the people, BY the people and FOR the people

In Islam, Laws are made by Allah. People have no say in legislation, they are only required to follow.

"And it behoves not a believing man and a believing woman that they should have any choice in their matter when Allah and His Apostle have decided a matter; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle, he surely strays off a manifest straying." - S Ahzab V 36

In Islam, Allah appointed all his prophets (a.s.), people were not consulted.

"And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?" - S Zukhruf V 31

In Islam every thing is for Allah, to gain the pleasure of Allah; if it is done for the people, it is termed as hidden polytheism.

"And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me." - S Zariyat V 56
