So Tunisias Assembly has approved its NEW - not-so-new - constitution that is based on the same OLD failed secular basis of fallen dictatorships whose secular system created the mass poverty and oppression that led to the Arab uprisings. As Tunisias parliamentarians celebrate their new founded constitution, more sobering questions that really need to be asked are: - How does Tunisias Assembly with its new SECULAR constitution propose to organise its economy in a manner to uproot mass poverty and inequality of wealth in a manner that secular states the world over have failed to do for centuries - including those in the West (In the US more than 46 million are living below the poverty line. In the UK 1 in 5 parents are struggling to feed their children?) - How does Tunisias Assembly with its new SECULAR constitution propose to address mass unemployment that plagues secular states from East to West, and that has been worsened by an global economic crisis born from the flawed and dangerous secular capitalist system? - And How does Tunisias Assembly with its new SECULAR constitution propose to safeguard the dignity and status of women that has been devalued and violated under secular systems internationally whose societies are grappling with epidemics of abuse against women? (In the secular US 1 in 5 women have faced rape or attempted rape. Across secular Europe, 1 in 4 women face domestic violence. And in the largest secular democracy in the world - India - a woman is raped every 20 minutes, a crime which has increased by 792% over the past 40 years.) It is evident that the SECULAR ideology has failed to provide sound solutions to human problem. Rather it is a system under which politicians use trial and error and guesswork in governing the people. A system where parliaments take a stab in the dark, cross their fingers, close their eyes and hope for the best as the method of legislating laws. Some argue that the constant change of laws within secular states is a symbol of an evolving and progressive system that moves with the times. NO its not - its a reflection of an ideology that has been unable to solve the problems of the people and hence is forced to keep reforming them inorder to try and get them right. This crystal-ball form of politics is no way to govern a state! It reminds me of a verse in the Quran: Or [the state of a disbeliever] is like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light. [An-Nur: 40] Only a system that originates from the Creator of the world, Allah(swt), the One Who alone holds COMPLETE knowledge of the nature of mankind, and every atom of this earth is rightly positioned to legislate how it should be governed. It is His Laws alone, contained in the Quran and Sunnah that can organise a state to achieve justice, security, financial provision, and tranquillity for all - male and female, Muslim and non-Muslim, black and white. It is the Islamic system alone, implemented under the Khilafah that therefore holds the key to a safer and more just, and prosperous future for Tunisia and the rest of the Muslim world. The sound nature of its laws that emanate from Allah(swt) the All-Knowing, the All-Aware means that they do not need to evolve but rather they hold successful solutions to human problems that are relevant past, present and future. Inded, Allah reminds us repeatedly in the Quran about the nature of the actions and laws of the disbelievers such that we do not follow their footsteps that leads to nothing but humiliation, loss, disaster and confusion. Only clinging to the straight path and system of Islam will herald success for this Ummah in this life and the next. As for those who disbelieved, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing; but he finds Allah with him, Who will pay him his due (Hell). And Allah is Swift in taking account. [An-Nur: 39] Which then is best? - He who laid the foundation of his building on piety to Allah and His good Pleasure? Or he who laid the foundation of his building on the edge of a bank ready to crumble to pieces, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into Jahannum.” [At-Taubah: 109]
