Politics Are a Satan in the World of Ideas; One Should Seek Refuge with Allah the Most High From Them
The politics of civilization sacrifice the minority for the comfort of the majority. Indeed, the despotic minority sacrifices the majority of people for themselves.
Qur’anic justice would not take the life of a single innocent, spill their blood, or sacrifice him even for all mankind, let alone the majority.
The verse, If anyone slew a person – unless it be for murder … lays two mighty mysteries before the eyes. One is pure justice. This sublime principle:
Just as power deems equal the individual and the community, the person and mankind; so divine justice sees no difference between them; this is a constant Sunna.
An individual may sacrifice his rights himself, but they cannot be sacrificed otherwise, even for all mankind. The cancelling of his rights, or the spilling of his blood,
or the smearing of his name is equal to the cancelling of the rights of all humanity, or the besmirching of it, and is its equivalent. The second mystery is this: if a selfish man
murders an innocent out of greed or passion, he will lay waste the whole world if he can, should it be an obstacle to his desires, and wipe out all humanity.
