Argument 1# | The Messenger Yusuf (AS) Some ignorant so-called Muslims falsely attribute to the Messenger Yusuf (AS) that he shared kufr power and implemented kufr law during the time of Al-Azeez of Egypt, whereas Allah (SWT) has informed us that he declared that the Rule is for none but Allah.
Allah (SWT) says: “The command is for none but Allah, He hath commanded that ye worship, follow, submit to and obey none but Him; that is (Islam) the right religion, but most men understand not.” [EMQ 12:40]. In addition the messenger Yusuf (AS) was not a ruler rather he was a store-keeper, someone responsible for the distribution of water and food during the time of famine and when one of his brothers was accused of stealing he clearly referred to the Shari’ah of his father the messenger Ya’qoub (AS) and not to man-made law i.e. the law of Al-Aziz.
Further Allah (SWT) orders us to follow the Messenger Muhammad (SAW) as the example and restricts us by saying: “Whatever the messenger (Muhammad) brought to you take and abide by it, and whatever the messenger forbids leave and refrain from it” [EMQ 57:7]
Moreover the messenger Muhammad (SAW) said to Omar bin Al-Khattab (RA), when he saw him reading a page from the Torah: “Leave it, By Allah if my brother Musa (AS) was alive today he would have no choice but to follow my way i.e. Shari’ah”
The Shari’ah principle is that the Shari’ah (divine rules) before us i.e. before Islam are not for us because Allah (SWT) says: “For each Messenger I sent a Shari’ah and way of life” [EMQ 5:48] As for the Shari’ah principle which some scholars follow and which states that the Shari’ah (Divine rules) before us i.e. before Islam is Shari’ah for us until our Shari’ah abrogates it or states otherwise. In fact even for those who follow this principle they reject to share power with kufr because Allah (SWT) clearly states in the Qur’an: “Rule and judge between them by whatever Allah has revealed to you (Oh Muhammad )” [EMQ 5:49]
In addition to all the above at the time of Yusuf (AS) It was not prohibited to share power with kufr regimes (even if we assume that he did share power) just as it was not prohibited to make Sujood (prostration) to a person. However in Islam it is prohibited to share power with kufr regimes or to make Sujood to other than Allah, as it is to drink alcohol (whereas alcohol was not prohibited before Islam). Hence if we start leaving Islamic rules and begin to refer to what was before the Shari’ah of Islam we will end up drinking alcohol, committing fornication and even removing the eye of a person who removed someone else’s eye, whereas in Islam blood-money is payable and it is prohibited to remove anyone’s eye.
I wonder What the relationship is between the permissible actions of the messenger Yusuf (AS) who abided by the commands of Allah (SWT) and the prohibited actions of those going to vote for man-made law or sharing power with Kufr regimes!! #staymuslimdontvote
