Shuraas the system of representation of the Muslim’ s voice in, typically , the
Islamic state is often confronted with the West representation system namely
Democracy . Some Islamic scholars believe that Shura is still the best system for
Muslims to vote for their need in the state. However , as Islam is not a monolithic
doctrine, some other Muslim groups have another alternative view to represent
their political opinion to the state by , surprisingly , practicing democracy . In brief ,
Shurais still placed God instructions as the reference of all decisions which are
made in the council. Otherwise, democracy merely stands its policy on the people.
Both systems have a long tradition processes to find their recent way in this
global age. And the British Muslims have to realize that they live in a developed
country like Britain and still have to be Muslim. Giving challenging condition, Hizbut
T ahrir , T ablighi Jama’at, and Muslim Council of Britain, three prominent Muslim
Organizations in England, have different attitude towards democratic Britain to
voice their representation. On the one hand, Hizbut T ahrir strictly rejects the idea
of democracy as its goal is to establish the Islamic Caliphate in the world. And on
another hand, T ablighi Jama’at tends to stay away from the political issue, including its representation, as the core of this organization is only preaching in a
peaceful way . Finally , Muslim Council of Britain as the umbrella of small-medium Muslim organizations in England, in fact is involving in the system of British democracy .
