Quran 12:40 – Yusuf. Know the Governments (actually TAGHUT) of these ‘Muslim’ countries those who made themselves EQUAL to ALLAH

ا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءًۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٠

“Whatever ˹idols˺ you worship instead of Him are mere names which you and your forefathers have made up¹—which Allah has never authorized. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the upright faith, but most people do not know.”

Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulallah!

They made something HALAL what Allah made HARAM.

Let’s try to understand the status of these governments with an analogy.

You are recruited in a company and the management gave you conditions.

(1) You work only with us. If you go for a second job you will be fired.

(2) You work as the WAY we train you and command you, if you try doing it in YOUR way or other than OUR way, you will be fired.

You think this is already extreme but you have no idea what really extreme is. His extreme is beyond your level of imagination of extremism. Let me get you this, the authority give you further condition,

(3) If you add anything extra of what we commanded you to do, you will be fired.

And up to this, you might understand that an authority can set this criteria and following that would be no problem.

But what if the authority also says that

(4) we gave you logistics and tools to work, you have to work within the logistics, this is our trademark, our patent, do not even draw a picture of the logistics, you will be fired.

You are definitely now frustrated, what an organisation it is, what an authoritative attitude that is.

What would be your idea about the AUTHORITY of this organisation? More than like a defence organisation, right? No question asked. Just follow like a machine.

But you are far away from imagining how strict this authority could be.

The management says,

(5) Apart from our unique work ethics, we have also set RULES and LAWS, there is an absolute ZERO tolerance for breaching our laws. You breach a single law, you will be fired.

You might think, alright, that’s understandable, nobody allows breaching of their laws. You breach a legislation of a country, you go to jail, you breach a policy of an organisation you get fired. These are simple to understand.

So you knew how was the strictness of the authority and you have been working for the organisation, you got used to the rules and regulations.

But then suddenly you noticed that the law is not coming from the org at all, someone else has inserted other laws other than what was used to be the organisation’s law that you used to work for.

Would you think the same authority exist anymore?
Nop!
It’s all gone!

Or you might think the company must have appointed a PARTNER who is issuing another set of law because a PARTNER only can have the right to do so!

Yep! You can only attribute any laws other than what Allah revealed, to a partner (Aujubillah) to Allah, the only lawgiver. You might call them Kafir, you might call them Mushrik, but in reality, they are above than these, they claimed themselves as ILAHA. 

It is you who make yourself Mushrik when you follow these OTHER ILAHA.
And you know Islam is all about “LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH”
You REJECT all OTHER ILAHA and only then you come to Allah!
Only then you become Muslim.

And Allah knows best.
May Allah guide these people.
