What is the nature of voting from an Islamic perspective?

In a Nutshell: Voting to make man sovereign over you in a Kufr system is completely forbidden in Islam. There is no “lesser evil” that we, as Muslims can choose. “It is not for a human that Allah should give him the scripture and authority and messenger hood and then he would say to the people, ‘Be servants to me rather than Allah,’ but, ‘Be pious scholars of Allah because of what you have taught of the scripture and because of what you have studied.” (Surah 3 : 79) “Nor could he order you to take the angels and messengers as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?” (Surah 3 : 80) (A Sovereign: decides with authority over the conduct of people, that are subject to those decisions, subjugated without negation.) Your permission is the difference between sex and rape, one is consensual, the other a submission; or the difference between a gift and robbery; or between volunteering and slavery. To be forced to submit is an act of aggression. Inherently non-aggression holds, which means a substantiation of self-defence or to substantiate the defence of others being forced to submit against their will. Reciprocal inherent power is innate, a fundamental. Inherent power is immutable and unalienable because it is within you, as a measure of your creation, for example you must give your permission to all agreements between souls, as an act of informed reason, not merely in submission. The Kanienkehaka and Onkwehonwe have a word ‘ore˙na’ which means inherent power, as a force present, in varying degrees, in all objects or souls, and to be the force by which the souls accomplishment is attained or accounted for. Inherent power is derived from the nature of your creation, and binds all in reciprocation as everything is connected. Therefore the most violent act any soul could commit against their neighbour would be to vote a representative upon them. Representative voting is an act of aggression, because it strip away consent and imposes submission. "If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves" - Thomas Sowell To persuade a soul requires reason, to coerce a soul demands fear, violence generates fear. Inherently violence stands against the concept of Terrente –‘the peace of their mind threatened’, which means violence is injurious physical force; action that causes fear of physical violence if conformity is not submitted to; or treatment that forces conformity, or prevents free passage, use or expression. If you view yourself as a Muslim, and you give sovereignty to the words of the Qur’an, you may have no sovereign other than Allah. To take part in a vote to elect a person to act as a sovereign power over you, is against the Qur’an, to stand as a representative of a sovereign power, is against the Qur’an, to pay tax to a sovereign power is against the Qur’an, to adhere to the laws of a sovereign power that defy the concepts and principles expressed within the Qur’an, is palpably against the Qur’an, to take Qur’an. You may say, but I have to live here, therefore I have to take the government as my sovereign, I say you have to die here and your sovereign is Omnipresent: (always present everywhere.), omnipotent: (all-powerful: possessing complete, unlimited, universal power and authority), Omniscient: (all-knowing: knowing everything), Omnificent: (with great creative power: with unlimited power to create), to name but four of the attributes of Allah. You have been created with purpose, of an energy field that cannot be destroyed, given a simple test within this life to warrant the inconceivable rewards and adventures abundant within the infinite imagination of Allah. You exist here for only a brief moment; don’t discard eternity within the positive aspect of Allah in exchange for conformity, to exist for eternity within the negative aspect of Allah in abject misery. They will attempt to convince you the path to reforming the governmental system is within its fabric, becoming involved inside this mechanism of control and abuse and working towards the slow rectification of the organization. 2:11 When it is said unto them, "Do not cause chaos and disorder in the land by violating the Prescribed Way of Life," they assert, "We are but reformers, setting things right!" 2:12 Oh, verily, it is they who are the disrupters of the social fabric but they fail to make proper use of their mental faculties. They bring forth a common argument that they are acting in good faith and in accordance with their conscience. They do not realize that conscience is nothing but an "internalised society" and that it is only a mental reflection of the material conditions and values prevalent in a given society. Therefore, it can never be a substitute for Divine Revelation, i.e. the Qur’an. 3:20, 5:79, 9:67, 24:21. They will endeavour to instil you with fears; the loss of your property, possessions, even your liberty, this is a powerful argument, one that most will concede conformity to the systems of control. Are you a Muslim, or will you too concede conformity? 25:23 And We will look at the deeds they have done, and will make their work scatter like ashes and dust. 25:24 Whereas on the same Day those who have earned the Paradise, well is their abode with fairest places for rest and repose, and good news upon good news will be theirs. 25:25 The Day the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder; angels will be sent down, a grand descent in ranks. 25:26 On that Day it will become obvious to all that the Sovereignty belongs to the Most Gracious alone. Hence, a Day of distress it will be for all those who had been rejecting the Truth. 25:27 When the Day comes, the transgressor will bite his hands in anguish, exclaiming, "Oh, I wish I had taken a Path with the Messenger!" 17:39 This is some of the Wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set up with Allah any other god, lest you be cast into Hell blameworthy rejected. (Accept no Authority worthy of obedience in lieu of Allah 2:269).
