Babagee Inayatullah is a contemporary spiritual commentator, researcher, and exponent of Islamic philosophy, Allama Iqbal's thought, and Gabrielian literature.His discourses and media recordings often bridge classical spiritual teachings with the modern philosophical dilemmas facing the Ummah.In the writings and blog archives curated by Babagee Inayatullah, the critique of Western Secular Democracy (Maghribi Jamhooriyat) is presented through the combined lens of Allama Muhammad Iqbal's political philosophy and Allama Muhammad Yousaf Gabriel's critique of modern materialism.
Babagee Inayatullah writes in traditional philosophical Urdu, analyzing democracy not merely as an electoral system, but as an ideological byproduct of secularism and Baconian Materialism that distances humanity from divine ethics (Hukumat-e-Ilahiyah).
1. Quantity Over Quality (Ginti vs. Weight)
Borrowing heavily from Iqbal's famous couplet:
"جمہوریت ایک طرزِ حکومت ہے کہ جس میں — بندوں کو گنا کرتے ہیں، تولا نہیں کرتے"
(Democracy is a system where heads are counted, not weighed for wisdom or moral character.)
Babagee Inayatullah argues that Western political democracy grants equal weight to the corrupt and the virtuous alike. By relying purely on headcount (Aksariyat / Majority) rather than moral integrity (Taqwa) or intellectual depth, democratic systems inevitably elevate opportunists who exploit public sentiment.
2. The Illusion of Liberty (Sarmayah-dari ka Jaal)
In his Urdu commentary, he positions Western democracy as a deceptive cover for capitalist dominance. Elections, according to this view, require massive financial capital (Kanz / Capital), ensuring that parliament remains in the hands of wealthy elites while ordinary citizens are left with the illusion of freedom.
3. Separation of Religion from State (Siyasat-e-La-Deen)
Babagee Inayatullah reflects Gabriel’s core thesis that when political systems divorce themselves from divine revelation (Vahi), they descend into moral lawlessness. He contrasts secular legislation—where human majorities can legalize or normalize destructive behaviors—with Islamic Shura (consultation), which operates strictly within the unalterable ethical boundaries (Mizan) set by Allah Almighty.
