Here in Sri Lanka, the Ulema are encouraging Muslims to vote in the presidential elections.

Answer

The Ulema in Sri Lanka who are advocating voting and even encouraging Muslims to vote, and misusing the Qur'aan Majeed, are lost. They have deviated from Siraatul Mustaqeem. They are bootlickers of the kuffaar.

Instead of turning to Allah Ta'ala for aid against the vile Buddhists who are scheming to exterminate the Muslim community, the Ulema and the modernists are looking askance at their oppressors for succour. Allah Ta'ala warning us against bootlicking the kuffaar says:

"If Allah helps you, no one can overwhelm you, and if Allah abandons you, then who is there besides Him to help you?"

There is no one - no one to aid Muslims. Just look what is happening to all the Palestinian Muslims who have been bootlicking the western kuffaar and blindly aping them thereby having abolished the Shariah substituting it with the law of Taaghoot.

These very Yahood and Nasaara masters whom they had been bootlicking and looking to for succour are today perpetrating daily massacres and genocide to deracinate and obliterate the Palestinian Muslims, and all the other surrounding so-called Muslim countries are complicit with the Yahood and Nasaara in this horrible genocide which their underling and puppet, Israel is executing.

It is understood that due to absolute Imaani deficiency the Ulama and Muslims in Sri Lanka are unable to stand up in their own defence. Thus, in such a scenario of total helplessness, the only prescription is Inaabat Ilallaah, Sabr and Dua. Turn unto Allah Ta'ala with Taubah and supplicate patiently and silently for His Nusrat. The Nusrat will then come. Allah Ta'ala says to His repenting servants:

"Behold! The help of Allah is near."
