"A variation of lying in the name of hadith is to add or omit something from the translation without doing a literal translation. Or making the interpretation of what the Prophet (ﷺ) said a part of the hadith. Almost all of us in our society are involved in this crime. For self-purification, Pir-Muridi, Dawat-Tabligh, politics, etc., we provide evidence from Quran and Hadith to people of every group and opinion. Providing such evidence is a very natural act and demand of faith. But usually we run this explanation in the name of Rasulullah (ﷺ). For example, Rasulullah (ﷺ) governed the state, but did not do party politics in the traditional sense, i.e. did not do anything like change of power through voting. Currently many scholars are doing democratic politics. It is accepted as a new method of enjoining justice, forbidding injustice or Iqamat Deen. But if we say, Rasulullah (ﷺ) did politics, then the listener or reader will understand the conventional meaning of politics, i.e. seizure of power through voting. And he did not do this politics. As a result, lies will be told in his name. That is why we should tell separately what he did and said and what we are interpreting."

"Sovereignty means ownership. It is simple that sovereign means owner. Like I am the owner of this land which is true. I can build, demolish, partition, sell here. I own this. Again this land belongs to God. This is also true. And the fact is, according to Islam, I can do many things with this land, but I cannot build a brothel here. Human ownership is limited; Gods ownership is supreme over all other sovereignty. My ownership is worldly, and if I place it on the ownership of Allah, I will be guilty before Allah. At the same time, the people own the country, it is a simple matter. I do not agree with those who say that it is anti-Islamic to call the people sovereign and they are the source of all power. Power here does not mean storm-rain or disease power, it means ministerial, prime ministerial and above all state power. This power is actually human. In Islam, power will be gained by the consent of the people. In a society if the heads of the people agree and the people agree, thats fine, thats democracy. Peoples participation and participation is mandatory in democracy Islam. So the people own the state and the people are the source of power is not inconsistent with Islam. But if one thinks that this ownership means that anyone can do anything; If the haram (forbidden) is halal (lawful), and the halal is haram, then it is clearly anti-Islamic."
