The Prophet Muhammad PBUH was a politician as well as a messenger conveying the Risalah, teacher, Chief Justice, Head of the nation and Imam of the Ummah - nation. The Khulafa' Al Rashyidun - the rightly guided leaders - who succeeded him were also politicians following the Sunna - way of the Prophet, establishing just administration, practicing Ihsan - the betterment of good and providing the leadership of Islamic civilization based upon two factors which are knowledge and Iman - belief. However in the present time, due to 'politics', man is suffering as a result of political deceit and ploys of devious politicians, treacherous rulers and tyrannical leaders that adopted Machiavellian philosophy that is based upon (the ends justify the means!).so
True democracy is not the whims and desires of the tyrannical rulers or their lads, it is not the place to jail and incarcerate its fighters and not the place to torture its proponents. Democracy is the simplest and proper way to achieve the aims of a noble life. It is the space for a free and honorable nation to have the right to choose, evaluate the ruler, change governments without coups and without bloodshed. It is not the fraudulent elections that go in favor of specific people oppressing the public opinion paying no attention to any kind of Reform
The gist of democracy is that the public, the people can choose the rulers who are going to administer them; the people having the right to select, criticize and terminate; and the people are not forced to accept systems, trends, and policies which they do not agree to and they are not abused. They are free to hold elections, referendums, ensuring majority rights, protecting minority rights, having opposition, have multi parties, have press freedom and safeguarding the independence of the judiciary.
That is all approved in the Islamic principle Of Shura. Shura or consultative decision-making must be followed and not just as a debating factor. By practicing Shura, it is hence the spirit of democracy. It is but the lost jewel found, the lost wisdom which has been rediscovered. Shura enables people to be decision-makers, becomes the responsibility of the people to advice and counsel the government as Messenger says "Religion depends on Advice” and establish enjoining good and forbidding evil. Among the obligations of this principle is the High Jihad (struggle) that is to voice out the truth in front of the unjust tyrant chief, king or president.
