    What is meant by Taghut? Some Muslims especially those who promotes political Islam use this word to mean unislamic political systems (they consider) like democracy, secularism, communism etc as Taghut. Kindly clarify..

    Al-Taghut and Al-Shaytan are used synonymously in the Quran: they refer to someone who is arrogant and rebellious before the Almighty. The opposite of this is humility and modesty.

    For details on different interpretations of religion (tabeerat-e-deen) and critique on political interpretation of religion, please refer to the following thread:
