Baiklah..back to our main topic....
"how can Islam be the religion of peace when it was spread by the sword?"
Its a common complaint among some non-Muslims..The following points InsyaAllah will make it clear, that far frombeing spread by the sword, it was yhe inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for the rapid spread of Islam.
1) Islam Means Peace.
Islam comes the word of "salaam", which means peace. Its also means submitting one"s will to ALLAH SWT. Thus, Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one"s will to the will of the Supreme Crator, Allah swt..
2) Sometimes force has to beused to maintain peaceEach and every human being in this world is not favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested intersts. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for the reason that we have police who use force againstcriminals and anti-social elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against appressionmay, at times, require the use of force. In Islam, force can only be used to promote peace and justice.
3) More than 80% non Muslim in India.The Muslims ruled India for about a thousands year. If they wanted, they had the power of converting each and every non-muslim of India to Islam. Today, moer than 80% of the population of India are Non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are bearing wittness today that Islam was not only spread by the sword.
4) Swords of Intellect
It is the swords of intellect. The swords that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Quran says in Surah Nahl, Chapter 16, verse 125:
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiul preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious."
Now friends, I have a Question to ponder...
Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe is Islam. Which sword is forcing people in those of the powerful country to accept Islam in such large numbers?
I thinks, thats all for this time. InsyaAllah we will meet again. I got Chemistry class after this.. so, i have to hurry. thanks a lot for lending your eyes to see and mind to think about this with me.. If u have any opinion or some extra information, just leave your comment here..
