Re: How to spread Islam?
Agreed. However how do we decide on whether we can go public or not. In the case of Prophet Muhammad SAW he did not go public until commanded by Allah SWT after which there is no such thing as regard for the law of the land, only strategy.
Now for us muslims today, how do we proceed. Allah has commanded us to convey his message. Or do we have to enforce it if we are capable of doing so. This is what I am trying understand and I do not have a definite answer for this. Muslims are not supposed to bring about peace and harmony in the sense as we let every wrong thing happen and we just compromise upon it rather we are supposed to bring people into the fold of Allahs commands when possible for their own good. Once they are within that fold they are brothers to us because they no longer rebuke Allah SWT commands. This is the point where the test for a true muslim becomes the hardest because it involves the risk of loosing everything and even getting persecuted just to bring people close to Allah SWT.
