Re: ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE NOT SWORD
Brother how can u call Islam fastest growing religion today? on the contrary its fastest shrinking. Show me where are muslims who fear ALLAH and follow HIS commmand, and sunnah of The Holy Prophet. Show me which country in the dozens of Islamic countries fear ALLAH and abandon the things HE has declared as haram in holy quran. Tell me how many islamic countries could resist the temptation of easy money which come through interest. Inspite of this that their people read and recitesvery frequently those verses of holy quran which declares interest haram no 1. And allowed in no cricumstances while pork is allowed in certain circumstances. But dirty pig meat not as tempting as dirty money coming through interest for majority of this great, big, but fastest shrinking muslim Ummah.
May ALLAH show them the right path. Ameen.
before asking any question plz read it once more..
Was Islam spread by the sword?The Qur'an declares, "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256), thus, no one can be forced to become a Muslim. While it is true that in many places where Muslim armies went to liberate people or the land, they did carry the sword as that was the weapon used at that time. However, Islam did not spread by the sword because in many places where there are Muslims now, in the Far East like Indonesia, China, and many parts of Africa, there are no records of any Muslim armies going there. For instance, instance Muslims ruled India for over 1,000 years and yet on 15% of Indians are Muslims. If the 'sword' had been used, the statistics would have been otherwise. Despite 1,400 years Muslim presence in the Arab world, some 10% of all Arabs are Christians.
In the U.S., Islam is the fastest growing religion and, according to a 2001 study, it has 7 million followers obviously without any sword around.
wassalam
may ALLAH show them right path.
