YAH ALLAH SEND BLESSINGS ON PROPHET MUHAMMAD PEACE BE UPON HIM
AND ON CHILDREN OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD PEACE BE UPON HIM
HOW CAN ISLAM BE THE RELIGION OF PEACE WHEN IT WAS SPREAD BY THE SWORD?
Answer: This used to be a common complaint among non-Muslims, that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic of the Glorious Qur’aan that was responsible (and still is) for the rapid spread of Islam. Islam makes it an article of faith to believe in all the previous prophets that were sent for the guidance of mankind over the centuries, unlike the Jews and the Christians. The Jews reject Jesus (Peace be upon him)and Muhammad (Sallallahu Alahe Wasalam) and the Christians reject Muhammad (Sallallahu Alahe Wasalam).
Remarkable fact: In Arabic the word ‘sword’ has twelve different words to describe it, but it is not mentioned even once in the Glorious Qur’aan. Lo! Behold! Amazingly, the word ‘sword’ is written 448 times in 404 verses in the Bible, and yet Christianity claims to be the religion of peace!
Christian religious scholars and historians have now admitted the deception of accusing Muslims of spreading Islam by the sword. Even the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican has had to admit that this was an absurd accusation that through repetition was given a semblance of credence.
The fact is that the reverse is true. The Church after the Nicene Council of 325 massacred by the sword 12,000,000 (twelve million) Unitarian followers of Jesus (Peace be upon him) during the Inquisition period as recorded in the book titled ‘Apology to Muhammad and the Qur’aan’, written by a Christian historian, Mr. John Davenport. How conveniently the Christians missionaries forget that according to their own concocted Bible they attribute the following sayings to Jesus which prove the exact opposite of their claims that Jesus (Peace be upon him) was a prince of peace:
Matt.10-34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matt.10-35: For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:53: The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
On the other hand the Glorious Qur’aan states unequivocally:
Qur’aan Chap 64.v.12- And obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away, the duty of Our Messenger is only to deliver (the message) clearly.
Qur’aan Chap 2:256- “There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error”
Qur’aan Chap 10: 99 –“And if your Lord willed, all those who are in the earth would have believed (all) together. Will you then compel people until they become believers?
Qur’aan Chap 16:125 – “Call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way”.
Qur’aan Chap 12:108 – This is my (prophet’s) way: I invite unto Allah with sure knowledge: I and whosoever follows me”.
Huston Smith in his book titled “The World’s Religions” says on page 256: “The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alahe Wasalam) granted freedom of religion to the Jews and Christians and had a special document drawn up to this effect. In it was also stated- They shall be protected from all insults and vexations; shall have equal rights with the Muslims and have the assistance of the Muslims, and to practice their religions as freely as the Muslims.”
Ira Zepp Jr in his book titled “A Muslim Primer” says:
“It is unfortunate that Islam has been stereotyped as the ‘religion of the sword’. In any case, Islam cannot be forced on anyone; if profession of the shahadah (the declaration of Islamic belief) is forced on anyone, it is not true Islam”.
Does this not prove the lies and hatred of those who say that Islam was spread by the sword? It also means submitting ones’ will to Allah (swt). The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book
“Islam at the cross road” (Page 8): “History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that (Christian) historians have ever repeated.”
The latest liar in a long list of liars is the new Pope Ratzinger, who repeated this lie in Germany in September 2006. Ratzinger was a close confidant of the late Pope John Paul, but betrayed his predecessor by not carrying out his promise to destroy John Paul’s private papers upon his death. Can a man who betrays his leader and close friend be trusted?
Muslims ruled Spain for 800 years
The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and massacred the Muslims in wholesale slaughter. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the ‘adhan’, the call to prayers. This is recorded in the history books and proves that in fact the sword spread Christianity.
20 million Arabs are Coptic Christians
Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1500 years. For a few years each the British and the French ruled. Overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1500 years. Yet today, there are 20 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used
the sword there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.
More than 80% non-Muslims in India
The Muslims ruled India for about 1,000 years. They had the power of converting each and every non-Muslim of India to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India is non-Muslims (Hindus, who are idol worshippers). All these non-Muslim Indians are witnesses today that the sword did not spread Islam when Muslims ruled India for those 1,000 years. During the time that Muslims ruled India the Hindus were given equal opportunities to work and were not discriminated against.
Is it credible to believe that one man aged 40 years of age; 1500 years ago took the sword and forced thousands of people in his community to accept his belief? I challenge anyone to try and do that even today with the most sophisticated weaponry and see if they will succeed. The USA is supposed to be the super power in the world, but they have failed in Afghanistan and Iraq to impose their type of democracy on the people. It can never be done! Belief is of the heart and mind. The Qur’aan is the only ‘weapon’ that even today is winning the hearts and minds of people after 1500 years the world over. Most of those concerting to Islam are Christians.
However, after India gained independence in 1947 (through the equal efforts of Muslims and Hindus); the Hindus who are in the majority marginalized the Muslims completely. They are discriminated against and are denied equal opportunities to work etc. A poll commissioned by the Indian Government in 2006, found that the Muslims are the most disadvantaged and poorest people in the whole of India, even more so than the lowest caste Harichans. It was also reported by the B.B.C. World service on the 18th December 2006 that the Muslims of India are the most excluded group in India because of their religion.
What a turnaround when others rule over Muslims! army converted millions of people in the 20th century, mainly Christians at the point of a sword to Islam? (This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’, a Christian magazine)
Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe.
Today the fastest growing religion in Europe, America and all over the world is Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?
On the 18/07/2005, on B.B.C. news report it was acknowledged that
ISLAM is still the fastest growing religion in the world, not withstanding the 9th September 2001 bombings in
America; 3/11/ 2004 Madrid train bombings, and the London bombings of 7/7/2005.
America; 3/11/ 2004 Madrid train bombings, and the London bombings of 7/7/2005.
Again on the 16th December 2006, it was reported on the B.B.C. Radio that Islam is on the rise in the U.K. and Europe.
“People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu Alahe Wasalam) was born”.
