00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			The 4th
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			misconception is that Islam
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			was spread by the sword.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			Islam
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			comes from the root word salaam, which means
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			peace.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			It is also derived
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			from the Arabic word sil, which means
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			to submit your will
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			Thus, Islam means peace acquired
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			by submitting your will to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			ta'ala.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			Islam
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			was spread by the
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			sword. Peace
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			was spread by the sword. It's rather contradicting.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			Each and every human being in this world,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			he's not in the favor of maintaining peace.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			There are many who would like to disrupt
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			it for their own gains.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Therefore, force has to be used in order
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			to promote peace and justice in the country.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			Similarly, in Islam, force can be used at
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			the last resort
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			in order to promote
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			peace and justice in the country.
