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.
