00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 
			We Muslims, we ruled India for a thousand
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03 
			years.
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			If we wanted, we could have converted each
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 
			and every non-Muslim on the point of
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 
			the sword.
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 
			We didn't do it.
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14 
			Today, more than 80% of the population
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			of India, they are non-Muslims.
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 
			These 80% non-Muslims, they are giving
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20 
			shahada.
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23 
			They are bearing witness that Islam was not
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24 
			spread by the sword.
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 
			Indonesia has the maximum number of Muslims.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31 
			Which Muslim army went to Indonesia?
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 
			Which Muslim army went to the east coast
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34 
			of Africa?
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			Which Muslim army went to Malaysia?
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39 
			Which sword?
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42 
			The reply to this is given by the
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46 
			famous historian Thomas Carlyle in his book, Heroes
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 
			and Hero Worship.
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 
			And he places Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52 
			as hero number one.
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 
			He says that the sword indeed, but where
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 
			will you get your sword?
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01 
			Every opinion at its beginning, it is precisely
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 
			in one man's head.
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 
			One man against the whole world believes in
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06 
			it.
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09 
			One man against all men.
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			That you will pick up the sword and
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 
			propagate it will do little for him.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 
			You must take your sword and propagate it.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 
			Thomas Carlyle is talking about the sword of
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 
			reasoning, the sword of intellect.
