00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			The fourth most common question or
misconception that has been in the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:13
			minds of non Muslims is that why
was Islam spread by the salt?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			Islam comes from the root word
Salam which means peace. It is
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			also derived from the Arabic word
sin, which means to submit your
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			will to the will of Allah subhanaw
taala. Thus, Islam means peace
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			acquired by submitting your will,
to the will of Allah subhanaw
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			taala. Islam is the religion of
peace. Each and every human being
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			in this world is not in favor of
maintaining peace, there are many
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			who would want to disrupt it for
their own personal gain. This is
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			precisely the reason why we have
the police that needs to use for
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			sometimes, so that peace and
justice will prevail in the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			country. Islam exalts its
followers towards peace, but
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			sometimes force has to be used in
order for peace and justice to
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			prevail. So Islam is the religion
of peace, but sometimes force has
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			to be used so that peace and
justice will prevail in the
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			country. And the best reply to the
misconception that Islam was
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			spread by the sword is given by
the famous historian de Blasio,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			Larry, in his book Islam at the
crossroad on page number eight he
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			says that history makes it clear
that the legend of fanatical
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			Muslims should be across the
world, forcing Islam at the point
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			of the sword is the most
fantastically absorbed myth that
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			historians have ever repeated. We
Muslims, we ruled Spain for 800
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:39
			years. We Muslims ruled Spain for
a long duration of time. Yet today
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			there are many non Muslims who are
available in Spain. Later on.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			The non Muslims came and they
wiped out the Muslims. There was
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			not a single Muslim who could
openly give the other and that is
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			a call for prayer. We Muslims who
are the Lord of Arabia, we will
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Arabia for 14 years. For a few
years. The French came for a few
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:02
			years the British came but all
Muslims rule Arabia for 14 years.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			Yet today in Arabia, there are no
less than 9 million items are
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			Coptic Christians, these 9 million
items are Coptic Christians. They
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			are bearing witness that Islam was
not spared by the assault. If you
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			wanted, you could have converted
all of these people at the point
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			of assault. We didn't do it.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			We Muslims with all India for
about 1000 years. Yet today, in
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			India 80% of the Indians,
approximately they are non
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			Muslims. They are bearing witness
that Islam was not spared by the
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			sword. Which Muslim army went to
Indonesia, which has the maximum
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			percentage of Muslims more than
200 million Muslims, which Muslim
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			army went to Malaysia, which has
63 to 64% Muslims today, which
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			Muslim army went to the east coast
of Africa, which on the reply is
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:57
			given by Thomas Carlye. In his
book, heroes and hero worship this
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:02
			war indeed, but where will you get
your swan? Every new idea
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			originates in the mind of one, one
man against the whole world that
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			he will propagate his message. You
must pick up your swan and
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			propagate.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			What Sorts Thomas Carlyle talking
about is he talking about the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			swarm of metal and steel. He's
talking about the swarm of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			intellect, the swirl of reasoning.
Even if you had the sword of metal
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			and steel, we cannot use it. Allah
subhanaw taala says in the
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:30
			Glorious Quran in surah baqarah
chapter two verse number 256 law
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			it could not have been cut who
rose to Middle High to stands out
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			clear from error.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			Let there be no compulsion in
religion to stands out clear from
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			error. Allah subhanaw taala says
in the Glorious Quran and Sunnah
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			* chapter 16 verse, Psalm
120 5020 Isla Sebelius applicable
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			Hikmah Well, the Moria local
Hasina, which had the humility
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			acid in why to do the dialogue
with wisdom and beautiful
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:57
			preachings and argue with them and
reason with them in the ways that
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			our best and most gracious, we
cannot force anyone to accept
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:06
			Islam at the point of the sword or
at the point of the gun. And there
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			was an article published in the
Reader's Digest almanac yearbook
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			1984,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			and was reprinted in the plain
truth magazine,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			which showed the increase of the
major world religions from 1934 to
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:25
			1984. And number one religion was
Islam, which increased by 230 5%.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:32
			Christianity only 47% Which war
took place between 1934 to 1984,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			which forced millions of people to
accept Islam, which soared. Today,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			the fastest growing religion in
America is Islam. The fastest
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			growing religion in Europe is
Islam, the fastest growing
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			religion in the West and Islam.
You know, the media says that
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			Islam subjugates the woman do you
know out of those people accepting
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			Islam, two thirds of them a woman
who is forcing these American and
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			European woman to accept Islam?
Why are they accepting Islam?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			because they know that Islam has a
solution to the problems of
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			humanity. The more the media
malign Islam, the faster it grows.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			Dr. Adam Pierson said
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:17
			that people are worried that one
day nuclear weaponry will fall in
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			the hands of the Arabs. They fail
to realize that the Islamic bomb,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			the bomb of the religion of peace
has already been dropped. It fell,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			the day of Muhammad peace be upon
him was born.
