Zakir Naik – Was Persia Forced to Accept Islam

			Do we have a question from this mic here? Sure. I just first like to say thank you for coming here.
And my name is Puya. So I'm a student drummer. And I come from Iran, not Iraq, Iran, the old name
Persia. So, I come from a religious family, my father, I mean, my family are Muslim, but I born as a
Muslim, but I didn't want it to be born as a Muslim because you know, so as a family I born but it's
still I haven't accepted Islam because of substance and points.
		

			My main question was about, I mean, about the time like ancient time back to the 1000 years ago,
when the time the Islam come to my country, and we become a Muslim. So as a reader in the history
and those kinds of facades, I found it out that the Arab countries to the attack to my country, and
they invade my country and abroad Islam by force, without my king accepted. So pressure was the old
country and it was the most civilized country from the Asia Intermountain. Now, we believe a real
God, we were worshipping a real God, and our religious was that Toshi. So he was a prophet also. So
we believe in good deeds, good tout good words. So even Cyrus the Great, he was the king of the word
		

			and he was doing a lot of good things. Even some people they was confused that they call him Marcia
mercy. He was doing many good things, but he was never said I'm approval on the gut. But even though
that King when he attacked about the country, he never killed the civilian. He never raped a woman.
And he never met him to change your religion. Even somebody was worshipping a cow who respect for
them, even though he was worshipping a real god he can he can he could make them to worship also
same as what is worshiping. But in the Islam way, if you're, if you're going to promote your
religion, doesn't mean that you have to force it to somebody else. Or you have to make them to
		

			accept that religion. Because, you know, human being means freedom. So anyone should have the right
human rights. So maybe those people that didn't want that religion so why they have to attack and
you know, to bring it with force. That was the main question that make my heart a bit, you know, to
make me to my belief go down. So,
		

			Poland, yeah, I'm from first parts. Are you a Parsi? You mean? Farsi? Are you a Parsi? Is arrestin
not I'm not following any religion. You don't belong to any religion. I don't, I don't, parents. My
parents are Muslim. But because of this confusion, stuff, I never tried to follow the religion I
just believe in real God and doing the good things. We believe in your God and good thing, what are
the good fever, good, the good things from good things like I don't harm the others, whatever I'm
doing, not try to harm the others. That's the first thing as much as you can do the good is ever
helping you others and believe in the real God not worshipping your stone or live or whatever. And I
		

			believe God is single. So but I didn't live your own philosophy.
		

			So you want to bring a new religion? I'm not gonna make any religion. I'm just following my brain
because, as I know, God gave us a brain so I didn't make my mind busy by following the books. I
always when I was 10 years old, was just thinking, thinking, thinking on
		

			search, right? Thinking Thinking he thing God along another stone, who told us told me not a god.
Anyway, I'll also your basic question. The basic question is that Muslims came to Persia, and they
conquered and they forced people to accept Islam. So no one should false at all I agree with you.
Point to be noted is that today, the media, the media, media promotes that Islam was spread by the
sword.
		

			I'm aware that there are certain black sheep in the Muslim community. And there are certain Muslim
rulers who did wrong things, but as a whole, Islam was never spared by the sword.
		

			Islam was never spent by the Sun is picked by sword, sword, sword, sword, sword, me force forcing,
like you said, no Muslims came and conquered Persia, etc. You see everywhere it's happening. There
are wars taking place. But in Islam, it's clearly mentioned in Surah Baqarah, chapter two verse
number 256, like Rafiq Deen, there is no compulsion in religion to Sandler clear for mirror what we
see today, if we analyze that we Muslims,
		

			we Muslims, even the Lord of the Arab lands for more than 1400 years, for the past 1400 years, the
Muslims were the Lord of the Arab lands for a few years. The Britishers came for a few years the
French came but overall, the Muslim was the rural the Arab land yet today, there are more than 9
million Christians. What Coptic Christians that means that Christians generation if the Muslims
wanted, they could have forced each and every non Muslim to accept Islam at the point of the sod in
the Arab land.
		

			The more than 9 million Coptic Christians they are giving shahada they are bearing witness that
Islam was inspired by the sod. We Muslims, we ruled India for more than 1000 years. We
		

			ruled India for more than 1000 years. If we wanted, we could have forced every non Muslim Indian to
accept Islam as the point of the sod. Today, more than 80% of the Indian and non Muslims, these more
than 80% non Muslim Indians, they are giving shahada, they are bearing witness that Islam was
inspired by the sword.
		

			Which Muslim army has come to Indonesia, Indonesia today had the largest number of Muslims in any
country, more than 200 million Muslims in Malaysia, more than 55% of the citizens of Malaysia are
Muslim. I'm asking you which Muslim army came to Malaysia.
		

			Your country which we'll see mommy came, which Muslim army went to the east coast of Africa. It was
the business it was the traders when they came here people accepted this religion. It is the media
hype, which talks about Islam was spread by the sword. Yes, there were a few people. There were a
few black sheeps of the Muslim community. Whether you have the question you're listening by raising
their hand. Okay, sure. Sure. You asked the question, you give the background and listen to it. And
now you can raise your hand. I have not completed my answer. Okay. Sure. Continue. If you have the
question you should think because if you're thinking something, I'm a doctor. If you're thinking
		

			that you're here, man, say I've asked you to repeat you won't be able to repeat 25%
		

			So when you listen, you should give attention. I'm a doctor.
		

			I've been psychologist.
		

			So
		

			this is the media hype.
		

			If you read Thomas Carlyle, Thomas Keller historian, he writes in his book, heroes and hero worship,
		

			he puts number one hero profit. As per masala salaam, he's a Christian. He says, if every new idea
originates in one man's head, one man that dwells around in the full world, it will do little good
if it takes up a sword and propagates it.
		

			You have to first get your salt. He's talking about sort of intellect. There was a survey done
		

			in the Plains Food magazine, a survey in the increase of the major world religions in the span of 50
years in a span of 50 years.
		

			From 19 134 to 19 184. In a span of 50 years, the increase in the major world religion it came in
either digest or manager book 1984. Number one maximum increase in religion, Islam 235%
Christianity, only 47% I'm asking you which war took place between 1934 and 1984, which forced the
non Muslim to accept the sandwich war? Which war
		

			today, today leave aside the past today, the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The
fastest growing religion in Europe is Islam. I'm asking you who's forcing the American to accept
Islam who is forcing the European to accept Islam.
		

			You will not be born but you present in the past Arabs came to my land and forced wherever you
present. They see this
		

			many things initially false.
		

			Okay, okay.
		

			A very famous historian dilithium Alarie. He writes in the book, Islam at the crossroad with number
eight, he says, history makes it clear. History makes it clear that the legend of fanatical Muslims
flipping across the world, forcing Islam at the point of the thought is the most fantastic observed
myth that historian ever repeated. Who said that? The Laci O'Leary, history makes it clear that the
legend of fanatical Muslim forcing Islam at the point of the thought over conquered received is the
most fantastic observed myth that historians have repeated. This is just in the media today. Muslim
terrorists, Muslim terrorist. I'm asking you did any Muslim attack you in this country? No, never.
		

			But the media is a Muslim the terrorist Yeah, media just nonsense. Yeah, same me your history goes
on on 10.
		

			is also nonsense. Some mistake, something's wrong, that very than if you're the answer, I'd like to
end my answer with a quotation of Dr. Adam Pearson, to Adam psnc Is that people worry that one day
nuclear weaponry will fall in the hands of the Arabs. They fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has
already been dropped.
		

			The bomb of peace it fell that day Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was born.
		

			Good thank you doctor for your answer. But the point is, I didn't get the right answer because
that's not my idea. That's his story. And his story is not something that can be written the false
way because if we write written a false way it can be changed. But that was the true history and all
over the world.
		

			and is written every other day. My quotation of delay or lady can you repeat it?
		

			Repeat while repeat delays your lady's condition?
		

			I said it twice, not once, twice. Most often the answer was once. I said twice now repeated
repeatedly 50% So what's the point of repeating that word? I want to know whether you it went into
your head or not? No, because that's what is in my head is that is a historic first thing I'm asking
you can you repeat the statement answer which I gave earlier? If you cannot repeat that myth is
useless me repeating the answer. You're not listening to me. You're thinking something? No, I'm
listening to you. Just made
		

			the statement of DLSE O'Leary, a very famous historian. No, I can I can. I'm thinking for third time
listen,
		

			listen to it and go be in the queue.
		

			DLSU O'Leary says that history makes it clear
		

			the legend of fanatical Muslims forcing Islam at the point of the third or what conquered races and
the most fantastic, observed myth. That historian repeated the less God says history has been
telling falsehood and you're saying history I believe in history. The lesson earlier is saying that
what history says that Muslims are forcing Islam at the point of the sword is the most fantastic
myth that historical repeated so you have got influenced by the myth. So not think it's a myth and
forget it and believe in the fact the fact is you read the Quran and inshallah won't you to revert
to Islam. They will battle the religion of your parents inshallah.
