Since the beginning of their existence, or since the seventh century of our era, the borders of Islam have come into contact with non-Muslim territories that always were the mark of violent military expansion This religion.
If you believe Muhammad's earliest biography (Sira), successes in the violent spread of Islam, were straight due to armed aggression and terror. The glorification of the armed conflict, ubiquitous in the text of the Quran, seems to confirm this thesis.
But can the spread of Islam truly be regarded as a consequence of a deliberate military action, which is frequently called jihad?
At the outset, it must be explained that most of us realize jihad as a kind of “holy war” and so identify it with war activities. It is only partially right. The jihad may be to fulfill the duties of the individual, or conflict of the faithful, to endure in the way of the works required (fardh) and permitted (halal). It may besides be a conflict for the eventual happiness, or Islam, to regulation the world. This can besides be war, if the situation so requires.
According to Muslims, the full planet is divided into 2 domains: the Surrender Domain (Dar al Islam), belonging to Muslims, and the War Domain (Dar al Harb), which was snatched distant by the rightful followers of Islam by the betrayal and folly of those who rejected love for Allah. This is the part of the planet that the infidels live in and where they regulation FITNA, or provocation - abusive, taunting Allah the temptation of infidelity.
The most sacred and most crucial work of all Muslim is to regain this domain robbed of Allah and to join it in the Domain of Subjection in all possible way. The verses of the Qur'an ordering the faithful to enter the armed way to defend Allah against the insult of the infidels are about a fewer hundred. Let me just make a fewer of them.
Quran: Sura 13, Verse 41 - Do they not see how we intend to take distant their border parts? erstwhile Allah has determined their destruction, nothing can halt it. He is fast in his judgment.
Quran: Sura 9, Verse 14 – Fight them! Allah chastises them with your hands, and humiliates them, and gives you triumph over them, and He will heal the breasts of those who believe.
Quran: Sura 9, Verse 39 - If you do not fight, He will make your death painful and he will choose others to your place. You can't hurt him. Allah can do anything.
For each Muslim jihad may mean a different kind of conflict to reconstruct Dar al Islam. This depends on the function of the individual in the Muslim community, its physical characteristics or its skills. Women must give birth to children, due to the fact that without fresh generations of Muslims, the strength of Islam is weakening. Others request to produce, farm or trade to feed jihad materially. No 1 has the right to refuse material support for their armed struggles. A full knowing of this sacred intent is not required, but it is crucial to show obedience, complete submission to Islam and loyalty to another members of Muslim society (ummy).
Quran: Sura 9, Verse 41 - Go to conflict lightly armed and heavy armed, and let your effort be supported by your life and your wealth. It's best for you, but possibly you don't know it.
Undoubtedly, the highest form of jihad is the armed conflict (qital), to which any Muslim can be called. While this is the most difficult, most demanding form of commitment to Allah, it is besides a form of guaranteeing the fastest and highest wages – an immediate place in paradise in the event of a failure of life during combat. And here is simply a verse from the Qur'an that defines the duties and rewards of the faithful participating in the armed jihad:
Quran: Sura 9, Verse 111- I'm sorry. Indeed Allah has bought the souls of the believers and their wealth in exchange for their receiving Paradise Garden. And they will fight in the service of Allah, and they will kill, and they will be killed, according to their agreement....
This is the mystery of Muslim religion revealed in 1 tiny verse. Anyone who fights in the service of Allah is assured of a place in Paradise, no substance how unworthy his life may have led to the minute of fighting and abrupt death. This verse besides answers the question of why innocent Muslims are very frequently killed during terrorist attacks. The reason why innocent people are allowed to kill is inshallah, or the will of Allah, which belongs to the life and possession of all Muslims.
In addition, death in conflict for Allah gives the chance to scope the gate of paradise immediately. The presence of innocent bystanders at the time of the detonation cannot be accidental – it is believed that it is always Allah's will.
The Muslim concept mentioned above is the key to knowing how Muslims treat their aggression. The Muslim option is simple and convenient – there is simply no "Muslim aggression". The infidels are always considered aggressors, and Muslims always only defend themselves against aggression.
Quran: Sura 8, Verse 39 - And fight against them until the temptation of unbelief ceases to be and religion belongs to Allah. But if they surrender then Allah sees clearly what is right.
To further justify their aggression, Muslims propose an invitation to adopt Islam before attacking. An aggressor is, of course, the 1 who rejects the invitation to accept Islam. Almost all military action by Islamists is preceded by an invitation to adopt Islam. In the past, these were authoritative letters demanding acceptance of faith. In today's era, these may be short videos posted on YouTube or emails sent to government agencies. Unfortunately, very frequently these “warnings” are not noticed or ignored by infidels who do not realize the horror of the situation.
In conclusion, Islam was created and formed as a totalitarian ideology, which is guided by the war doctrine of conquest, justified by continuous “provokations” of the infidels. Since the Qur'an, as the authentic words of Allah—God, are eternal words, they cannot be softened or modified in any way, for this would constitute a declaration of obedience to Allah himself. Consequently, it would mean denying the essence of Islam, or the full fall of faith.
As I mentioned in the first part of my series of articles on Islam, even translations of the Quran from Arabic no longer have the importance of the sacred text, as they lose their authenticity and are de facto only translations of meaning.
This fact, as well as the economical collapse of the muslim world, represented for many years after Mustaf Kamal's dissolution of the Caliphate in 1922, a kind of safety warrant for the infidels. Most followers of Islam in the world, without knowing Arabic, could only repeat 5 prayers (also in Arabic) or "paint" from memory selected portions of the Quran in a language completely incomprehensible to themselves.
In fact, Arabs represent a number of the Muslim planet - about 384 million. In Pakistan alone, where the majority of the population speaks Urdu, there are about 170 million Muslims, in Indonesia [speaking in Bahasa] - around 240 million, in India - about 170 million, in Bangladesh [where Bengali is the authoritative language] lives about 150 million. Even the Arabs themselves mostly do not realize the ancient language of the Quran. Thus, for much of the 20th century, after the global caliphate was scattered, the vast majority of Muslims in the planet did not have a full image of Islam and its actual aggressive side. The reason was simple - language.
It can be said that Islam went into hibernation during this period. Secularization has progressed simultaneously in many Muslim countries.
The changes came along with the rising gross from oil extraction and renewed efforts in the Muslim planet to reactivate the disassembled in 1922 Caliphate. Large sums of money from countries with immense oil deposits began to flow into spiritual foundations, schools (Madrasy), the construction of mosques and the payment and export of teachers and imams educated in Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Tehran. As a result, a number of young people in Muslim society were radicalised. Through the fact that Islam's catechization is exported to the farthest reaches of the world ‘pThe fierce discipline flowing straight from Allah" began to scope the masses again.
When I started my individual way of discovering Islam, I asked 1 of my friends, a erstwhile Muslim [who then trusted me adequate to openly talk to me], which he considered to be the fastest way to realize the essence of Islam. At that time, Abul answered without reasoning that he thought that learning the life communicative of the last prophet of Allah would give me the quickest answer to my disturbing questions.
It should be remembered that all Muslim has a work to follow all Muhammad's works and to do as to his teachings. According to Muslims, Muhammad was a man without any faults, so not even knowing the sacred words of the Qur'an, but copying the behaviour of the Prophet, 1 can safe a place in paradise.
Let us so examine the “light works” of the last prophet in subsequent episodes of the cycle.
