No Compulsion in Islam?

[wel_mel_2]

Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.

You misunderstood. I have a right to defend myself from harm... not my faith.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said:


“A believer who would integrate and mingle with others waiting patiently to be harmed by them is better than a believer who would neither mingle with them nor would be harmed by them”.



The Prophet never responds to personal attacks or harm, the most precious thing to the Prophet pbuh was not his life or himself as a person, it was <b>HIS MESSAGE </b> and this is the only thing in which he fight for when he was attacked by the unbelievers. Now I remember how many times you said that you too do not respond to personal attacks, but now you have changed your mind and gave yourself rights to defend yourself and not your faith.

Thanks for posting the info. Very interesting. The answer given by the Mufti was somewhat okay in theory, but truth be told, some of what he said is so contrary to the reality of the practice of Islam in many parts of the world today, although the situation's improving slowly, so there's reason to be optimistic

We are here to present the proper image of Islam using the Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad pbuh, there is no need to compare Islam by Muslims (how many did we repeat this sentence?) :conf06:

"According to the Qur’an, Muslims are required to deal with all people kindly and justly as long as they do not oppose... Muslims or place obstacles in the way of spreading Islam."
I took out the word "oppress" because that's a whole other story. Anyways, the above statement/Ayah would be fine if the same could be said for other religions but because Islam sets a double standard, I strongly reject this view. You're asking the world to accept Islam as a superior religion & that's definitely not freedom, it's dead-set compulsion.

What double standard are you talking about?

Sorry! I don't mean to constantly disagree with you guys.

Its ok, you may disagree all the way FHC, no harm.


Salam


Wael.
