Did Islam spread with sword?/ क्या इस्लाम तलवार से फैलाया गया?


Did Islam spread with sword?/ क्या इस्लाम तलवार से फैलाया गया?

“Fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians have ever repeated”, says a noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in his book “Islam at the cross road (Page 8)”.

And if someone says, that Islam teaches violence and hatred then such a person does not know nothing about Islam.

For Islam is based on the association of a human being with the Supreme Being. This bond of love between the created and the Creator is as strong as the one which we have with our parents in general or even stronger. The Supreme Being is a permanent companion and a sure help in emergency, if approached aright. But, men often mistake His help for apparent causes. Islam demands reason and common sense as there no place for mysticism in its teachings. Despite being strict in its discipline, the living relation of love and liking between man and the Supreme Being makes Islam our natural religion of love and mercy.

The present paradox which we are witnessing today, the dissatisfaction and dejection prevailing in the very midst of riches and prosperity of the modern world is due to this fact of turning away from Islam – turning away from our natural urge of associating ourselves with our Creator.

Professor C.E.M Joad in his book “The Present and Future of Religion” describes this horrifying situation as he writes about the west:-

“For the first time in history there is coming to maturity a generation of men and women who have no religion and feel no need for one. They are content to ignore it. Also they are very unhappy, and the suicide rate is abnormally high.”

Today, the highest paid doctors in the United States of America are the psychiatrists who treat mental illnesses, trying to cure the internal vision of those who have misused their external sight and made themselves blind of the next world – the world that really matters,and in this is a Big Clear Sign for all those who want to –

Think again…

And whosoever turns away from My (Allah’s) remembrance, verily for such is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment. (Al-Qur’an Ch. 20 Ver. 124)

क्या इस्लाम तलवार से फैलाया गया?

"कट्टरपंथी मुसलमानो ने दुनिया भर में फैल कर तलवार के दम पर हारे हुए मुल्कों को इस्लाम के लिए मजबूर किया बेहतरीन बेतुकी बात है जो इतिहासकारों कभी दोहराई हो।" लिखते हैं एक प्रसिद्ध इतिहासकार डी.लेसी.ओ'लेरी अपनी पुस्तक इस्लाम एट क्रोस रोड (पृष्ठ 8) पर।

और अगर कोई ये कहता है, कि इस्लाम हिंसा और नफरत सिखाता है तो ऐसे व्यक्ति को इस्लाम के बारे में कुछ भी नही पता।

क्यूंकि इस्लाम ईश्वर के साथ मनुष्य के रिश्ते पर आधारित है।  सृष्टि और सृष्टिकर्ता के बीच प्रेम का यह बंधन उतना ही मज़बूत है जितना कि हम अपने माता-पिता के साथ सामान्य रूप से रखते हैं या उससे भी अधिक मज़बूत। ईश्वर एक स्थायी साथी है और आपातकालीन स्थिति में एक निश्चित मदद है, अगर सही तौर पर देखा जाए, लेकिन लोग अक्सर गलत कारणों के लिए उसकी मदद मांगने की गलती करते हैं।  इस्लाम तर्क और ज्ञान की मांग करता है क्योंकि इसकी शिक्षाओं में रहस्यवाद के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है।  अपने अनुशासन में सख्त होने के बावजूद, मनुष्य और सर्वशक्तिमान के बीच प्यार और विश्वास का यह रिश्ता इस्लाम को प्यार और दया का हमारा स्वाभाविक धर्म बनाता है।

वर्तमान की विडंबना जो आज हम देख रहे हैं, आधुनिक दुनिया में धन और समृद्धि के बीच व्याप्त असंतोष। यह असंतोष इस्लाम से दूर होने के कारण है - अपने निर्माता के साथ खुद को जोड़ने के हमारे प्राकृतिक आग्रह से दूर होने के कारण।

प्रोफेसर सी.ई.एम.जौड अपनी पुस्तक "द प्रेजेंट एंड फ्यूचर ऑफ रिलिजन" में इस भयावह स्थिति का वर्णन करते हुए, पश्चिम के बारे में लिखते हैं: -

“इतिहास में पहली बार ऐसे पुरुषों और महिलाओं की एक पीढ़ी आ रही है जिनका कोई धर्म नहीं है और उन्हें इसकी आवश्यकता भी नहीं है।  वे इसे अनदेखा करने में संतुष्ट हैं।  साथ ही वे बहुत दुखी हैं, और उनमें आत्महत्या का दर असामान्य रूप से अधिक है।"

आज, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका में सबसे अधिक वेतन पाने वाले डॉक्टर मनोचिकित्सक हैं जो मानसिक बीमारियों का इलाज करते हैं, उन लोगों की अंदर की आँखों को ठीक करने की कोशिश करते हैं जिन्होंने अपनी बाहरी दृष्टि का दुरुपयोग किया और खुद को आगे आने वाली दुनिया से अंधा बना लिया – वो दुनिया जो वास्तव में मायने रखती है, और  यह उन सभी के लिए एक बड़ा स्पष्ट संकेत है जो चाहते हैं -

फिर से विचार करना…

और जो कोई भी मेरी (अल्लाह की) याद से दूर हो जाता है, उसके लिए एक तांग ज़िन्दगी है, और हम उसे क़यामत के दिन अंधा उठाएंगे। (अल-कुरान सूरा 20 आयात 124)

 Islamization of Education --(TEACHER'S MANUAL)  By Dr. Bilal Philips The topic of Islamization of Education has been under discussion for almost the last 40 years. It can bedated back to at least the 20th century, where educators from various parts of the world gathered in Makkah in the 70s, and analyzed the problems. Muslims were facing with regards to Education. They looked at the existing models and discussed Islamic requirements, and they wrote about the need for Islamization of knowledge as it is conveyed in the educational institutions. In fact, they virtually wrote an encyclopedia on the topic at hand. Since that time, a number of Islamic schools have arisen in Muslim countries.. Education is primarily the responsibility of parents, it is primarily the responsibility of the Muslim parents to educate their Muslim children. The early scholars of the past, whether Imam Malik, Shafi’ee or Sufyaan Ath-Thawree ,talked about their mothers and not particular schools....

How a Muslim accepted Islam..!

How a Muslim accepted Islam..! Bought up in India under the mix influence of Hindu-Christian culture, celebrating Birthdays, New years, Christmas, Diwali as well as Eid and Bakra-Eid while going for prayer to Jumma Masjid every Friday with my father. Although born in a Muslim family, by the time I finished my graduation I was totally unaware of what Islam is, not knowing even the meaning of word Islam itself. But one day, one of my father’s friends forgot a copy of the Quran with English translation in our home and I started reading it. I myself didn’t know that what is going to happen after that. When I studied the Quran with open eyes it was a new world altogether, the spell of all that I had read in my school and college days were cast asunder. It was like wandering in ignorance up till now and the real roots of knowledge seemed to be found. By the Grace of Allah, I was from the world of falsehood into the world of truth – from doubt...

What was the message of Jesus..?

What was the message of Jesus..? If there would have been more than one master of this universe, then there would surely have been great crisis. But, we don ’ t see any crisis around us, in fact there is such a perfect harmony behind all the forces of nature that no reasonable mind can fail to see behind all creation one single and all powerful Command of one single and all powerful Creator. Therefore, reason refuses to accept the idea of conflicting gods, and points towards the Unifying command in creation indicating the Unity of the Creator. This is not only the message of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) but the message of all the Prophets who came before him. The message given to every Prophet in all ages was to believe in One and Only God confirming with the fundamental basis of creation on which this universe runs. They never say anything before they receive Allah ’ s commands to say it, and their acts are conditioned accordingly. This is also the teac...

मिराज क्या है ..?

मिराज क्या है ..? मिराज भ्रम की एक अजीब घटना है। रेगिस्तान में एक अकेला यात्री, प्यास से लगभग मर रहा है, पानी की एक विस्तृत शीट देखता है। लेकिन हकीकत में वहां कोई पानी नहीं है, यह उसकी दृष्टि का एक धोका है - एक मिराज है। वह उस दिशा में आगे बढ़ता रहता है, लेकिन कुछ भी नहीं पाता और आखिरकार चरम शारीरिक और मानसिक दर्द में मर जाता है। ईश्वर का अस्तित्व एक पूर्ण वास्तविकता है, जबकि दूसरी ओर उसकी अस्वीकृति, खुद में वास्तविकता नहीं है बल्कि इस पूर्ण वास्तविकता से इनकार है - एक मिराज है। जो लोग इस तथ्य से इनकार करते हैं, उसके विरूद्ध विद्रोह करते हैं, और उसके चिन्हों को देखने से इंकार करते हैं, वे महासागर के गेहरे अंधेरों में हैं, अंधेरे में लहर, एक दूसरे के ऊपर, और उसपर घने अंधेरे बादल! वास्तविकता की दुनिया में प्रकाश का सच्चा स्रोत अल्लाह है, और जो लोग इस प्रकाश से खुद को काटते हैं वे वास्तव में अंधेरे में हैं, क्योंकि यह केवल एकमात्र सच्ची रोशनी को अस्वीकार करते हैं। उनके सभी कर्म एक मिराज द्वारा भ्रमित आदमी की तरह हैं। जिस सच्चाई को उन्होंने खारिज कर दिया वह हमेशा उनक...

DO WE HAVE FREE WILL OR NOT ? WHAT IS PREDESTINATION (QADAA AND QADAR) ?

Qadar Qadar is an Arabic word, meaning predestination or “divine fore ordainment”. It is one of the sixth pillar of faith, along with faith in unanimity of Allah, the revealed scriptures, the prophets, the days of resurrection, and archangels. Note that  what’s  meant by belief in Q ada’ (   the Divine will) is , sure  belief that everything that happens  in this   universe happens by  will  and decree of Allah . Belief in Q adar (   the Divine decree   )  is the   important pillar  of faith , and no one’s  faith is complete  without   it. In Saheeh Muslim (8)  it is  narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (   may Allah be  pleased  with him   )  heard that some  folks  were denying Q adar. He said ,  “If I  me et these  folks,   I will  tell them that  I have  nothing  to do with them   and that they have nothing   ...

THE DAY I DIED

Life is unpredictable. But I always thought I could predict what was going to happen next. It was only six days ago. I was driving home with my friends, Malik and Omar. It was Halloween night. We had just watched the movie Saw 3 at the recently refurbished theater at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santo Monica, CA.  It was 11:46 p.m. when I glanced at the clock on the dashboard and realized I hadn't made Isha.(night prayer)  But I didn't say anything, so as not to upset the mood. Just three hours earlier, I put off the Isha prayer until after the movie. Now, I was running out of time.   I only lived 26 years. My 27th birthday was exactly two weeks away. I always imagined I would live long. At least until age 60. It just wasn't imaginable that I would have such a sudden, unexpected death. I had graduated from the University of Southern California three years earlier with a degree that means absolutely nothing right now. Shortly after, I landed a job as a marketing di...
