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.

If we do not believe in Revelation of Qurán and a future Judgment, and claim to do what we like and be independent of God,  how is it that we cannot call back a dying man’s soul to his body when we all are there with him at his death – ...

How can God ever punish us?/ भगवान कभी हमें कैसे सज़ा दे सकते हैं? How is it possible that God can punish man – the one on which He bestows so many Blessings, Grace and Mercy. The one for which everything in the Universe is made subservient – the one to whom He loves so dearly.  Yes, why God will ever want to punish us? What will He get by throwing is His own Creation into the fire of Hell? True, God is not intent on punishment but He created us virtuous and pure, He gave us intelligence and knowledge, He also surrounds us with all sorts of instruments of Grace and Mercy.  If in spite of all this, instead of giving thanks and gratitude by doing what He wants us to do, which is also for our own benefit; we distort our own nature and go against the Will of God.  Yet, His forgiveness is open to us if we will take it. It is only when we have made our own sight blind and changed our soul away from the beautiful pattern in which He formed it, that His Wr...
