Dear members of the list ,Assalamu Alaikum. I am forwarding to you my reply to an important questio sent to me by one of students, who is a teacher of Dhaka University.Shah Abdul HannanDear Atiq,Assalamu Alaikum.Islamic states can not invade any country now as, through multi lateral and bi-lateral international agreements, signing of UN charter etc, we Muslim states have agreed willinglyto the principle of equality of states,non-interference in each other's affairs, non-agression.We have to abide by these agreements in terms of Quranic provison of fulfilling agreements(Maida 1 and numerous other verses).So there is no question of agression of another state.Please read the book Islamic Theory Of International Relations by Dr Abdul Hamid Abu Suleman, IIIT publication., Virginia, USA.Further , it is not necessary to conquer any state to introduce Islam. Islam can be communicated through books,TV channels, Radio broadcasts and local communitiesChacha----- Original Message -----From: atq atiqTo: sahannanSent: Monday, August 15, 2005 2:32 PMSubject: a questionDear Chacha,Assalamu Alaikum.I need to know your view on the following issue. So please write me whenever you get time.Question:As far as I know, according to some classical fiqh opinions, Islamic state may invade the neighboring states [if they have strength] to establish Islamic rules, to erradicate injustice, etc; though they also have said firmly that there will be no compulsion in religion and no force can be applied to convert to Islam.I want to know whether at present, Islamic state can do this. Why or why not? My understanding says - no. Please clarify it.Make dua for me pls.Allah Hafezaa

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
