(Surah 8, Verse 70). > > And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the > captive, (Saying), We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we > desire from you, nor thanks." (Surah 76, Verses 8-9). > > In addition, the following were the instructions of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) > to Muslims who are forced to fight a war: > > "Do not kill women or children or non-combatants and do not kill old people > or religious people,'' and he mentioned priests, nuns and rabbis.

Nor must there be > control over the sources of the wealth of the nation or people, or even > establishment of colonial regimes. Justice and freedom must be established. > Tolerance towards cultures and peoples is to be respected at all times. > Islamic Principle: There is no Compulsion in Religion > The verse from the Qur'an which states this principle of no compulsion in > religion is the following: > "Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: > whoever rejects Evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy > hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things." > (Surah 2, Verse 256). The holy Qur'an reminds us that there must not be > compulsion in religion. It states that the truth stands out clear from error, > and that those who reject error and believe in God are the saved ones. > This means that Muslims are not allowed to force people to convert to Islam. > Muslims should only seek to make the truth clear to others, and talk to them > about Islam, then let them decide for themselves. In fact, most people who > study Islam without having made a decision to hate it first come to love its > message and convert to Islam after learning about it's values and principles. > Another verse that also states this principle is the following: > "If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he > may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure. > That is because they are men without knowledge." (Surah 9, Verse 6). This > wonderful verse instructs Muslims to grant asylum to non-believers, and make > them safe, and allow them to hear the word of Allah. Then they are to be > escorted to whatever place they will be safe and secure in. This is because > these non-believers simply have no knowledge of Islam, and no knowledge of > the word of Allah. > What a wonderful religion Islam is! How can this be compared with the way > that Christians spread their religion? They spread it by genocide, mass > murder, kidnapping of children and wiping out of entire nations and > civilizations! Ask the natives of the Americas, Australia and Africa about it! > " ... and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the > Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your part). Help ye > one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin > and rancour: fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment." (Surah 5, Verse > 2). > "Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: then > will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and > intimate!" (Surah 41, Verse 34). > "O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even > as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be > (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts > (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to > do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do." (Surah 4, > Verse 135). > "God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids > evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed." > (Surah 16, Verse 90). > "And if ye do punish them, punish them no worse than they punished you: but > if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are > patient." (Surah 16, Verse 126). > The first three verses above instruct Muslims to fight those who fight them, > and not to commit aggression first, as God does not like transgressors. They > also instruct Muslims to stop fighting those who wish to cease fighting them, > and to accept peace with the enemy who becomes inclined towards peace. > The fourth verse mentioned above instructs Muslims that if someone > transgresses against them, they should respond to them likewise, and it > reminds Muslims to fear God and to restrain themselves to this limit. > The fifth verse reminds Muslims not to let hatred of some people for past > reasons to lead them to transgress against those people or be hostile towards > them. It also instructs us to help each other in good and righteous actions, > and not to cooperate in aggression and sin, and it reminds them finally of > the strict punishment of God to encourage them to abide by these principles. > The sixth verse reminds us that goodness and evil are never equal, and that > we should repel evil with good actions. This means that when someone is > unjust to us or commits evil against us, we are encouraged to respond with > kind and good actions, so that the hatred between us and that person will > evaporate and will become an intimate friendship! > The seventh verse mentioned reminds us to stand up for justice, even if it is > against ourselves or our family, and even if it is against those who are rich > or powerful, because justice applies to everyone. It also reminds us that God > knows everything we do, and so if we act unjustly even in our hearts, God > knows what we did and we will be accountable for that. > The eighth verse informs us that God enjoins us to follow justice, and that > God forbids us from committing evil, vice and transgression. > The ninth and final verse reminds Muslims that if they are punished, that > they may only respond with the same punishment and not to go over this limit. > However, they are reminded that forgiveness and patience is the best course > of action. > These are the wonderful ideals of Islam: > To pursue peace with everyone including past enemies, except when they fight > the Muslims and refuse peace, then Muslims are allowed to fight in > self-defense. > To ensure that we always apply justice and never transgress against others > even if they are our enemies. > To repel evil actions with good actions, in order to replace hatred with an > intimate friendship. > To respond to punishment with the same punishment, but that forgiveness and > patience is even better than retaliation. >
