I don’t wish to leave this
topic till the time, it does not become obvious for the Muslims in the light of
Holy Qur-‘an that: What the Muslims should do nowadays. At
least; we must try our best to understand it. It is possible that our effort
may be fruitful for peace in the world.
It appears from above both
Chapters that nowadays, there is no form of war for Muslims, because sounds are
echoing in the world that freedom of opinion and religion is natural right of
every human being. No one can fill his opinion or religion in any other’s mind
with force. Along with it, this freedom is also being strengthened that no
individual or group may use deceitful behavior, pressure, hidden or open
threats for making their own traditions current or persuading by flattery or
influence.
If the world has really
conspired on these matters and it has been decided that every individual and
nation is free to go on its own way, and every nation can arrange an
organization of its matters according to its internal circumstances, and it can
spread openly its judgment, and every group or community will watch the freedom
of every individual collectively, then such root will be cut, due to which;
burden of war was loaded on the head of Islam by force.
Islam lays stress on its
followers and instructs them that they should never fight for any other purpose
except the cause of preserving the freedom of human conscience. Thirteen years
calamitous life of Muslims in Makkah is evident of it.
It can be understood from these
Chapters that the Muslims can live peacefully with those people who do not
fight Muslims because of the religion. Existence of the Muslims in human
society is only for the purpose that they should give confidence to the hearts
of the people with their behavior and manners that really, this nation is able
to be followed.
It must be remembered that
Islamic acts like “offering the prayer, fasting, paying the poor-due and
performing the Pilgrimage (Hajj)” have been prescribed for the purpose that by
means of them, we may learn to produce good habits into us. If this demand is
not fulfilled by them then, either we did not understand the religion Islam
correctly, or we took it as “the people should tremble from the name of
Muslims”, whether their beliefs are good-for-nothing, deeds worthless and
morality lowest.
Bear in mind! Threatening the
human beings like this; is not the aim of Islam. Islam desires to teach that
the Believers should compel the world to accept it by showing their manners and
behavior; that if, some best and noblest people exist in the world, those are
these “Muslims”. Otherwise these entire are only fables.
