Is Islam a Peaceful Religion?!
by hmaslehat on Jun.08, 2009, under Islamic Debate (S)
Everyone was ready for the debate, mostly Sajidah and Zainab. Mashallah these two girls were fully prepared and they had their resources ready in their hands. This one seemed to be a tough debate for our CNN news reporter guest.
So the CNN news reporter started by saying Prophet Muhammad (PBH) spread Islam by sword and he was a warrior prophet. And in Islam people can kill each other under the name of Jihad. Islam in not a peaceful religion despite all the claims you Muslims have.
Our guest tried to support her claim by using the verse in the Quran that says (… Slay the pagans where ever you find them …9:5)
Now it was Zainab’s turn, she immediately caught the CNN news reporter’s trick. Zinab said to our guest “that you did not mention the entire verse; the verse will start with saying ‘When the sacred months are over, slay the pagans where ever you find them….. If they repent, perform prayers, and pay the religious tax, set them free…. 9:5). Zinab and Sajidah start giving more explanation about the history of this verse as they said that this verse was revealed when the pagans of Mekaa broke the peace treaty of Hudaybiyah. They started to explain what the history of Hudaybiyah was:
So the pagans of Mekka were giving Muslims a very hard time for three years. And then prophet Muhammad (PBH) signed a peace treaty with the pagans of Mekaa called “the treaty of Hudaybiyah”. Based on this peace treaty Muslims were now able to enter Mekka, perform pilgrimage and go to their families. After this treaty was signed, then Allah (SWT) revealed chapter 48, Surah Al- fath (The Victory). As the first verse of this chapter says: “we have granted to you a manifest victory 48:1) this means that the greatest victory of Muslims was through pen and paper, not sword.
Because now Muslims were able to meet their families and preach Islam and this was the best way Islam could’ve been spread. Not by sword, but through educating people.
However, when the pagans of Mekka broke this treaty, then Allah (SWT) revealed Surah Al-Tobah, chapter 9. Where Allah allowed the prophet to fight with the pagans, but at the same time Allah says that only fight those who broke the treaty “ This does not apply to the pagans with whom you have a valid peace treaty and who have not broken it from their side…. 9:4)
As Allah also says give them respite for four months, for them to repent, if after 4 months they didn’t repent, then fight back.
Zinab also said that, because pagans of Mekka broke the peace treaty, even after all the oppression they did to Muslims, then Allah revealed surah al-Tobah, and this is why this Surah does not start with “ In the name of God, THE BENEFICENT THE MERCIFUL” because now Allah has removed his mercy from those who broke the treaty.
Our guest was stunned with the responses she was getting; she tried to escape from the hard time our Muslim girls were giving her. But whatever our guest tried to use to attack Islam, she failed BADLY!!!
At the end every one recited a loud Salawat for Zinab and Sajidah…. Mashallah to both of you!!!
These soldiers of Islam know who to defend Islam !
So the trophy goes to our Mohebban girls. Our CNN news reporter guest was actually sneaking out while she was covering her red face. However, before she leaves the room she said she will be back next time and will question the justice of Islam, because Islam allows man to have more than one wife. So lets see if our soldiers of Islam will be able to win the debate next time or not!!!
