Religion of Peace

(Muhammad Usman Siddiqui, Karachi)

The topic "Islam is a religion of peace" is based on such a reality which cannot be denied because it is an eternal truth. To support my point first of all we discuss about what is meant by the word ISLAM?

The root of the word ISLAM is "salam" which means "Peace" so it means peace and safety and ALLAH ALMIGHTY calls his being to "The House of Peace".

In Quran ALLAH says;
"To you be your religion, and to me my religion."
According to this verse one can live according to his own religion of once own choice, This shows the great importance. ISLAM attaches to such values as mercy and compassion and when there is mercy and compassion, ofcource the will prevail all over.

Once our Holy prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (P.B.U.H) stands in the respect of non Muslim. When he goes back, the people said to HAZRAT MOHAMMAD (P.B.U.H); "Oh prophet he was a funeral of a Jew not a Muslim", the HAZRAT MOHAMMAD (PBUH) replied" Was he not a human being?" so ever human being is worthy of respect.

unfortunately because of the middle Eastern events of the last couple of decades ISLAM has been branded by the media as a religion of violence....this is totally wrong and against all the facts. it is just like saying that the CATHOLIC CHURCH promotes violence and terrorism due to Irish Republican armed activities..., ISLAM is a religion of peace in its fullest sense.

ISLAM says " murder of one person is the murder of all humanity"......this wholly depicts the picture of a religion which always protest the inhumane behavior of the individuals of society......Islam not only gives rights to Muslims but it equally supports the identity and rights of non-believers as well.


IN MY WAY, THE LIGHT I SEE,
THE SHADE, LIKE A TREE,
IT IS A MESSAGE, WHICH I FOLLOW,
THE MESSAGE OF ISLAM,
PEACE EVER WHERE AND HARMONY...........

(THANKS)
