Preaching & Practice did the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) bring “evil and inhuman”? A cursory glimpse of  Muhammad’s teachings   and practice  is sufficient to make it  loud and clear  that the Prophet perfected  virtues  and raised  kindness  and  compassion  to their zenith. Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him." -  Diwan Chand Sharma in his " The Prophets of the East ," Calcutta 1935, p. 122.     observation
Against Intoxicants and Gambling “ They ask you concerning intoxicants and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit.” – (2:219) “ O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (sacrifice for) idols, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: avoid these so that you may be successful.”- (5:90) Quran on Intoxicants and gambling   “ Any drink that intoxicates is unlawful”- Muhammad (pbuh) Prophet on Intoxicants
Against Murder and Mischief on earth "Do not kill a soul which Allah has made sacred except through the due process of law." (6:151) "The greatest sins are to associate something with Allah and to kill human beings." – Muhammad (pbuh) Quran on Murder  “ So eat and drink of the sustenance provided by Allah, and do no evil nor mischief on the (face of the) earth.” ( 2:60) Quran on Mischief Prophet on Murder  “  But Allah loves not mischief.(2:205)
Against adultery, fornication, and homosexuality “ Nor come near to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil way” (17:32) Quran on Adultery “ We also (sent) Lot: He said to his people: "Do you commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?” (7:80) Quran on Homosexuality “ ( O Men) Verily, with lust you approach men instead of women: nay, but you are people given to excesses!” (7:81) “… Marry them, then, with their people's leave, and give them their dowers in an equitable manner - they being women who give themselves in honest wedlock, not in fornication, nor as secret love-companions…” (4:25)
Against consumption of orphan property “ Hence, render unto the orphans their possessions, and do not substitute bad things [of your own] for the good things [that belong to them], and do not consume their possessions together with your own: this, verily, is a great crime.”(4:2) Quran on Protecting Orphans “ Behold! Those who devour the possessions of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame” (4:10)
Against immorality ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],X " Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression" (5:3) " O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former)” (49:11) " Avoid suspicion as much for suspicion in some cases is a sin” (49:12)  " Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames (49:11) Quran Says: "  And spy not on each other behind their backs.   (49:12)
Against racism "This letter was sent from Malcolm to his assistants, new Muslim Mosque, press and his wife, during the conclusion of his pilgrimage to Mecca. The content is reproduced from The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley“ (From  http://www.africawithin.com/malcolmx/letter_from_mecca.htm ) “ During the past eleven days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass, and slept in the same bed, (or on the same rug) -- while praying to the same God -- with fellow Muslims, whose eyes were the bluest of blue, whose hair was the blondest of blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white.  We were truly all the same (brothers) -- because their belief in one God had removed the 'white' from their minds, the 'white' from their behavior, and the 'white' from their attitude.”  –  MALCOLM X An Excerpt Brotherhood Blacks & Whites eating from the same plate “ A white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action”- Muhammad (pbuh)
Messenger of Love “ Feed them properly and provide them rest before they are exhausted and tired”   Animals “ Whoever brings dead land to life, that is, cultivates wasteland, for him is a reward therein.”  Environment “ he was a staunch advocate of environmental protection. One could say he was an "environmentalist before his time," a pioneer in the domain of conservation, sustainable development, and resource management, and one who constantly sought to maintain a harmonious balance between man and nature”.  observation Francesca De Chatel, Anthropologist   Teachings of the Prophet (pbuh) “ All creatures of God form the family of God and he is the best loved of God who loves best His creatures”  All Living Beings
Messenger of Mercy ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ And We have not sent you except as a mercy to mankind" ( Holy Quran 21:107 ) observations
Greatest emancipator of women   ,[object Object],[object Object],“ It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women,  but they also have rights over you . Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under Allah's trust and with His permission.  If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness.  Do treat you women well and be kind to them , for they are your partners and committed helpers.”  ( From The Last Sermon of the Prophet (PBUH )
Human Rights in Islam Right to a basic standard of Life Right to Safety & Security Right to Chastity Right to Freedom Fundamental Human Rights Right to Life Right to Justice Right to Equality Right to support virtues and shun evils These rights were introduced 1400 years ago
Quote of Note ,[object Object],This is an explicit prophecy in the Bible about the coming of the Holy Prophet MUHAMMAD (pbuh)!"  ( For details please refer to h ttp://www.irf.net/what_the_bible_says_about_muhammad.doc . ) >>> The Pope should have referred to the Bible! .
Evidence from the Bible “ I shall command him” means  God shall command the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) God cannot command “evil and inhuman”  as stated by the emperor Manuel Paleologos   “ him” is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)  Should the Pope quote someone who speaks false about God? In Deuteronomy 18:18 "It is my ardent hope that Muslim and Christian religious leaders and teachers will present our two great religious communities as communities in respectful dialogue, never more as communities in conflict."   John Paul II
Spread of Islam Was Islam spread by the sword?   If indeed force was used to convert people, why do millions of converts remain attached and committed to Islam in the absence of any force? NO Quran does not permit it “ There is no compulsion in religion; indeed truth has been made manifestly distinct from error”  (Quran 2:256) It was the invitation to truth, reason, mercy and peace that attracted people to Islam.  It was the virtuous character of Muslim envoys, Muslim traders and Muslim visitors that pulled people to Islam. No Muslim army went to China during the 7 th  century Tang dynasty! The Great Mosque of Xian, China was built during the Tang Dynasty (7 th  Century) and renovated later. The mosque is still in use. Wikipedia
Views of Non-Muslims Intellectuals “ I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life.  It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission.  These and  not the sword  carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.”   Young India “ The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Quran in the other is quite  false .”  Islam, 1931 M.K Gandhi A.S Tritton observations
Myth Busted ,[object Object],[object Object],“ History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims, sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of sword upon conquered races is one of the most  fantastically absurd myths  that historians have ever repeated."  DE LACY O'LEARY, ISLAM AT CROSSROADS, London, 1923
The Power of Truth Source: Reader’s Digest  Almanac Year Book 1986 “  Which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?”- Dr. Zakir Naik “ Incidentally these well-established facts dispose of the idea so widely fostered in Christian writings that the Muslims, wherever they went, forced people to accept Islam at the point of the sword false.”  The Prospects for Islam, 1944   Lawrence E Browne observation %age increase of religions between 1934 and 1984
The Real Reason Divine Guidance One God Social System Moral System Political System Human Rights Worship System Economic System Prophethood Of Muhammad (pbuh) Accountability In the Hereafter Justice System Trade & Commerce System God says: “This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.”- Quran (5:3) Islam spread due to its inherent truth and the solutions it offers for success

The information provided in this presentation makes it amply clear that Islam is an invitation to virtues, humanity, peace and success. This truth, not the sword, is responsible for the growth of Islam in all ages. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peacefocus

  • 19. Spread of Islam Was Islam spread by the sword? If indeed force was used to convert people, why do millions of converts remain attached and committed to Islam in the absence of any force? NO Quran does not permit it “ There is no compulsion in religion; indeed truth has been made manifestly distinct from error” (Quran 2:256) It was the invitation to truth, reason, mercy and peace that attracted people to Islam. It was the virtuous character of Muslim envoys, Muslim traders and Muslim visitors that pulled people to Islam. No Muslim army went to China during the 7 th century Tang dynasty! The Great Mosque of Xian, China was built during the Tang Dynasty (7 th Century) and renovated later. The mosque is still in use. Wikipedia

These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.” Young India “ The picture of the Muslim soldier advancing with a sword in one hand and the Quran in the other is quite false .” Islam, 1931 M.K Gandhi A.S Tritton observations
