After the terrible terrorist attack in London, everyone is pointing the finger at Islam and Muslims.
So does Islam promote violence?
Does Islam support terrorism?
Is Islam a religion of extremist and fanatics?
The following tradition of prophet Muhammad (PBUH), will clarify that Islam is a faith that promotes peace and harmony and one that is against violence.
<b>âa perfect Muslim is one from whose tongue and hands mankind (word mankind used instead of Muslims) is safeâ.</b>
<b>âit is unworthy of a Muslim to injure peopleâs reputation and it is unworthy to curse any one and it is unworthy to abuse any one and it is unworthy of a Muslim to talk arrogantlyâ.</b>
<b>âfaith is a restrain against all violence, let no Muslim commit violenceâ.</b>
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked<b> âwhat actions are most excellent in Islam?â he replied â to gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injuredâ(words are used for all human being not only for Muslims).</b>
<b>Some people asked Allahâs messenger âwho is a good Muslim?â he replied one who avoids harming the people (words used people not Muslims therefore it is for all human being) with his tongue and handsâ. âa believer remain within the scope of his religion as long as he doesnât kill another person illegally.â</b>
<b>The Quran sums it up by saying âanyone who has killed another person it is as he has killed the whole of mankind and anyone who save one life, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankindâ.</b>
Islamâs basic teaching is the promotion of peace between individual and the implementation of peace within society. Islamic teaching is totally against violence, terror and chaos.
