When the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble soul, conquered Mecca, not a single drop of blood was shed. Almost every prisoner was forgiven in the end, and each and every one of them, enlightened by the peace and mercy radiating from the faith, reverted to Islam.
The very people which had before expelled Muslims from their holy city, were forgiven in the end by Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble soul. The Quraysh, very tribe which had plotted to murder the life of the Prophet, was forgiven in the greatest of mercy and manner.
Hinda, the woman who had chewed the liver of the Prophet's beloved uncle, Hazrat Hamza, in public, was forgiven by the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble soul, when she begged for mercy.
When the forces of Sultan Salaheddin ibn al-Ayubi conquered Jerusalem from the hands of the barbaric king of England, Richard, not a blood was shed and not a person was harmed. What a great contrast from the Crusaders, who had murdered every innocent person in Jerusalem when they had it conquered during the First Crusade.
When the perfect Muslims forgave their greatest enemies, why cannot the Muslims of today? What are we compared to the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble soul, and Salahuddin? Glory be unto Allah, the Most Benificent and Merciful.
Peace is what Muslims must strive in:
"So patiently persevere: for verily the promise of Allah is true: nor let those shake thy firmness, who have (themselves) no certainty of faith. " al-Qur'an 30:60
Glory be unto Allah, the Most Benificent and Merciful.
The Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble soul, forgave his greatest enemies and accorded them the best of mercy. The Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon his noble, is the Divine Example, and it is one of the greatest ebadaat to follow him.
" Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. " Quran 33:21
Glory be unto Allah, the Most Benificent and Merciful.
Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, orders the Muslims to be just and fair, fighting for fairness, even if it can mean being against our own parents or kin.
"O You who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor, for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the cravings of your hearts, lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do." al-Quran 4:35
Glory be unto Allah, the Most Benificent and Merciful.
Peace and mercy is etched into the heart of Islam, the faith of justice. Any act breaking the rule of mercy and peace, is thus breaking one of the greatest laws of the faith of Islam.
And verily, unto Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, is our Return and our Judgement.
