RE:TRUE JIHAD
by Ismail Sayyed on Jul 30, 2007 09:34 AM

Physical Jihad cannot be waged with the objective of compelling people to embrace Islam. The Glorious Qur%u2019an says:
%u201CLet there be no compulsion in religion%u201D [Al-Qur%u2019an 2:256]%u201CIf it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!%u201D [Al-Qur%u2019an 10:99).If the enemy offers peace, it should be accepted even at the risk of possible deception. The Glorious Qur%u2019an says:%u201CBut if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things)%u201D [Al-Qur%u2019an 8:61]
