Starting business that can help a nation prosper
How are you sure your cause is for the pleasure of Allah. From what you have posted I would not want to be led by you in faith. Most Prophets of God were not killed in the cause of Allah. You need to think and ponder over the Quran, as Allah says. Its contextual and it's not only about dying for Allah. Don't misrepresent the faith.
I am genuinely curious. After the Prophet passed away, the wars that followed, are they called Jihad?
just be worthy of Allah's mercy. simple as that. disregard the christian concept of "atonement", its nothing more than a fancy way of saying that I can do whatever the hell I want cuz I've supposedly been "saved" from all the past, present and future sins.
Muslims REALLY need to get over this concept of trying to "justify" everything that the Holy Prophet's (PBUH) companions did after he passed away. Keep live simple people, just know the Quran and the sunnah and make your decisions accordingly. Allah will not ask any muslim about the people of the past so stop following the people of the past save the Holy Prophet himself. simple as that. What the companions did and how they lived is theirs to answer for, not ours. Stop needlessly complicating your lives.
Are you talking about living for the cause of Allah or dying for the cause of Allah. The latter is obviously about your politics.
I disagree. it is NOT merely a defensive struggle. It is a struggle for justice and equality as defined by Allah swt in The Holy Quran. christians were throwing those other christians to the loins for not believing in the council of nicea, they were discriminating against jews, and a bunch of other things; the same goes for the persian empires, you were basically a property of the persian king if you were in his empire, no rights what so ever, the king himself claimed to be persia itself...arrogant much? We have been commanded to stand up against that. So when the Holy Prophet (PBUH) sent out letters to accept Islam, it wasn't simply to just "become muslims" by believing in Allah and his final messenger, those letters were a demand to cease and desist from all injustice, perversions and wrong doings the persians and the roman christian empires were engaged in. That's why Dr. Israr Ahmed said that the belief in Islam was NOT spread by the sword but the Islamic system WAS spread by the sword and righly so. Rest assured, a lot of jews and a lot of women were glad that Muslims spread their Islamic system by the sword, otherwise who knows how many women would've been burnt at the stake just for being accused of "witchcraft". that crap continued up until 200 years ago even here in the american 13 colonies.
That is blasphemy, you have not read the Quran with understanding. Islam is religion of submission in faith and worship to the unseen Creator.
