Islam and Peace
Non-Violence and Islam
~ 282 ~
the time of Hudaybiya the Prophet of Islam had not
found justice. He had achieved peace but only by
delinking it from justice. The Prophet had made this
peace not to exact justice but to receive the
opportunities. And great opportunities for
dawah
action did open up with the establishment of peace.
The Prophet exploited these opportunities in full
measure. Therefore, in just a few years’ time the
Prophet not only ensured justice, but set Islam upon
a much more solid footing.
The Muslims of the present day have to understand
this secret of nature. Only then will it be possible for
them first to find peace, then ultimately their
desired goal of justice.
CONCLUSION
In October 1997, I met a 36-year old European, Leon
Zippo Hayes, who was born in the city of
Christchurch in New Zealand. After having studied
Islam, he has changed his religion. His Islamic
name is Khalilur Rahman. Passing through Muslim
countries he is going to perform Hajj by land.
