Islam Rediscovered
21. Islam in History
~ 377 ~
Muslims are in the third and final stage of their
history, when the progress of religious freedom has
reached its zenith. Now Muslims have to continue
the task of conveying the truth to people and it is
imperative that they do so by adherence to peaceful
methods. The truly shining example of religious
achievement, according to the testimony of the
Qur’an, is that of the followers of Christ.
Judging by the above-quoted words of Abdullah
ibn Umar, the obstacles in the path of
da’wah
work
have been removed forever. If obstacles reappear,
this will surely be as a result of some ill-considered
policy pursued by the Muslims themselves. If the
Muslims are able to refrain from adopting any
erroneous course, no real obstacle should ever come
in the way of the call of the truth until the advent of
Doomsday.
