Insha'Allah in due course i have made the intention to go through the whole Qur'an and deal with the subject of Islam and terrorism, the first ayah i want to discuss is ayah 2:11 in which Allah says:
æóÅöÐóÇ Þöíáó áóåõãú áÇó ÊõÝúÓöÏõæÇú Ýöí ÇáÃóÑúÖö ÞóÇáõæÇú ÅöäøóãóÇ äóÍúäõ ãõÕúáöÍõæäó
And when it is said to them do not make mischief in the earth! They say indeed we are the peace makers.
ÃóáÇ Åöäøóåõãú åõãõ ÇáúãõÝúÓöÏõæäó æóáóÜßöä áÇøó íóÔúÚõÑõæäó
Indeed they are the mischief makers but they do not perceive.
These verses was revealed about the hypocrites who disguised themselves as Muslims only to cause trouble between the Muslims and the non Muslims with hope to bring about a war in which the Muslims would be annihilated by the enemy, they hoped to get rid of Divine Law so they could continue to follow their wishes and desires.
Whilst thinking to there selves they are doing good for society blinded by their own selfish gain they infact were doing damage to society but could not see the seeds of trouble they were sowing.
Like for example the present day situation we commonly hear world leaders discussing how they plan to bring freedom and liberty and peace to a nation, but the method they use is not bringing freedom liberty nor peace, they bomb innocent civilians, use chemical warfare (mass weapons of destruction) which destroys all forms of life.
We hear of numerous reports in the media itself of prisoners of war being falsely imprisoned beaten stripped and raped.
The world leaders claim they want to stamp out terrorism but infact they inflict terror but never seem to reach their goal of catching the terrorist they are out to get, infact innocent people die and oil pipes seem to get built in the process of this ‘War against Terror’.
The same with the people amongst who claim to be Muslims with very extreme views, Islam is a religion of peace, Islam means to submit to God with a peaceful surrender and to submit yourself to His command, God commands goodness and Justice to be done throughout the earth yet there are few amongst us killing innocent people in the name of Islam.
Do they not see the trouble they have caused? The difficulty that every Muslim is facing living in this hard time today when we are thought of as terrorists?
We are all the children of Adam and that fact must be respected whether the people are Muslim or non Muslim, life is sacred in which only God has the right to take. The killing of innocent lives is indeed causing trouble especially when it is in the name of a peaceful religion.
Muslims should be making peace in the earth and not causing trouble claiming to make peace. As Ibn Kathir (Rahmatullah alayhi) says in his tafseer ‘what they adopt claim to be good actions is but corruption, none the less, in their ignorance they fail to realize that it is corruption’.
