00:00Today, in India, more than 75% are non-Muslims. 75%. If we Muslims wanted at that time, we could have forced every non-Muslim to accept Islam at the point of the sword. We didn't do it.
00:18If we had done that, there wouldn't have been more than 75% non-Muslims. These 75% non-Muslims of India, they are giving shahada, they are bearing witness that Islam was not spread by the sword.
00:32At that time, when we ruled India for a thousand years, the Muslims, if they wanted, they could have forced every non-Muslim to accept Islam. But they didn't do it. Because Islam does not give permission. Islam says, there is no compulsion in religion.
00:48So, these more than 75% non-Muslims of India today are giving shahada, they are bearing witness that Islam wasn't spread by the sword.
01:01Which Muslim army went to Indonesia today? According to statistics, Indonesia has the maximum number of Muslims in one country. According to India, about 229 million Muslims in Indonesia.
01:18Or 249 or 240 million or 240 million. In India, the government says 215 million. 14.3%. According to me, it's much more. More than 280 million. More than 20% are Muslims.
01:36But even if you agree. So, Indonesia, which is theoretically supposed to be the country which has maximum number of Muslims in the world.
01:45I am asking you a question. Which Muslim army went to Indonesia? Which Muslim army went to Malaysia? Which Muslim army went to the east coast of Africa?
01:53To Senegal. Later on, the Britishers come. And they play games.
02:15And they play games. So, these countries are giving shahada that Islam was not spread by the sword.
02:25Which sword? Thomas Carlyle. He writes in his book, Heroes and Hero Worship.
02:30That you should first get your sword. Every new idea initially begins in the mind of one. In one man, in the full world alone.
02:42And if one man alone propagates and picks up the sword, it will be no benefit.
02:48First, you have to get the sword. Which sword is Thomas Carlyle talking about?
02:53He's talking about the sword of the intellect.
02:56I started my talk. My quoting was of the Quran of Surah Nihal chapter number 16.
03:00He was wondering how he says,
03:02Invite all to the way of their Lord with wisdom and will be preaching.
03:10And argue with them. And reason with them.
03:13In the ways that are best Muslim Christians.
03:15It's the sword of the intellect.
03:18It's not the sword of steel.
03:20Even if you had the sword of steel, you could not use it.
03:24Allah says in Surah Baqra chapter 2 verse 256.
03:27Laikra fiddeen.
03:28There is no compulsion in religion.
03:30Truth stands out clear from error.
03:31Anyone who holds and grasps the hand of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
03:36he will take you from darkness to light.
03:39There is no compulsion in religion.
03:41It is the sword of intellect.
03:43Sword of hikmah.
03:44And today, we find that the fastest growing religion in the world today,
03:52in America, it's Islam.
03:54The fastest growing religion in Europe is Islam.
03:56And if you read the Reader Digest Almanic Yearbook of 1984,
04:07and this article was repeated in the Plains Ruth magazine,
04:10it gave the increase in the major world religion in a span of 50 years,
04:15from 1934 to 1984.
04:17And the article said the maximum increase in religion in these 50 years was Islam.
04:27235 percent.
04:29Christianity, only 47 percent.
04:33I am asking you the question,
04:34which war took place in these 50 years from 1934 to 1984,
04:41which converted or increased the number of Muslims all over the world?
04:46Which war?
04:47235 percent.
04:50Islam?
04:51Only 47 percent.
04:53That means five times more.
04:56Five times.
04:5847
04:59multiplied by five
05:01is 235.
05:02Islam spread five times more than Christianity in these 50 years.
05:07Which war took place in these 50 years
