We are muslim from Indonesia where the most Muslim country in the world. NO sword for winning our heart but by Truth of Islam with akhlakul kharimah (good personality) of Islam Spreader both Islamic shoolar from Middle east and Gujarat trader. ❤
I am a hindu from india. i don't think its fair to say islam spread totally peacefully in indonesia. i agree based on what i have read that the first muslims were traders who spread the religion probably peacefully. but soon, many hindu kings either willingly or due to losing wars, converted to islam and then began fighting the other hindu kingdoms (Demak vs Majapahit). the hindu kings lost these wars and then converted while those that did not wish to convert fled to Bali, which is majority hindu today. if those people felt no threat, they would not have left.
@@treehigh5156 in Indian subcontinent Islam entered way before any Muslim military leader stepped in. Thousands of Pir-Auliyah (saints) died at the hands of local rulers while trying to do Da'wah. It wasn't until like centuries later when they took arms and for a struggle
@@solimullah8762 yes that is correct. i am not denying many people converted peacefully in India. i am simply saying that many were forced as well. the speaker is a muslim and is biased to minimize those points and maximize points that suit his narrative.
@Lucifer Prince do not act like the enemies of Islam didn’t try to persecute and kill Muslims living among them. It all depends on what side of history you are. As history and western imperialism says, in the end the winner is justice. In the case of Islam, god was by the side of the muslims their victory was assured once Allah felt their intentions.
@Lucifer Prince and your name is disgusting, auwdubillahi mina- shaytanirajim. The devil is a lier, a deceptor, at the end of times he will give a khutba in Hell of how he led you all astray and lied purposely to cause the children of adam to go astray. May Allah guide you to the right path.
I am from Malaysia. No army came to this part of the world to spread Islam. History told us that it's the good manners and integrity of the Muslim traders who came to our land attracted the local King. When he converted from Hinduism to Islam the rest of people converted willingly
_According to Famous Historian_ *DeLacy O'Leary* , _in his book_ *"Islam at the cross Road"* _on Page no 8,He says that history makes it clear that the_ *legend of fanatical muslim sweeping across the world forcing Islam at the point of the sword Upon conqured races is one of the most fantastically absurd myth that historians ever repeated* .
Either they'd force conversions, or they'd take their children from their families and force educate them in Christian schools. They were taking children from their families up until the 70s in places like Australia.
My country has the largest population of Islam in the world. And no historical record saying my ancestors were forced to embrace Islam. It came by tradings and marriage, carried by Gujarati muslim merchants.
During the time of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Muslims entered Samarkand as a military deception. Its people said in your religion, we are given a choice for three days to enter Islam, tribute or war, and you did not give us the choice. The army judge ordered that the Muslim army be expelled from the fortified city The commander of the Muslim army hated that because of the difficulty of winning when leaving Certainly you know the leader, and he is the leader Qutayba bin Muslim Al-Bahili, one of the greatest Muslim leaders who conquered Central Asia As a result, its people entered Islam because they found justice This story in the time of the just Caliph Omar bin Abdulaziz

@@treehigh5156 Name me hindu king in this archipelago that were forced to convert due to losing wars. If this is truly how they've been spreading the religion in this region, there's bound to be historical record/surviving accounts of this. There is no compulsory in embracing religion, but as a muslim it is compulsory to spread the message. Whether they like it or not, it's up for them to decide. And if some of them don't like it and decide to migrate away, then it was their decision. If it's true that Islam is a religion of which its followers are required to spread the words with swords, in Indonesia, then there would be no Bali that we've seen today
@@gunting you can look up the Majapahit empire. Iskandar Shah, the son and successor of Hindu King Sri Maharaja is one. what islam says and what muslims do today and have done in the past are often diametrically opposite. for muslims, from what i have seen, the ends (conversion) justify the means (force, etc) even if islam prohibits it. many people don't like the message of islam (too many reasons to list) and want nothing to do with it. you can have your jannah, i have no issue with it. would you like it if LGBT people spread their message to you peacefully LOL; i doubt muslims like you would allow that. Bali is a separate island so that could be a reason. another reason is the muslims who won had no interest in going further east to bali. i never said it spread ONLY by sword just that the islamization of INdonesia/malaysia was not entire peaceful as muslims like you claim. islam has an appeal but it is far from universal.
@@treehigh5156 And which Sultan that forced Him to embrace islam? And the King who's been forcefully converted. I would like to research both figure. It's pretty clear cut in the Quran, that there is no compulsion in religion. Our religion is our religion, your religion is your religion. It is only spreading the message. Anyone who go beyond this, then it is not the Islam religion, but a tyrant

Islam helped Europe escape from dark ages due to church's originally anti science position. Renaissance would not have been possible without Islam. Europe tasted a real multi faith tolerance and multicultural environment, where for example Jews flourished and reached Golden Age in Europe, was under Islamic rule in Spain. Previously life was dire under Visigoth. Unfortunately, Islamic rule in Spain didn't last, and Europe was back to dark age for minorities. Observe Inquisition and fast forward Nazi. If only whole world embraced the spirit constitutions of Medina drafted in 622

Janissary! its important to understand the context and how it was the world at that time, when Ottomanns were rising in the far East, Al-Andalus at the same time in the far west was collapsed under Spanish conquest, they persecuted its people and forced tens of thousands from Muslims to convert to Christianity, many of them were forced to serve in the Spanish navy "Armada", and their expansions to what so-called new world! You don't have one eye, and you must read the situation from all its aspects.
On a second full listen, I’m thinking how your analysis of the “fixations” of certain types of assailants can cause them to become almost mindless in their senseless mobs of violence. Once fixation happens, only Allah can change such assailants trained to hate groups of people together. The blessed New Zealand leader’s knowledge of coexistence is indeed an exemplum for today.🌿 “To rediscover” our Faith-I have never met anyone who forced Islam on anyone-not among thousands of Muslims I have known. (Reminders of prayer? Sure. My mom would remind us--but never forced anything on us). Ameen. Perhaps many Faith families might decide to follow through on their own prospective faith commandments-so essential for maintaining good ties with God Almighty. InshaAllah. Thank you, again, for this heavy knowledge-we never know which informants listen or follow where trying to change what we say.
"The jurists [of classical Islam] reached the conclusion that Islam requires consistent military action against unbelieving peoples if no treaty exists with them" (Abdal Hakim Murad, Cambridge University). There is a significant different between "Islam spread by the sword" and "Islamic rule spread by the sword" and there is no doubt that Islamic rule did indeed spread by the sword. Even Yasir Qadhi admits as much, not to mention Abdal Hakim Murad.
Why is this question relevant anymore? If it was spread by Sword, why not muslims of today leaving it for having all swords against them now?

Islam spread by the sword too. But that doesn't mean people were forced to become Muslims. Muslims conquered lands and in the process people in those lands accepted Islam by their own choices.

You say that sultan take the children with force and raise them with islam. But prophet muhammed (sav) say: "You will conquer Constantinople. Its commander is the best and its army (that will conquer it) is the best." So i don't understand why would our prophet say that he is good? I don't believe that he take the children with force
To those who said Islam did horrible things in Africa: How is it possible the richest person in the world was an African Muslim, Mansa Musa. Can't say the same thing when Europeans came to Africa to spread their religion and well yes, exploit their people and resources. Oh 'slave' in Islamic terms means who you have to give them clothes the same as yours, they have to eat on same table with you, you can't overburden them, slaves are your brothers, you can not resort abuse (not even VERBAL ones) and freeing slaves are noble deeds. It practically abolished slavery. It abolished chained and whipped slavery the world knew and relegated slaves as your very own family whom you should take care of. But i don't think King Leopold of Belgium would agree with this. Look at his treatments to the Congolese. Anyway, Prophet last sermon (632) says" All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action". But if you read Darwin Origin of Species (1859) says "and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla"
Even if you take the anti Islam connotation to paint Islam negatively, unlike the crusaders Muslims opened the doors to nations that were imprisoned under unjust empires. Muslim fought to spread justice and tolerance. Unlike the Crusaders, lands that were opened by muslims retained their cultural identity, kept their wealth, prospered, had freedom to not only practice their religion freely but also their religious practices flourished and religious identity secured. Muslim opening closed unjust empires did not steal its wealth and take it somewhere else like the Crusaders did and still doing. These are FACTS.
@somatotrophin1 That was my reply yes 👍 Now, we both agree that spontaneous existence is unscientific, for example we mosy likely won't wake up tomorrow to find "Universe two". So see, for that reason, I do believe that there is a trigger for "Universe one" a cause that caused it to exist. Are we in agreement still?
@somatotrophin1 Alright, something probably triggered the universe. That trigger I reckon, not only must it possess the power to create out of nothing, but it must also be infinitely intelligent and infinitely wise as to create a universe countless intricate systems. Are we in agreement still? If you want me to cite examples, let me know, I'm fully aware that I'm trying to convince you of something so I'm under obligation to make sense to you.
@somatotrophin1 Excellent, you're one of the few atheists who are not disguised anti-thiests I've seen haha. Now, I consider the following evidences of fine-tuning in the universe, I'd like to know what you think. The earth happens to be at the right distance from the sun to make it habitable. The percentage of oxygen in the air is just right. The pull of gravity is just right to support complex life on Earth. The gravitational pull of the atom is just right to keep the elements intact. The moon is the right size and distance to stabilise the Earth's axis. The Earth's magnetic field is strong enough to deflect the radiation produced by the sun. Naturally there are more examples, we've only talked about the habitat and not the inhabitants.
This was poor as it doesn't address the real issues. While its true that there wasn't forced conversions (generally speaking) its also true that Islamic rule did unquestionably spread by the sword. The early Caliphs conquered Arabia, Syria, Palestine, Iran, North Africa, Spain, South France, parts of the Byzantine empire, Afghanistan and eventually India. That's the historical reality and it was required by Islamic law. Once a territory was conquered for Islam then a relentless social pressure was brought to bare on the non-Muslim peoples of that territory and many would capitulate as a consequence. Islamic _rule_ spread by the sword; and if you doubt that then you know nothing about history.
Was spread of Islam peaceful or forceful? 👉 The beginning spread of Islam gained a great boost by series of battle victories which made Arab Muslims conquer non Arab lands(from Spain,Portugal till pakistan). The early Muslims did spread Islam by conquering lands , but never forced there religion on the local people(approved by historians). 👉 After few centuries the Mongols began to start their barbaric conquest from central Asia and estimatedly killed millions of Muslims marching till iraq. The vast Mongol empire was divided into 4 parts and a descendant of chengis khan accepted Islam by inquiring the Muslims about their religion when they had stopped their journey for prayer. After the Mongol ruler accepted Islam then later on the other 2 parts of Mongol empire also accepted islam and the 4th part of Mongol empire remained in their old religion. Historians say this was the first ever case of the conquered rulers(mongols) accepting or adopting the religion of their slaves(muslims). The descendants of Mongols that is Babur began conquering the land of Indian subcontinent and were later called mughals. 👉 Spread of Islam in africa first by the conquest reached north africa , later on by the trading of Muslims reached east and west africa and also to central africa and beyond till Mozambique. 👉 Spread of Islam in the Indian subcontinent (India,Pakistan, Bangladesh) where in South India Islam reached by the Arabs coming for trading and the local people impressed by their character and conduct eventually began accepting Islam. Interestingly the oldest masjid of karnataka, Tamil Nadu and kerala were established in the 6th century. In North India Islam was spread by a network of sufi preachers that began gaining converts by performing miracles and sharing love. One such example is Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Rahmatullahi Alaih). By the early Muslims being just and honest in trading made Islam popular and gained mass conversions to Islam in Indonesia and Malaysia. 👉 Forceful conversions were very unlikely and very rare to be seen in the spread of Islam. So in conclusion majority of non Muslims that accepted islam was by free will. So the spread of Islam was overall peaceful.
It is true that Islamic history is complex but it is also true that classical Islamic law required relentless military action against unbelieving peoples and we can see how that was enacted historically by the Caliphs. Just consult the different schools of classical Islamic law!
Do not forget about the small North African Muslim sailors in South Carolina. This led to special dispensation for them. Part of the influence can be noted in the flag of SC
Anyone who try to spread islam by force is not a Muslim himself because he's not following teachings Allah and by not following Allah all he is doing is spreading wrong. Islam does not tolerate forced conversion; "There is no compulsion in religion, the right way stands clearly distinct from the wrong way." -Quran 2:256 "Oh you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do" -Quran 61:2-3 Islamic way of spreading islam by logical arguments like wise people; "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best." -Quran 16:125
A very enjoyable talk once again. Although my interest in Islamic history is not new, my elevated level of attention to it is, thanks to your channel here. So, please accept my comment as from a newcomer. Is it not so that the Quran calls for the execution or dismemberment of "infidels"? Sura 5:33, 9:5, etc. Also, I believe many understand the prophet Mohammed to have been a military leader, if not a war lord. Wasn't his conquest of Mecca accomplished through military coercion? Did he not lead battles of conquest in Arabia? Your take on these notions would be very helpful, I think. All religions have regrettable histories to one degree or another, it seems. But the historical actions of the Mahammed himself misunderstood or not as an example to followers is relevant, I'm sure.
Your main issue is that your _"knowledge"_ of Islam is totally biased by the prejudice you're bringing with your attempt to be sincere... Did you know that the word _"infidels"_ is a word that was first used by the crusaders when the attacked Jerusalem and Palestine ?
@@Abou_Salahedine I did not know that. I'm wondering what the correct translation is because I got that "infidel" phrasing from a copy of the Quran. I'm truly trying to understand.
@@chuckhillier4153 *Surat Al Ma'ida 5 : 26/37* _[Allah] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people." (26) And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], "I will surely kill you." Said [the former], "Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him]. (27) If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds. (28) Indeed I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers." (29) And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers. (30) Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?" And he became of the regretful. (31) Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. (32) Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, (33) Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (34) O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed. (35) Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment (36) They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment.

I recommend you to watch another video of Paul’s on this channel with Professor Joel Hayward, it may answer a lot of your doubts. th-cam.com/video/hS7ORAPDkAw/w-d-xo.html
I mean Egypt and the levant like Syria was majority Christian until the 1500s, and even those church fathers who chatted crap about islam all admit that muslims never forced converted them
And before they became Christian they was pagans what’s your point even the Arabian peninsula was pagan at some point you need to be more clear not everything is black and white as you put it Europe also used to be pagan before it turned Christian
You seem to forget Egypt Syria Mesopotamia ( Iraq ) was pagan at some point before it was christianized then later islamized the same argument you use for Islam can also be used for Christianity
Islam is for all humanity Unlike some religions which are only for a specific ethnicity and do not require conversations Islam is for all humanity this is why it’s open to conversations
Thanks for the video. Surely I and many have thought about this. And it has been a long time looking into this. The conclusion is or how we know is simple. Those nations that changed their "language" and perhaps custom were forced by the sword, as there is no other way one can change a nation of its language. Other countries for example India and China, I slam went there by peaceful means, as they, just say India maintain more than 20 languages and culture and monuments. So it is imperative to ask questions, about how can the language of a nation can be changed, and the mechanism used by invaders. Period.
As Muslims, we must all condemn the conquest of Constantinople by Mohammad Al-Fatih. It was unjust and against the rulings of the Quran. Mohammad al fatih disobeyed god and threw away the Quran. Kosovo is the heart of the monasticism world that is very important for orthodox Christian’s. You should all check out “Imran Hosein - Constantinople in the Quran” Imran hosein is a brilliant Muslim scholar and thinker who has transformed many Christians and Christian professors and scholars themselves into believers of the prophet Muhammad and also believers that the Quran is the word of the 1 true god. May god bless Imran Hosein.

The Prophet killed only one person in his life with his sword Abi bin Khalaf One of the chiefs of Quraish, a brother of Umayyah bin Khalaf, who was famous for torturing Bilal bin Rabah. Abi bin Khalaf was killed in the Battle of Uhud in the third year of the Hijri year at the hands of the Messenger Muhammad ﷺ, and he is the only man killed by the Messenger.

Soon brother Paul will run out of topics to discuss. LOL! He is leaving no stones unturned. Short comments about the subject: For almost 5 decades from the rule of caliph Marwan until the accession of Umar Ibn Abd Aziz, conversion to Islam was actually discouraged by the state. Migration to Muslim cities (such as Basra & Kufa) was blocked, & Jizya tax was not dropped even if one converts to Islam. It is not to say that this was an acceptable practice, but the myth of "spread by the sword" could not be more ridiculous. Jizya is a yearly poll tax on adult militarily able free male for exemption from participating in defense, thus excludes women, children, elderly, poor, slaves & the sick (probably 80% of the population). According to the different mathhabs, itIt ranges from 1 to 4 dinars per head ($250 to $1000 in today's money) for lower, middle & upper class respectively. In other words, between $50 & $200 per capita counting the entire population (since probably only a 5th pay). We know from tax reports from Ibn Khaldun (& others), Jizya actually makes only small share of tax revenue in the empire (dozens of millions dirhams from around 500 million dirhams). As to Devsirme (aka Ottoman conscription system), regardless of the un-Islamic nature of the practice, it is still a more superior practice than modern conscription. Devsirme were, effectively, the ruling class of the Ottoman empire, the officers, the admirals, the generals & virtually all grand viziers came from devsirme. Being recruited to this order was the highest honor in the Ottoman empire. Muslims & Turks were not allowed to be recruited. In fact, recruitment in devsirme was so sought after that families would offer bribes to officers to chose their children, for they know that child will grow to have status in the empire & help his family rise in the socioeconomic ladder. Every empire in history uses conscription -for obvious reasons, else will cease to exist. The US is notorious for conscription too, though not in defensive warfare like the Ottomans were conducting at their borders, rather in offensive offensive warfare, like the Vietnam War & the Korean War... The other difference is that Ottoman conscription has the aim to defend the faith & the people, for they recruits are instructed in the Islamic legal, theological & sufi tradition. Unlike in the West, where recruits are taught to obey orders without question.
did the islamic empire reached India, indonesian , malaysia, chechnia,? no, how did this people become muslems? only 10 % of muslem are arabs. thnk you Paul and the brother speacker.,
Easy. I would accept him and Islam easily. Because I know with certainty that this guy is telling the truth and will bring peace if Islam is established. I admit it may be very emotional short-term, but the good that it produces in the long-term compensates for the dramatic short-term.
is democracy spread by the sword ? - yes ! why are Muslims so defensive when it comes to Islam ? ............ Allah has a greater right for His way to prevail over all others . So, if need arises it has and will & MUST enforce Allah's Din ............. NOT force people into Islam but law of the land has to be His
YES look at America when it's Goes to occupy and destroy and kill women and children and old people and animals and plants in another forgein countries especially in the middle East they said they did that to spread democracy and liberty and when they try to defend and help the Zionist occupation state they use one of these lines : 1- they are our greatest allies Or 2- they are the only "democratic" country in the middle East.
_christian spread by sword as they follow the teaching of bible Matthew 10:34 - Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. _*_I did not come to bring peace, but a sword._*_ and luke 22:36 - He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, _*_sell your cloak and buy one._*
The word "sword" is in the King James Version of The Bible *424 times. It is in 384 verses.* From Genesis to Revelations *The Sword Is Used As A Weapon.*
1 samuel 15:3 - Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. *Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”*
Is it not true that the “fifth Rashed Caliph” Omer ibn AbdulAziz stopped the expansion campaign (Futohat) and essentially was against such empire building? Is it also not true that the Ummayiad and other rulers who were involved in such empire building were essentially more interested in collecting Jiziya from non-Muslim subjects than in encouraging people to become Muslim since that meant more money that those rulers had access to? And is it not true that many of these rulers were in violation of Islamic teachings in many areas and therefore did not represent valid Islamic practice?
One of the many reasons Islam spread fast is because many people already believed in Islam instinctively (worshipping the One Creator) and were still resisting and had not succumbed to the enforcement of man made State Religion adopted by the unjust paganistic Empires of that time.

I am a hindu from india. i don't think its fair to say islam spread totally peacefully in indonesia. i agree based on what i have read that the first muslims were traders who spread the religion probably peacefully. but soon, many hindu kings either willingly or due to losing wars, converted to islam and then began fighting the other hindu kingdoms (Demak vs Majapahit). the hindu kings lost these wars and then converted while those that did not wish to convert fled to Bali, which is majority hindu today. if those people felt no threat, they would not have left.

@Lucifer Prince do not act like the enemies of Islam didn’t try to persecute and kill Muslims living among them. It all depends on what side of history you are.

Either they'd force conversions, or they'd take their children from their families and force educate them in Christian schools. They were taking children from their families up until the 70s in places like Australia.
My country has the largest population of Islam in the world. And no historical record saying my ancestors were forced to embrace Islam. It came by tradings and marriage, carried by Gujarati muslim merchants.

During the time of the Umayyad Caliphate, the Muslims entered Samarkand as a military deception. Its people said in your religion, we are given a choice for three days to enter Islam, tribute or war, and you did not give us the choice.
The army judge ordered that the Muslim army be expelled from the fortified city
The commander of the Muslim army hated that because of the difficulty of winning when leaving
Certainly you know the leader, and he is the leader Qutayba bin Muslim Al-Bahili, one of the greatest Muslim leaders who conquered Central Asia
As a result, its people entered Islam because they found justice
This story in the time of the just Caliph Omar bin Abdulaziz
Really like Roman except Christianity and forces to convert all pagan , or Isabella catholic-a fors all Muslim and Jew to convert or like Ivan to terrible invent to Kazan kill them ol or convert or Sirbian first king convert to Christianity leave or kill them all or Greek independent kill 350 000 Muslim in few days , or English colony low convert or stay slave which one we see the love of jc’’

For people who says that Islam was spread by the Sword, ask them which Islamic army spread their swords in Indonesia and Malaysia

@@treehigh5156 Name me hindu king in this archipelago that were forced to convert due to losing wars. If this is truly how they've been spreading the religion in this region, there's bound to be historical record/surviving accounts of this.
There is no compulsory in embracing religion, but as a muslim it is compulsory to spread the message. Whether they like it or not, it's up for them to decide. And if some of them don't like it and decide to migrate away, then it was their decision.
If it's true that Islam is a religion of which its followers are required to spread the words with swords, in Indonesia, then there would be no Bali that we've seen today
@@gunting you can look up the Majapahit empire. Iskandar Shah, the son and successor of Hindu King Sri Maharaja is one.
what islam says and what muslims do today and have done in the past are often diametrically opposite. for muslims, from what i have seen, the ends (conversion) justify the means (force, etc) even if islam prohibits it.
many people don't like the message of islam (too many reasons to list) and want nothing to do with it. you can have your jannah, i have no issue with it. would you like it if LGBT people spread their message to you peacefully LOL; i doubt muslims like you would allow that.
Bali is a separate island so that could be a reason. another reason is the muslims who won had no interest in going further east to bali. i never said it spread ONLY by sword just that the islamization of INdonesia/malaysia was not entire peaceful as muslims like you claim.
islam has an appeal but it is far from universal.
@@treehigh5156 And which Sultan that forced Him to embrace islam? And the King who's been forcefully converted. I would like to research both figure.
It's pretty clear cut in the Quran, that there is no compulsion in religion. Our religion is our religion, your religion is your religion. It is only spreading the message. Anyone who go beyond this, then it is not the Islam religion, but a tyrant

Islam helped Europe escape from dark ages due to church's originally anti science position. Renaissance would not have been possible without Islam. Europe tasted a real multi faith tolerance and multicultural environment, where for example Jews flourished and reached Golden Age in Europe, was under Islamic rule in Spain. Previously life was dire under Visigoth. Unfortunately, Islamic rule in Spain didn't last, and Europe was back to dark age for minorities. Observe Inquisition and fast forward Nazi. If only whole world embraced the spirit constitutions of Medina drafted in 622
Read Speech by HRH The Prince of Wales, at the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford on the occasion of his visit to the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies: Wednesday 27 October 1993
Janissary! its important to understand the context and how it was the world at that time, when Ottomanns were rising in the far East, Al-Andalus at the same time in the far west was collapsed under Spanish conquest, they persecuted its people and forced tens of thousands from Muslims to convert to Christianity, many of them were forced to serve in the Spanish navy "Armada", and their expansions to what so-called new world!
You don't have one eye, and you must read the situation from all its aspects.
On a second full listen, I’m thinking how your analysis of the “fixations” of certain types of assailants can cause them to become almost mindless in their senseless mobs of violence. Once fixation happens, only Allah can change such assailants trained to hate groups of people together. The blessed New Zealand leader’s knowledge of coexistence is indeed an exemplum for today.🌿
“To rediscover” our Faith-I have never met anyone who forced Islam on anyone-not among thousands of Muslims I have known. (Reminders of prayer? Sure. My mom would remind us--but never forced anything on us). Ameen. Perhaps many Faith families might decide to follow through on their own prospective faith commandments-so essential for maintaining good ties with God Almighty. InshaAllah.
Thank you, again, for this heavy knowledge-we never know which informants listen or follow where trying to change what we say.

*Yes & No.* Yes - bcoz to establish Islam Politically. No - bcoz people are not forced to accept Islam.

no it was one hour just to say Moooooodi 🐮
Excellent clarification
"The jurists [of classical Islam] reached the conclusion that Islam requires consistent military action against unbelieving peoples if no treaty exists with them" (Abdal Hakim Murad, Cambridge University). There is a significant different between "Islam spread by the sword" and "Islamic rule spread by the sword" and there is no doubt that Islamic rule did indeed spread by the sword. Even Yasir Qadhi admits as much, not to mention Abdal Hakim Murad.
Why is this question relevant anymore? If it was spread by Sword, why not muslims of today leaving it for having all swords against them now?

Ironically Christianity was spread by the Roman sword & the European musket
And then the Christians ended up slaughtering each other!
It is amazing to this day how the Christianity Paul created convinced the Romans to believe in the Torah.
@@Simon.the.Likeable It amazes me how Paul's bizarre teachings could convince any sane person of anything. It's as if millions of people started following David Icke and regarded him as a messiah (which he himself believed initially).

What made the video also interesting the picture of Thulfiqar sword that was given from the Prophet Mohammad peace be apon him to his son in law and most pious person after the prophet and greatest warrior Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib, it says in the sword لا فتى الا علي ولا سيف الا ذولفقار no man but Ali and no sword but Thulfiqar

Yes! Islam was spread by the sword, a sword of ilm, sword of knowledge!
Sword of critical thinking, sword quest for knowledge.

Conclusion: Islam spread by WORDS, not SWORD.
Islam spread by the sword too. But that doesn't mean people were forced to become Muslims. Muslims conquered lands and in the process people in those lands accepted Islam by their own choices.
FOR THE WORDS AND LOVE OF ALLAH IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE SHARPER THAN ANY DOUBLE EDGE SWORD IT PENETRATES EVEN TO DIVING SOUL N SPIRIT JOINT N MARROW IT JUDGE THE THOUGHT N ATTITUDE OF DE HEART AMEN GLORY TO ALLAH ALLAH BLESS U 🙏❤️
You say that sultan take the children with force and raise them with islam. But prophet muhammed (sav) say: "You will conquer Constantinople. Its commander is the best and its army (that will conquer it) is the best." So i don't understand why would our prophet say that he is good? I don't believe that he take the children with force
To those who said Islam did horrible things in Africa: How is it possible the richest person in the world was an African Muslim, Mansa Musa. Can't say the same thing when Europeans came to Africa to spread their religion and well yes, exploit their people and resources. Oh 'slave' in Islamic terms means who you have to give them clothes the same as yours, they have to eat on same table with you, you can't overburden them, slaves are your brothers, you can not resort abuse (not even VERBAL ones) and freeing slaves are noble deeds. It practically abolished slavery. It abolished chained and whipped slavery the world knew and relegated slaves as your very own family whom you should take care of. But i don't think King Leopold of Belgium would agree with this. Look at his treatments to the Congolese.
Anyway, Prophet last sermon (632) says" All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action". But if you read Darwin Origin of Species (1859) says "and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla"
Im a muslim from malaysia. No muslim army came here, yet most of the archipelago are muslim.
Even if you take the anti Islam connotation to paint Islam negatively, unlike the crusaders Muslims opened the doors to nations that were imprisoned under unjust empires. Muslim fought to spread justice and tolerance. Unlike the Crusaders, lands that were opened by muslims retained their cultural identity, kept their wealth, prospered, had freedom to not only practice their religion freely but also their religious practices flourished and religious identity secured. Muslim opening closed unjust empires did not steal its wealth and take it somewhere else like the Crusaders did and still doing. These are FACTS.
Thanks for this fascinating show
Short answer: No!
Thank you for this!!!
The Christian coping in the comments is of low quality this time, they're failing at distorting history and not much more, disappointing.

Now, we both agree that spontaneous existence is unscientific, for example we mosy likely won't wake up tomorrow to find "Universe two".
So see, for that reason, I do believe that there is a trigger for "Universe one" a cause that caused it to exist.
Are we in agreement still?
@somatotrophin1 Alright, something probably triggered the universe.
That trigger I reckon, not only must it possess the power to create out of nothing, but it must also be infinitely intelligent and infinitely wise as to create a universe countless intricate systems.
Are we in agreement still? If you want me to cite examples, let me know, I'm fully aware that I'm trying to convince you of something so I'm under obligation to make sense to you.
@somatotrophin1
Excellent, you're one of the few atheists who are not disguised anti-thiests I've seen haha.
Now, I consider the following evidences of fine-tuning in the universe, I'd like to know what you think.
The earth happens to be at the right distance from the sun to make it habitable.
The percentage of oxygen in the air is just right.
The pull of gravity is just right to support complex life on Earth.
The gravitational pull of the atom is just right to keep the elements intact.
The moon is the right size and distance to stabilise the Earth's axis.
The Earth's magnetic field is strong enough to deflect the radiation produced by the sun.
Naturally there are more examples, we've only talked about the habitat and not the inhabitants.
This was poor as it doesn't address the real issues. While its true that there wasn't forced conversions (generally speaking) its also true that Islamic rule did unquestionably spread by the sword. The early Caliphs conquered Arabia, Syria, Palestine, Iran, North Africa, Spain, South France, parts of the Byzantine empire, Afghanistan and eventually India. That's the historical reality and it was required by Islamic law. Once a territory was conquered for Islam then a relentless social pressure was brought to bare on the non-Muslim peoples of that territory and many would capitulate as a consequence. Islamic _rule_ spread by the sword; and if you doubt that then you know nothing about history.
Was spread of Islam peaceful or forceful?
👉 The beginning spread of Islam gained a great boost by series of battle victories which made Arab Muslims conquer non Arab lands(from Spain,Portugal till pakistan).
The early Muslims did spread Islam by conquering lands , but never forced there religion on the local people(approved by historians).
👉 After few centuries the Mongols began to start their barbaric conquest from central Asia and estimatedly killed millions of Muslims marching till iraq.
The vast Mongol empire was divided into 4 parts and a descendant of chengis khan accepted Islam by inquiring the Muslims about their religion when they had stopped their journey for prayer.
After the Mongol ruler accepted Islam then later on the other 2 parts of Mongol empire also accepted islam and the 4th part of Mongol empire remained in their old religion.
Historians say this was the first ever case of the conquered rulers(mongols) accepting or adopting the religion of their slaves(muslims).
The descendants of Mongols that is Babur began conquering the land of Indian subcontinent and were later called mughals.
👉 Spread of Islam in africa first by the conquest reached north africa , later on by the trading of Muslims reached east and west africa and also to central africa and beyond till Mozambique.
👉 Spread of Islam in the Indian subcontinent (India,Pakistan, Bangladesh) where in South India Islam reached by the Arabs coming for trading and the local people impressed by their character and conduct eventually began accepting Islam. Interestingly the oldest masjid of karnataka, Tamil Nadu and kerala were established in the 6th century.
In North India Islam was spread by a network of sufi preachers that began gaining converts by performing miracles and sharing love. One such example is Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Rahmatullahi Alaih).
By the early Muslims being just and honest in trading made Islam popular and gained mass conversions to Islam in Indonesia and Malaysia.
👉 Forceful conversions were very unlikely and very rare to be seen in the spread of Islam.
So in conclusion majority of non Muslims that accepted islam was by free will.
So the spread of Islam was overall peaceful.
MashaAllah
So funny
It is true that Islamic history is complex but it is also true that classical Islamic law required relentless military action against unbelieving peoples and we can see how that was enacted historically by the Caliphs. Just consult the different schools of classical Islamic law!
So you accept that your religion hates non-Muslims?
Very educative
Sword of Imam Ali! Loved the thumbnail. There is no chivalry like Alis and no sword but Dhul-Fiqar !
Yes!
Not in this way was the sword of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib.
First, keep it up brother.
Do not forget about the small North African Muslim sailors in South Carolina. This led to special dispensation for them. Part of the influence can be noted in the flag of SC
Paul can you make a video of heroes of islam
Anyone who try to spread islam by force is not a Muslim himself because he's not following teachings Allah and by not following Allah all he is doing is spreading wrong.
Islam does not tolerate forced conversion;
"There is no compulsion in religion, the right way stands clearly distinct from the wrong way."
-Quran 2:256
"Oh you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?
Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do"
-Quran 61:2-3
Islamic way of spreading islam by logical arguments like wise people;
"Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best."
-Quran 16:125
A very enjoyable talk once again. Although my interest in Islamic history is not new, my elevated level of attention to it is, thanks to your channel here. So, please accept my comment as from a newcomer. Is it not so that the Quran calls for the execution or dismemberment of "infidels"? Sura 5:33, 9:5, etc. Also, I believe many understand the prophet Mohammed to have been a military leader, if not a war lord. Wasn't his conquest of Mecca accomplished through military coercion? Did he not lead battles of conquest in Arabia? Your take on these notions would be very helpful, I think. All religions have regrettable histories to one degree or another, it seems. But the historical actions of the Mahammed himself misunderstood or not as an example to followers is relevant, I'm sure.
Your main issue is that your _"knowledge"_ of Islam is totally biased by the prejudice you're bringing with your attempt to be sincere... Did you know that the word _"infidels"_ is a word that was first used by the crusaders when the attacked Jerusalem and Palestine ?
@@Abou_Salahedine I did not know that. I'm wondering what the correct translation is because I got that "infidel" phrasing from a copy of the Quran. I'm truly trying to understand.
@@chuckhillier4153 *Surat Al Ma'ida 5 : 26/37*
_[Allah] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people." (26) And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], "I will surely kill you." Said [the former], "Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him]. (27) If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds. (28) Indeed I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers." (29) And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers. (30) Then Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, "O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the body of my brother?" And he became of the regretful. (31) Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. (32) Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, (33) Except for those who return [repenting] before you apprehend them. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (34) O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed. (35) Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment (36) They will wish to get out of the Fire, but never are they to emerge therefrom, and for them is an enduring punishment. (37)_

I mean Egypt and the levant like Syria was majority Christian until the 1500s, and even those church fathers who chatted crap about islam all admit that muslims never forced converted them
i think up to the late 1500's is farfetched....in no way where they a majority after a couple or 300 years of arab / muslim rule
It’s more like the 1200s
And before they became Christian they was pagans what’s your point even the Arabian peninsula was pagan at some point you need to be more clear not everything is black and white as you put it Europe also used to be pagan before it turned Christian
You seem to forget Egypt Syria Mesopotamia ( Iraq ) was pagan at some point before it was christianized then later islamized the same argument you use for Islam can also be used for Christianity
Islam is for all humanity
Unlike some religions which are only for a specific ethnicity and do not require conversations
Islam is for all humanity this is why it’s open to conversations
Thanks for the video. Surely I and many have thought about this. And it has been a long time looking into this. The conclusion is or how we know is simple. Those nations that changed their "language" and perhaps custom were forced by the sword, as there is no other way one can change a nation of its language. Other countries for example India and China, I slam went there by peaceful means, as they, just say India maintain more than 20 languages and culture and monuments. So it is imperative to ask questions, about how can the language of a nation can be changed, and the mechanism used by invaders. Period.
Indonesia and Malaysia convert to islam easily no bloodshed.

As Muslims, we must all condemn the conquest of Constantinople by Mohammad Al-Fatih. It was unjust and against the rulings of the Quran. Mohammad al fatih disobeyed god and threw away the Quran. Kosovo is the heart of the monasticism world that is very important for orthodox Christian’s. You should all check out “Imran Hosein - Constantinople in the Quran” Imran hosein is a brilliant Muslim scholar and thinker who has transformed many Christians and Christian professors and scholars themselves into believers of the prophet Muhammad and also believers that the Quran is the word of the 1 true god. May god bless Imran Hosein.

YES!! During the OTTOMAN Empire.
Soon brother Paul will run out of topics to discuss. LOL! He is leaving no stones unturned.
Short comments about the subject:
For almost 5 decades from the rule of caliph Marwan until the accession of Umar Ibn Abd Aziz, conversion to Islam was actually discouraged by the state. Migration to Muslim cities (such as Basra & Kufa) was blocked, & Jizya tax was not dropped even if one converts to Islam. It is not to say that this was an acceptable practice, but the myth of "spread by the sword" could not be more ridiculous.
Jizya is a yearly poll tax on adult militarily able free male for exemption from participating in defense, thus excludes women, children, elderly, poor, slaves & the sick (probably 80% of the population). According to the different mathhabs, itIt ranges from 1 to 4 dinars per head ($250 to $1000 in today's money) for lower, middle & upper class respectively. In other words, between $50 & $200 per capita counting the entire population (since probably only a 5th pay). We know from tax reports from Ibn Khaldun (& others), Jizya actually makes only small share of tax revenue in the empire (dozens of millions dirhams from around 500 million dirhams).
As to Devsirme (aka Ottoman conscription system), regardless of the un-Islamic nature of the practice, it is still a more superior practice than modern conscription. Devsirme were, effectively, the ruling class of the Ottoman empire, the officers, the admirals, the generals & virtually all grand viziers came from devsirme. Being recruited to this order was the highest honor in the Ottoman empire. Muslims & Turks were not allowed to be recruited. In fact, recruitment in devsirme was so sought after that families would offer bribes to officers to chose their children, for they know that child will grow to have status in the empire & help his family rise in the socioeconomic ladder. Every empire in history uses conscription -for obvious reasons, else will cease to exist. The US is notorious for conscription too, though not in defensive warfare like the Ottomans were conducting at their borders, rather in offensive offensive warfare, like the Vietnam War & the Korean War... The other difference is that Ottoman conscription has the aim to defend the faith & the people, for they recruits are instructed in the Islamic legal, theological & sufi tradition. Unlike in the West, where recruits are taught to obey orders without question.
Islam was spread by the truth period
on syaban paul almost made this vlog almost every 2 days, hope during ramadhan paul made almost every days

Islamic empire or islam spread by the sword.
From a body language point of view he started lying about the Jiziya and coughing.HEY YOU LIAR WE GREEKS LIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IT
is democracy spread by the sword ? - yes ! why are Muslims so defensive when it comes to Islam ? ............ Allah has a greater right for His way to prevail over all others . So, if need arises it has and will & MUST enforce Allah's Din ............. NOT force people into Islam but law of the land has to be His
Very intelligent reply .
YES look at America when it's Goes to occupy and destroy and kill women and children and old people and animals and plants in another forgein countries especially in the middle East they said they did that to spread democracy and liberty and when they try to defend and help the Zionist occupation state they use one of these lines :
1- they are our greatest allies
Or
2- they are the only "democratic" country in the middle East.
You lost me at Yaqeen Institute
_christian spread by sword as they follow the teaching of bible Matthew 10:34 - Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. _*_I did not come to bring peace, but a sword._*_ and luke 22:36 - He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, _*_sell your cloak and buy one._*
The word "sword" is in the King James Version of The Bible *424 times. It is in 384 verses.* From Genesis to Revelations *The Sword Is Used As A Weapon.*
Luke 19:27 - But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them *BRING THEM HERE AND KILL THEM IN FRONT OF ME.*
1 samuel 15:3 - Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. *Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”*
Is it not true that the “fifth Rashed Caliph” Omer ibn AbdulAziz stopped the expansion campaign (Futohat) and essentially was against such empire building? Is it also not true that the Ummayiad and other rulers who were involved in such empire building were essentially more interested in collecting Jiziya from non-Muslim subjects than in encouraging people to become Muslim since that meant more money that those rulers had access to? And is it not true that many of these rulers were in violation of Islamic teachings in many areas and therefore did not represent valid Islamic practice?

@Oliver Cromwell oh ok thank you for letting me know, i was worried
Yes and no
One of the many reasons Islam spread fast is because many people already believed in Islam instinctively (worshipping the One Creator) and were still resisting and had not succumbed to the enforcement of man made State Religion adopted by the unjust paganistic Empires of that time.
