  1. Hi Muslim Times:

    Thank you for this post. I have an honest question as I attempt to better understand Islam. Are Muslims required to advance their faith by violence, as we observe in Syria and Iraq, for example, at this time? Does the Quran require that Muslims advance Islam in the ways which we observe there? Thank you for your time.

  2. It may be that Allah will bring about love between you and those of them with whom you are now at enmity; and Allah is All-Powerful; and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

    Allah forbids you not, respecting those who have not fought against you on account of your religion, and who have not driven you forth from your homes, that you be kind to them and act equitably towards them; surely Allah loves those who are equitable.

    Allah only forbids you, respecting those who have fought against you on account of your religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and have helped others in driving you out, that you make friends of them, and whosoever makes friends of them — it is these that are the transgressors.

    (Al Quran 60:8-10)
