This post aims to express Islam's true position towards evil acts of Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, and evaluating mankind.
In today’s world, people are under the illusion that all Muslims are terrorists, or if not terrorists, they automatically assume that Islam is a religion with warped thoughts and beliefs. While there may be those few people who can be titled as “extremists” or “terrorists”, they are definitely not Muslims, as terrorism and violence goes completely against the teachings of Islam and against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Islam is a religion that believes and works to promote peace and justice; it is a religion that strives to achieve perfection in mankind and to ensure that everyone behaves according to proper moral conduct. If a Muslim engages in terrorism, he is not following Islam. He may be wrongly using the name of Islam for political or financial gain.
"Suicide is haram in Islam. It's prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder."
Islam is in fact a religion that promotes peace and understanding among people of all faiths, and it strongly prohibits all forms of violence and aggression against all people regardless of their faith or race.
The "root" of the word "Islam" in Arabic is SALAMA which is the origin of the words Peace &/or Submission, a submission to God and peace to all humanity. It is, thus, no wonder why the salutation in Islam is: "Al-Salamu Alaikum or Peace on You."
In this regard, prophet Mohammad ordered his fellow Muslims to salute others Muslims or non-Muslims with peace when he said: "Peace Before Speech"
It is a Rule in Islam that during war time, an enemy warrior who pronounces the word peace is totally immune.
Respect for humankind is one of the basic teachings of Islam. Anyone, be he of one’s own religion or of any other religious tradition, whether he belongs to one community or another; whether he belongs to friendly group or enemy group, in all cases is worthy of respect. According to the teachings of Islam human beings are to be respected, despite their differences. Even where antagonism is displayed, we have to adopt the way of avoidance of conflict and continue to show respectful behavior. In the eyes of Islam all human beings are equal and deserve our respect.
