Prove Islam is Peaceful

If a Non-Muslim who was previously at war with Muslims and establishes a peace treaty, it is strictly forbidden to harm them in Islam.

📜 Source: Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 3166

Narrated`Abdullah bin`Amr: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “ Whoever killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims, shall not smell the smell of Paradise though its smell is perceived from a distance of forty years."

In Islam, Muslims are allowed to fight in only 2 conditions from the Quran.

First, They're allowed to fight as a self-defence against those who waged war against them

📜 Source: Quran 2:190

Fight in the cause of Allah ˹only˺ against those who wage war against you, but do not exceed the limits. Allah does not like transgressors.

Second, Muslims are allowed to fight to remove oppression and harm

📜 Source: Quran 22:39-40

Permission ˹to fight back˺ is ˹hereby˺ granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ˹prevail˺. ˹They are˺ those who have been expelled from their homes for no reason other than proclaiming: “Our Lord is Allah.” Had Allah not repelled ˹the aggression of˺ some people by means of others, destruction would have surely claimed monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which Allah’s Name is often mentioned. Allah will certainly help those who stand up for Him. Allah is truly All-Powerful, Almighty.


This commandment obliges Muslims to accept peace when adversaries show willingness to cease hostilities.

📜 Source: Quran 8:61

If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them. And put your trust in Allah. Indeed, He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.


If you saved one soul, as if you saved all humanity

📜 Source: Quran 5:32

That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.

COMMANDMENTS OF WAR IN ISLAM:

1 - Do Not kill Children, Women, Elderly and Sick persons.

📜 Source: Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith 2614

Do not kill a decrepit old man, or a young infant, or a child, or a woman; do not be dishonest about booty, but collect your spoils, do right and act well, for Allah loves those who do well.

2 - Do not enforce Islam.

📜 Source: Quran 2:256

Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood.

3 - Don't kill enemies who run away in war and escort them to a place of safety

📜 Source: Quran 9:6

And if anyone from the polytheists asks for your protection ˹O Prophet˺, grant it to them so they may hear the Word of Allah, then escort them to a place of safety, for they are a people who have no knowledge.

4 - Do not kill an animal except for eating
5 - Do not kill a sick person

Do not slaughter sheep or camels except for food. Do not burn bees and do not scatter them. Do not steal from the booty, and do not be cowardly.
