Declamation Speech 2
Mr. President, I stand here as an ambassador of Islam, a believer in Islam and a follower of Islam, and I begin in the name of Almighty Allah who introduces Himself as a God mercy and benevolence.
Mr. President, the literal meaning of the word Islam is “Peace“.
But since the 9/11 attacks the perception of the meaning of Islam has undergone a radical transition from peace to something more hideous. terrorism, war, suicide and bloodshed.
Which, Mr. President I as a Muslim cannot tolerate anymore.
So, let me plead my case and refute all the baseless assumptions, misinterpretations and misquotations put forward by the west as an argument.
So first of all I would like to mention few of them…
They say Islam was spread only by the power of sword…
They also question the concept of jihad and blames Islam for each and every terrorist activity in the world.
And They question the way Muslims treat their women and claims it to be oppressive and intolerant.
Mr. President I would like to disagree . because Forcible conversion to Islam has been forbidden by Allah Almighty.
I would give you an example of Hazrat umer *(R.A) Or (May Allah be pleased with him)* who invited his slave to embrace Islam by reciting the verses of Holy Quran. As Allah (SWT) says “Let there be no compulsion in the religion”.
And the whole world has already witnessed the peaceful and prosper Islamic state of Medina in which non-believers were living as happily as the Muslims. Yes Mr. President this is Islam.
And when they question the concept of jihad:
I would like to ask that if any of the defamers of the religion knows that jihad literally means “the spiritual struggle against evil” and it not to be done by sword only but can also be waged in heart.
And those who reserves Islam as the sole cause of every terrorist act in the world even when Muslims themselves are the victims.
Either are ignorant or they do not know that Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran:
That :
If anyone kills a person it would be
