practical moral behavior which it promotes. Allah says in three places
in Quran [Tawbah 33, al-Fath 28 and as-Saff 9]:
هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ
لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ
It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad (peace be upon him))
with guidance and the religion of truth to make it superior over all
religions.
In the previous verse, the word guidance is the ideology and knowledge
that satisfies one’s heart, and the religion of truth is the acts of
worship which is based on justice and mercy to the mankind. These were
the ingredients of Muslim’s success. With this ideology they opened
the hearts of millions of mankind before they opened their land. Once
they accepted this religion and tasted the sweetness of worshipping
one Allah alone and enjoyed the justice of Islam, no one –if give
option- wanted to seek any alternative ideology.
Islam has turned the mindset of the converted nations. They become
submissive to one supreme power (i.e., Allah), after they have
suffered a lot when they gave their submission to entities that had no
power, like some men like them, or stones or trees, etc. Islam came to
occupy all the needs of submission, which the weak mankind searches
for, and was created for. Islam was the default ideology and practice
that the early mankind followed since the descent of Adam and Eve on
this Earth. Satan tried since then, to change this monotheistic
ideology of Islam 100%, and if not possible then 99% and if not
possible then –for sure- 1% is better than 0%. Today, Satan has
nations and communities who oppose Islam 100% and has those who oppose
it 1% and has all the greyscale in between.
