Islam is Not Terrorism

Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

The honorable the audiences wo has coming today. First of all, thank you for having me here in
this fine and joyfull morning. I hope we are all in the good health. It is a great honor for me to
stand here.

Also it is an honor for me to be able to share with you some of my thoughts on how Islam is as a
religion of peace which is unfortunately misunderstood by world society. So, i would explain to
you about peace in Islam on my speech today wich entitled Islam is Not Terrorism.

Ladies and gentlemen

Maintaining peace is one of the highest desires of peoole in this time. However, unfortunately
peace is becoming more difficult to find anywhere. There is a lot of war going on in many
places. Everyone consider themselves as the right ones and think of others as the wrong ones,
without trying to understand each other.

Islam offers the real peace for the whole of people. We do not say that Islam is the only religion
which offers peace. However, the term of ‘Islam’ itself is from the Arabic words ‘Salam’ which
mean peace or submission to the Will of Allah. Someone, who commits acts of terrorism, even if
committed in the name of Islam, does not deserve to be called Muslims.
Indeed, the true Islam is that which contained in the Qur’an (Holy book of Islam) and in the
Sunnah (The sayings of the prophet Muhammad SAW). And not everything that is said to be
Islam is in considered part of the religion of Islam. It needs to be returned to the Qur’an and to
the Sunnah.

Allah, the Most Merciful, said:

“And do not kill those souls whom Allah has prohibited unless justified by a due legal right”
(Surah Al-An’am 6:151)

The Prophet of Muhammad (SAW) said, in an authentic hadeeth by Imam al-Bukhari,

“Whoever kills a non-Muslim who has an agreement with the Muslims then he will not smell the
fragrance of Paradise”

In the other authentic hadeets by al-Bukhari, The Prophet of Muhammad (SAW) also said,

“A true Muslim, is that the one from whose tongue and hand Muslims are safe”

It is very clear that Islam gives a warning against every acts of terrorism. And we surely
understand, if the acts of terrorism are committed by a Muslim, meaning that they have violated
Islamic rule within the Qur’an and Sunnah. Only people who love peace can be called as a truly
Muslim.

Dear my audiences,

According to the United Stated (US) National Counter-Terrorism Center, Al-Qaeda kills over
seven times more Muslims than non-Muslims and United Nation’s report, Muslims are the
largest victims of ISIS. Also the US State Department has reported, Muslims are also the largest
victims of terrorism in general. So, the only relationship between Islam and terrorism is Islam is
the most victims of it.

Ladies and gentlemen

Finally, this is the true Islam that I can explain to you today. Far away from the image raised by
the media, the message of Islam actually offers a peace for the whole of mankind, against any
forms of terrorism acts. All humans, whatever their religion, are invited to come and discover the
peaceful message of Islam.

Let us all work together to maintain the peace. Let us hold hands together to create a peaceful
paradise on earth. May Allah help us to do so. God bless us all. Ameen.
