Islam's Rise

Peace be upon you with Gods mercy and blessings/Alsallam alaykum wa rahmato Allah wa barakato

Islam a large followed religion on the face of earth, made of people from all races, cultures, colors and continents.
How did Islam became so popular so fast and why is it still getting more popular and more popular among the people all over the planet .

Islam is a way of life which obviously fits very well with 20+% of the people on the planet, a billion and half+ to give a round number,

How ?

Islam's Expansion is undeniable, one of the fastest and the second biggest, next to Mongolians and by today's standards its the biggest in the world, many say oh well Islam expanded by the sword and force.

When it comes to this topic well lets simply admit that war was how things were done by every single nation in history proves over and over again, that regardless of how intelligent a nation was they were involved in war, strategic, expansion, self defense, ect. Wars were involved and everyone did it. Every civilization did it.

War never benefits people, Islam fully realizes this.This is how Muslims approached war and expansion, The soldiers are ordered to march and seek term with the people in their path, if surrender was not or governing is not to term, then a they battle. They are ordered never to harm A Woman, A Child, Elderly, Innocence. when they reach the cities, they used to throw Gold to the people and immediately started improving and building, all people loved Muslims and wanted to learn anything and everything they could about this movement that's shaking the world today as we speak and is a very hot topic in the media and news.

With that said, we realize that Islam and Muslims also got involved in wars as well, but that is not the reason or how they became so massive and are still expanding till today, Islam took over the Catholic faith as the single most followed faith. A great example is Indonesia has 182,570,000 million Muslims and guess what ? not one Muslim soldier set foot in that land.

War ? nope. Force ? wrong again. Its against Islam to be unjust and forcing people is against Islam.

Many people make the mistake and think that Islam is for Arabs because the Quran is in Arabic, Islam is not limited to Arabs only, for certain the Quran came down in Arabic, but not because of the Arabs, it was because of the Arabic language, a language so deep, specific, rhythmic and very poetic as well. the Arabs were used for their language, not their actions. They were pagans before Islam and worshiped hundreds of gods, mostly personal ones.

The reason Islam expanded so rapidly is because it brings unity, no race, no color, NO ONE BETTER THEN ANOTHER, EXCEPT THROUGH GOOD ACTIONS. Ending racism and promoting good work towards one another. Islam offers a financial free system which the state main duty is to provide to its citizens and the citizens main duty is to serve God.

Where ever Islam's message reached, people accepted it openly and warmly and hold on to there beliefs and pass it on to the young generations, Lets take a look at the Largest Muslim Populations in the World

RankCountryMuslim Population

1-Indonesia 182,570,000
2-Pakistan 134,480,000
3-India 121,000,000
4-Bangladesh 114,080,000
5-Turkey 65,510,000
6-Iran62,430,000
7-Egypt 58,630,000
8-Nigeria 53,000,000
9-Algeria 30,530,000
10-Morocco 28,780,000

This is only the top 10 list, there are much more out there as well. Who would think that one man ( prophet Mohammad) can change and reach the hearts and minds of so many people of all races, colors and cultures?

What he did cannot be by his own doings, an unlearned man, who couldn't read or write, but had the wisdom and pure heart to be a prophet sent by God to deliver the message that will unify all humanity. Which Islam teaches that will happen upon the return of Jesus/Issa pbuh.

Why it keeps Expanding.

Human being are Human beings, if they are Arab, Asian, Latin, White, black, brown, ect, but the are all human beings. DNA connects all these people together, regardless of skin, culture or location, we all have the same DNA that makes us human beings. its our DNA that makes us human and unifies and its in our DNA to follow what makes sense, rational, logic, best fit to belief, ect.

The Quran and Islam are not for Arabs only, Islam and the Quran are to Humanity, every single being, Islam says unify and move forward for God's sake, each others sake, families sake, society's sake, to accomplish and achieve and move forward towards knowledge and great love to God and to serve God. By serving God Muslims are recommended to serve one another and give Zakat/Charity for the poor. In Islam a Muslim is required to pay 2.5% tax for their earnings to the poor. The banks were full and at times could not accept anymore Zakat/Charity. Islam offers a self sustaining system, which operates to serve with no personal gain only God's satisfaction. A society based on complete Zakat/Charity and obedience to God.

All oppressed people, welcomed this system with open arms, no longer they had to live in poverty and in need, these new people come with something no one came with before at least not with this much impact. Thats a very good reason why people revert to Islam, they realize that this is the way to live, while we are here on earth. along side each other, not separated from one another.

Islam is not some idea by any man, Its the laws of God to humanity and the Quran is the complete proof of its message and order to all Muslims, talks about mercy, kindness, charity, helping the needy, taking care of elderly, serving others, to be united and much much more. Its truly an amazing book and how it plays such a large role all over the Muslim people all across the world.

Islam is beyond man, but leaves the door for knowledge wide open and says seek knowledge its everywhere, its about advancing as a nation and a civilization where all people matter and have a voice man and woman.

In many ways Islam is being oppressed today, especially the peaceful true message of Islam, to many poor and uneducated Muslims in the world and not enough leaders care to much bout that. If Islam was followed as its taught, not one Muslim in the world would live in poverty, be uneducated, or be in any financial woes.

That's Islam. Submit and Server God, There is no god but God, and Mohammad and all the prophets ( peace be upon them ) are God's messengers.

Sallam alaykum all
Please share with your friends, May Allah bless you and add to your hasanat
