Historically, Muslim governments did participate in battles and wars, just like any other government. No government or religion can claim not to have participated in such events. But we would like to remind the words of the Jesus (pbuh) who was tortured on the cross: Historically, Muslim governments did participate in battles and wars, just like any other government. No government or religion can claim not to have participated in such events. But we would like to remind the words of the Jesus (pbuh) who was tortured on the cross: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" (John 8:7). "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" (John 8:7).

Islam allows military action only in the cases of self- defense or to repel those who interfere in its affairs. Over the centuries, a vast body of literature on the proper conduct of war was developed. Today, such guidelines are known as "laws of war."

Many Qur’anic verses deal with the concepts of justice and peace, both of which are the current essence of the modern legal system developed to protect life, capital, and reproduction. For example: Many Qur’anic verses deal with the concepts of justice and peace, both of which are the current essence of the modern legal system developed to protect life, capital, and reproduction. For example:

“Deal fairly, and do not let the hatred of others for you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just, for that is next to piety; and fear Allah”(5:8) “Deal fairly, and do not let the hatred of others for you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just, for that is next to piety; and fear Allah”(5:8) “If someone kills another person, unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he had killed all people” (5:32) “If someone kills another person, unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he had killed all people” (5:32) “If the enemy inclines toward peace, you (also) incline toward peace and trust in Allah, for He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing ”(8:61) “If the enemy inclines toward peace, you (also) incline toward peace and trust in Allah, for He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing ”(8:61) “O believers, enter into peace (Islam) wholeheartedly, and do not follow Satan's footsteps, for he is your avowed enemy” (2:208) “O believers, enter into peace (Islam) wholeheartedly, and do not follow Satan's footsteps, for he is your avowed enemy” (2:208)

In the Hadith literature, Prophet Muhammad describes Muslims as those people from whom others are secure from their tongues and hands. [1] In other words, those Muslims who are not known for their provision of security and trustworthiness to others must reexamine their claim to be Muslim.

The Prophet stood up for the funeral procession of a Jew out of respect for the fact that the deceased was a fellow human being. Certainly such religion never allows terror for any purpose.
