The Effects of Islamic Religion on Maintaining the Territorial Integrity
(Part 50)
The Continuation of the Matter:
Anti-Enemy (Animosity)
Islam, from the very beginning has had many enemies because of its legitimacy. The enemies of Islam, which include infidels and hypocrites, have always tried in various ways to destroy or at least restrain Islam, and based on the verses of Holy Qur’an, they intend to extinguish the light of Islam. The religion of Islam warns all Muslims against the plots of the enemies and warns them to distance themselves from friendship with the infidels. All kinds of threats of infidels from the outside as well as hostility within the Muslim community are among the factors that bring together the disparate group of Muslims and bring them to unity, and moreover protecting the Islamic land from the aggression of foreigners and invaders. The enemies of the Islamic nation of any gens (Jews, Christians, Dahrees (Those Who Believe in the Eternity of the world), hypocrites, etc.) are all potential threats to the Islamic world.
The enemies take different approaches to destroy the power of the Islamic countries, including the methods that are now called soft war. Media war and propaganda war threaten all Muslims in all respects. Throughout the history of Islam, all the enemies have done their best to attack the Holy Religion of Islam and its followers with all their might; But the perfection of the legitimacy of Islam has protected this religion from molesting and humiliating of the enemies.
The soft war also threatened the early Muslims many of whom, avoided further damage to Islam by non-Muslims, did not convert to Islam and considered it affront. The enemies had propagated in a very negative way that everyone might have believed that Muslims and the religion of Islam threatened human rituals and customs, disintegrated families, confronted people one against another, destroying healthy cultures, spreading wars, strife, causing discord among people, religions and laws and Islam, mocking other religions and intend to eliminate them, as well as customs, rituals and laws. Creating such negative images from Islam, the destructive media of the enemy on those days was also propagating by composing poetry, speeches and other tools of that time, caused Najashi to ask the immigrant believers to express their views and attitudes on the aforesaid issues clearly. Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (may God bless him and grant him peace) tried to explain the position of Islam in a meeting where everyone was present and rejected all those baseless claims, and this is what is propagated in the world against Islam and introduces Islam as the religion of war and bloodshed and the religion of non-appeasement and compromise now. The transparency of believers in international and foreign forums can thwart this propaganda; As Jafar Tayyar did.
