possibly the biggest lie ever by muslims is that are peaceful and Islam is peace
Jihad al Talab (offensive jihad) proves violence is there in the texts of Islam
Look at this, I am getting this from a Islamic source:
Jihad al-Talab wal Ibtida’ (Offensive Jihad / Jihad of Conquering)
This is the request and call, from the Muslims to the Kuffar (disbelievers) in their lands and dwelling
places to enter Islam and to fight them if they do not accept the rule of the Islamic authority over them.
This type of Jihad is a collective obligation (Fard ul-Kifaya) upon the Muslims. There are numerous
evidences detailing this type of Jihad in both the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
Qur'anic Evidences for Jihad al-Talab:
Allah (swt) says,
“Then when the Sacred Months have passed, then kill the Mushrikun wherever you find them, and
capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. But if they
repent and perform As-Salat, and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.” [EMQ 9:5]
“And fight against the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah)
collectively as they fight against you collectively.” [EMQ 9:36]
“March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and
poor), and strive hard with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah. This is better for you, if
you but knew.” [EMQ 9:41]
Prophetic Traditions (Ahadith) Regarding Jihad Talab:
The Prophet (saw) is reported to have said in Sahih Bukhari,
“I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that there is no one worthy to be
worshipped except Allah (swt) and that Muhammad (saw) is the Messenger of Allah and they establish the
Salah and give the Zakah. If they perform such actions then their wealth and their blood has protection
from me except by the Right of Islam and their account is with Allah (swt).”
The Prophet (saw) has also said as reported in Sahih Muslim,
“Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a
holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies;
do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses
of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them
any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from
fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of Muhajirs and inform
them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. If they refuse
to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muslims and will be subjected to the
Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fai'
except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers). If they refuse to accept
Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If
they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.”
In addition it is reported in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet (saw) said,
“Whosoever dies and does not fight (Jihad) nor wished himself to fight, dies upon a branch of hypocrisy.”
All of the above explicit texts, and the numerous others found in the Qur’an and the Sunnah indicate the
obligation upon the Muslim to fight against the Kuffar on an offensive basis. The Ulema (Islamic scholars)
are in consensus that to fight Jihad against the Kuffar in their lands, to invite them to Islam and if they
don’t accept, to fight them or take the Jizya (tax) from them is a divinely ordained obligation (Fard) that
has not been abrogated.
Statements of the Ulema regarding Jihad Talab
Hasan al-Banna
Hasan al-Banna compiled all the statements of the scholars regarding the obligation of Jihad in his book
about Jihad and commented,
“You can see from all the statements of the Islamic scholars from those of the Mujtahideen (those
capable of deriving new rulings), to those of the followers of the early generations, to those scholars of

recent times that Jihad is a duty of sufficiency upon the Muslim nation whose purpose is to spread the
call of Islam.” [Al-Jihad pg. 84]
From what we have shown, Jihad by the way of conquering is a duty of sufficiency only if enough people
go out in its way. If such a situation occurs, then the sin is lifted from those remaining Muslims who did
not go out; this is the understanding of the majority of the scholars. However, some of the Ulema of the
Salaf, and what has been reported by some of the Sahabah including Sa’eed bin Musayab (ra), were of the
understanding that Jihad of conquering is actually an individual obligation upon each Muslim (Fard ‘Ayn)
the same way defensive Jihad is Fard Ayn. Ibn Hajar (rh) said,
“Some of the Sahabah understood from the Words of Allah (swt) when He (swt) said, ‘Go out lightly or
heavily’ the generality of the order. These Sahabah (ra) were always present in all the battles and raids
that took place during their lifetime’s right up until their death. Those who held such an opinion were
Abu Ayub al-Ansari (ra), Miqdad bin al-Aswad (ra) amongst others.” [Fath al-Bari Vol. 6/28]
