Among the notable characteristics of Islam is that it guarantees freedom of belief. Allah (SWT) said: “There is no compulsion in the Faith.” (Al-Qur’an 2: 256). Allah (SWT) further adds: “If it had been your Lord’s will, they would have believed – all who are on earth.” (Al-Qur’an 10: 99). Allah (SWT) did not make every human being a believer, without a choice, like the angels. Even the Prophet (SAW) was not allowed by Allah to compel people to become Muslims. Instead, Allah commanded the Prophet (SAW) to invite people to Islam with wisdom and kindness. Allah (SWT) said: “{O’ Prophet} call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way.” (Al-Qur’an 16: 125).

Man has been created in the best form of all living things on earth, and is therefore urged to utilize the resources on earth with great care and responsibility. As life in the next world depends on his actions in this world, he should view all his actions as a mode of worship of Allah. In this regard, all his actions should benefit him and other people.

The Hijrah is a physical journey undertaken by Prophet Muhammad (saw) and his companions from Makkah to Madinah. It is a story of planning, patience, endurance, striving, and eventual triumph in the face of seemingly extreme hopelessness.
