Islam a peaceful religion

THE religion selected by Allah is Islam. The word 'Islam' means peace. Though unpleasant but it is true that recently the terms 'jongi' (militant) JMB, etc., are being are reported by the media to us. The violent activities of these outlawed groups are keeping the whole nation in a state of panic. Does Islam really support it Never. Rather Islam is down-to-earth and we are even ordered to present it simply.brIn the country, one kind of the so-called parties, in the name of achieving heaven, is doing violent activities one after another and bombing at shrines. They are impolite in speech towards the Greatest and Most Favourite Prophet ('sallal lahu a alaihi wasallam'), his followers and even to the saints of Islam and misinterpreting the holy Quran and the holy Hadith. Apart from going beyond the limit of law, they are throwing the whole mankind into danger and spoiling the image of Islam. Seeing their heinous activities, members of other faith are laughing at Islam. Moreover, Muslims are being disgraced and being blamed for their activities.brThe Quran and Hadith-the order of Allah and Rasul- inspire us to love Allah's creation. There is no denying that every man and women should feel safe to be a follower of the Holy Prophet. Now what so we really see on the ground Who gave the title 'Al-Amin' to our Most Favourite Rasul Surely they were not Muslims!brIslam is not the name of violence, actually it is a peaceful religion for all.brOur life is very short but there are a lot of activities to do.brWe should do only the valuable ones related to human welfare.brHabibur Rashid IsmailbrJamea Rahmania Fadil Madrasah,brChoitenyar Hat, Chittagong.br
