Policy of Peace in Islam

English book, p. 471

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

universal democratic revolution in modern times has given complete religious freedom to Muslims of all over the world. This is a great blessing of God, which they never had in any given period of history. Muslims must fully avail this blessing of freedom. If the political institution is in the hands of non-Muslims or secular Muslims, they should not wage war against them. Accepting freedom of worship with gratefulness and contentment, they must put the political matter into the future slot (That is, to wait for the times to change in their favour by the grace of God). Such response from Muslims would in itself be a great form of worship. According to a hadith ‘the Prophet said: “Waiting for an opening is a superior form of worship.”
