VIOLENCE AND HAVOC

Submitted by MOHAMAD NOZZI (Singapore), Mar 30, 2009 at 22:29

I am a Muslim convert. I have been taught, from young, to be a good Muslim. However, I have seen many Muslims act against non-Muslims by means of violence and havoc in which I deeply believe that they act against Allah's commandment.

Surah 2:112, "...whoever submits His whole self to Allah and is a doer of good, - He will get his reward". The phrase, a doer of good, in Surah 2:112 demands us not only to be a person that has to commit his/her life to Allah, he also needs to do good. Thus, the work of vandalism, violence and havoc acts against non-Muslims would not cause Allah to be happy with them since this act indeedly violates the commandment that has been laid down by Allah.

The same is supported in Surah 2:82, "But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are companions of the Garden".
