the opposite, he called to peace and submissiveness and to leave the rule
of the land to others (Matthew 22:21). He told his followers that he yet
had
many things to teach them
but they could not bear them yet and that
another would be coming after him who would teach them the complete
truth (John 16:7-14).
Muhammad
(pbuh) too began his ministry preaching submissivness and
passiveness. However, his ministry was nurtured by God almighty to a
point where it was able to defend itself and establish justice in the earth
and abolish evil. His followers fought
several wars in self defense and
against injustice
. The
Islamic empire
finally stretched from China to Spain
and even those who did not follow Muhammad (pbuh) knew him well.
However, what did they know him for? They knew him for his
"kingly"
actions
and not for the "priestly" side of him that his followers knew.
"And fight against them until persecution is no more and religion is for God
alone. But if they desist then let there be no hostility except against
wrongdoers" --The Qur'an, al-Baqarah(2):193
"Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognize him Muhammad as
they recognize their sons. But verilly, a party of them conceal the truth
while they know it" --The Qur'an, al-Baqarah(2):146
Over time, the prophesies of the Jews began to become a
little blurred
,
and this in addition to the continuous persecution of many nations towards
the Jews eventually lead to their
blending
of these prophesies into
one
single prophesy
and their aggrandizing of this one all- conquering
wondrous event that would finally relieve them of their persecution and
pave the way for them to march forth conquering all nations, and
establishing themselves as the protectors of the kingdom of God.
