Motivations of Early Arab Conquests
“After the death of the Prophet, the Arabs conquered a huge part of the world from Morocco in the west to Persia in the east within less than hundred years. People often think of this as a sign of Islam being spread by force. Could you please clarify what the motivations of the Arab armies were? Why did they feel the need to conquer the world?”Asked by قائف, دلی

1:07:36Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai Mr. Qais ka. unhon ne likha hai: "after the death of the Prophet, the Arabs conquered a huge part of the world from Morocco in the West to Persia in the East within less than hundred years. people often think of this as a sign of Islam being spread by force. could you please clarify what the motivations of the Arab armies were? why did they feel the need to conquer the world? also explain the reasons behind the wars of apostasy waged by Abu Bakr." bhai, is mein to kai sawal bula diye hain, kai sawal bula di
1:08:22ye hain. aik hi mein aik hi baat kahoon ga ke political expansion alag cheez hai aur religious expansion alag cheez hai. is baat ka koi saboot nahi hai ke Islam ko phailane ke liye talwar istemal ki gayi, koi is ka saboot nahi hai. woh alag cheez hai, woh alag cheez hai. kuch darasateez theen, muslim khandan thay, woh woh apna apto political expansion ke liye fateh karte hain yahan se wahan, wahan se wahan. lekin is ka koi bhi proof history mein nahi hai ke kahin yeh kaha gaya ho ke musalman qabool karo, wahan to qatal kar diya jaye ga.
1:09:05aisa koi saboot nahi hai. main aap ko do misaal deta hoon. swami bewakaran ke ki kitab hai "letters of bewakarindah". is mein unhon ne ek jo hai likha hai ke "it is nonsense to say that Hindus were converted to Islam by force". yeh wording un ki hai, woh kitab mere paas maujood hai, aap dekh sakte hain. "It is nonsense to say that Muslims were converted to Islam by force".
1:09:44doosra example yeh hai ke arab world mein misr bohat bara mulk hai aur bajarti islam mein dakhil ho gayi thi. is par study kiya hai ek angrez, ek British historian ne, is ka naam hai Sir Arthur Peth. is ki kitab mein woh likhta hai ke "Sindh was conquered not by sword but by the Quran". yeh hai "a shins was conquered not by the sword but by the quran". to jo is ka jo history hai, history se kahin bhi proof nahi hota ke talwar istemal ki gayi islam ki religious expansion ke liye. baqi kuch log thay, woh woh apna apni hukoomat ka kaam pehle karte rahe, un ka zaati feal tha.
1:10:32to "that is political expansion". yeh aap nahi sakte keh sakte ke woh religious expansion tha. baqi jo doosri baat hai, to is par maine kitab mein likha hai, aap padh lijie. woh yeh kitab "hikmat-e-islam" hai, is par is ki tafseel maujood hai. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai miss naghma siddiqui ka. unhon ne likha hai: "what thinks should be develop in our self for a universal approach?
