ibn taimiya ne baqayda fatwa diya. lekin kuch hua nahi un ki ladai se kuch hua nahi. baad ko jo hua woh yeh hai ke quran ke zariye se unhon ne islam phaila aur un ki majority ne islam qabool kar liya. to jihad ke fatwe se masla nahi khatam hua tha. talwar ke islam is istemal se masla nahi khatam hua tha. masla khatam kiya tha quran ne. isi ka tanzeeya kiya hai is ne hitti ne apni kitab mein. aur yahan yeh lafz likha hai ke ke the religion of Islam have conquered where their arms had failed. to woh woh waqe bhi isi ki jo main ne aaj kaha isi ke ek mazeed confirmation hai isi ka.
