Dar al Islam

From the Time of Muhammad until today, Islam has been following its Islamic ideology to promote Islam, the one and only Allah, to the rest of the world. And they will never stop in this pursuit for it has been the command of Allah that is is the duty of all Muslims to fight a Jihad until that is accomplished. Unless we acknowledge that this is the everlasting duty of every Muslim, we will never appreciate why they are so inflexible in their attitudes. Qur'an:2:216 "Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims), though you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and like a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not." [Another translation reads:] "Warfare is ordained for you."
