Peace and War in the Lifestyle of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny)

Incorrect explanation of the different wars and peace treaties which occurred during Holy Prophet's lifetime raises the doubt that Islam is a "religion of sword". Today, Takfiries who are so-called Muslim have developed "Islamophobia" through their inhuman activities. Therefore, the present paper investigates the question of war and peace in the lifetime of Holy Prophet who is regarded as a good example. In the Holy prophet's lifestyle, his only real aim was to invite people to God; no doubt, he did his hardest to avoid being in a war. Rizwan Allegiance, which accompanied the treaty of Hodaybiyyah and was a sign of Muslim's strength, had led to the consolidation of peace. With this treaty, the Holy Prophet guaranteed security through his heroic act of flexibility and managed to give his message a universal property. The aim of the wars which Muslims fought in Holy Prophet's lifetime was to defend the territory of Islam or to remove the obstacles in the way of spreading Islam; therefore they are considered holy wars during which mercy and kindness were given special attention.
