6 THE HOLY WAR Book that its advocacy be carried out by someone else employing all his training and preparation whilst that book remains totally silent and mute. Now, let it be clear that the Noble Quran states the following in regard to Islam-which it puts forth: إِنَّ الدِّينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ (10) . 3 . Pt وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخُسِرِينَ - 2 (Part 3, Rukū 17) Translation: meaning that Islam is the true and perfect religion in the judgement of Allah Almighty, and whoso desires any other religion apart from Islam, it shall never be accepted and he shall be among the losers in the Hereafter. Then it states: الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا 3(Part 6, Rukū' 5) Meaning that today I have perfected your religion for you and com- pleted My favour upon you and I have chosen Islam for you. هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا *(Part 26, Rukūʻ 12) That God, who has sent His Messenger with guidance and with the Religion of truth so that He may make this religion prevail over all faiths.
