Islam only allows wars if it is done with the intention of self-defense. Self-defense can both be direct and preemptive.
The Prophet SAWS never engaged in aggression and he always preferred peace, but when it was necessary, he would engage in self-defense. He also placed strict rules in combat for all Muslims to follow:
Do not cut down trees
Do not damage buildings
Do not target civilians
Do not terrorize the population
Target only soldiers of the enemy
Be merciful if the enemy gives up
Do not continue battling if the enemy surrenders
These are only some of the rules.
Mohammad Hijab said in an interview with Jordan B Peterson: "While Islam has the ability of making wars, it also has the ability of creating peace treaties"
-- Some people would argue that peace cannot exist alongside war, but this is a fallacy, because in order to protect peace and order, you would have to defend it, whether by diplomacy or militarily, if necessary.
Imagine a country that’s being attacked. They get killed, oppressed and they don’t do anything to defend themselves. Where’s the logic?
If not, imagine someone trying to break in your house and steal everything, rape all people inside. What would you do? Let them? Or fight them?
He only went to war after being:
Exiled from his hometown
Surviving multiple assassination attempts
Having his daughter mortally wounded
Having several of his early followed tortured and martyred.
Having their properties seized
I don't know about you. But I too would've been really miffed at this. Even then they waited an year for the revelation to come before departing on their first campaign.
The message that was sent to the prophet (pbuh) was the final message so it was important that it is preserved and defended. If the prophet (pbuh) didn't fight back the message would've died with him in Makkah.
you will know what an incredible, forgiving and loving guy
he was for example he forgave the person who killed his uncle he said "I can't look at you anymore(obviously because he killed his uncle) but I forgive you " Also you know Muhammad was literally targeted to die for a long time they were hunting for him until Allah gave the command to fight back and even sent angels to help Muhammad (PBUH) in the battle of Badr
Most of the battles he fought were defensive.
Islam is a religion of peace, but when your livelihood, personal rights and religion is at stake, you're allowed to pick up a weapon. Violence is only discouraged in Islam for personal reasons like disputes and verbal harassment, it's fairly similar to decent human expectations.
If someone opressors you – punches you repeatedly, despite your attempts to deeacalate the issue and go for a peaceful confrontation, are you going to just ignore it and die in the hands of your oppressor?
Its the same reason why police officers carry guns and defence forces exists.
You ought to read the conditions of war as prescribed in Islam too. Examples are, as much as possible, do not harm women or children, destory agriculture and livestocks etc.
Anyways to conclude learn more about Muhammed wars and you will see it super easily justified and even how he acted after he won the fight still praying still telling everyone to worship one God and never ever took credit for himself and this is just one of the many reasons that prophet Muhammad (PBUH )is one of if not the greatest humans in the world

Re: Correcting misconceptions .......?????
For the past year, Israel has justified its brutal occupation and human rights violations against Palestinians by pointing to one day—October 7th. But this narrative erases decades of ethnic cleansing, massacres, and systematic oppression that define Israel’s 76-year occupation of Palestine.
In this video, we uncover the real history, from the 1948 Nakba to the Sabra and Shatila massacre and the ongoing siege of Gaza. The lies about 40 decapitated babies and mass rapes have been debunked, yet they were used to justify domination and violence.
Now, Netanyahu is repeating the same script in Lebanon, using fabricated stories to justify aggression there as well. As his grip on power weakens and Israel’s economy spirals, the world is finally waking up. This isn’t about self-defense—it’s about domination.
Watch to learn what didn’t happen on October 7—and what’s been happening for decades.

Re: Correcting misconceptions .......?????
The request for forgiveness must be from God (the Father) directly, without intermediaries who cannot forgive themselves
Christ also asked the Father for forgiveness directly
Jesus did not give the Church the power to forgive sins.
The straw that broke the camel's back came when the Pope issued in Rome huge quantities of indulgences, which he signed and stamped with the official seal, to be sold to the public who wished to be forgiven for the sins they had committed.
The Pope's representative would go around the cities and villages selling indulgences that erased the buyer's sins because the Pope He is God's representative in this world, and God must honor His promise of forgiveness.
When this idea succeeded in hoarding huge amounts of silver and gold for the church, the Pope’s mind developed another idea: purchasing indulgences in the name of dead relatives in order to help them enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
This was the straw that made the German priest Martin Luther write his book “95 Theses” in 1517.
