Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy – Religion of Peace

About this lecture

In this lecture, Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy continues his tafseer of Surah al-Baqarah (2:208), exploring the meanings of "entering Islam entirely" and its connection to inner peace, submission to Allah, and the rejection of violence. Drawing on Seerah, history, and the science of Isra'iliyyat, he examines how enmity, political ambition, and spiritual distance from Islam give rise to violence — and how the Prophet ﷺ embodied the principle that Islam calls us not to win over our opponents, but to win our opponents over. The lecture concludes with a powerful reminder that the Muslim is defined by the safety others feel from their tongue and their hand.
