Islam is against terrorism

♦ Most of the Muslims are against ISIS!!!:
.
"In no country surveyed did more than 15% of the population show favorable attitudes toward Islamic State. And in those countries with mixed religious and ethnic populations, negative views of ISIS cut across these lines.
.
In Lebanon, a victim of one of the most recent attacks, almost every person surveyed who gave an opinion had an unfavorable view of ISIS, including 99% with a very unfavorable opinion. Distaste toward ISIS was shared by Lebanese Sunni Muslims (98% unfavorable) and 100% of Shia Muslims and Lebanese Christians.
.
Israelis (97%) and Jordanians (94%) were also strongly opposed to ISIS as of spring 2015, including 91% of Israeli Arabs. And 84% in the Palestinian territories had a negative view of ISIS, both in the Gaza Strip (92%) and the West Bank (79%).
.
Six-in-ten or more had unfavorable opinions of ISIS in a diverse group of nations, including Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Malaysia and Senegal."

♦ Renowned Islamic Scholar Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid says in his fatwa:
.
"Our attitude must be clear; we must explain to the kuffaar the ruling of Islamic sharee’ah concerning harming and killing others.
.
We should tell them that Islam forbids harming innocent people in any way, whether that involves harming their bodies, their wealth or their honour.
.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”
.
It is not permissible to kill a kaafir who is not hostile or who has a legitimate peace treaty with the Muslims; rather treating a non-hostile kaafir with kindness is part of the Islamic religion, especially if that is done to call him to Islam and soften his heart (towards Islam).
.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
.
“Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity” [al-Mumtahinah 60:8]
.
At times of war against the kuffaar, it is not permissible for a Muslim to deliberately kill a kaafir child or woman who is not bearing arms against the Muslims or helping in the fight.
.
It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to the Muslim army:
.
“Go out in the name of Allaah and by the help of Allaah, following the way of the Messenger of Allaah.
.
**Do not kill any old man, infant, child or woman**… spread goodness and do good, for Allaah loves those who do good.”
.
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2614; its isnaad includes Khaalid ibn al-Faraz, of whom Ibn Hajar said in al-Taqreeb, he is maqbool (acceptable) i.e., if there are corroborating reports)
.
This is supported by the advice which Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) gave to the commander of his army:
.
“I advise you of ten things: ***do not kill a woman, or a child, or any old person, or cut down any fruit trees…”***
.
(al-Muwatta’, 982, Kitaab al-Jihaad).""

".... whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors."
