2. RELIGION THE OPIUM OF PEOPLE
• Quotation by Karl Marx, the German economist and
Communist political philosopher:
RELIGION THE OPIUM OF PEOPLE.
• EUROPE AND feudalism
• PEOPLE WERE SLAVE
• REVOLUTION EQUALS TO DISOBEY GOD AND RELIGION
• Islam has been the cause of revolting of hard working
people against oppression and injustice of those who
were in power should also be mentioned that all the
liberation movements in the Islamic East were inspired
by Islam

3. • The resistance of the Egyptian people against French
occupation was led by Muslim scholars (Ulama).
• The rebellion against the injustice of Mohammad Ali was
advocated by a religious leader, Omar Makram.
• The rebellion against the British occupation of Sudan
was led by Al-Mahdi, still another religious leader

4. ISLAM AND NON MUSLIM COMMUNITIES
• Islamic preaching is very clear for non-muslim community. Islam gives
equal Rights to both Muslim and non-muslim.
• The Islamic holy texts enjoin Muslims to treat non-Muslims in a kind and
fair manner, Apart from the rights and obligations involving worship, they
are equal to Muslims with respect to all other rights and obligations
related to social life and the rights of citizens.
• Moreover, Islam tries to make the relationship grow closer by permitting
intermarriage, the strongest social bond, between Muslims and non-
Muslims.
• It cannot be said that Islam distinguishes among people on account of
their religion because Islam confers the essential rights on all people
without any distinction. Islam brings all people together on a purely
human basis and at the same time guarantees them absolute freedom to
adopt the religion of their choice, under its own care and protection.

5. ISLAM AND FREEDOM OF
THOUGHTS
• Athiest says that they are liberal and freethinkers.
• About Islam Athiest believe that Muslims are only confined to
their GOD and think that everything happens by the sake of
God. So they cant think about all humanity and about this
universe
• History bears witness that neither the Islamic faith nor its
system of rule ever came into conflict with science or the
application of its theories.
• No scientist in Islam has ever been burnt or tortured for
discovering or announcing a scientific fact.

6. • True science is not in conflict with the Islamic faith and the belief that
God created everything.
• Islam calls on people to study space and earth and to meditate on
their creation in order to discover the existence of God. It should be
remembered that manyWestern scientists who did not believe in
God came to discover His existence through proper scientific
research.
