(a.s.)...

(a.s.), the great leader of humanity and the best teacher of ethics and divine principles, thinks that all the goodness is materialized by the power of the swords. He considers the instruments of power as the only way for gaining peaceful and humane goals. The Prophet (a.s.) knows that the cruel and voracious people do not leave ________________________ I Qur'an, 2: 194. 2 Wasa'il al-Shi'a 11/5. 3 Ibid 11/9.

murder, crime, oppression, and disloyalty and do not accept righteousness except by the force of the sword. In the present era, we see clear instances of these criminals who oppress the third world nations. They oppress the nations concerning oil price. They suppress national movements. Food and drug companies use their power to force and dominate nations. They spread viruses so that their products be sold, making the vital foods and drugs the most violent instruments for reaching their goal.

The weapon producers start wars among innocent people to sell their products, beside many other inhumane methods. After this much violence that is unprecedented in history, they now speak of non-violence. They suggest logical and humane behavior toward oppression to make the youth away from the principles of Jihad, martyrdom, and sacrifice. They want to abolish revolutionary bases and pave the way for inhumane rulers.

As was mentioned, according to the Prophet (a.s.), violence is the worst thing and it is equal to polytheism. Of course, this prohibited violence is the one against Allah's servants; these Allah's servants means trustworthy, faithful, and responsible people, not the oppressive criminals. So, one should be aware of propagandas and be careful of usage and aim of apparently beautiful words. Surely, Islam has condemned violence and aggression.

Even the annoying of any living being is forbidden in Islam. Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: "By Allah, the pious are prosperous. Do you know them? Those who do not annoy a very small ant that is hardly seen." 1 ________________________ I Bihar al-Anwar 75/152. Furthermore, any kind of trivial annoyance that makes others unhappy is considered a devilish doing in Islam. The Prophet of Islam (a.s.) said, "One, who annoys a faithful, annoys me and one, who annoys me, annoys the Almighty Allah.
