Islam, a religion with over 1.8 billion followers worldwide, has often been the subject of misconceptions and misunderstandings. These misconceptions have led to prejudice, discrimination, and even violence against Muslims.

Contrary to popular belief, Islam is not a violent religion. In fact, the Quran explicitly prohibits violence and aggression, except in self-defense. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and law-abiding citizens who reject violence and extremism.

Misconception 2: The Quran is a Violent Book

The Quran, the holy book of Islam, is often misrepresented as a violent text. However, a closer examination reveals that it contains far more verses promoting peace, compassion, and forgiveness than those that mention violence. The violent verses in the Quran are typically taken out of context and used to justify violence by extremist groups.

Misconception 3: Muslims are Terrorists

The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists. In fact, they have been victims of terrorism themselves. Terrorist groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban do not represent the true teachings of Islam and have been condemned by Muslim leaders worldwide.

Misconception 4: Muslims Oppress Women

Islam respects and values women. The Quran explicitly grants women rights to education, property, and inheritance. While some Muslim countries may have cultural practices that oppress women, these practices are not based on Islamic teachings.
