In short, Islam wants Muslims to be strong so that others would not bully them; but then they have to extend the hand of peace even towards their enemies if there is an inclination of peace on the enemy’s part.
Kwa ufupi, Uislamu unawataka Waislamu wawe na nguvu ili wengine wasiwadhulumu; lakini basi wanapaswa kunyoosha mkono wa amani hata kwa maadui zao ikiwa kuna mwelekeo wa amani kwa upande wa adui.
