Qala ngegama ngokwalo. Elithi Islam livela kwingcambu yesiArabhu efanayo nelithi salām — uxolo. Umbuliso wemihla ngemihla womSilamsi uthi as-salāmu 'alaykum, "uxolo malube nawe." Elinye lamagama kaThixo ngokwakhe kwiQuran lithi As-Salām, uMthombo Woxolo (Surah Al-Hashr, 59:23). Uxolo asilogama nje elongezelelwe kwi-Islam livela ngaphandle; lulukiwe kulwimi lwayo, kumbuliso wayo, nakwinjongo yayo — uxolo noThixo, noxolo phakathi kwabantu.
Ithini IQuran
IQuran ibeka ubungcwele bobomi bomntu embindini womthetho wayo wokuziphatha:
"Nabani na obulala umphefumlo — ngaphandle komphefumlo okanye ukonakalisa [okwenziweyo] emhlabeni — kunjengokungathi ubulele uluntu lonke. Yaye nabani na osindisa omnye — kunjengokungathi usindise uluntu lonke."
(Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:32)
Iyalela ubulungisa nkqu nakwiintshaba — "Musani ukuvumela intiyo yabantu inithintele ekwenzeni ubulungisa. Yenzani ubulungisa; oko kukufuphi ebulungiseni" (Surah Al-Ma'idah, 5:8) — kwaye itsho ngokucacileyo ukuba ukholo alunakuze lunyanzelwe: "Akukho kunyanzelwa kunqulo" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:256). Nkqu iyalela amakholwa ukuba adibane nokujika kwentshaba ngasexolweni ngoxolo: "Yaye ukuba bathambekele exolweni, nawe thambekela kulo, uxhomekeke ku-Allah" (Surah Al-Anfal, 8:61).
Ngoko Kutheni IQuran Ithetha Ngokulwa?
Ngokunyanisekileyo: kuba yindlela yobomi epheleleyo, eyatyhilwa kuluntu lokwenene olwalutshutshiswa, lugxothwa, luhlaselwa. I-Islam ivumela ukulwa kwiimeko ezichaziweyo — ukuzikhusela nokukhusela abacinezelweyo — phantsi kwemithetho eqinileyo, ngendlela imigaqo yemfazwe elungileyo esebenza ngayo kwezinye izithethe. Imvume yeza nesizathu sayo sinamathele: "Imvume [yokulwa] inikwe abo balwelwayo, kuba benziwe ngokungekho sikweni" (Surah Al-Hajj, 22:39). Nomda wayo: "Lwani kwindlela ka-Allah nabo balwa nani, kodwa musani ukugabadela. Inene, u-Allah akabathandi abagabadeli" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:190).
Nkqu nangoko, uMprofeti ﷺ wawalela ukwenzakalisa abasetyhini, abantwana, abalupheleyo, iimonki kwiimonasteri zazo — nkqu nokutshabalalisa ngabom imithi nezityalo. Yaye nabani na obulala umntu ophila ngoxolo phantsi kokhuseleko lwamaSilamsi, walumkisa, "akayi kuliva ivumba lePaladesi" (Sahih al-Bukhari, 3166). Ubunqolobi — ukujolisa ngabom abangenatyala — asiyo "inguqulelo egqithisileyo" yezi mfundiso; kukwaphula kwazo ngokuthe ngqo, kwaye izifundiswa zamaSilamsi kwihlabathi jikelele zikugxekile njengoko.
Umzekelo WoMprofeti ﷺ Ngokwakhe
Iminyaka elishumi elinesithathu eMakkah, uMprofeti ﷺ nabalandeli bakhe babengcungcuthekiswa yaye be-boycott-wa, baphendula ngomonde — akukho nesenzo esinye sempindezelo. Yaye xa ekugqibeleni wabuyela eMakkah ngo-630 CE ekhokela abalishumi lamawaka, iintshaba zakhe zangaphambili zisencebeni yakhe, wababuza: "Nicinga ukuba ndiza kwenza ntoni ngani?" Waza wathi: "Hambani, kuba nikhululekile." Ukoyiswa kweMakkah kukhunjulwa njengesinye seyona nto idumileyo embalini yokuxolela okukhulu.
Ngesivakalisi Esinye
Ewe — i-Islam lunqulo ekuthi igama lalo, umbuliso, nenjongo yalo ibe luxolo; luvumela ukulwa kokuzikhusela phantsi kwemida eqinileyo, kwaye lubalela ukubulawa kwabangenatyala phakathi kwezona zono zinkulu.
