Abstract
As the last divine religion, Islam is free from radicalism. Even its attitude towards revenge and punishment brims with life. It urges the believers to stand against the enemies and be kind to the oppressed and underprivileged. According to the Holy Qur’an, “Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves” (2:143). The Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) also states, “Verily, Allah has sent me as a blessing for all the nations of the world.” Not only is Islam the religion of mercy, but also the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) is a blessing for mankind. This article is an attempt to unveil the luminous face of Islam through La Osr va Haraj Rule (Denegation of Hardship Rule).
