WHEN ISLAM SAVED THE CHRISTIANTY

the christianty religion enter egypt in the year 65 A.D, years after that roman empire came and invade egypt and they was christian also but start to persecute the egyptian christian just because the egyptian was orthodox and the roman was catholic,killing persecuting torturing depriving from practecing the religion and much more,even in the age of the emperor diocletian they call it the age of martyers in the end of the third century,this diocletian start his persecuting by burning the bibles and demolish the egyptian churches,forbbid any gathring or religious events for the egyptian christians or even prayers,and then taking allot of the egyptian as slaves,and because of the thousand of the egyptian christian been killed in this age they call it martyers age.and because all this persecuting it resualt the christian to go to desert and build monasteries and went to friary and monasticisms life.
the war in the arabian area start betwen the muslims and the roman spicaly in palstine and syria,and the muslims achieve smashing vactories in every battle against the roman empire,and this forced all the roman armies to regret to egypt and gatherd there,so the muslims enter egypt in year 641 A.D also defeat them crushing defeat and muslims spread there controll all over egypt,in this time egypt was having christian ruler or governor beside the roman governor,his mission almost was the religious stuff,they call him king of coptic(coptic is the name of the egyptian christians)his name was muqawqis.
the coptic egyptian find the muslim is the shelter from the persecuting of the roman,and muslim never let them down,first thing (amr bin alaas)the muslim leader for the islamic army bring back the batrerg benjamin as the christian coptic pope after he was run away in the desert from the roman,then keept al-muqawqis as governor and even a man to take his advises when it comes to the christian mattres,take a covenant betwen the muslim and the egyptian christians that no harm will happin to them, there houses will be safe,there land,there lives,there money,freedom of worshiping as they want,also muslims start to establish real country for all,paving the roads,dig a tunnle betwen redsea and midtrenian sea,simple example as suze canal now,and much more.
in this time the christian in egypt mixed some idolaters things into christianty and never forget it,as when the river nile dont flood(the land where little above the nile so it must flood to water the farming land)they choose virgin pretty girl and sacrfice her to the river through her in the nile,they bequeath this from the pharonic ages and it didnt leave them even with there christianty,but when islam comes ofcourse stops this paganism cermony and what happin is the river nile didnt flood and they wanted to do it but (amr bin alaas) refused and send a message to the muslims caliph( caliph means the president of all muslims in this time)and he was omar bin al-khatab,asking him what to do and the nile didnt flood in his season and egyptian insisting to do a human sacrfice,omar bin khatab reply saying dont let them do that islam refuse al kind of idolters and the human sacrfice,and with my reply this theres little message through it in the nile.
in this little message omar said:from the slave of allah the caliph(commander of the faithful)to egypt nile,if you flood by your will then dont flood,and if allah the only one the conqueror that make you flood,then we ask allah the one the qonqueror to make you flood........
amr bin alaas through this message in nile and after one night the nile flooded 16 arm like never happin ,because when muslim ask the ask the creator the owner of the earth and the sky allah not do such idolters or jugglery.
another story shows the morales of islam happined when the son of amr bin alaas raced by horses with one egyptian and the egyptian wipe him saying how you win on me and im son of ruler and more noble and honorable,but the egyptian went to the holly land to (al madina)the islamic capital this time to the caliph omar bin al-khatab,and told him the story and what did happin to him so the caliph sent to the ruler amr bin alaas and his son to come immediately and he host the egyptian till they come then he face them by the egyptian and gived the wipe to the egyptian and told him wipe him as he do to u and the egyptian took his revenge then the caliph told him to wipe amr bin alaas himself because his son done that because his father postion but the egyptin refused and said he didnt do bad to me its his son and itake my revenge from him,then amr bin alaas said to the caliph he didnt know anything about all that,and if he knowt he would do same as the caliph to his own son and give all the rights to the egyptian.
this is the greatness of islam no reluer in it or simple people no diffrence betwen anyone all equal infront of allah,who do wrong get his punishment whatever he is.
did anyone see or read or hear anything like that before?is there any religious leaders done that before or now?
islam and muslims enterd egypt welcoming the islamic army because they saw in them the savors from the roman even the roman was christian like them and the army muslims but they heard and knowt islam and muslims,
muslims have there morales and values even in the war never break it and who break it get his punishment immediately,this morales shows in the orders of the prophet of islam prophet muhammed(pbuh)when he send the first islamic army to fight the disbelivers even they are pagans and disbelivers but morales is still same against anyone,prophet muhammed gatherd the army and start to say his orders and commandments,that muslims dont kill innocent,no killing for womens,or children,or old men,or any one in religious place dosent fight them,or any monk or priest or any religion man,or anyone stay at his home dont fight,or anyone in his workplace not fighting,no demolishing of building,no burning for trees,no killing for any animal,no destroying for the nature arouand.
this is the orders and commandments that muslims followed and it what capture the hearts of people even who was fighting against muslims,
another story the history cant forget it because it show and describe the teaches of islam and how it putt morales into people even years after,the the hero in this story was the caliph (omar bin al-khatab)after islam enterd palstine people there asked the caliph to come himself and he went to jerusalem omar bin al-khatab give the people there what it called the omaric covenant: from omar bin al-khatan to people of jerusalem to be safe in there souls and there money and there churches and crosses,the sick and well of them the old and young and everyone of them,there churches will not demolish or taken from them or they goods of it,no forcing in religion,freedom of worshiping,and who want go out with the romans his safe with his money and all if he want,who want to stay welcomed and who want to leave his safe.
this covenant shows the morales of islam even with non muslims obviousley.
and then while the jerusalemians priests giving omar bin al-khatab the keys of the church of the resurrection(church of the holly sepulchre)as symbol of there accepting and admission of the fairness of islam,and while he inside the church the time for pray comes, noon prayer(dhuar prayer) so he went out of the church and pray in the road infront of the church on his simply clothes as carpet for pray,after he pray the church priests came to him asking him why he didnt pray in the church because he was inside when the time of pray come, and ask him is islam dont allow muslims to do that,but he answer simply with huge meanings and maximum fairness,
islam allow muslim to pray anywhere everywhere as long the place clean and the floor clean,but ididnt want pray inside the church so no muslim comes after me and take that as excuse to convert the church to a mosque,so how wounderfull how great how amazing this man fulled by islamic morales and values and by prophet muhammed(pbuh)teaches,he didnt want anyone after him or ages after to come and convert the church to mosque and his excuse be that the caliph omar bin al-khatan,the prophet friend and companion prayedinside the church,because that he prayed outside,what a great and amazing man you omar.
and to look to tottaly contrary things of what omar done,after the zionists occupied palstine and make there terroristic country israel they demolish and destroy hundreds or even thousands of mosques and convert hundreds mosques to dirty places as bars or animal barns and stables,and even for years now trying to destroy the second holly mosque for all muslims ever(al-aqsa)mosque.
in spain another contrary example than what omar bin al-khatab done,in granada in spain was historical mosque called alhambra mosque,but they demolish it and build in his place church still till now called Santa maria de Alhambra,this mosque was such architectural masterpiece but no more now just a lamb stays from the remains of this mosque in the madrid museum.
also in toledo city in spain too, fantastic mosque called mardoom door mosque as arab call it and ValmarD َn Mezquita as spanish call it,and they convert it to church withiout demolish it or destroy it they take the mosque from muslims make it church called now Ermita de San Cristo de la Luz.and also in toledo theres the great toledo cathedral as they call it but actullay this is a mosque used to called gathering mosque and the convert it to the cathedral staying till now,they demolish the mosque prayer niche,and putt the church bell on the mosque minaret since then till now its the cathedral.
and in cordova or cordoba city there was a mosque called cordova greatest mosque,this mosque was hug the second hugiest mosque in islam after the holly mosque in macca,and it wasent just mosque it was islamic and scientis universty too not just for muslims but even non muslims,and the history still remember that 2 popes of the catholician church get there education there,this mosque was masterpiece no place like before or after took years to build and complet,have over 1,000 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite,The Mezquita also features richly gilded prayer niches. A centrally located honey-combed dome has beautiful blue tiles decorated with stars. The mihrab is a masterpiece of architectural art, with geometric and flowing designs of plants,the mosque have gold and silver embellishments,magnifcient mosque whatever words cant describe the beauty and the splendors of this mosque but unfortunately the world lost unique masterpiece Will not be repeated in this world,this mosque they convert it to the cathedral of cordoba and till now some of the old monuments of the mosque remains attracting tourist there,and even spanish they still call it cordoba mosque.
in end this just examples imentioned to make us think and compare betwen what the great caliph omar bin al-khatab done and what others done, to see what islam done and how islam treat others and what others done and treat islam with,the motive for muslims while they do what they do and secure and safe even non muslims was the teachs of islam,the motive for what omar bin al-khatab done in jerusalem was the teaches of islam,the motive to safe coptic christian egyptian from the suffring on the christian romans was the teaches of islam,all thsi is islam and that how islam is,then what was the motive to the others?what was the motive to those who convert holly mosques to bars or animales stables or churchs or cathedral or whatever else what was there motive?
