Sunan Ibn Majah 3928 (Book 36, Hadith 2) #33282
Fighting for Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was commanded to fight people until they accept the Islamic faith, and if they do, their lives and wealth will be protected.

It was narrated from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: La ilaha illallah. If they say: La ilaha illallah, then their blood and wealth are protected from me, except for a right that is due from it, and their reckoning will be with Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Jabir states that the Prophet Muhammad was commanded to fight people until they accept the Islamic faith. This means that Muslims are allowed to use force in order to protect their religion and spread it. However, if a person does accept Islam then their lives and wealth will be protected from any harm or damage. Furthermore, it is important to note that even though a person's life and wealth may be safe from harm, there is still a right due from them which must be fulfilled according to Islamic law. Lastly, it is also stated that all judgement of these matters will ultimately come down to Allah alone on the Day of Judgement.
