The Command to Fight for Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that Muslims should fight people until they accept the Islamic faith, perform salat, and pay zakat.

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "I have been commanded to fight people till they testify 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) that Muhammad is his slave and Messenger, and they establish Salat, and pay Zakat; and if they do this, their blood (life) and property are secured except when justified by law, and it is for Allah to call them to account". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله، ويقيموا الصلاة، ويؤتوا الزكاة، فإذا فعلوا ذلك، عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحق الإسلام وحسابهم على الله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
