Islam Needs no Coercion for its Propagation
Jehad is not obligatory for the purpose of converting the people to Islam by force of coercion. Similarly the commandments about Jiziyah, Jiziyah is a tax charged from the infidels for their protection. Charged to the infidels (after announcing them as Zimmees) against the protection of their wealth and lives, clearly show that even after Jehad was announced obligatory for the Muslims, the infidels were never forced to embrace Islam. Therefore, a fair-minded person is supposed to think dispassionately over the objects and benefits of making Jehad obligatory for the Muslims.
It was after Hijirat (Emigration to Medina) that the process of Jehad and Ghazwaat started. There were certain battles or campaigns wherein the Holy Prophet SAW personally participated, and in certain cases he dispatched the Islamic armies under the command of selected Companions. In the terminology of historians the Jehad of the first type as mentioned above is called Ghazwah and the second one as known as Saryah. There were twenty-three Ghazwaat in all, out of which the real fighting happened in nine only. And the total number of Saraya is forty-three. Surprisingly, in all these Ghazwaat and Saraya except Ghazwah Uhud, always the conquest used to be the pride of the Muslims in spite of their shortage in manpower and armaments. As regards Ghazwah Uhud they did have the upper hand in the beginning, but later they had to suffer because the troops appointed by the Holy Prophet SAW at a strategic post left their place against his instructions.
