How Islam expanded. (My view)

In those times (600 AD)  there were empires that had no fixed borders. So when a new empire appeared the others would quickly go to quash it so that it doesn’t become a threat to them. So any new empire had to expand quickly so as to survive.  Otherwise it had little chance. So it would go and expand into the other competing empires next to it and try to beat them. A very tough position to be in. And that I think is what happened in Islam. This new empire was able to expand and defeat the bigger ones especially the Persian empire. With the Roman Empire the battles continued till the Islamic empire was dismantled in 1924. Roman Empire effectively won. But now Islam is back on the rise and hence is viewed as the new threat. Turkey is leading this rise and hence being subjected to many attacks and coup attempts etc. 

Before you die , at least know how God really is.

Since we are all going to die it would be good to know how our Creator, God, really is so that at least we have done some preparation. In this article I will present my take on this and will leave you to investigate further and verify what you need to verify.  Firstly how do we know He or It exists? And note that I am using he or it as pronouns for the Creator as the creator of gender has itself no gender in my view. Hence we could even use any pronoun we feel makes best sense to us. Some may feel She is also relevant sometimes ( eg in the context of ‘Mother Nature’). But returning to its existence one simple and powerful argument is that things cannot come from nothing. They must come from something. That something is what we call God. And when we ask well where does God come from the answer is simple. If he came from something then he or it wouldn’t be God. So that means God didn’t come. ie He/It was always there. ie eternal for ever whether from the beginning of time or the end ...
