According to the Quran there are two faculties in every human being which are mutually antipathetic. One is the ego, and the other is the conscience. What the violent method invariably does is to awaken the ego, which necessarily results in a breakdown of social equilibrium. On the other hand, non-violent activism awakens the conscience, from which results an awakening and self-appraisal in people.
Islam is based on monotheism, its goal being to make people realize the existence of the one and only God and to strive to bring about a change in their hearts and minds in order that they may love God as is His due. And the greatest concern of man should be to fear and worship his Creator.
