According to the Christian model as mentioned in the Quran, Muslims should have adopted the peaceful method. They should have abandoned the battlefield of violence and adopted the peaceful field of dawah (conveying the message of God). They held these colonial powers as their enemies and engaged in violent confrontation against them. Instead they should have considered these powers as their madu (one to whom the divine message is to be conveyed) and peacefully conveyed the divine message to them. Had they done so, without doubt the prediction of the Quran with respect to the Christians would have come true for them as well. “We supported the believers against their opponents and they triumphed over them.” (61: 14)
The second model set by the Christians ensued after the Crusades. After their defeat in the Crusades, the Christians had devoted themselves to the peaceful field of scientific research and for the first time in the world, the laws of nature were uncovered bringing modern civilization into existence. As a result, all of humankind benefited in countless ways.
