Islam in IndiaIslamic history records in golden letters that only Hadrat Khawaja Muniuddin Chisti(Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) and no one else instituted the everlasting spirit of Islam inthe Sub-Continent. He conquered the hearts of Indian people without any army. Itwas a grand spiritual victory that must stand high among all political victories of theworld. What Ghaznavi, Lodhi and Ghauri could not do with their army, KhawajaMuniuddin (Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) did with wisdom and love. He conqueredIndia, not by the sword but by winning the hearts with love and strong character ashas been said by Hadrat Nizamuddin Awlia (Rahmatullahi alaihi) in Fawaid-ul-Fuad[17] : "None can be converted to Islam either by sword or by dialogue; but goodcharacter is more effective than sword or dialogue. Before converting someone it ismost essential that one must first be a real Muslim."
