In the scheme of life?

Hi! everyone.
Could you tell me what does the bold phrase mean in the sentence below?
...I became more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life.
I would be obliged if you describe this phrase.
Thanks!

Thanks for replying sir.
Mister Micawberas a societal norm.
So, Can it be rephrased thus-:.................Moreover, winning a place for Islam(or any other religion) with a sword was not correct, according to the social norms at that time (in the scheme of life). Does the bold line mean "in the scheme of life" here?
