Islam A Religion Of Peace The Quran

People often say that Islam is a Religion of peace and it is the overzealous who bring disrepute to the otherwise a peaceful Religion.

Let us see what the Quran Says on this.

Islam promotes violence. — The Quran On Infidels.

The Quran:
Quran (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]… but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.” Thehistorical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). The use of the word “persecution” by some Muslim translators is thus disingenuous (the actual Muslim words for persecution – “idtihad” – and oppression – a variation of “z-l-m” – do not appear in the verse). The actual Arabic comes from “fitna” which can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. Taken as a whole, the context makes clear that violence is being authorized until “religion is for Allah” – ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.

Quran (2:244) – “Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things.”

Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.” Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people intoraiding merchant caravans for loot.

Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority”. This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be ‘joining companions to Allah’).

Quran (4:74) – “Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward.” The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. Here is the theological basis for today’s suicide bombers.

Quran (4:76) – “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…”

Quran (4:89) – “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.”

Quran (4:95) – “Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-” This passage criticizes “peaceful” Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah’s eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that “Jihad” doesn’t mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man’s protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad and this is reflected in other translations of the verse).

Quran (4:104) – “And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain…” Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense?

Quran (5:33) – “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement”

Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.

Quran (8:15) – “O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey’s end.”..

”

….. martyrs…. Enter heaven – Surah 3:140-43

You must not think that those who were slain in the cause of Allah are dead. They are alive, and well-provided for by their Lord. – Surah 3:169-71

O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there are 20 steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish 200; and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding. – 8:65

It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. – 8:67

Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. – 9:2-3

Believers! Know that idolators are unclean. – 9:28″

Islam On Jihad.Details With Source.

There has been some statement from Islamic Scholars that Islam does not support Jihad.

But the facts seem to be different.

Islamic Jihad. — Jihad, Image source. http://islamizationwatch.blogspot.in/2009/10/tears-of-jihad-270-million-slaughtered.html

Some information.

”

Sura 73:10,11 (be patient and bear with those who deny the truth)

“And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity). And leave me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the truth, [YA: “Men who enjoy the good things of life have special cause for gratitude to God, Who bestowed them. When they are in the ranks of God’s enemies, none but God can adequately deal with them..”] and bear with them for a little while.”

Sura 52:45,47,48 (leave them alone and wait in patience for the Lord to punish them)

“So leave them alone until they encounter that day of theirs, wherein they shall (perforce) swoon (with terror) … And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment besides this…Now await in patience the command of thy Lord, for verily thou art in Our eyes.” [YA: “The man of God must strive his utmost to proclaim the message of God. As for results, it is not for him to command them. He must wait patiently in the knowledge that he is not forgotten by God, but is constantly under God’s eyes – under His living care and protection…”]

Sura 109:1,2,6 (Tell unbelievers, “You have your religion and I have mine.”)

“Say, O ye that reject faith! I worship not that which ye worship… To you be your way, and to me mine.”

Sura 76:8,9 (be kind even to those taken prisoner)

“And they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive, (saying) ‘We feed you for the sake of God alone. No reward do we desire from you, nor thanks.’” [YA: “…it refers to the old state of things when captives of war had to earn their own food, or their own redemption; even ordinary prisoners in join for criminal offences often starved unless food was provided for them by private friends or from their own earnings.”]

Sura 20:129,130 (also 38:15-17) (be patient with evil things said by evil people)

“Had it not been for a word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come, but there is a term appointed (for respite). Therefore be patient with what they say…”[YA: “All good men must be patient with what seems to them evil around them.”]

Sura 20:134,135 (be patient and let the unbelievers see who is right)

“And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said, ‘Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us an apostle, we should certainly have followed thy signs before we were humbled and put to shame.’ Say: ‘Each one (of us) is waiting. Wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received guidance.’” [YA: “The man of God can only say: ‘Let us wait the issue. My faith tells me that God’s truth must prevail.’”]

Sura 16:93 (God leaves alone those whom He allows to stray from the truth)

“If God so willed, He could make you all one people, but He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.” [YA: “God’s will and plan, in allowing limited free-will to man, is, not to force man’s will, but to give all guidance, and leave alone those who reject that guidance, in case they should repent and come back into grace. But in all cases, in so far as we are given the choice, we shall be called to account for all our actions…”]

Sura 19:83,84 (Don’t be in a hurry to fight. God will allow evil people to destroy themselves.)

“Seest thou not that we have set the evil ones on against the unbelievers to incite them with fury? So make no haste against them, for we but count out to them a (limited) number (of days).” [YA: “Under the laws instituted by God, when evil reaches a certain stage of rebellion and defiance, it is left to gather momentum and to rush with fury to its own destruction. It is given a certain amount of respite, as a last chance, but failing repentance, its days are numbered. The godly therefore should not worry themselves over the apparent worldly success of evil, but should get on with their own duties in a spirit of trust in God.”]

Sura 43:88,89 (just turn away from those who reject the truth, and say “Peace” to them)

“(God has knowledge) of the (Prophet’s) cry, ‘O my Lord! Truly these are a people who will not believe!’ But turn away from them, and say, ‘Peace!’ But soon shall they know!” [YA: “The Prophet…is here told to leave them alone for a time, for the truth must soon prevail.”]

Sura 67:26 (Mohammad is only a warner; not an enforcer)

“Say ‘…I am (sent) only to warn plainly in public.’” [YA: “The Prophet’s duty is to proclaim that fact openly and clearly. It is not for him to punish or to hasten the punishment of evil.”] Sura 22:49 “Say, ‘O men! I am (sent) to you only to give a clear warning.’”

Sura 23:54 (Leave them in their ignorance)

“But leave them in their confused ignorance for a time.”

Sura 23:96 (It is best not to retaliate evil for evil)

“Repel evil with that which is best.” [YA: “It is not for you to punish. Your best course is not to do evil in your turn, but to do what will best repel the evil. Two evils do not make a good.”] “We are well acquainted with the things they say. And say, ‘O my Lord! I seek refuge with thee from the suggestions of the evil ones. And I seek refuge with thee of my Lord, lest they should come near me.’”

Sura 25:52 (struggle with all your might against unbelievers with God’s word – the “Greater Jihad”)

“Therefore listen not to the unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Quran).” [YA: “… the man of God pays no heed to carping critics who reject faith. He wages the biggest jihad of all, with the weapon of God’s revelation.”] [The Arabic is “Jihad-e-Kabir” (greater Jihad). Muslims therefore believe that physical war is “Jihad-e-Saghir” (lesser Jihad), although that term is not specifically mentioned in the Quran (see 4:74-76).]

Sura 17:54 (Mohammad was not sent to dispose of men’s affairs.)

“…We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them.” [YA:”Even men of God are not sent to arrange or dispose of men’s affairs, but only to teach God’s message.”]

Sura 16:125,126 (invite to the way of God only with gracious preaching and arguments)

“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious… And if ye do catch them out, catch them out no worse than they catch you out. But if ye show patience, that is indeed the best (course) for those who are patient.” [YA: “In the context this passage refers to controversies and discussions, but the words are wide enough to cover all human struggles, disputes, and fights. In strictest equity you are not entitled to give a worse blow than is given to you. But those who have reached a higher spiritual standard do not even do that. They restrain themselves, and are patient. Lest you should think that such patience only gives an advantage to the adversary, you are told that the contrary is the case. The advantage is with the patient, the self-possessed, those who do not lose their temper or forget their own principles of conduct.”]

Sura 29:46 (don’t argue with Jews and Christians, but do something better, i.e., emphasize our oneness)

“And dispute ye not with the People of the Book [a term used for Jews and Christians], except with means better (than mere disputation) … But say, ‘We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you. Our God and your God is One, and it is to Him we bow (in Islam).’” [YA: “In order to achieve our purpose as true standard bearers for God, we shall have to find the common grounds of belief, as stated in the latter part of this verse …”]

Sura 29:69 (God will guide those who struggle in His way.)

“And those who strive in our (cause), we will certainly guide them to our paths: For verily God is with those who do right.” [YA: “All that man can do is to strive in God’s cause. As soon as he strives with might and main, with constancy and determination, the light and mercy of God come to meet him… The way of God (sirat-ul-mustaqim) is a straight way. But men have strayed from it in all directions. And there are numerous paths by which they can get back to the right way… All these paths become open to them if once they give their hearts in keeping to God and work in right endeavour (Jihad) with all their mind and soul and resources. Thus will they get out of the spider’s web of this frail world and attain to eternal bliss in the fulfillment of their true destiny.”]

US Judge Orders Posting of ‘Islam Hate’ Ad in Chicago

An Advertisement targeting th Muslim Community appeared in Chicago Metro and Metro was reluctant

I posted this on 27 September.

Now a Federal Judge ordered the reposting of the Advertisement .

For $ 5.600!

Cost?

“A federal judge ordered late Friday that Metro must post a controversial anti-jihad advertisement in its stations no later than 5 p.m. Monday.

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Rosemary Collyer issuedthe order after hearing arguments on Thursday as the advertiser sought an injunction against Metro’s delay in running the ads that read: “In Any War Between the Civilized Man and the Savage, Support the Civilized Man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.”

Collyer had said Thursday she planned to issue a full decision only after issuing the order because of the sensitive nature of the timing.

Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said the agency will comply with the order.

The advertiser’s attorney, Robert Muise, praised the decision. “It’s a victory for everyone,” he said. “It’s a victory for all freedom-loving Americans.”

Quranic Verses On Violence.

People have been saying that Islam is a religion of Peace.

Story:

The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.

The Quran:

Quran (2:191-193) – “And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]…and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah.” There is a good case to be made that the textual context of this particular passage is defensive war, even if the historical context was not. However, there are also two worrisome pieces to this verse. The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of “persecution” (a qualification that is ambiguous at best). The second is that fighting may persist until “religion is for Allah.” The example set by Muhammad is not reassuring.

Quran (2:244) – “Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things.”

Quran (2:216) – “Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.” Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding caravans with this verse.
