Internal contradictions and canceled verses of the Koran. Ayats of nasikh and mansukh

Answer: I begin in the Name of Allah. All praise belongs to Allah, may blessings and greetings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and companions! May Allah guide us all to what He loves and what He will be pleased with!

Firstly, Islam has clarified the rules for religious freedom. The Qur'an says (meaning): " There is no compulsion in religion. The straight path has already been distinguished from error"(Surah al-Baqarah, verse 256). As the interpreters of the Koran say, this verse was revealed for the following reason: “One man from the inhabitants of Medina accepted Islam, he had two unbelieving children. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: “O Messenger of Allah, I want to force my children to accept Islam. If they don't accept Islam, will they go to hell? Then this verse was revealed.”

Secondly, Islam has determined the path for Muslims to call upon. The Koran says: " Call to the path of the Lord with wisdom (the Qur'an) and good admonition (sermons from the Qur'an) and argue with them in the best way (do not harm them)"(Surah Nahl, verse 125).

Third, many Quranic verses talk about love, forbearance, compassion, good acquaintance, mercy and friendship.

Fourth, the spread of religion through weapons was in all religions, not only in Islam, and therefore it would be wrong to isolate only Islam by this.

Fifthly, most Islamic wars were defensive, not offensive - it's worth thinking about.

At sixth, Islam called for battle against anyone who attacked Muslims. The Koran says: " Fight in the path of Allah with those who fight against you, but do not transgress the boundaries of what is permitted. Truly Allah does not love criminals"(Surah al-Baqarah, verse 190). Another verse says: “If they break their oaths after the conclusion of the agreement and begin to encroach on your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for for them there are no oaths. Perhaps then they will stop” (Surah at-Tawbah, verse 12).

Seventh, he is mistaken who thinks that jihad is only a military battle and that the verses that talk about battle always call for war. And we know with confidence that our Master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) hated battles.

Islam was imposed on the world by fire and sword, some say. Others believe that Islam was spread exclusively peacefully. But, as it turned out, in most cases, one or another point of view about the history of the spread of Islam is held only on the basis of assumptions, desires of what people want to see. Stereotypes are also formed by the presentation of false or inaccurate information in the media.

And only a small part of society, perhaps even a few, study history and facts, giving them a fair assessment, before expressing their point of view.

So who is right in this debate? How was Islam spread? Through violence or conscription? Sword or feather? That is the question…

To get closer to the truth, we need to analyze the past by studying the historical facts, motives and reasons for such a rapid spread of Islam throughout the world.

At the dawn of Islam

So, VI-VVII century AD. Arabian Peninsula. The pre-Islamic society of the Arabs, like, in principle, all neighboring peoples and states of that time, lives in the bosom of paganism. Tyranny and arbitrariness, inter-tribal wars and clashes reign among the Arabs. This period in the history of pre-Islamic Arabia is called a time of ignorance, extreme tribalism, and injustice. The Arabs had a rule: “help your fellow tribesman, be he oppressed or even a tyrant oppressor.” Strong tribes could afford to oppress and mock weaker and smaller tribes.

A kind of racism was also widespread. For example, black people from Africa were not considered people, they were perceived only as slaves. Social inequality of that time reached unprecedented proportions, usury, robbery, and violence were widespread.

But to the Arabs of the Qureish tribe, Allah sent the last prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!). Even before the revelation of the prophecy, from the very adolescence of Muhammad, the Arabs knew his purity and greatness of character (peace be upon him!). Because of his truthfulness and fidelity to his word, he was called Amin, which means “faithful”, “reliable”. At the age of 26, Muhammad (peace be upon him!) married Khadija bint Khuwaylid. In 610, when Muhammad (peace be upon him!) was already 40 years old, in the cave of Hira during Ramadan, the Archangel Gabriel (peace be upon him!) brought him the Revelation of Allah - the Koran.

It was at this time, when injustice and tyranny in the pre-Islamic society of the Arabs reached its apogee, that the last prophet and messenger of Allah appeared in world history - Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!). This was the beginning of a new civilization, the civilization of Islam, which continues to this day.

The core of this civilization is the worship of the Creator alone - Monotheism, as well as universal brotherhood and equality of all people before God, regardless of their tribal, national and racial affiliation.

The Koran says: “Verily, Allah commands to do justice, do good and give gifts to relatives. He forbids abominations, reprehensible acts and lawlessness. He exhorts you, perhaps you will remember the lesson” (Surah Bees, verse 90).

The Prophet and Messenger of Allah Muhammad (peace be upon him!) said: “Truly, Allah has removed from you the tribal national spirit inherent in ignorance, and the custom inherent in it to boast of one’s ancestors, and now people are divided only into pious Muslims or unfortunate sinners! All people are children of Adam, and Adam was created from dust, so an Arab has no advantage over a non-Arab, except in piety” (at-Tirmidhi).

The call of the prophet and messenger of Allah Muhammad (peace be upon him!) was truly a revolution in the pre-Islamic society of Arabia. Islam became the driving force that gave equality, love among believers, and the desire for justice. The principles of equality are winning more and more hearts. People of different ages, tribes, nations, races, men and women, former slave owners and slaves - everyone began to accept Islam.

This, of course, gave rise to fear and hatred on the part of the ruling elite of the pagan Arabs, since this threatened the collapse of the entire system of government, the entire way of life of pagan Arabia. Pagans from among the noble and wealthy Arabs take measures to prevent this call by any means, first by cunning, attempts at bribery, intimidation, and then by persecution, violence and even the threat of physical elimination of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!).

First they offered the following: “O Muhammad! If you came with this business, wanting to get wealth, then we will collect wealth for you, and you will become the wealthiest among us. If you want to win honor among us by this, then we will make you master over us. If you seek power by this, then we will make you king over us...” The Prophet (peace be upon him!) replied: “... I came with what I came to you with, not to demand from you wealth or an honorable position among you and not to be king over you"; “I swear by Allah! Even if they put the sun in one of my hands and the moon in the other, I will not stop preaching my religion” (Ibn Hisham “Sira ar-Rasul”).

After the pagans became convinced of the futility of all attempts, the persecution of Muslims and the Prophet (peace be upon him!) began, and death threats became more frequent. The persecution intensified from year to year for 12-13 years, from the intolerability of which Muslims were forced to wander around different cities and countries in search of refuge, and all this time they endured and never once raised a sword in their defense, even when they were killed!

This continued until 622, when the Muslims finally found refuge in the city of Yathrib (later Medina) and moved there completely. Arab society at that moment was already divided into Muslim Arabs and pagan Arabs.

Sword or feather?!

“There is no compulsion in religion...” - this is what verse 256 of the Koran sura “al-Baqarah” says. Indeed, in the next 13 years, both in Mecca and Medina, there was no fact of coercion or imposition of Islam. However, it is in Medina that the strongest development and a huge leap in the adoption of Islam is observed.

At this time, the pagan Arabs in Mecca, having learned that a completely new Muslim community was emerging in Medina, decided to gather an army and go to war against them. The first battle between Muslims and pagans takes place in 624 near Medina at the Badr well, where the pagans suffer a crushing defeat, but a year later, in 625, they take revenge - they again attack the Muslims and win.

In 627, the pagans besieged Medina for a month, then a small battle took place at the Ditch, after which they were forced to retreat. Thus, on the Arab peninsula until 630, battles took place between the Arabs, as a result of which the pagans of Mecca were forced to surrender, since by this time almost all the Arab tribes had converted to Islam. This is a brief history of Islam in the Arab Peninsula.

Dear reader, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that before the first battle with the pagans in 624, Muslims had never raised a sword, since there was no command from Allah for Muslims to defend themselves using force and weapons, even if they oppress and kill.

And only 13 years later, after severe persecution and attacks, Allah revealed verses allowing Muslims to defend themselves with the sword from the sword of aggressors who attacked and killed Muslims, based on the fact that they believe in One God.

Allah said in the Quran: “They were unjustly expelled from their homes only because they said: “Our Lord is Allah.” If Allah had not allowed some people to defend themselves from others, the cells, churches, synagogues and mosques in which the name of Allah is greatly remembered would have been destroyed. Allah certainly helps those who help Him. Verily, Allah is All-Powerful, Mighty" (Sura al-Hajj, verse 22).


In the Quran, Allah says: “Fight in the path of Allah those who fight against you, but do not transgress the boundaries of what is permitted. Verily, Allah does not love criminals” (Surah al-Baqarah, verse 190), and also: “But if they stop, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful” (Surah al-Baqarah, verse 192). These verses clearly indicate that drawing a sword is permitted in Islam, but only when the life, honor and property of a believer are threatened.

Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, war is still an integral part of humanity, because there is injustice, oppression, tyranny and tyranny. Today, every state in the world has its own armed forces that protect the security of their country. Even according to international law, every state has the right to defend itself against aggressors.

So why should Islam and Muslims be an exception? After all, in those distant times there was no international law, there was no concept of protecting human rights, the right to intervene due to a humanitarian catastrophe, genocide, etc.

Yes, someone may say, but what about the battles with the Byzantine and Persian empires? Undoubtedly, this is a fact, but there we see the same scenario as in the battles within the Arab state. In these two empires, tyranny reigned and the people were oppressed. The inhabitants of those lands were glad that Islam came to the defense of the oppressed and enslaved people and opened new borders and prospects, as evidenced by prominent thinkers and historians.

Let's look at a few such examples.

George Bernard Shaw(1856−1950) - British writer, novelist, playwright, Nobel Prize laureate.

“If a man like Muhammad were destined to single-handedly rule the present world, he would succeed in solving its problems, which in turn would bring this world the peace and happiness that it so lacks. I studied him, an amazing man and far from being the Antichrist, - on the contrary, he should be called the Savior of mankind... If any religion has a chance to rule in England and Europe for the next hundred years, then this religion is Islam" ( Real Islam. 1936. T. 1. No. 8).

Napoleon Bonaparte(1769−1821) - French emperor in 1804−1815, a great commander and statesman who laid the foundations of the modern French state.

“Moses revealed to his people the existence of God. Jesus Christ to the Romans, and Muhammad to the entire Old World.”

“Arabia was a country of idolaters until, 6 centuries after Jesus, Muhammad introduced the Arabs to the God spoken of by Abraham, Ishmael, Moses and Jesus. The Arians and some other sects disturbed the peace in the East by questioning the nature of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Muhammad explained to them that God is one, he has neither father nor son, and the Trinity preaches nothing more than the idea of ​​idolatry.”

“I hope that the time when I can unite all wise and learned people from all countries and establish a single regime based on the principles of the Koran, which is the only and true guide capable of leading people to happiness, is not far off...” (Personal Letters Napoleon. T. 1, part 5. No. 4287 from 17/07/1799).

Mahatma Gandhi(1869−1948) - one of the leaders and ideologists of the Indian independence movement.

“I would like to know the best of those who today have undeniable power over the hearts of millions of people. I became more than sure that it was not the sword that won Islam a place at that time... It was the unyielding purity, the supreme self-sacrifice of the prophet, the careful fulfillment of his duties, his great devotion to his friends and followers, his courage, his fearlessness, his absolute faith in God and his own mission" (Harun Yahyi. Prophet Muhammad. 2008).

Let's also look at those states where Islam spread thanks to trade, science, and conscription. Did you know that the largest number of Muslims is not in Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in Indonesia. There are 240 million Muslims (!) living there, and there have never been battles or wars there since the Indonesian people adopted Islam. The people themselves heeded the peaceful word of the preachers of Islam, because it is impossible to influence a person’s heart through violence, forcing him to believe with the sword. Religion deals with the beliefs and heart of a person, so coercion and violence are simply impossible in religion.

A person is free to choose his religion, and no one can force him to believe what he does not want to believe. Along with Indonesia, one can cite a number of states and entire continents in which Islam is quite widespread: Australia, South and North America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Spread of Islam in Kyrgyzstan

Quite an interesting question for our readers: how and when did the Kyrgyz become Muslims? And most importantly, how did the Kyrgyz adopt Islam - under the threat of the sword or through conscription? But to answer this question, you first need to figure out whether there were Arab-Kyrgyz wars in history at all, did Muslim Arab troops set foot on the lands of the Kyrgyz and burned their houses?

Anyone who is more or less familiar with history knows that all of Central Asia, including the territory of modern Kyrgyzstan, over the course of a long history has faced raids by various tribes and peoples, in particular from the territories of Siberia, China, Mongolia, and Persia. But throughout their ancient history, the Kyrgyz never fought with Muslim Arabs.

The first mentions of the appearance of Islam on the land of Kyrgyzstan date back to the 8th century, and already by the 10th century, during the era of the Karakhanids, when the city of Balasagun (not far from the modern city of Tokmok, Burana Tower) flourished, Islam became the official religion among the Karakhanid Turks due to the adoption of Islam the ruler of the Karakhanid Kaganate - Kagan Satuk. As the great historian of Arab chronicles Ibn Kathir writes in his book “al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya (vol. 6, p. 155), “... 10 thousand families of the Turks of Balasagun and Kashgar accept Islam, in honor of which they sacrifice 20 thousand sheep. With the adoption of Islam, the Balasagun people, as well as the Turkic cities, begin to acquire a highly revered status.”

The Kyrgyz also included those Turkic peoples and tribes of Central Asia who were the first of the nomads to accept Islam in the region and were carriers of this religion. These are the Karluk Turks, Chigils, Yagmas, Oguzes, and Kipchaks. Perhaps the Kyrgyz began to convert to Islam in the 14th–15th centuries, when various military-political alliances of tribes appeared on the territory of modern Kyrgyzstan. As some historians say, the tribes of Central Asia formed into alliances, and one such example is the formation of an alliance of different tribes around the Kyrgyz people.

Modern Kyrgyzstan is rich in Muslim historical monuments (Burana Tower, Tash-Rabat, etc.), as well as outstanding personalities of the 10th-12th centuries, such as Zhusup Balasaguni (born in the city of Balasagun - now Tokmok) and Mahmud Kashgari-Barskani (born in Barskoon - Issyk-Kul). And even in the epic “Manas” we find Muslim culture and customs.

Afterword

Having carried out a brief analysis of the history of the emergence of Islam and its development, for an objective reader with an impartial judgment it becomes clear that the most important weapon of Islam is the word, which is sharper than all the swords in the world and the sharpness of which strikes the hearts and minds of people with its purity and beauty, turning the soul of everyone a sincere and fair person. And it is not the sword that today forces billions of people on the planet to voluntarily kneel before the Creator in prayer, but the word of Allah Almighty, written with a pen in the Holy Scriptures. And each of us will be able to comprehend the wisdom and greatness of Islam, if he only picks up the Holy Quran and reads it, because the very first word in the Quran and the instruction of Allah is the word “Read!!!”

Read in the name of your Lord, Who created all things. He created man from a blood clot. Read, because your Lord is the most generous. He taught a man through a writing stick what he did not know

Koran, sura 96, verse 1−5

If they repent and begin to pray and pay zakat, then release them, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. And when will these forbidden months [four months] end? (in which the polytheists are safe), then kill (these) polytheists wherever you find them, capture them (captive), besiege them (in their fortresses) [do not allow them to go out] (until they have no choice between destruction and Islam) and ambush them in every place! If they repent [abandon disbelief and become submissive to Allah] and perform prayer and give the obligatory charity [zakat], then clear their way for them [leave them] (since they became your brothers in the Faith): Verily, Allah is Forgiving (those who turn to Him with repentance)(and) merciful (to them)!

If they repent and begin to pray and pay zakat, then release them, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. [[Allah forbade fighting with polytheists who had concluded peace treaties with Muslims during the four forbidden months. During these months they are allowed to move freely throughout the land, but after this period they lose their immunity, and Muslims have the right to fight them anywhere and at any time, as well as to take them captive. Moreover, Muslims must besiege them and not allow them to feel at ease in the land that Allah has made a place for worshiping Him. The polytheists are not worthy to live on it and do not have the right to even an inch of this land, because it entirely belongs to Him, and they are His enemies. They resist their Lord and His messengers and fight in hopes of destroying His religion on earth. But Allah will not allow this to happen and will spread the light of His religion, even if it is hateful to the unbelievers. Then the Almighty commanded the faithful to occupy various areas of the earth and fight steadfastly on His path, making any effort to do so. Muslims must continue this endeavor until the polytheists repent of worshiping false deities. But if they repent, begin to perform prayers properly and pay zakat to those who are due, then Muslims have no right to detain them. Converts receive the same rights as other Muslims and are subject to the same responsibilities as other Muslims. Verily, the Forgiving and Merciful Allah forgives polytheism and all other sins to those who repent. He shows mercy to His servants when He first inspires them to repentance and then accepts it from them. This revelation indicates that if people refuse to perform namaz or pay zakat, then they should be dealt with until they begin to perform these rituals. It was this verse that the Most Truthful Abu Bakr relied on in his time.]] Ibn Kathir

When the forbidden months are over, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them and set up any ambush for them. If they repent and begin to pray and pay zakat, then release them, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Commentators disagree about which of the forbidden months are meant in this verse. Do you mean the forbidden months of the year that are mentioned in the verse: ( مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنْفُسَكُمْ ) Four months of them are forbidden. This is the right religion, and therefore do not do injustice to yourself in them. (9:36) This is what Abu Jafar al-Baqir thought. Ibn Jarir believes that we are talking about four months of respite, which are forbidden to us in relation to them. Ali ibn Abu Talha conveys the same opinion from ibn Abbas, ad-Dahhak also believed. Mujahid, Amr ibn Shuaib, Muhammad ibn Ishaq, Qatada, as-Suddi, Abdrahman ibn Zaydibn Aslam believed that we are talking about months of delay given for moving on land: ( فَسِيحُواْ فِى الاٌّرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ ) Therefore wander the earth for four months.

Allah further said:( فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ ) When will the forbidden months end – i.e. When these four months are over, in which We forbade you to kill them, then wherever you find them, you can kill them.

Allah says: (فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ ) “Then kill the polytheists wherever you find them” - this means, in general, on earth, except for the Forbidden Mosque, because there is a ban :( وَلاَ تُقَـتِلُوهُمْ عِندَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتَّى يُقَـتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِن قَـتَلُوكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ ) “But do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight you there. If they fight you, then kill them.” (2:191)

Words of Allah:( وَخُذُوهُمْ ) “Grab them” – i.e. execute one of them and take them prisoner. (وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ ) “Besiege them and set up any ambush for them” - that is, do not limit yourself to simply finding them. Besiege their lairs and fortresses, set up ambushes on their paths and roads to make their life unbearable. Force them to make a choice: either death or Islam. That is why Allah said: ( فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ وَءاتَوُاْ الزَّكَوةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ) “If they repent and begin to perform prayer and pay zakat, then let them go, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” It was on this verse and similar verses that Abu Bakr Siddeq relied in his war against those who refused to pay zakat. It is after performing these actions, i.e. after they accept Islam and fulfill its obligations, fighting against them becomes forbidden. He mentioned the highest obligations of Islam in order. The most worthy deed after making two testimonies is prayer, and it is one of the rights of Allah over a slave. And then comes zakat, which benefits many in need, and is one of the most worthy deeds for creation. Therefore, very often prayer and zakat alternate in pairs in verses.

The two sahikhs are given a hadith, where the Messenger of Allah said: “أircraft:“ أircraft أookèmp أipe الل# حaked حimes حipe icles online إmpicate إmp Photo وookأ ym inct Ictول 13 اللهurb وookيمo online الصلoccاةored وipeؤuse الزail.Ru "" I was ordered to fight with people until they witness that there is no deity except Allah , and that Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, will perform prayers and pay zakat.”

This sacred verse (9:5) is also called the “Ayat of the Sword.” As ad-Dahhak ibn Muzahim says, this verse annuls all previous agreements and terms of polytheists with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Al-Awfi reports from Ibn Abbas that after the revelation of Surah Al-Baraa, there are no treaties and no provision of security for polytheists. All those who had indefinite non-aggression pacts before the revelation of this surah have a grace period of four months. And after notification of release from the agreements, the period will be valid until the tenth of Rabi’al-Akhyr.

Studying the verse

I studied and understood this verse!

  • 82 Don't they think about the Koran? After all, if he had not been from Allah, they would have found there are many contradictions in it.

A there are so many contradictions? Or no matter how many contradictions there are, one can always say that this is not much.

Sura 10 ayat-64

  • 64 They are destined for good news in this world and in the Hereafter. The words of Allah are not subject to cancellation. This is great success.

Sura 2 verse-106

  • 106 When We cancel or make one verse forgotten, We bring one that is better than it or equal to it. Don't you know that Allah is capable of everything?

Quran - abolished verse

Qur'an - the abrogating verse

1) Controversy or cancellation in several stages

Sura 2:219

  • 219 They ask you about wine and gambling. Say: "They contain a great sin, but there is also benefit for people, although there is more sin in them than benefit.” They ask you what they should spend. Say: "Excess." Thus Allah makes clear the signs to you, so that you may consider

At the first stage, alcohol was completely acceptable in Islam.

Sura 4:43

  • 43 O you who believe! Do not approach prayer while drunk until you understand what you are saying., and being in a state of sexual defilement until you have bathed, unless you are a traveler. If you are sick or on a journey, if one of you has come from the restroom, or if you have had intimacy with women and you do not find water, then go to clean earth and wipe your faces and hands. Verily, Allah is Forgiving

Sura 4:43

This sura is given at the top right, it abolished Sura 2:219 which allowed the use of alcohol. Sura 4:43, in turn, prohibits alcohol only before prayer.

Sura 5:90

  • 90 O you who believe! Truly intoxicating drinks, gambling, stone altars (or idols) and divination arrows are the evil works of Satan. Avoid her, perhaps you will succeed.

Thus, the Quran contains either several successive abrogations of verses or contradictions. If these are contradictions, then how does this correspond to Sura 4 verse 82? And if it is cancelled, then Surah 10 verse 64.

2) Contradiction or reversal of how Muslims should relate
to Jews, Christians.

Sura 2:62

  • 62 Truly believers, as well as Jews, Christians and Sabians Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous deeds will have a reward with their Lord. They will know no fear and will not be saddened.

Sura 3:85

  • 85 From the fact who is looking for another religion besides Islam, this will never be accepted, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.

Sura 42:15

  • 15 Therefore preach and follow the straight path as you have been commanded. Do not indulge their desires and say: “I believe in what Allah has revealed from the Book, and I am commanded to treat you fairly. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We will get our deeds, and you will get your deeds. There is no room for arguments (further arguments) between you and us. Allah will gather us all, and to Him we will arrive.”

Ayat of the Sword 9:5

Sura 9:29

  • 29 Fight against those of the People of the Book who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, who do not consider forbidden what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, who do not profess the true religion until they pay tribute with their own hands, remaining humiliated.

3) Contradiction or cancellation of how the religion of Islam should spread

Sura 2:256

  • 256 There is no compulsion in religion. The straight path has already been distinguished from error. Whoever does not believe in taghut, but believes in Allah, has grabbed the most reliable handle that will never break. Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.

Sura 16:125

  • 125 Call to the path of the Lord with wisdom and good admonition, and argue with them in the best possible way. Verily, your Lord knows best those who stray from His path, and knows best those who follow the straight path.

Sura 8:61

  • 61 If they incline towards peace, you too incline towards peace and trust in Allah. Verily, He is the Hearer, the Knower.

Sura 15:3

  • 3 Leave them - let them eat, enjoy benefits and be carried away by their aspirations. They'll find out soon.

Sura 8:39

  • 39 Fight them until the temptation disappears and until religion (worship) will not be completely dedicated to Allah. If they stop, then Allah sees what they do.

Sura 9:5

  • 5 When will the forbidden months end? then kill the polytheists wherever you find them, take them prisoner, besiege them and arrange any ambush for them. If they repent and begin to pray and pay zakat, then release them, for Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

The path of calling to Islam by wisdom and good exhortation has been abolished by “Ayat of the Sword 9:5” Due to the fact that Ayat 9:5 has abrogated many verses, more than 100

Interpretation of the sword verse 9:5

Abu Adel

Fight (o believers) with those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not adhere to the Faith of Truth [the principles of Islam] - from (number) those to whom the Scripture was given [from among the Jews and Christians] until they give [will pay] (to you) the ransom tribute with their own hand, being humiliated(and submissive) [defeated].

Al Muntahab

O you who believe! Fight with those of the owners of the Book who do not believe in Allah properly: they do not recognize resurrection on the Day of Judgment and retribution, do not consider forbidden what is not permitted by Allah and His Messenger, and do not believe in the true religion - Islam. Fight them until they believe or give the jiziya [[Jiziya - the poll tax imposed on non-Muslims, was one of the important budget revenues of the Muslim state. The tax was taken from Jews and Christians, but their women, old people, children, the poor and slaves were exempt from it. The idea behind the tax is that the possessors of the Scripture were not commanded to fight in wars to defend themselves and others, therefore, it was fair that they pay taxes, since the Muslim state protected them and provided them with normal life activities and entrepreneurship. After all, Muslims gave the state a fifth of war booty, zakat (purifying alms), alms after Ramadan and various alms to atone for sins. Taxing is not a punishment, but participation in the state budget, as Muslims do. After all, Islam is a just religion!]] with their own hand, exhausted and humble, in order to replenish the budget of the Muslim community.
