The Holy Quran say s
in Surah Al-Baqarah, chapter 2 Verse 190 as follows:
“Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you,
(i.e.do not begin hostilities) and
transgress not. lo Allah loves not the
transgressors (those who begin hostilities, misbehave, do wrong and
break the rules) ”
The verse in so clear, Muslims are clearly prohibited to start
fighting. The verse clearly says: “Fight against those who fight
against you”.
Islam loves peace so much, that Allah announces that he does not
love transgressors., i.e., ALLAH does not love those who begin
fighting and break the rules, etc..
CHAPTER 2 VERSE 191
“And kill them
whenever you find them, and turn them out from where they have
turned you out..……….” (2/ 191).
People often quote the first part of the statement i.e. “kill them
wherever you find them” ____ The important part of the statement
that “ turn them out from where they have turned you out” clearly
indicates that the muslins have been asked to kill those people
who have EARLIER turned them out.
Therefore in this verse the order is not to
kill innocent people wherever you find them.
ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO DEAL EQUITABLY WITH PEACEFUL NON-MUSLIMS
ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO DEAL EQUITABLY WITH THOSE WHO FOUGHT NOT ON
ACCOUNT OF RELIGION NOR DROVE THE MUSLIMS OUT OF THEIR HOMES. ALLAH
ENCOURAGES TO DEAL BENEVOLENTLY WITH THEM.
Please read in this regard Surat-ul-MUMTAHINAH, chapter 60 verse 8:
“Allah forbids you not that you should deal benevolently and
equitably with those who fought not against you on account of your
religion nor drove you out from your homes; verily Allah loves the
equitable”.
PEACE TIME RELATIONSHIP
1) In times of peace I don’t know from
history any single event when prophet Muhammad (SAW) ordered his
followers to kill Jews and Christians.
2) Jews and
Christians can be guests of Muslims.
Chapter 5 surah Al-Maidah verse No. 5 says as follows: -
“…. The food of the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) is
lawful to you, and yours lawful to them. This means that in the time
of the Holy Prophet (SAW) the Jews and Christians used to be guests
of Muslims and vice versa. Therefore, no peace time killings of Jews
and Christians.
3) Life time
love.
The Holy Quran says in Surah Al-Maidah chapter 5 verse 5 that “………….
(lawful unto you in marriage) are chaste women from those who were
given the Scripture (Jews and Christians).
This clearly means that Muslims were not day and night busy in
killing Jews and Christians. Can we imagine that the Muslims used to
kill their Jewish wives, Jewish fathers and mothers in law).
4) Peace time
relationship.
Peace time relationship with non Muslims is very beautifully given
in the Holy Quran (Surah 16 the Bee verse 125):-
“Call them into the way of the Lord with wisdom and goodly
exhortation and argue with them with that which is best”.
Those Muslims, Jews and Christians who run
away from BEST ARGUMENTS should read this verse at least 10 times
from the depth of their hearts.
