THE QURAN, TERROR 101; Instruction Manual For Terrorism And Killings by promisechuks: 9:50pm On Feb 10, 2016
YEA! PLEASE GRAB SOME POP-CORN AND STUDY, lol.


Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find
them, and turn them out from where they have
turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is
worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and
merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah
[disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah]
and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let
there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun
(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation
is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190)
refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who
fight you" leading some to believe that the entire
passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims
are defending their homes and families. The
historical context of this passage is not defensive
warfare, however, 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). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer
resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The
use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim
translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words
for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a
variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The
word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the
disorder that results from unbelief or temptation.
This is certainly what is meant in this context since
the violence is explicitly commissioned "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 into raiding 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,
who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims
are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death
and destruction for the cause of Allah. This 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 of the believers
who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by
injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive
hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth
and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those
who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their
lives above those who sit (at home).Unto each, Allah
has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has
preferred those who strive hard and fight, above
those who sit (at home) by a huge 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 this
Arabic word (mujahiduna) 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, which would not make sense if it
meant an internal struggle).


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."


Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no
more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for
Allah" Some translations interpret "fitna" as
"persecution", but the traditional understanding of
this word is not supported by the historical context
(See notes for 2:193). The Meccans were simply
refusing Muhammad access to their city during Haj.
Other Muslims were allowed to travel there - just not
as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared
war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were
also acting in defense of their religion, since it was
Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and
establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence
the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion
is only for Allah", meaning that the true justification
of violence was the unbelief of the opposition.
According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324)
Muhammad further explains that "Allah must have
no rivals."


Quran (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war,
deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are
behind them, that haply they may remember."


Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should
have prisoners of war until he had made a great
slaughter in the land..."


Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve
suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo!
they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou
canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that
thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your
enemy."


Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to
fight..."


Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have
passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you
find them, and take them captive and besiege them
and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they
repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate,
leave their way free to them." According to this
verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim
violence is to convert to Islam (prayer (salat) and the
poor tax (zakat) are among the religion's Five Pillars).
This popular claim that the Quran only inspires
violence within the context of self-defense is
seriously challenged by this passage as well, since
the Muslims to whom it was written were obviously
not under attack. Had they been, then there would
have been no waiting period (earlier verses make it a
duty for Muslims to fight in self-defense, even during
the sacred months). The historical context is Mecca
after the idolaters were subjugated by Muhammad
and posed no threat. Once the Muslims had power,
they violently evicted those unbelievers who would
not convert.


Quran (9:14) - "Fight against them so that Allah will
punish them by your hands and disgrace them and
give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a
believing people." Humiliating and hurting non-
believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is
ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment
and even "healing" the hearts of Muslims.


Quran (9:20) - "Those who believe, and have left their
homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in
Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's
sight. These are they who are triumphant." The
Arabic word interpreted as "striving" in this verse is
the same root as "Jihad". The context is obviously
holy war.


Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah
nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath
been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are)
of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya
with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued." "People of the Book" refers to Christians
and Jews. According to this verse, they are to be
violently subjugated, with the sole justification being
their religious status. Verse 9:33 tells Muslims that
Allah has charted them to make Islam "superior over
all religions." This chapter was one of the final
"revelations" from Allah and it set in motion the
tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad's
companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the
Christian world in the next 100 years. Islam is
intended to dominate all other people and faiths.


Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of
Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"


Quran (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the
matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth
in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place."
This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that
they will be punished with Hell.


Quran (9:41) - "Go forth, light-armed and heavy-
armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in
the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew."
See also the verse that follows ( 9:42) - "If there had
been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey
easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed
thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on
them" This contradicts the myth that Muslims are to fight only in self-defense, since the wording implies that battle will be waged a long distance from home (in another country and on Christian soil, in this case, according to the historians).


Quran (9:73) - "O Prophet! strive hard against the
unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to
them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination." Dehumanizing those who reject Islam,
by reminding Muslims that unbelievers are merely
firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify slaughter.
It also explains why today's devout Muslims have
little regard for those outside the faith.


Quran (9:88) - "But the Messenger, and those who
believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth
and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper."

Quran (9:111) - "Allah hath purchased of the
believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme." How does the Quran define a true believer?


Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of
the unbelievers who are near to you and let them
find in you hardness."


Quran (17:16) - "And when We wish to destroy a
town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction." Note that the crime is moral transgression, and the punishment is "utter
destruction." (Before ordering the 9/11 attacks,
Osama bin Laden first issued Americans an invitation to Islam).


Quran (18:65-81) - This parable lays the theological
groundwork for honor killings, in which a family
member is murdered because they brought shame to the family, either through apostasy or perceived
moral indiscretion. The story (which is not found in
any Jewish or Christian source) tells of Moses
encountering a man with "special knowledge" who
does things which don't seem to make sense on the
surface, but are then justified according to later
explanation. One such action is to murder a youth for no apparent reason (74). However, the wise man
later explains that it was feared that the boy would
"grieve" his parents by "disobedience and
ingratitude." He was killed so that Allah could
provide them a 'better' son. (Note: This is one reason why honor killing is sanctioned by Sharia. Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Saliq) says that punishment for murder is not applicable when a parent or grandparent kills their offspring (o.1.1-2).)


Quran (21:44) - "We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?"


Quran (25:52) - "Therefore listen not to the
Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness..." "Strive against" is Jihad - obviously not in the personal context. It's also significant to point out that this is a Meccan verse.


Quran (33:60-62) - "If the hypocrites, and those in
whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the
city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it
but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized
wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter."
This passage sanctions the slaughter (rendered
"merciless" and "horrible murder" in other
translations) against three groups: Hypocrites
(Muslims who refuse to "fight in the way of
Allah" ( 3:167) and hence don't act as Muslims
should), those with "diseased hearts" (which include Jews and Christians 5:51-52), and "alarmists" or "agitators who include those who merely speak out against Islam, according to Muhammad's biographers. It is worth noting that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today's terrorists do. If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of Medina, then it is unclear why it is included in Allah's eternal word to Muslim generations.


Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow
falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth
from their Lord... So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost."
Those who reject Allah are to be killed in Jihad. The
wounded are to be held captive for ransom. The only reason Allah doesn't do the dirty work himself is to to test the faithfulness of Muslims. Those who kill pass the test.


Quran (47:35) - "Be not weary and faint-hearted,
crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost
(Shakir: "have the upper hand"wink for Allah is with
you,"


Quran (48:17) - "There is no blame for the blind, nor
is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso
obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him
enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and
whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a
painful doom." Contemporary apologists sometimes
claim that Jihad means 'spiritual struggle.' Is so, then why are the blind, lame and sick exempted? This verse also says that those who do not fight will suffer torment in hell.


Quran (48:29) - "Muhammad is the messenger of
Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves"
Islam is not about treating everyone equally. This
verse tells Muslims that there are two very distinct
standards that are applied based on religious status.
Also the word used for 'hard' or 'ruthless' in this
verse shares the same root as the word translated as 'painful' or severe' to describe Hell in over 25 other verses including 65:10, 40:46 and 50:26..


Quran (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in
His way" Religion of Peace, indeed! The verse
explicitly refers to "battle array" meaning that it is
speaking of physical conflict. This is followed by
( 61:9): "He it is who has sent His Messenger
(Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions
even though the infidels may resist." (See next
verse, below). Infidels who resist Islamic rule are to
be fought.


Quran (61:10-12) - "O You who believe! Shall I guide
you to a commerce that will save you from a painful
torment. That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of'Adn- Eternity ['Adn(Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success." This verse refers to physical battle in order to make Islam victorious over other religions (see above). It uses the Arabic word, Jihad.


Quran (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the
disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with
them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's
end." The root word of "Jihad" is used again here. The context is clearly holy war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include "hypocrites" - those who call themselves Muslims but do not act as such.

Salamalikum brother, let us examine

وَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوۡهُمۡ وَاَخۡرِجُوۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ اَخۡرَجُوۡكُمۡ​ وَالۡفِتۡنَةُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقٰتِلُوۡهُمۡ عِنۡدَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ حَتّٰى يُقٰتِلُوۡكُمۡ فِيۡهِ​ۚ فَاِنۡ قٰتَلُوۡكُمۡ فَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡؕ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ 
(2:191) Kill them whenever you confront them and drive them out from where they drove you out. (For though killing is sinful) wrongful persecution is even worse than killing. Do not fight against them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight against you; but if they fight against you kill them, for that is the reward of such unbelievers.
Here the word fitnah is used in the sense of 'persecution'. It refers to a situation whereby either a person or a group is subjected to harassment and intimidation for having accepted, as true, a set of ideas contrary to those currently held, and for striving to effect reforms in the existing order of society by preaching what is good and condemning what is wrong. Such a situation must be changed, if need be, by the force of arms.

Bloodshed is bad, but when one group of people imposes its ideology and forcibly prevents others from accepting the truth, then it becomes guilty of an even more serious crime. In such circumstances, it is perfectly legitimate to remove that oppressive group by the force of arms.

فَاِنِ انۡـتَهَوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ 
(2:192) Then if they desist, know well that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Compassionate.
God, in whom the believers have faith, is forgiving and ready to pardon even the worst criminals and sinners after they have renounced their arrogant defiance towards Him. It is suggested that this attribute of God should be reflected in the behaviour of the believers as well. As the saying goes: 'Mould your morals according to the attributes of God.' Hence, Whenever the believers have to resort to armed conflict, they should do so not for the sake of quenching their thirst for vengeance but in the cause of God's religion. Their conflict with any group should last only as long as that group resists the cause of God. As soon as it gives up this resistance hostility should cease.

وَقٰتِلُوۡهُمۡ حَتّٰى لَا تَكُوۡنَ فِتۡنَةٌ وَّيَكُوۡنَ الدِّيۡنُ لِلّٰهِ​ؕ فَاِنِ انتَهَوۡا فَلَا عُدۡوَانَ اِلَّا عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ 
(2:193) Keep on fighting against them until mischief ends and the way prescribed by Allah prevails.But if they desist, then know that hostility is directed only against the wrong-doers.
Here the term fitnah is used in a different sense from the one in which it was used above see( verse 191). It is evident from the context that fitnah refers here to the state of affairs wherein the object of obedience is someone other than God. Hence the purpose of a believer's fighting is that this fitnah should cease and obedience should be consecrated to God alone.

An investigation of the usages of the word din (which occurs in this verse) reveals that the core of its meaning is obedience. In its technical usage, the word refers to that system of life which arises as a result of a person recognizing someone as his Lord and Sovereign and committing himself to following his commands and ordinances. This explanation of the word din makes it quite clear that when some human beings establish their godhead and absolute dominance over others, this state of affairs is one of fitnah. Islam seeks to put an end to this and replace it by a state of affairs in which people live in obedience to the laws of God alone.

. What is meant here by 'desisting' is not the abandonment of unbelief and polytheism on the part of the unbelievers but rather their desistance from active hostility to the religion enjoined by God. The unbeliever, the polytheist, the atheist, has each been, empowered to hold on to his beliefs and to worship who and whatever he wishes. In order to deliver these people from their error, Muslims are required to counsel them and tell them where their good lies. But Muslims ought not to try to achieve this purpose by resorting to force. At the same time, these misguided people have no right to either enforce the false laws of their own contriving instead of the laws of God or to drive the people of God to bondage of others than God. In order to put an end to this fitnah, both persuasion and force be used, whenever and to the extent to which each of the two is needed, and a true believer will not rest until the unbelievers give up this fitnah.

The statement that hostility is meant only against wrong-doers seems to imply that when the true system of life replaces the false one, ordinary people should be granted a general amnesty. At the same time, however, it would be justifiable to punish those who exceeded all limits in their hostility to the Truth, at the time when they held the reins of power. Yet in dealing with such people, it becomes the true believers, after they have one final victory, to adopt a general attitude of forgiveness and tolerance towards the vanquished rather than subject them to revenge for the wrongs they committed in the past. Those criminals whose records were exceptionally bad could, however, be punished. The Prophet (peace be on him), availed himself of this permission in respect of some notorious enemies whose hostility had exceeded all limits, even though pardon and forgiveness behoved none more than him. Thus 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'avt and Nadr b. Harith from among the captives of the Battle of Badr were put to death and when a general amnesty, was proclaimed after the conquest of Makka four out of seventeen persons were executed. (See Ibn Hisham, vol. 1, p. 644 and vol. 2, pp. 409 ff. - Ed.) These acts were based on the permission to put to the sword those who have been conspicuously ruthless in their hostility to Islam and the Muslims.

Critics point this verse out to people who have no knowledge about Islam saying, “Look – read, Muslims are to wage war unconditionally against all unbelievers”. As usual, critics cherry picking verses out of the Quran, leaving its context out. In reality, the text says opposite of what they portray of the passage. Let’s read previous verse and the verses coming after.

Quran 2:243 – 2:246

2:243 Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? God said to them, “Die”; then He restored them to life. And God is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.
2:244 And fight in the cause of God and know that God is Hearing and Knowing.
2:245 Who is it that would loan God a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is God who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.
2:246 Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, “Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of God”? He said, “Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?” They said, “And why should we not fight in the cause of God when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?” But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And God is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Verse 2:244 is telling us not to transgress limits and that Allah “hears and knows all”. Also, fight in God’s cause, means to fight oppression, as shown in verse 2:246, “And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?” In that context, verse 2:244 encourages Muslims to fight oppression, persecution. The passage does not endorse killing of innocents.



Commentary on Quran 2:243 – 246

The Holy Quran Arabic Text with English Translation, Commentary and comprehensive Introduction: Maulana Muhammad Ali

243a. Ul∂f is plural either of alf, meaning a thousand, or alif, a congregation or in a state of union (LL). The thousands referred to in this verse are the Israelites who left Egypt with Moses, the whole body of the Israelites being called a congregation in the Torah, and the clear mention of the Children of Israel after Moses in v. 246 corroborates this. Here we have a people who left their homes for fear of death, and besides the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt no incident in history answers to this description. In fact, the very word kharaj∂ (they went forth) from khur∂j (meaning exodus) contains a direct hint to the exodus of the Israelites. But in one respect, the Holy Qur’an differs from the Bible. According to the latter, the number of the Israelites was over 600,000 when they left Egypt (Num. 1:46), but the Qur’ån says they were thousands, not hundreds of thousands. There is no doubt, too, that the Israelites left Egypt for fear of death, for death would surely have been their fate if they had not emigrated. Not only were orders given by Pharaoh for their male offspring to be killed, but they were also kept in a state of bondage which would soon have brought them to a state of intellectual and moral death (compare v. 49). The next incident in the history of that nation as referred to here is the Divine commandment to them, to “die”. This is more fully stated in 5:21–26. Moses told them to enter the Holy Land “which Allah has ordained for you,” but they refused and were made to wander about in the wilderness for forty years, so that that generation perished. This is also shown by their history as given in the Old Testament: “Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness … doubtless ye shall not come into the land” (Num. 14:29, 30). This was their death. After that, we are told, Allåh gave them life. This refers to the next generation, which was made to inherit the promised land: “But your little ones … they shall know the land which ye have despised” (Num. 14:31). The whole is meant as a warning for the Muslims, who are told that if they followed the footsteps of the Israelites, death must be their fate. This warning is made clear in the next verse: And fight in the way of Allåh.

244a. See 2:190; fighting in Allåh’s way is equivalent to fighting in defence of faith.

Commenting on this verse, LL says: “It means, according to AIs, THE GRAMMARIAN, who is he who will offer unto God a good action or gift, or anything for which a requital may be sought; or, as Akh, one of the most famous grammarians says, who will do a good action by following and obeying the command of God ”; and he adds: “The Arabs say, qad aqra˙ta-nß qar˙-an √asan-an, which signifies thou hast done to me a good deed which I am bound to requite” (T, LL). According to Zj, qar˙ signifies anything done on which a reward may be expected (Rz).
245b. Allåh receives and amplifies means that Allåh receives the gift that is offered to Him and then amplifies it; in other words, any sacrifice made in the cause of Truth is amply rewarded by Allåh. Or, it is a general statement indicating that the tightening of the means of subsistence and their amplification are in the hands of Allåh, for yaqbi˙u also means he straitens.

246a. The prophet alluded to is Samuel: “Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us … that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles” (1 Sam. 8:19, 20). In the history which follows, the Qur’ån does not show any important difference with the Bible narrative. 246b. 1 Sam. 15:33 shows that the Amalekites had killed the Children of Israel, while 1 Sam. 17:1 shows that they had taken lands which belonged to Judah.

وَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوۡهُمۡ وَاَخۡرِجُوۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ اَخۡرَجُوۡكُمۡ​ وَالۡفِتۡنَةُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقٰتِلُوۡهُمۡ عِنۡدَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ حَتّٰى يُقٰتِلُوۡكُمۡ فِيۡهِ​ۚ فَاِنۡ قٰتَلُوۡكُمۡ فَاقۡتُلُوۡهُمۡؕ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ 
(2:191) Kill them whenever you confront them and drive them out from where they drove you out. (For though killing is sinful) wrongful persecution is even worse than killing. Do not fight against them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight against you; but if they fight against you kill them, for that is the reward of such unbelievers.
Here the word fitnah is used in the sense of 'persecution'. It refers to a situation whereby either a person or a group is subjected to harassment and intimidation for having accepted, as true, a set of ideas contrary to those currently held, and for striving to effect reforms in the existing order of society by preaching what is good and condemning what is wrong. Such a situation must be changed, if need be, by the force of arms.

Bloodshed is bad, but when one group of people imposes its ideology and forcibly prevents others from accepting the truth, then it becomes guilty of an even more serious crime. In such circumstances, it is perfectly legitimate to remove that oppressive group by the force of arms.

فَاِنِ انۡـتَهَوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ 
(2:192) Then if they desist, know well that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Compassionate.
God, in whom the believers have faith, is forgiving and ready to pardon even the worst criminals and sinners after they have renounced their arrogant defiance towards Him. It is suggested that this attribute of God should be reflected in the behaviour of the believers as well. As the saying goes: 'Mould your morals according to the attributes of God.' Hence, Whenever the believers have to resort to armed conflict, they should do so not for the sake of quenching their thirst for vengeance but in the cause of God's religion. Their conflict with any group should last only as long as that group resists the cause of God. As soon as it gives up this resistance hostility should cease.

وَقٰتِلُوۡهُمۡ حَتّٰى لَا تَكُوۡنَ فِتۡنَةٌ وَّيَكُوۡنَ الدِّيۡنُ لِلّٰهِ​ؕ فَاِنِ انتَهَوۡا فَلَا عُدۡوَانَ اِلَّا عَلَى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ‏ 
(2:193) Keep on fighting against them until mischief ends and the way prescribed by Allah prevails.But if they desist, then know that hostility is directed only against the wrong-doers.
Here the term fitnah is used in a different sense from the one in which it was used above see( verse 191). It is evident from the context that fitnah refers here to the state of affairs wherein the object of obedience is someone other than God. Hence the purpose of a believer's fighting is that this fitnah should cease and obedience should be consecrated to God alone.

An investigation of the usages of the word din (which occurs in this verse) reveals that the core of its meaning is obedience. In its technical usage, the word refers to that system of life which arises as a result of a person recognizing someone as his Lord and Sovereign and committing himself to following his commands and ordinances. This explanation of the word din makes it quite clear that when some human beings establish their godhead and absolute dominance over others, this state of affairs is one of fitnah. Islam seeks to put an end to this and replace it by a state of affairs in which people live in obedience to the laws of God alone.

. What is meant here by 'desisting' is not the abandonment of unbelief and polytheism on the part of the unbelievers but rather their desistance from active hostility to the religion enjoined by God. The unbeliever, the polytheist, the atheist, has each been, empowered to hold on to his beliefs and to worship who and whatever he wishes. In order to deliver these people from their error, Muslims are required to counsel them and tell them where their good lies. But Muslims ought not to try to achieve this purpose by resorting to force. At the same time, these misguided people have no right to either enforce the false laws of their own contriving instead of the laws of God or to drive the people of God to bondage of others than God. In order to put an end to this fitnah, both persuasion and force be used, whenever and to the extent to which each of the two is needed, and a true believer will not rest until the unbelievers give up this fitnah.

The statement that hostility is meant only against wrong-doers seems to imply that when the true system of life replaces the false one, ordinary people should be granted a general amnesty. At the same time, however, it would be justifiable to punish those who exceeded all limits in their hostility to the Truth, at the time when they held the reins of power. Yet in dealing with such people, it becomes the true believers, after they have one final victory, to adopt a general attitude of forgiveness and tolerance towards the vanquished rather than subject them to revenge for the wrongs they committed in the past. Those criminals whose records were exceptionally bad could, however, be punished. The Prophet (peace be on him), availed himself of this permission in respect of some notorious enemies whose hostility had exceeded all limits, even though pardon and forgiveness behoved none more than him. Thus 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'avt and Nadr b. Harith from among the captives of the Battle of Badr were put to death and when a general amnesty, was proclaimed after the conquest of Makka four out of seventeen persons were executed. (See Ibn Hisham, vol. 1, p. 644 and vol. 2, pp. 409 ff. - Ed.) These acts were based on the permission to put to the sword those who have been conspicuously ruthless in their hostility to Islam and the Muslims.

The words 'those who disbelieve' here refer to the Jews whom Jesus had invited to believe, and who had refused that invitation. The expression: 'your followers', if it denotes the true followers of Jesus, can only mean Muslims. Should 'followers' signify all those who profess allegiance to Jesus, it would include both Christians and Muslims.

The point stressed here is that fighting in the cause of God cannot be conducted by people engrossed in the pursuit of worldly benefits. This is the task of those who seek to please God, who have complete faith in Him and in the Hereafter, who are prepared to sacrifice all opportunities of worldly success and prosperity, and of all worldly interests, hoping thereby to win God's good pleasure. Irrespective of what happens in the present world such sacrifices will not be wasted in the Hereafter. Jihad (struggle in the cause of God) is not for those who mainly care for worldly benefits.

YEA! PLEASE GRAB SOME POP-CORN AND STUDY, lol.


Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find
them, and turn them out from where they have
turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is
worse than killing...
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and
merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah
[disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah]
and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let
there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun
(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation
is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190)
refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who
fight you" leading some to believe that the entire
passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims
are defending their homes and families. The
historical context of this passage is not defensive
warfare, however, 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). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer
resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The
use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim
translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words
for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a
variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The
word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the
disorder that results from unbelief or temptation.
This is certainly what is meant in this context since
the violence is explicitly commissioned "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 into raiding 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,
who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims
are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death
and destruction for the cause of Allah. This 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 of the believers
who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by
injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive
hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth
and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those
who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their
lives above those who sit (at home).Unto each, Allah
has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has
preferred those who strive hard and fight, above
those who sit (at home) by a huge 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 this
Arabic word (mujahiduna) 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, which would not make sense if it
meant an internal struggle).


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."


Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no
more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for
Allah" Some translations interpret "fitna" as
"persecution", but the traditional understanding of
this word is not supported by the historical context
(See notes for 2:193). The Meccans were simply
refusing Muhammad access to their city during Haj.
Other Muslims were allowed to travel there - just not
as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared
war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were
also acting in defense of their religion, since it was
Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and
establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence
the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion
is only for Allah", meaning that the true justification
of violence was the unbelief of the opposition.
According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324)
Muhammad further explains that "Allah must have
no rivals."


Quran (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war,
deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are
behind them, that haply they may remember."


Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should
have prisoners of war until he had made a great
slaughter in the land..."


Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve
suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo!
they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou
canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that
thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your
enemy."


Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to
fight..."


Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have
passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you
find them, and take them captive and besiege them
and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they
repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate,
leave their way free to them." According to this
verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim
violence is to convert to Islam (prayer (salat) and the
poor tax (zakat) are among the religion's Five Pillars).
This popular claim that the Quran only inspires
violence within the context of self-defense is
seriously challenged by this passage as well, since
the Muslims to whom it was written were obviously
not under attack. Had they been, then there would
have been no waiting period (earlier verses make it a
duty for Muslims to fight in self-defense, even during
the sacred months). The historical context is Mecca
after the idolaters were subjugated by Muhammad
and posed no threat. Once the Muslims had power,
they violently evicted those unbelievers who would
not convert.


Quran (9:14) - "Fight against them so that Allah will
punish them by your hands and disgrace them and
give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a
believing people." Humiliating and hurting non-
believers not only has the blessing of Allah, but it is
ordered as a means of carrying out his punishment
and even "healing" the hearts of Muslims.


Quran (9:20) - "Those who believe, and have left their
homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in
Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's
sight. These are they who are triumphant." The
Arabic word interpreted as "striving" in this verse is
the same root as "Jihad". The context is obviously
holy war.


Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah
nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath
been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are)
of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya
with willing submission, and feel themselves
subdued." "People of the Book" refers to Christians
and Jews. According to this verse, they are to be
violently subjugated, with the sole justification being
their religious status. Verse 9:33 tells Muslims that
Allah has charted them to make Islam "superior over
all religions." This chapter was one of the final
"revelations" from Allah and it set in motion the
tenacious military expansion, in which Muhammad's
companions managed to conquer two-thirds of the
Christian world in the next 100 years. Islam is
intended to dominate all other people and faiths.


Quran (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of
Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"


Quran (9:38-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the
matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth
in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place."
This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that
they will be punished with Hell.


Quran (9:41) - "Go forth, light-armed and heavy-
armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in
the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew."
See also the verse that follows ( 9:42) - "If there had
been immediate gain (in sight), and the journey
easy, they would (all) without doubt have followed
thee, but the distance was long, (and weighed) on
them" This contradicts the myth that Muslims are to fight only in self-defense, since the wording implies that battle will be waged a long distance from home (in another country and on Christian soil, in this case, according to the historians).


Quran (9:73) - "O Prophet! strive hard against the
unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to
them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the
destination." Dehumanizing those who reject Islam,
by reminding Muslims that unbelievers are merely
firewood for Hell, makes it easier to justify slaughter.
It also explains why today's devout Muslims have
little regard for those outside the faith.


Quran (9:88) - "But the Messenger, and those who
believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth
and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper."

Quran (9:111) - "Allah hath purchased of the
believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Quran: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme." How does the Quran define a true believer?


Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of
the unbelievers who are near to you and let them
find in you hardness."


Quran (17:16) - "And when We wish to destroy a
town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction." Note that the crime is moral transgression, and the punishment is "utter
destruction." (Before ordering the 9/11 attacks,
Osama bin Laden first issued Americans an invitation to Islam).


Quran (18:65-81) - This parable lays the theological
groundwork for honor killings, in which a family
member is murdered because they brought shame to the family, either through apostasy or perceived
moral indiscretion. The story (which is not found in
any Jewish or Christian source) tells of Moses
encountering a man with "special knowledge" who
does things which don't seem to make sense on the
surface, but are then justified according to later
explanation. One such action is to murder a youth for no apparent reason (74). However, the wise man
later explains that it was feared that the boy would
"grieve" his parents by "disobedience and
ingratitude." He was killed so that Allah could
provide them a 'better' son. (Note: This is one reason why honor killing is sanctioned by Sharia. Reliance of the Traveler (Umdat al-Saliq) says that punishment for murder is not applicable when a parent or grandparent kills their offspring (o.1.1-2).)


Quran (21:44) - "We gave the good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them; See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?"


Quran (25:52) - "Therefore listen not to the
Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness..." "Strive against" is Jihad - obviously not in the personal context. It's also significant to point out that this is a Meccan verse.


Quran (33:60-62) - "If the hypocrites, and those in
whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the
city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbors in it
but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized
wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter."
This passage sanctions the slaughter (rendered
"merciless" and "horrible murder" in other
translations) against three groups: Hypocrites
(Muslims who refuse to "fight in the way of
Allah" ( 3:167) and hence don't act as Muslims
should), those with "diseased hearts" (which include Jews and Christians 5:51-52), and "alarmists" or "agitators who include those who merely speak out against Islam, according to Muhammad's biographers. It is worth noting that the victims are to be sought out by Muslims, which is what today's terrorists do. If this passage is meant merely to apply to the city of Medina, then it is unclear why it is included in Allah's eternal word to Muslim generations.


Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow
falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth
from their Lord... So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost."
Those who reject Allah are to be killed in Jihad. The
wounded are to be held captive for ransom. The only reason Allah doesn't do the dirty work himself is to to test the faithfulness of Muslims. Those who kill pass the test.


Quran (47:35) - "Be not weary and faint-hearted,
crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost
(Shakir: "have the upper hand"wink for Allah is with
you,"


Quran (48:17) - "There is no blame for the blind, nor
is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso
obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him
enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and
whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a
painful doom." Contemporary apologists sometimes
claim that Jihad means 'spiritual struggle.' Is so, then why are the blind, lame and sick exempted? This verse also says that those who do not fight will suffer torment in hell.


Quran (48:29) - "Muhammad is the messenger of
Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves"
Islam is not about treating everyone equally. This
verse tells Muslims that there are two very distinct
standards that are applied based on religious status.
Also the word used for 'hard' or 'ruthless' in this
verse shares the same root as the word translated as 'painful' or severe' to describe Hell in over 25 other verses including 65:10, 40:46 and 50:26..


Quran (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in
His way" Religion of Peace, indeed! The verse
explicitly refers to "battle array" meaning that it is
speaking of physical conflict. This is followed by
( 61:9): "He it is who has sent His Messenger
(Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions
even though the infidels may resist." (See next
verse, below). Infidels who resist Islamic rule are to
be fought.


Quran (61:10-12) - "O You who believe! Shall I guide
you to a commerce that will save you from a painful
torment. That you believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! (If you do so) He will forgive you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow, and pleasant dwelling in Gardens of'Adn- Eternity ['Adn(Edn) Paradise], that is indeed the great success." This verse refers to physical battle in order to make Islam victorious over other religions (see above). It uses the Arabic word, Jihad.


Quran (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the
disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with
them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's
end." The root word of "Jihad" is used again here. The context is clearly holy war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include "hypocrites" - those who call themselves Muslims but do not act as such.
