Examining Quran 9:29 – Islam Sanction The Killing Of Christians & Jews? by truthman2013: 8:27pm On Aug 19, 2015
“ Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled. – Qur’an 9:29

Anti-Muslim bigots happen to always come across this verse, and show it to people who know little about Islam. They give the impression that Islam sanctions the killing of Jews and Christians at all times. It is important to always get info from the most authentic sources i.e., by reading and collecting information from Muslims, rather than Islamophobes, since their job is to bash Islam and Muslims. For example, would someone go to a Nazi to learn about Judaism – or would you do so to a better source such as a Jew who practices their religion on a daily basis? The answer would be obvious, is that
you would learn from a Jewish person about Judaism. Upon commenting on this particular verse, one of the staunchest critics of Islam, Reverend E.M. Wherry, writes:

Vers. 29-128 refer to the events connected with the expedition to Tabuq, which occurred in Rajab of A.H. 9 . They were not, however, all enunciated at one time, but partly before the expedition, partly on the march, and partly after the return. Vers. 29-35 may be referred to the time of arrival at Tabuq, when the Christian prince, John of Aylah, tendered his submission to Muhammad, paying tribute (Jazya). - A comprehensive commentary on the Quran – By Reverend E. M. Wherry volume 2 page 274

When reading this passage in its historical context, it is clear that it was sent down by God to Prophet Muhammad (p) to fight against the Byzantine (Roman) empire, who mobilised troops in order to attack the Muslims. In one of our authentic early Islamic sources, ‘Sahih Muslim’, it says:

He (Hadrat ‘Umar further) said: I had a companion from the Ansar and, we used to remain in the company of the Messenger turn by turn. He remained there for a day while I remained there on the other day, and he brought me the news about the revelation and other (matter), and I brought him (the news) like this. And we discussed that the Ghassanids were shoeing the horses in order to attack us. Id y companion once attended (the Apostle). And then came to me at night and knocked at my door and called me, and I came out to him, and he said: A matter of great importance has happened. I said: What is that? Have the Ghassanids come ? He said: No, but even more serious and more significant than that: the Prophet has divorced his wives. Sahih Muslim Book 9, Hadith 3511 http://sunnah.com/muslim/18/44

From the above narration, there is clear evidence that the Muslims were informed of an impending invasion by the Ghassanids, who were part of the Byzantine Empire.Additionally, Ibn Sa’d in his book Kitab al-tabaqat al-kabir writes:

“They (narrators) saud: It (report) reached the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him, that the Romans had concentrated large forces in Syria, that Heraclius had disbursed one year’s salary to his soldiers, and that tribes of Lakhm, Judham, ‘Amilah and Ghassan had joined hands with him. They had sent their vanguards to al-Balqa. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him, summoned the people to march. He set out and informed them about the place which he intended, so that they could make necessary preparations. He sent (messengers) to Makkah and to the tribes of Arabia (asking them) to send help. This took place in the days of intense heat.” Ibn Sa’d’s Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Translated by S. Moinul Haq (New Delhi: Kitab Bhavan, 2009) Volume 2, page 203-204

Again, we see clear evidence that it was the Byzantine (Roman) empire who started this war. What does one expect the Messenger Muhammad (p) to do? Sit back and do nothing while Muslim lives were going to get slaughtered? Of course, he had done the right thing, assembling the Muslim community to go out and fight against these aggressors. In another early Islamic source, Kitab Futuh Al-Buldan, written by the eminent 9th Century Imam, Aḥmad Ibn Yaḥyā al-Balādhurī, the author says:

“Tabuk make terms. When in the year 9 AH the Prophet marched to Tabuk in Syria for the invasion of those of the Greeks, Amilah, Lakhm, Judham and others whom he learnt had assembled against him, he met no resistance. So he spent a few days in Tabuk, whose inhabitants made terms with him agreeing to pay poll-tax.” The origins of the Islamic State, being a translation from the Arabic accompanied with annotations Geographic and historic notes of the Kitab Futuh Al-Buldan of al-Imam Abu’l Abbas Ahmad Ibn Jabir Al Baladhuri, By Phillip Khurti Hitti, PHD, [1916], volume 1, page 92

So far, as we have read early Islamic sources, when one reads the passage (9:29) in its historical perspective, it is a fact that the Byzantines (Romans) were the ones who intended to wage war with the Muslims. Saifur Rahman al-Mubarakpuri in his work of Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) writes:

The invasion and the conquest of Makkah was considered a decisive one between the truth and the error. As a result of which, the Arabs had no more doubt in Muhammad’s mission. Thus we see that things went contrary to the pagans’ expectations. People started to embrace Islam, the religion of Allah in great numbers. This is manifested clearly in the chapter. The delegations, of this book. It can also be deduced out of the enormous number of people who shared in the Hajjatul-Wad⦣145; (Farewell Pilgrimage). All domestic troubles came to an end. Muslims, eventually felt at ease and started setting up the teachings of All Laws and intensifying the Call to Islam.

THE UNDERLYING REASONS

The Byzantine power, which was considered the greatest military force on earth at that time, showed an unjustifiable opposition towards Muslims. As we have already mentioned, theircopposition started at killing the ambassador of the Messenger of Allah [pbuh], Al-Harith bin, Umair Al-Azdi, by Sharhabeel bin, Amr Al-Ghassani. The ambassador was then carrying a message from the Prophet [pbuh] to the ruler of Busra. We have also stated that the Prophet consequently dispatched a brigade under the command of Zaid bin Haritha,who had a fierce fight against the Byzantines at Mu’tah.Although Muslim forces could not have revenge on those haughty over proud tyrants, the confrontation itself had a great impression on the Arabs, all over Arabia.
Caesar, who could neither ignore the great benefit that Mu’tah Battle had brought to Muslims, nor could he disregard the Arab tribes’ expectations of independence, and their hopes of getting free from his influence and reign, nor he could ignore their alliance to the Muslims, realizing all that, Caesar was aware of the progressive danger threatening his borders, especially Ash-Sham-fronts which were neighbouring Arab lands. So he concluded that demolition of the Muslims power had grown an urgent necessity . This decision of his should, in his opinion, be achieved before the Muslims become too powerful to conquer, and raise troubles and unrest in the adjacent Arab territories. To meet these exigencies, C aesar mustered a huge army of the Byzantines and pro-Roman Ghassanide tribes to launch a decisive bloody battle against the Muslims.

From that historical point, Quran 9:29 was a war of self-defence. If the Muslims had not done nothing and sat back, the Muslim community as a whole would have been wiped off in Arabia, by the Byzantine (Romans) and other enemies.

Dr. Mustafa As-Sibaa’ie, ‘The life of Prophet Muhammad
highlights and lessons’ writes,

The Battle of Tabook
This is also known as Ghazwat al-Usrah (the campaign of hardship). It took place in Rajab 9 AH. Tabook is a place between Wadi al-Qura, in the Hijaz, and Syria. The reason for this battle was that the Byzantines had gathered a huge number of troops in Syria, including the tribes of Lakhm,Judhaam, ‘Aamilah and Ghassan, who were Christianized
Arabs. They did so because Heraclius intended to attack Madeenah and put an end to the state that was developing in the Arabian Peninsula , as the news of this state and its victories had filled Heraclius with fear and terror.
So the Prophet ordered the people to prepare for a campaign. That was a time of great and intense heat. The sincere Muslims responded willingly, but three of them remained behind, even though their faith was sincere. The Prophet commanded the rich to provide equipment for the army, and they brought a huge amount of money. Abu Bakr brought all of his wealth, which was forty thousand dirhams. Umar brought half of his wealth, and Uthmaan gave a large amount in charity that day equiped one-third of the army. The prophet prayed for him and said, “Nothing that Uthmaan does can harm him after this day.” A number of the poor Sahaabah came to him who had no animals to ride, and the Messenger said, “ I do not have anything that I can give you to ride.” They turned away with tears streaming dwn their faces because they did not have the means to prepare themselves to join the army. Eighty-odd of the hypocrites stayed behind, and a number of Bedouin gave invalied excuses, but the Prophet accepted them.

The Messenger of Allah set out with the people. There were thirty thousand warriors with him, and ten thousand horses. This was the greatest army that the Arabs had seen at that time. He marched until he reached Tabook, where he stayed for twenty days, during which he did not engage in any fighting.

The life of Prophet Muhammad highlights and lessons by Dr. Mustafa As-Sibaa’ie page 116 – 117

Scholar Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi

What was the genesis of this expedition? It is related that the Apostle got reports of Byzantine forces converging in the northern frontiers of Arabia with the intention of mounting an attack on the Muslims . Ibn Sa’ad and Waqidi had reported that the Apostle was informed by the Nabataeans that Heraclius was intending to come upon him and that his advance party had already reached Balqa. This was after storing on year’s provision for his army and drafting the pro-Byzantine tribes of Lakhm, Jodham, Amla and Ghassan under his banner. Muhammad Rasulullah The Apostle of Mercy By S. Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, page 320

Professor John Andrew Morrow

….. the early Muslims had to fend of all sorts of aggressive assaults of the unbelievers from the Quraysh and their allies among the bedioun and Jewish tribes , in such well-known Battles as those of Uhud, Al-Khandaq, Mu’tah and Tabuk

The op is a liar (fake truthman)

Surah 9:29: Fight those who believe
not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor
hold forbidden which hath been
forbidden by Allah and His
Messenger, nor acknowledge the
religion of Truth, EVEN IF THEY ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK , until they pay
the Jizya with willing submission
and feel themselves subdued. (Yusuf
Ali)

According to the lie being told by the op , he say the command was to fight against the Byzantine (Roman) empire. okay!! who are "THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK " know doubt the people of the book are the Jews and christians. The verse say, “fight those who believe not in Allah.” those who believe not in Allah are the Jews and christians including the Roman, but the op interpretation is very very wrong
, are the Roman not christians? He interprete is as if the Roman are not christians, confused op.

It also commands Muslims to" fight all those who do not hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden for Allah and his Messenger.” This means that if you do not forbid for yourselves the things which Allah forbids, muslims has the right to fight and killed you.

And the verse say , if you do not aknowleged islam as the "RELIGION OF TRUTH" muslims has the right to fight you.

To understand the purposes of this verse, we need to quote from 28 to 29:

Surah 9:28-29: O ye who believe!
Truly the PAGAN ARE UNCLEAN; SO LET
THEM NOT , AFTER tHIS YEAR of theirs,
approach the SACRED MOSQUE. AND IF YE FEAR POVERTY , soon will Allah
enrich you , if He wills, out of His
bounty, for Allah is All-knowing, All-
wise. 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.

Yes, It is all about money. Muslims were commanded to fight the Jews and Christians “until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” Allah’s commandment to fight the Jews and Christians is not because they were attacking or even planning to attack the Muslims but because the Muslims FEARED POVERTY.

A new situation developed, resulting in the sudden loss of trade for Muslims. This was because Allah now prohibited the polytheist(PAGAN) from entering the sacred Mosque in Mecca.Well, what was Allah’s solution for the financial reversal of the Muslims? Yes! Attack the Jews and Christians and let them compensate for the loss of trade. This is made clear in Surah 9:28 (the verse preceding Surah 9:29).

The Tafsir by Ibn Kathir clarifies the Historical Context for Allah’s purpose in revealing Surah 9:28-29. Ibn Kathir, The Battles of the Prophet, pp. 183-4:

Allah, Most High, ordered the
believers to prohibit the
disbelievers from entering or
coming near the sacred Mosque. On
that, Quraish thought that this
would reduce their profits from
trade. Therefore, Allah, Most High,
compensated them and ordered
them to fight the people of the
Book until they embrace Islam or
pay the Jizyah. Allah says, “O ye who
believe! Truly the pagans are
unclean; so let them not, after this
year of theirs, approach the sacred
Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon
will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out
of His bounty, for Allah is All-
Knowing, All-Wise. 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, from among the
People of the Book, until they pay the
Jizyah with willing submission, and
feel themselves subdued.” (Surah
9:28-29) Therefore, the Messenger of
Allah decided to fight the Romans in
order to call them to Islam.

“Therefore, the Messenger of Allah
decided to fight the Romans .” The
Romans were Christians. “The Messenger of Allah decided to fight
the Romans” not because the Romans
were attacking or planning to attack the
Muslims but because of Allah’s command in Surah 9:29. It was a unilateral attack by the Muslims because of Allah’s solution for their impending poverty.
Should any Christian convert to Islam out of fear, then he will have to now pay
Zakat like the rest of the Muslims.
Should he refuse to convert, then he has to pay a hefty sum of his wealth as
compensation for his life. And this is not
a one-off thing. The monetary compensation has to be paid on a
regular basis as long as he is under the
Muslim yoke. This form of protection
money that Allah shamelessly extorts
from Christians is known as Jizya. Any
Christian who fails to pay will be put to
death. It is win, win situation for Islam.
Allah knew that most Christians would
rather pay the Jizya tax than convert to
Islam. Thus, like a common gangster,
Allah promised to enrich the Muslims
through extortion. Allah is an extortioner.

You won't just stop deluding yourself. First you admit that it was a battle between against christians and Jews who waged war again the muslims of that time. Very good on your part. At least this thread has been justified.

Now, the context of the Surah is talking about 2 predicament the muslims faced at that time. First, the PAGAN and then the ROMAN EMPIRE. Again as the literate critic of Islam unlike you madr us under in his book quoted out the verse in talk " Vers. 29-128 refer to the events connected with the expedition to Tabuq, which occurred in Rajab of A.H.
9 . They were not, however, all enunciated at one time,
but partly before the expedition, partly on the march,

Muhammad in a hadith says that god commanded him to go and fight until the world accepts Islam. This hadith is found in both Bukhari and Muslim. This outranks any commentary from any scholar.
"Riyadh us Saliheen" of Imam An Nawawi(Rahimahullah) in the 13th Century explained what this hadith meant and how Muslims interpreted it, the hadith in question is this;

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “I have been commanded to fight against the people till they testify La ilaha illAllah (There is no true god except Allah) and that Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) is His slave and Messenger, and to establish As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and to pay Zakat; and if they do this, then their blood and property are secured except by the rights of Islam, and their accountability is left to Allah.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary Of Imam An Nawawi(Rahimahullah): [size=15pt]"[/size]This Hadith has already appeared before. Here the word “An-Nas” translated `the people’ in the Hadith stands for those who associate others with Allah in worship. The people of the Book are not included among them. “Haqqul-Islam” translated here as “the rights of Islam” denotes legal castigation, etc. That is, the punishments which are given for crimes like fornication, murder, etc.

“Their accountability is left to Allah” means what is hidden in their hearts is left to Allah or the crimes which go undetected by the authorities concerned are in the Purview of Allah, Who will decide their case in the Hereafter.[size=15pt]"[/size]


From all indications he(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) was referring to the pagans of Mecca before he(sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) conquered them and they were asked to accept Islam. Even when Prophet Muhammad dispatched emissaries to lands of Non-Muslims, here's is the manner he told them(emissaries) to act:

Mu`adh (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) sent me as a governor to Yemen and (at the time of departure) he instructed me thus: “You will go to people of the Scripture (i.e., the Jews and the Christians). First of all invite them to testify that La ilaha ill Allah (There is no true god except Allah) and that Muhammad (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) is His slave and Messenger; and if they accept this, then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five Salat (prayers) during the day and night; and if they accept it, then tell them that Allah has made the payment of Zakat obligatory upon them. It should be collected from their rich and distributed among their poor; and if they agree to it, don’t take (as a share of Zakat) the best of their properties. Beware of the supplications of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah.”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

It's amazing how it takes so much stories from OUTSIDE the Quran to explain just a simple portion of the Quran!

It shows the extent to which some of these Muslims guys will go to try and give any meaning to any portion of the Quran. 

truthman2013 (or is it lieman2013) would want us to believe that the verse in question 
"was sent down by God to Prophet Muhammad (p) to fight against the Byzantine (Roman) empire, who mobilised troops in order to attack the Muslims."


And to justify this truthman2013 (lieman2013?) resorts to: 
- so-called 'authentic early Islamic sources'
- other writings that align somewhat with his aim; interpreting that portion of the Quran the way he wants. 

Even when the references had a lot of suppositions the 'lieman' would want us to accept them as truth. 

Relevant issues:
1. Now, if all that truthman2013 (lieman 2013?) claims were so, why didn't Allah simply say so? 
2. Why did it have to take SUBSEQUENT writings to explain what Allah was saying in that portion of the Quran? 
3. Were these writers 'inspired' in addition to Mohammed or can we also regard them as 'prophets' sent by Allah to 'fill up' what Mohammed didn't include in the Quran? 
4. If like truthman2013 says:
"Quran 9:29 was a war of self-defence."
why did the Quran not simply say "when they fight you, fight back", even if specific names were not mentioned? After all, self-defense means an act of defending oneself. 

BUT what does the verse say? 
Let's see it again:
“ Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth .........."

It says "Fight those who do not believe..."
It did not say: "Fight back (in self-defense) those who attack (in the sense of initiating a fight against) you. It did not say: "Fight those who are about to invade you or Fight those who are planning an attack against you" 
There's no inkling of self-defense here in this verse; none!

So all can see that truthman2013 is actually trying to play a smart one on as many as may be gullible. 
He is trying to sell us a lie.

truthman2013:


You won't just stop deluding yourself. First you admit that it was a battle between against christians and Jews who waged war again the muslims of that time. Very good on your part. At least this thread has been justified.

Now, the context of the Surah is talking about 2 predicament the muslims faced at that time. First, the PAGAN and then the ROMAN EMPIRE. Again as the literate critic of Islam unlike you madr us under in his book quoted out the verse in talk " Vers. 29-128 refer to the events connected with the expedition to Tabuq, which occurred in Rajab of A.H.
9 . They were not, however, all enunciated at one time,
but partly before the expedition, partly on the march,
and partly after the return. Vers. 29-35 may be referred
to the time of arrival at Tabuq, when the Christian
prince, John of Aylah, tendered his submission to
Muhammad, paying tribute (Jazya)."
Reverend E. M. Wherry volume 2 page 274.

The Treaty PAGAN broke are refered to in the preceeding verses and in some later verse.

Open your eyes please.

truthman..
fight does who believe not in Allah is a self defence command ? The verse say fight those who do not hold that which is forbidden by Allah, this does not look like self defence was.

It is all about money. The Tafsir by Ibn
Kathir clarifies the Historical Context
for Allah’s purpose in revealing Surah
9:28-29. Ibn Kathir, The Battles of the Prophet, pp. 183-4:
Allah, Most High, ordered the
believers to prohibit the
disbelievers from entering or
coming near the sacred Mosque. On
that, Quraish thought that this
would REDUCE THEIR PROFITS FROM
TRADE. Therefore, Allah, Most High,
COMPENSATE THEM and ordered
them to fight the people of the
Book until they embrace Islam or
PAY THE JIZYAH ....

Verse 28 say:
O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs,approach the Sacred Mosque. AND IF YE FEAR POVERTY , SOON WILL Allah ENRICH YOU , if He wills, out of His bounty, for Allah is All-knowing, All-
wise.

And how does Allah enrich them ? By paying the jizya tax. but here you say the jizya was a tribute to muhammed meaning Allah failed to enriched the muslims ?today the Isis are doing this in Iraq and Syria. All the none muslims must pay tax just to enrich the muslims.
Re: Examining Quran 9:29 – Islam Sanction The Killing Of Christians & Jews? by proo212(m): 8:00am On Aug 20, 2015
From Tafsir Al-Jalalayn


9:28
{ يٰأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوۤاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ إِن شَآءَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ }

O you who believe, the idolaters are indeed unclean, [they are] filth, on account of their inner vileness, so do not let them come near the Sacred Mosque, that is, let them not enter the Sanctuary, after this year of theirs, year 9 of the Hijra. If you fear impoverishment, poverty, as a result of the cessation of their commerce with you, God will surely enrich you from His bounty, if He will: and He indeed enriched them through conquests and [the imposition of] the jizya. God is Knowing, Wise.

9:29
{ قَاتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلاَ بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلآخِرِ وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلاَ يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلْحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلْكِتَابَ حَتَّىٰ يُعْطُواْ ٱلْجِزْيَةَ عَن يَدٍ وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ }

Fight those who do not believe in God, nor in the Last Day, for, otherwise, they would have believed in the Prophet (s), and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, such as wine, nor do they practise the religion of truth, the firm one, the one that abrogated other religions, namely, the religion of Islam — from among of those who (min, ‘from’, explains [the previous] alladhīna, ‘those who’) have been given the Scripture, namely, the Jews and the Christians, until they pay the jizya tribute, the annual tax imposed them, readily (‘an yadin is a circumstantial qualifier, meaning, ‘compliantly’, or ‘by their own hands’, not delegating it [to others to pay]), being subdued, [being made] submissive and compliant to the authority of Islam.

Suprisingly Al-Jalalayn agrees with Ibn Kathir....Hehehe, the Bible says let every matter be established by 2 or 3 witnesses Deut 19:15.

Some people are obviously trying to be economical with the truth

Quote from Demmzy15
Mr. Man no one is forcing you to accept, if you like accept, if you like don't. That's your cup of fura!

Why should I accept obvious dissimulation when its a matter of life and death or subjugation like we see happening to the Copts, Assyrians and the Syriac and other Christians in Muslim majority countries?

Just to emphasize the point...
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24)

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387)

Even though the Copts were persecuted under the Byzantine Empire I know that doesn't matter to you. Muslims were not at war with the Copts or Assyrians but with the Byzantine Empire who wanted to wipe Islam. This lands were controlled by the Byzantines and therefore overran by Muslims. What you should know is that; Muslims never forced them to accept to Islam but they did willingly. If I may ask, what's happening to Christians in Egypt(Copts), Palestine(Assyrians and Catholic), Iraq, Lebanon as you try and emphasis in your post?! undecided

Just to emphasize the point...

I explained this point from Riyadh us Saliheen of Imam An Nawawi(Rahimahullah):[size=15pt]"[/size]This Hadith has already appeared before. Here the word “An-Nas” translated `the people’ in the Hadith stands for those who associate others with Allah in worship. The people of the Book(Jews and Christians) are not included among them. “Haqqul-Islam” translated here as “the rights of Islam” denotes legal castigation, etc. That is, the punishments which are given for crimes like fornication, murder, etc.

“Their accountability is left to Allah” means what is hidden in their hearts is left to Allah or the crimes which go undetected by the authorities concerned are in the Purview of Allah, Who will decide their case in the Hereafter.[size=15pt]"[/size]

proo212 you speak of Tafsir Ibn Kathir as if it supports you, here's what it states:

Allah commands His believing servants, who are pure in religion and person, to expel the idolators who are filthy in the religious sense, from Al-Masjid Al-Haram. After the revelation of this Ayah, idolators were no longer allowed to go near the Masjid. This Ayah was revealed in the ninth year of Hijrah. The Messenger of Allah sent `Ali in the company of Abu Bakr that year to publicize to the idolators that no Mushrik will be allowed to perform Hajj after that year, nor a naked person allowed to perform Tawaf around the House. Allah completed this decree, made it a legislative ruling, as well as, a fact of reality. `Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Jabir bin `Abdullah commented on the Ayah,
﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـذَا﴾
(O you who believe! Verily, the Mushrikin are impure. So let them not come near Al-Masjid Al-Haram after this year) "Unless it was a servant or one of the people of Dhimmah(Non-Muslims living under Muslim rule).'' Imam Abu `Amr Al-Awza'i said, "Umar bin `Abdul-`Aziz wrote (to his governors) to prevent Jews and Christians from entering the Masjids of Muslims, and he followed his order with Allah's statement,
﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ﴾
(Verily, the Mushrikin are impure.) `Ata' said, "All of the Sacred Area ﴿the Haram﴾ is considered a Masjid, for Allah said,
﴿فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـذَا﴾
(So let them not come near Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah) after this year.)'' This Ayah indicates that idolators are impure and that the believers are pure. In the Sahih is the following,
«الْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يَنْجُس»
(The believer does not become impure.) Allah said,
﴿وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(and if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you, out of His bounty.) Muhammad bin Ishaq commented, "The people said, `Our markets will be closed, our commerce disrupted, and what we earned will vanish.' So Allah revealed this verse,
﴿وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(and if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you, out of His bounty), from other resources,
﴿إِن شَآءَ﴾
(if He wills), until,
﴿وَهُمْ صَـغِرُونَ﴾
(. ..and feel themselves subdued.) This Ayah means, `this will be your compensation for the closed markets that you feared would result.' Therefore, Allah compensated them for the losses they incurred because they severed ties with idolators, by the Jizyah they earned from the People of the Book.'' Similar statements were reported from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak and others. Allah said,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ﴾
(Surely, Allah is All-Knowing), in what benefits you,
﴿حَكِيمٌ﴾
(All-Wise), in His orders and prohibitions, for He is All-Perfect in His actions and statements, All-Just in His creations and decisions, Blessed and Hallowed be He. This is why Allah compensated Muslims for their losses by the amount of Jizyah that they took from the people of Dhimmah.


Now this is the tafsir of 9:28, the points were explained well by Ibn Kathir(Rahimahullah), now let's see 9:29:

Therefore, when People of the Scriptures disbelieved in Muhammad , they had no beneficial faith in any Messenger or what the Messengers brought. Rather, they followed their religions because this conformed with their ideas, lusts and the ways of their forefathers, not because they are Allah's Law and religion. Had they been true believers in their religions, that faith would have directed them to believe in Muhammad , because all Prophets gave the good news of Muhammad's advent and commanded them to obey and follow him. Yet when he was sent, they disbelieved in him, even though he is the mightiest of all Messengers. Therefore, they do not follow the religion of earlier Prophets because these religions came from Allah, but because these suit their desires and lusts. Therefore, their claimed faith in an earlier Prophet will not benefit them because they disbelieved in the master, the mightiest, the last and most perfect of all Prophets . Hence Allah's statement,
﴿قَـتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ بِالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلاَ يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ﴾
(Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture,) This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to [size=18pt]fight the Romans[/size] and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces, and he collected an army of thirty thousand. Some people from Al-Madinah and some hypocrites, in and around it, lagged behind, for that year was a year of drought and intense heat. The Messenger of Allah marched, heading towards Ash-Sham to fight the Romans until he reached Tabuk, where he set camp for about twenty days next to its water resources. He then prayed to Allah for a decision and went back to Al-Madinah because it was a hard year and the people were weak, as we will mention, Allah willing.


Hope you can see the circumstances in which this verse was revealed, if indeed the war was all about offensive, the Muslims wouldn't have camped. They would have charged into the Byzantine Empire, but rather they waited for them. When the Byzantines didn't show up, the Muslims left in peace. So Mr. Man you're not saying anything new!

Cc malvisguy212 this what Tafsir Ibn Kathir states rather than the nonsense you wrote up there. I was wondering, how could a whole tafsir of Ibn Kathir be as short as this nonsense:
malvisguy212:
[s]fight does who believe not in Allah is a self defence command ? The verse say fight those who do not hold that which is forbidden by Allah, this does not look like self defence was.
It is all about money. The Tafsir by Ibn

did you mean to say , the command given in quran 9:29 , the christians and Jews are not included ?
Like I always say, you don't read; what you're presenting is not for 9:29 but for the hadith your friend quote (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24) in which the Prophet Muhammad said "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah...." and I explained that this hadith doesn't refer to Jews and Christians rather idolaters or pagans. I and truthman2013 had already explained what Qur'an 9:28-29 mean!

And the actual event of a collector of Islamic jizya
visiting a Hindu neighborhood was shameful for the
kinds of things he engaged in. Qadi Mughith ad-Din told
Sultan Ala’ud-Dîn Khaljî: “ If the Jizyah-collector asks a
Hindu for silver, the latter should offer gold in all
humility. If the collector wishes to spit into his mouth,
the latter should open his mouth without demur, so as
to enable the former to spit into it .” [from Diyâ’ ad-Dîn
Baranî, Tarîkh-i Firozshâhi, Sayyid Athar Abbas Rizwi,
selected Hindi tr., in his Khaljî-Kalîna Bhârata, Aligarh,
1955, p. 70]

Demmzy15:
proo212 you speak of Tafsir Ibn Kathir as if it supports you, here's what it states:

Allah commands His believing servants, who are pure in religion and person, to expel the idolators who are filthy in the religious sense, from Al-Masjid Al-Haram. After the revelation of this Ayah, idolators were no longer allowed to go near the Masjid. This Ayah was revealed in the ninth year of Hijrah. The Messenger of Allah sent `Ali in the company of Abu Bakr that year to publicize to the idolators that no Mushrik will be allowed to perform Hajj after that year, nor a naked person allowed to perform Tawaf around the House. Allah completed this decree, made it a legislative ruling, as well as, a fact of reality. `Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Jabir bin `Abdullah commented on the Ayah,
﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـذَا﴾
(O you who believe! Verily, the Mushrikin are impure. So let them not come near Al-Masjid Al-Haram after this year) "Unless it was a servant or one of the people of Dhimmah(Non-Muslims living under Muslim rule).'' Imam Abu `Amr Al-Awza'i said, "Umar bin `Abdul-`Aziz wrote (to his governors) to prevent Jews and Christians from entering the Masjids of Muslims, and he followed his order with Allah's statement,
﴿إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ﴾
(Verily, the Mushrikin are impure.) `Ata' said, "All of the Sacred Area ﴿the Haram﴾ is considered a Masjid, for Allah said,
﴿فَلاَ يَقْرَبُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـذَا﴾
(So let them not come near Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah) after this year.)'' This Ayah indicates that idolators are impure and that the believers are pure. In the Sahih is the following,
«الْمُؤْمِنُ لَا يَنْجُس»
(The believer does not become impure.) Allah said,
﴿وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(and if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you, out of His bounty.) Muhammad bin Ishaq commented, "The people said, `Our markets will be closed, our commerce disrupted, and what we earned will vanish.' So Allah revealed this verse,
﴿وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(and if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you, out of His bounty), from other resources,
﴿إِن شَآءَ﴾
(if He wills), until,
﴿وَهُمْ صَـغِرُونَ﴾
(. ..and feel themselves subdued.) This Ayah means, `this will be your compensation for the closed markets that you feared would result.' Therefore, Allah compensated them for the losses they incurred because they severed ties with idolators, by the Jizyah they earned from the People of the Book.'' Similar statements were reported from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak and others. Allah said,
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ﴾
(Surely, Allah is All-Knowing), in what benefits you,
﴿حَكِيمٌ﴾
(All-Wise), in His orders and prohibitions, for He is All-Perfect in His actions and statements, All-Just in His creations and decisions, Blessed and Hallowed be He. This is why Allah compensated Muslims for their losses by the amount of Jizyah that they took from the people of Dhimmah.


Now this is the tafsir of 9:28, the points were explained well by Ibn Kathir(Rahimahullah), now let's see 9:29:

Therefore, when People of the Scriptures disbelieved in Muhammad , they had no beneficial faith in any Messenger or what the Messengers brought. Rather, they followed their religions because this conformed with their ideas, lusts and the ways of their forefathers, not because they are Allah's Law and religion. Had they been true believers in their religions, that faith would have directed them to believe in Muhammad , because all Prophets gave the good news of Muhammad's advent and commanded them to obey and follow him. Yet when he was sent, they disbelieved in him, even though he is the mightiest of all Messengers. Therefore, they do not follow the religion of earlier Prophets because these religions came from Allah, but because these suit their desires and lusts. Therefore, their claimed faith in an earlier Prophet will not benefit them because they disbelieved in the master, the mightiest, the last and most perfect of all Prophets . Hence Allah's statement,
﴿قَـتِلُواْ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ بِالْيَوْمِ الاٌّخِرِ وَلاَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَلاَ يَدِينُونَ دِينَ الْحَقِّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ﴾
(Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture,) This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to [size=18pt]fight the Romans[/size] and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces, and he collected an army of thirty thousand. Some people from Al-Madinah and some hypocrites, in and around it, lagged behind, for that year was a year of drought and intense heat. The Messenger of Allah marched, heading towards Ash-Sham to fight the Romans until he reached Tabuk, where he set camp for about twenty days next to its water resources. He then prayed to Allah for a decision and went back to Al-Madinah because it was a hard year and the people were weak, as we will mention, Allah willing.


Hope you can see the circumstances in which this verse was revealed, if indeed the war was all about offensive, the Muslims wouldn't have camped. They would have charged into the Byzantine Empire, but rather they waited for them. When the Byzantines didn't show up, the Muslims left in peace. So Mr. Man you're not saying anything new!

Cc malvisguy212 this what Tafsir Ibn Kathir states rather than the nonsense you wrote up there. I was wondering, how could a whole tafsir of Ibn Kathir be as short as this nonsense:

okay, let read verse 29 :
Fight those who BELIEVE NOT IN ALLAH
nor the Last Day, nor hold that
forbidden which hath been forbidden
by Allah and His Apostle, 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.

The verse say fight those who believe not in Allah, and the verse went on to encourage the muslims to fight thoes who do not forbid what ALLAH and MUHAMMED had forbidden. Did the christians and Jews believe in muhammed ? Talkless of forbid what he forbid.

The above emphatically exhorts Muslims to conquer the following groups of people until they pay a sum of money (Jizya) as a sign of their subjection and humiliation:

1. Atheists/Agnostics (those who believe
not in God nor the Last Day). Jews and Christians (people of the Book).
2. Everyone else, whether Hindus/
Magians, Buddhists etc., since these
groups do not prohibit what Muhammad forbade nor believe in
Islam, the so-called "religion of Truth".
