सेक्युलरिज्म या इस्लामिक तुष्टिकरण

भारतीय संविधान के अनुसार यह देश सनातनी नहीं सेक्युलर देश है, विश्व का एकमात्र देश, जिसमें सनातनी (हिन्दू) बहुसंख्यक है, ऐसा देश जो सनातनियों का है, वो आज उनका ना होकर हर मत-मजहब वालों का है, यह सब हमारी चुप्पी और एक गंभीर ना दिखने वाली बिमारी की वजह से है,
जी हां !!!
एक गंभीर ना दिखने वाली बिमारी जिसका नाम है सेक्युलरिज्म !

हर मत मजहब सम्प्रदाय वालों का भाईचारा, जहाँ कोई ऊँचा निचा नहीं, भेदभाव नहीं, सब भाई- भाई की सोच से रहे, पर ऐसा कुछ है नहीं, भारत में सेक्युलरिज्म की परिभाषा बड़ी अजीब और एक मत सम्प्रदाय मात्र को खुश रखने की निति के अनुसार है

भारत में हिन्दुइज्म की बात करना अर्थात सेक्युलरिज्म को खतरा, और इस्लाम हित की बात करना सेक्युलरिज्म है
धार्मिक स्थल का उद्घाटन करने जाने पर आजाद भारत (जो सही मायनों में है नहीं) के प्रथम प्रधानमंत्री जवाहरलाल नेहरु ने हमारे राष्ट्रपति को इसलिए उदघाटन में ना जाने के लिए समझाया की इससे सेक्युलरिज्म को ख़तरा है ! अजीब बात है किसी हिन्दू धार्मिक स्थल के उद्घाटन से सेक्युलरिज्म को खतरा कैसे ? इसका जवाब और कुछ नहीं मुसलमानों की ख़ुशी को बनाये रखना है, आज तक जितनी सरकारें आई है, वे मुसलमानों को खुश रखने के लिए इस सेक्युलरिज्म को सबसे बड़ा हथियार बनाती आई है, जिसकी परिभाषा बिलकुल इसके नाम से विपरीत और निराली है,

और हिन्दू भी इन शिकारियों के जाल में फसता जा रहा है, हिन्दू मुस्लिम भाई भाई का राग अलापे जा रहा है, हिन्दू और मुस्लिम दो अलग अलग, विपरीत और विरोधी विचारधारा से जुड़े हुए है, दो अलग अलग और विरोधी विचार वाले भाई कैसे हो सकते है ? ये सोचनीय है |

हिन्दू संस्कृति (वैदिक संस्कृति) उदारता से भरी है, हमें कभी जिहादी या हिंसक बनने की शिक्षा नहीं दी जाती, मनुस्मृति में मनु मजहबी नहीं, मनुष्य बनने की सलाह देते है, वेद भी कभी यह नहीं सिखाता की गैर हिन्दू का कत्ल करो या वे तुम्हारे दुश्मन है, यहाँ तक की प्राणी मात्र को ना मारने की सलाह हमें वेद देते है, जितना भाईचारा या उदारता की शिक्षा हमें वेदों से मिलती है वो अन्य किसी से नहीं मिल सकती

वही दूसरी और जिस मजहब को हमें भाई बनाने के लिए यह सरकारें और नए नए संगठन सलाह देते है, उन्होंने कभी या तो यह जानने की कोशिश नहीं की या जानते हुए भी चुप्प रहे की यह मजहब जिस किताब को खुदाई बताता है उसमें गैर इस्लाम के लिए क्या क्या आज्ञा दी गई है, इस्लामिक खुदाई पुस्तक कुरान, गैर इस्लामी को किसी भी तरह से भाई बनाने की सलाह नहीं देती अपितु उन्हें भाई ना बनाने की सलाह देती है, और यदि कोई भावावेश में आकर भाई बना भी ले तो वो मुसलमान नहीं रहता वो भी काफिर हो जाता है,

आइये पहले यह जान लें की काफिर क्या होता है?

काफिर एक अरबी शब्द है यदि google पर सर्च किया जाए तो आपको इसके कई मतलब मिलेंगे और वो मतलब भी सही है, मैंने यहाँ google पर जाने के लिए इसलिए कहाँ है की हमारी मानसिकता ही कुछ ऐसी हो चुकी है, लोगों को अपनों से ज्यादा आजकल परायों पर विशवास है, इसलिए उचित है उन्हें विशवास दिलाने के लिए वहां भेजना !

इसका साधारण सा अर्थ है गैर इस्लामी !!! जो इस्लाम को ना माने जो अल्लाह को ना माने जो इस्लाम में बताई उपासना पद्दति के अलावा किसी और पद्दति को मानता हो और जो नास्तिक हो

गैर इस्लामी को कुरान में नास्तिक ही माना जाता है क्यूंकि इस्लाम के अनुसार दुनिया में इस्लाम ही ऐसा धर्म (किसी प्रकार से इस्लाम धर्म नहीं है ये केवल एक मत का, समूह का नाम है) है जो खुदा का बनाया गया है तो इनके अनुसार गैर इस्लामिक अर्थात “काफिर” होता है |

अब आप जब कुरान पर नजर डालेंगे तो हर दूसरी आयत आपको आपकी विरोधी प्रतीत होगी जो की वाकई में विरोधी है, कुरान में किसी प्रकार के गैर इस्लामी से भाईचारे की कोई सलाह नहीं है, तो आप सोच रहे होंगे की फिर ये मुसलमान हर समय भाईचारे, अमन का राग क्यों अलापते है, तो इसके लिए आपको बड़े ध्यान से भारत के आज की और आजादी से पहले के भारत की जनसंख्या को धर्म के आधार पर बाँट कर देखना होगा

मोहम्मद का एक ही सपना था की उसका बनाया हुआ यह समूह बहुत बड़ा विस्तार करें उसी का परिणाम है की आज इस्लामिक लोग गैर इस्लामी को हर तरीका उपयोग लेकर उन्हें इस्लाम कबुलवाने में लगे है जिसके कई जरिये है, उन पर भी आगामी लेखों में नजर डालेंगे जो आपको हमारी वेबसाइट www.aryamantavya.in पर मिलेंगे

जब मुसलमान कुरान को पूरी तरह से मानते है और उसका अनुशरण भी करते है तो यह सर्वविदित होना चाहिए की मुसलमान गैर मुस्लिम को भाई मान ही नहीं सकते और यदि मानते भी है तो यह “मुहं में राम बगल में छुरी वाली बात होगी

आइये आपको कुछ आयते बताते है जो साफ़ तौर पर काफिरों को मारने का हुक्म देती है अर्थात ऐसी आयते जो मुसलमानों के अजीम दोस्त हिन्दू को मारने के लिए कहती है:-

ला यतखिजिल-मुअमिनुनल……………….|
(कुरान मजीद पारा ३ सुरा आले इमान रुकू ३ आयत २८)

मुसलमानों को चाहिए की मुसलमानों को छोड़कर काफिरों को अपना दोस्त न बनावें और जो वैसा करेगा तो उससे और अल्लाह का कोई सरोकार नहीं है |

या अय्युह्ल्ल्जी-न आमनू ला ……||
(कुरान मजीद पारा ५ सुरा निसा रुकू १८ आयत १४४)
अय ईमान वालों !! तुम ईमान वालों को छोड़कर काफिरों को दोस्त मत बनाओ | क्या तुम जाहिर खुदा का अपराध अपने ऊपर लेना चाहते हो |

कातिलुल्ल्जी-न ला यअमिनू-न………||
कुरान मजीद पारा १० सूरा तोबा रुकू ४ आयत २९)

किताब वाले जो न खुदा को मानते है और न कयामत को और न अल्लाह और उसके पैगमबर की हराम की हुई चीजों को हराम समझते है और न सच्चे दींन अर्थात इस्लाम को मानते है, इनसे लड़ों और यहाँ तक की जलील होकर (अपने) हाथों जजिया दें |

जब अल्लाह ने भाईचारा रखने पर अपना रिश्ता समाप्त करने की धमकी दे रखी है तो यह विचार करने की बात है की मुसलमान अपने परवरदिगार से आपके लिए कैसे नाता तोड़ सकते है बिलकुल नहीं तोड़ेंगे तो आपसे भाईचारा क्यों ?? यह सवाल दिमाग में आना स्वाभाविक है !!

इस भाईचारे के पीछे कई वजह है इसी भाईचारे को जानने के लिए मैंने आपसे जनसंख्या का धर्म के आधार पर बांटने के लिए कहा था

कश्मीर, जहाँ पर कश्मीरी पंडित और मुसलामानों का भाईचारा ही था, फिर अचानक क्या हुआ की सहस्त्रों कश्मीरी पंडितों को मार डाला गया या भगा दिया गया यह विचार करने से पहले ही लोग तर्क देते है की वहां के मुसलमान अच्छे नहीं है तो उनसे मेरा सवाल है की अन्य देशों में रह रहे हिन्दू भी क्या अलग अलग है क्या उनका मत भारतीय हिन्दुओं से अलग है आपका जवाब होगा नहीं !! फिर ये कश्मीर के और बाकी भारत के मुसलमान में अंतर कैसे ??

ये भाईचारे के दुश्मनी में बदलने का कारण है इस्लाम और खुदाई आज्ञा !! जिस समय हिन्दू मुसलमानों में कश्मीर में भाईचारा और अमन चरम पर था, उस समय मुस्लिम वहां अल्पसंख्यक थे और हिन्दू बहुसंख्यक चूँकि हिन्दू हमेशा से उदारता से परिपूर्ण रहा है तो इसी उदारता के कारण उसने मुसलमानों को अपना भाई ही माना जो गलत भी नहीं है क्यूंकि भारतीय मुस्लिम वास्तव में हमारे भाई ही है, जिनके पूर्वजों को ब्लात्पुर्वक हिन्दू से मुस्लिम बनाया गया था और उसी दबाव को आज भी वो सहता हुआ मुस्लिम ही बना हुआ है, और खुदा के डर में जी रहा है

जब कश्मीर में मुस्लिम अल्पसंख्यक से बहुसंख्यक हुए तो इनका भाईचारा दुश्मनी में परिवर्तित होने लगा और छुट पूट लड़ाई झगड़े शुरू हुए खत्म हुए और इन्हीं झगड़ों और परस्पर विरोधी मान्यताओं के चलते और इस्लाम के विस्तार के अपने लक्ष्य को पूरा करने की चाह में मुसलमानों ने हिन्दुओ को कश्मीर से भगाया और मार भी डाला

और यही परिद्रश्य आपको आसाम, बंगाल, केरल और हैदराबाद में भी देखने को मिलेगा इन कारणों पर हमें विचार करना ही होगा, अन्यथा आने वाली पीढ़ी आपको पूरी जिन्दगी कोसती रहेगी

ये भाईचारा आपको भी कश्मीरी पंडितों के दर्द से परिचय कराएगा यह सार्वभौमिक सत्य है यह होगा यदि आपका यह भाईचारा इसी तरह रहा

इस्लाम को जानिये की यह वास्तव में क्या है, क्या यह धर्म है ?? क्या ये अमन और शान्ति का मजहब है ??

नहीं ये केवल और केवल आतंक का दुसरा नाम है, इस्लाम में भाईचारे, अमन, शान्ति और नारी की कोई जगह नहीं है

सेक्युलरिज्म का यह जहर आपको धीरे धीरे खा रहा है और आप इससे अपरिचित बने रह रहे हो आज समय की जरुरत है की हमें धर्म के प्रति निष्ठावान होना होगा

आपसे विनम्र निवेदन है की हमें झगडा कराने वाला ना समझे हम तो स्वयं चाहते है की देश में अमन और शान्ति बने पर ताली एक हाथ से नहीं बजती, वैदिक धर्म तो जन्म से उदार है और हम इस ओर पहल भी करने को तैयार है पर क्या हमारे मुस्लिम भाई इस काफिर दुश्मन कुरान को त्यागने का माद्दा रखते है ??????????

यदि मुस्लिम कुरान भी नहीं त्याग सकते और हमसे भाईचारे की उम्मीद भी रखते है तो यह दोगलापन लगता है इसमें बड़ी साजिश की बू आती है

इसलिए सजग रहिये सतर्क रहिये, समझदार बनिए क्यूंकि भोले दिखने वाले गजब के गोले होते है

आपके विचार रखिये, प्रश्न कीजिये, सुझाव दीजिये आपका स्वागत है और आगामी लेख की थोड़ी सी प्रतीक्षा कीजिये

तब तक के लिए आज्ञा दीजिये

नमस्ते

Religion of Peace that orders to kill Non Muslims

Leave a comment

In 2001 president Bush quoted at Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. that “Islam is Peace”.  General people who doesn’t have that much knowledge of Islam feels in similar manner. Various Muslim scholars also quote the same and say that Islam literally means “peace or submission” .Muslims who are keen to emphasize their rejection of violence have used the term “a religion of peace” as a description of Islam they says that “The Prophet  did not found a terrorist religion, but a religion of peace.” .but when we look at the history and the current affairs of various Muslim organizations like ISIS, BOKO Haram and Indian Muzahiddin etc, situation is totally different. On looking the activities of these organization and the similar emperors and organization in past it seems that it’s a different world which is shown to general public.

There is an uncanny irony here that many have noticed. The position of these Muslim organizations like ISIS in the face of all provocations seems to be: “Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we will kill you. “

Of course, the truth is often more nuanced, but this is about as nuanced as it ever gets: Islam is a religion of peace, and if you say that it isn’t, we peaceful Muslims cannot be held responsible for what our less peaceful brothers and sisters do. When they burn your embassies or kidnap and slaughter your journalists, know that we will hold you primarily responsible and will spend the bulk of our energies criticizing you for “racism” and “Islamophobia.”

The problem, however, is that the credo of these Muslim organizations like Taliban ISIS actually happens to be “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

It is strange that ISIS wants to establish Islamic state. They says that they are on path of Allah. Looking into their views. Its stranger that Allah, the Islamic God, wants to make people Muslims through a cruel scheme of terror. Being the Creator, he could have achieved this goal by creating everybody a Muslim.

It is amazing to maintain appearance, Islam does not include Jihad in its Five Basic Canons, that is the confession (Kalma), Namaz, Roza, Zukat and Hajj. The reason for this exclusion is to create ambiguity to baffle the followers so that freedom is given to carry out acts of barbarity as holy deeds without inquiring into the nature of religion

Jihad is the surest way of securing paradise. Look at the following Qur’anic Evidence to lure Muslims for Jihad.

 

Look at the hatred verses in Quran against the non-Muslims:

is3is3is3is3Sura Repentance 9:5

 “But when the sacred months expire slay those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity wherever you find them, and besiege them and lie in wait for them. But if they repent and establish the prayer and pay Zakah leave them alone. Surely Allah is all – forgiving ever merciful. And if any of those who associate others with Allah in His Divinity seeks asylum, grant him asylum that he may hear the Word of Allah and then escort him to safety for they are a people who do not know.”

AllamaShabbir Ahmad Usmani describes that it is told that though no covenant stood between the Muslims and the covenant breakers and the Muslims were justified to take any prompt actions against them befitting their crime, yet the reverence of the Holy Months demanded some toleration either because first action might have been forbidden in the holy months up to that time or because of some expedient reason that why confusion should be created among the people for a minor things since warring during these months was conventionally infamous among them. However they were given respite till the end of these month to manage their affairs as they liked.

He further explains that After that for the purification of Arabian Peninsula (an area of land that is almost surrounded by water but is joined to a larger piece of land:
the Iberian peninsula (= Spain and Portugal)) there would be no way out save war. And what is done in war – Killing, arresting, besieging, confining, lying in wait for ambush shall be done necessarily.

Look at the further explanations how clear they are in way of forcing the people to convert to Islam. :

 

According to Imam Ahmad, Imam Shafaee, Imam Malik repent it is obligation of an Islamic State to slay the offender of Salat if he does not repent and begin to pray. Imam Abu Haneefa(Be God’s mercy on him) says that he should be beaten harshly and sentenced to confinement till he dies or repents.

 

How poor that GOD is who is dependent on these terrorists to spread his views.

If he would have been that much of powerful why he didn’t created all the people as Muslims.

Why he is so helpless aginst the Shiatan who is creating obstacle in making the whole world an Islamic State.

Why Allah is Evil, Sadistic God?

4 Comments

While I was browsing Islamic Articles online, I came through a most horrifying, sadistic, cruel article on Non-Muslims. I didn’t expect an alleged god (Allah) to be that cruel and sadistic, as his revealed book and words of his holy Prophet suggests. Below I’ll quote the article, with my comments as explanation. The article is taken from ARAB News:

AS Hell has various levels, in some of which the torment and horror is greater than in others, so the people of Hell will be given different levels of punishment. According to a Hadith narrated by Muslim and Ahmad from Samurah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said concerning the people of Hell: “There are some whom the Fire will take up to their ankles, others up to their knees, others up to their waists, and others up to their collarbones.”

According to another report, “up to their necks” (Muslim in Kitab Al-Jannah wa Sifaat Na’imiha, Baab Shiddat Harr an-Naar, 4/2185) [ARTICLE]

Are we sure, that these words are from Holy Prophet of most merciful god? It doesn’t seems so, because all it talks about burning Non-Muslims, and tormenting them, just because they didn’t believe in an imaginary god, when they were alive? I would also like to draw the attention of readers, that it is not our deeds, which determine whether we Non-Muslim (Kafirs) will be in hell or heaven. Its Allah’s prerogative to send anyone to hell or heaven. In this connection, Prophet Muhammad himself said, in Sahih Bukhari,  Volume 6, Book 60, Number 473 :

“There is none among you, and no created soul but has his place written for him either in Paradise or in the Hell-Fire, and also has his happy or miserable fate (in the Hereafter) written for him.”

If we need to believe on this Hadith, then for sure, Allah is the most merciless & brutal god, who first predetermine the fate and then punishes the Non-Muslims. This is just beginning, let’s see what more Non-Muslims will face in hell of Islam.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has told us about those who will receive the lightest punishment in Hell. Al-Bukhari reports from Al-Nu’maan ibn Bashir who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say, ‘The person who will have the least punishment among the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under the arch of whose feet will be placed a smoldering ember, and his brains will boil because of it’. [ARTICLE]

I am amazed to read that the least punishment in Allah’s sadistic torment house will be a man with burning feet & boiling brain. When we are talking of fire, I’ll not forget that the fire in Islamic hell is not the same which we usually see & feel. Because the merciful prophet said, “The Hell Fire is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.’ So someone said, ‘Allah’s Apostle, wouldn’t this ordinary fire have been sufficient to torture the unbelievers?” [Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 487]. Now we are getting little idea of Islamic hell, which is prepared by merciless, barbaric Allah to torture those who chose not to believe in his pseudo-scientific, illogical, violent rant. Below is the list of some extremely violent, inhumane, barbaric list of punishment, with reference from authentic scriptures of Islam, which will be given to Non-Believers of Islam.

Roasting of the skin
The Fire of the Almighty will burn the skin of the infidels. The skin is the site of sensation, where the pain of burning is felt, and for this reason, Allah Almighty will replace the burned skin with a new one, to be burned anew, and this will be repeated endlessly: “Those who reject Our Signs, We shall soon cast them into the Fire. As often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty. For Allah is Exalted in Power, All-Wise.” (Qur’an, 4:56)

Melting
One of the kinds of torment will be the pouring of Al-Hamim over their heads. Al-Hamim is ultra-heated water; because of its extreme heat, it will melt their innards and everything inside: “… then as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them, boiling water will be poured down over their heads. With it will melt or vanish away what is within their bellies, as well as skins.” (Qur’an, 22:19-20)

At-Tirmidhi reported from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Al-Hamim will be poured on their heads and will dissolve through until it reaches their sides and all their innards will drop out, until it comes out of his feet, and everything is melted, then he will be restored as he was.” He (At-Tirmidhi) said, “It is a sahih ghareeb hasan Hadith.” (At-Takhweef min An-Naar, p.145, Jaami’ Al-Usool, 10/540)

Scorching (the face)
The noblest and most dignified part of a person is the face, hence the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade us to strike the face. One of the ways in which Allah Almighty will humiliate the people of Hell is by gathering them on their faces, blind, deaf and dumb, on the Day of Resurrection: “…We shall gather them together prone on their faces, blind, dumb, and deaf; their abode will be Hell; every time it shows abatement, We shall increase for them the Fierceness of the Fire.” (Qur’an, 17:97)

Then they will be thrown on their faces in the Fire: “And if any do evil, their faces will be thrown headlong into the Fire: “Do you receive a reward other than that which you have earned by your deeds?” (Qur’an, 27:90)

The Fire will burn and cover their faces forever, with no barrier between them and it: “If only the unbelievers knew when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor yet from their backs, and no help can reach them!” (Qur’an, 21:39)

“The Fire will burn their faces and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced.” (Qur’an, 23:104)

“Their garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with fire.” (Qur’an, 14:50)

“Is then one who has to fear the brunt of the penalty on the Day of Judgement his face?” (Qur’an, 39:24)

Look at this horrific scene that makes one shudder!
“The Day that their faces will be turned upside down in the Fire, they will say, “Woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger.” (Qur’an, 33:66)
Do you not see that just as meat and fish are turned over when they are cooked, so their faces will be turned over in the Fire of Hell. We seek refuge with Allah Almighty from the punishment of the people of Hell.

Dragging
Another of the painful torments that the infidels will suffer is being dragged on their faces into Hell: “Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad. The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces: “Taste the touch of Hell.” (Qur’an, 54:47-48)

Their pain at being dragged will be increased by the fact that they will be tied up in chains and fetters: “…But soon shall they know, when the yokes round their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along, in the boiling fetid fluid, then shall they be burned.” (Qur’an, 40:70-72)
Qatadah said, “They will be dragged once in the Fire, and once in Al-Hamim.” (Ibn Rajab, at-Takhweef min an-Naar, p.147)

Blackening of the faces
Allah Almighty will blacken the faces of the people of Hell in the Hereafter: “On the Day when some faces will be white and some faces will be black; to those who faces will be black: “Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the Penalty for rejecting Faith.” (Qur’an, 3:106)

This is intense blackness, as if the darkness of night had covered their faces
“But those who have earned evil will have a reward of like evil, and ignominy will cover their faces. No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the darkness of night. They are Companions of the Fire, they will abide therein [for aye!] (Qur’an, 10:27) [ARTICLE]

After reading these verses from Quran, and sayings of Muhammad, I don’t believe any sane, rational mind, will call Islam a religion of peace, or Allah the Most Merciful Lord of universe as Muslims say. These verses are evil & demonic, and it appears that these verses are written by the most demonic & sadistic man ever to live on face of Earth. I want to leave readers with choice, either they want to live a life-like hell with so-called peaceful Muslims like Osama Bin Laden & Hafiz Syed, or they want to eradicate this cancer called Islam.

Islamic Cleric: Indian Politicians should be more critical of Modi to get certificate of secularism

Leave a comment

Imam of city’s Tipu Sultan Mosque Maulana Barkati lashed out at Modi for seeking the votes of the Muslim community. He asked Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee to be more critical of Modi in order to prove her secular credentials.

He added, “Mamata Banerjee (CM of West Bengal) should be more critical of Narendra Modi (BJP PM candidate) like Rahul Gandhi to prove her secular credentials.

The Imam of city’s Tipu Sultan Mosque, Maulana Barkati, told PTI, “We know she is secular, but if Mamata Banerjee wants to prove her secular credentials, she should be more aggressive and critical about Modi. Rahul Gandhi has been critical of Modi, we want Mamata Banerjee also to come out openly in criticizing Modi.”

In India, the politicians who sports Skull caps like Muslims, even on Hindu Festivals, and openly abuses & criticizes Hindu Nationalist leader Modi, is offered certificate of secularism by the great clerics of Islam.

Indian National Congress leader, & Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde refused to be anointed by a vermilion tilak when a Hindu priest approached him, but he went forward enthusiastically to wear a skull-cap, when offered by a Maulvi (Islamic Cleric), just to woo Muslims of India, and to prove his secular credentials.

Even, the newly born Aam Aadmi Party’s chief ‘Arvind Kejriwal’, who is accused of having relations with Anti-India organizations, too wore skull-cap in public meeting to woo Muslim voters, and to project himself as a secular leader.

Now Indian voters need to realize that wearing or sporting skull-cap has nothing to do with secularism. Secularism is defined as “the view that public education and other matters of civil policy should be conducted without the introduction of a religious element”, but this is not the case with Indian secularism, in India secularism is decided by some of the powerful Islamic Clerics, who are free to abuse Hindus, Hindu leaders and right-wing politicians, and the Politicians who follow them blindly are rated high in their certificate of Secularism.

Quran – The Word of God?

Leave a comment

The Qur’an, (Koran) meaning recitation, is the sacred book of Islam. According to Muslim tradition, it was revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad in separate revelations over the major portion of his life at Mecca and at Medina. The Qur’an was probably compiled as a single volume under the third caliph, Uthman, who appointed a committee (651-52). The internal organization of the Qur’an is somewhat ad hoc. Revelations consisted of verses (ayat) grouped into 114 chapters (surah, plural – suwar).

This is what Qur’an says in its English Translation’s introduction, lets see how much words in Quran is from Allah, because as per Muslim’s claim each and every word between the two covers of the Quran is verbatim word of God (Allah). This question is beyond any doubt and Qur’an itself proves that some verse contained in it is from Muhammad, and if Qur’an contains a single alphabet of Muhammad, or anyone except Allah, it means it has to rejected entirely as it is altered by a mere man.

Quran itself claims that it is pure word of Allah, and it has no discrepancies or errors. Now it’s not my fault if I find even a single error, discrepancy or pseudo-science in Quran, and reject it, because Quran asks me to do so. Read the verse:

(Quran 4:82)
Do they not consider the Qur’an (with care)?
Had it been from other than Allah, they would
surely have found therein much discrepancy.

According to the Muslims the Quran contains the words of God. Quran is to be read as if God himself had spoken these words stated in it. It is important to emphasize this point because if Quran is the word of God then it should not contain any human words or errors and it should hold true for all times.

However, such is not the case. First, we will see how some of the verses in the Quran itself show clearly that some of the verses were obviously spoken by Muhammad and Not God (Allah).

(Quran 1:1-7)
In the name of the Merciful and Compassionate God.
Praise belongs to God, The Lord of the worlds, the merciful, the compassionate, the ruler of the day of the day of judgement! Thee we serve and Thee we ask for aid. Guide us in the right path,the path of those Thou art gracious to; not to those Thou art wroth with, nor of those who err.

Someone need not be a rocket-scientist to comprehend that these words are clearly addressed to God, in the form of a prayer. They are Muhammad’s words of praise to God, asking for God’s help and guidance. Some Muslim compilers conveniently add the imperative “say” in the English translation of the Quran at the beginning of the surah (chapter) to remove this difficulty. This imperative form of the word “say” occurs at least 350 times in the Quran, and its obvious that this word has, in fact, been inserted by later compilers of the Quran to remove countless similarly embarrassing difficulties. Thus, we have direct evidence that the Quran starts out with the words of Muhammad.

Very similar comment Swami Dayanand Saraswati gave in his book “The Light of Truth” on the very first verse of Quran, he said:

The Mohammedans claim that this Q’uran is the Word of God, but it appears from the above passage that the author of this book was some person other than God, since had it been God himself, He would not have said: “(I begin this book) in the name of God etc.” He would have, instead, said: “I write this book for the instruction of mankind.” If it be said that by beginning His book in this fashion He means to teach men as to what they should say when about to do a thing, it cannot be true, since some men will do even sinful deeds in the name of God and thereby bring disgrace on Him.

So it can be said that at least the very first chapter of Quran is without a shadow of doubt not from Allah, but either by Muhammad himself or some of the later compiler. Quran in many other places gives us evidence that it is not the God’s word, but of somebody else, like read Quran 6:104, which says:

(Quran 6:104)
Now have come to you, from your Lord, proofs (To open your eyes): If any will see, it will be for (the good of) his own soul; If any will be blind, it will be to his own (harm): I am not (here) To watch over your doings.

In this verse the speaker of the line “I am not to watch over your doings”– is clearly Muhammad’s word. In fact N J Dawood in his translation adds a footnote that the “I” refers to Mohammed here. Apart from this Al-Jalalayan in his explanation to this verse writes:

And I am not a keeper, a watcher, over you, of your deeds: I am but a Warner.

The case is crystal clear that Muhammad considered himself to be the warner, and a messenger. So this verse must have been revealed by Muhammad himself to frighten people of Mecca from the wrath of Allah, so that people embrace Islam in fear. The are loads of similar verse, in which Muhammad speaks in 1st person. Let’s see them too.

(Quran 27:91)
For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, Him Who has sanctified it and to whom (Belong)  things; and I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam to Allah’s Will

Again, the speaker here is clearly Muhammad who is trying to justify killing of innocent Meccans who were not willing to follow Muhammad’s version of God. Dawood and Pickthall both interpolate “say” at the beginning of the sentence which is lacking in the original Arabic version of the verse.

If we use word to word translation dictionary, it makes more clear that this verse is Muhammad’s own creation, instead of Allah’s. The actual verse in Arabic says:

innamā- “Only

umir’tu – I am commanded

an – that

aʿbuda – I worship

rabba- (the) Lord

hādhihil-baldati – (of) this city

By my wildest imagination also, I can’t understand why God commands himself to worship the lord. Or else the verse is by Muhammad or somebody else. In other places in Quran, the creator of world, the lord of Islam, starts swearing on his own creation. We have observed and seen, that people mostly swear on things or people very superior to them, like mother, father, god, holy books etc. We would have hardly noticed people, swearing seriously on their bikes, cars, or wallets, but never mind Allah does if he has revealed the verse (Quran 81:15) himself. The verse says:

(Quran 81:15)
So verily I call To witness the planets that recede… 

Ibn Kathir explains the verse by quoting a Sahih Hadith which says:

Muslim recorded in his Sahih, and An-Nasa’i in his Book of Tafsir, in explaining this Ayah, from `Amr bin Hurayth that he said, “I prayed the Morning prayer behind the Prophet , and I heard him reciting, (But nay! I swear by Al-Khunnas, Al-Jawar Al-Kunnas, and by the night when it `As`as, and by the day when it Tanaffas.)” Ibn Jarir recorded from Khalid bin `Ar`arah that he heard `Ali being asked about the Ayah; (لَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ. الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ) (Nay! I swear by Al-Khunnas, Al-Jawar Al-Kunnas.) and he said, “These are the stars that withdraw (disappear) during the day and sweep across the sky (appear) at night.”

Do we have any more doubt regarding the verse? Obviously its Muhammad, who swore on planets and stars. We find very similar verse in CH 84:16-19 too, which says:

(Quran 84:16-19)
I swear by the afterglow of sunset, and by the night, and by the moon when she is at the full.

Once again it is Muhammad and NOT God. He is unable to disguise his pagan heritage. He swears again in the name of the Sun and Moon, both of which were considered as holy deities by Pre-Islamic Arabs. We have got enough evidences to prove that Quran contains Muhammad’s own word, but this is not all, we are left with many of Muhammad’s verse, for example read Quran 6:114, which says:

(Quran 6:114)
Should I seek other judge than God, when
it is He who has sent down to you, the
distinguishing book (Koran)?

Any sane person can comprehend that those words are not spoken by God but Muhammad himself. Yusuf Ali in his translation adds at the beginning of the sentence “say”, which is not there in the original Arabic and he does so without comment or footnote. The Arabic verse starts with the word “afaghayra l-lahi” which means “Then is (it) other than Allah”. Any Muslim who reads Quran in Arabic can check this fact.

Now let’s come back to Muslims claim, that the book Quran is a verbatim word of Allah, and contains no human verses or letters or even an alphabet. But as per my knowledge and study of Quran, I have shown half a dozen verses of Muhammad, or else later compiler of Quran. Now would they reject Quran as word of God, or they will stick to their blind belief depends on them?

Interestingly I haven’t touched the errors and pseudo-science portion yet, which Allah has challenged us to find in Quran. Which will be done in next part of this article.

Reply to Dr Naik’s :Does Islam Promote Violence?

Does Islam Promote Violence?

We often hear Muslim Clerics and Scholars explaining the meaning of word ‘Islam’ as peace. Most of the time we are accused of misquoting verses of Quran and misunderstanding them, we are even asked by our politically correct leader to never use the word terrorism with Islam.  But is it true that Islam doesn’t promote violence? Or it does? When I asked this simple question from my Muslim friends, they handed me a video lecture of famous Indian televangelist Dr. Zakir Naik, who explains in his video why Islam does not promote violence. Even after going through his video I am not satisfied, I am writing this article as an objection to his claims. Following are the transcripts of his lecture in red, with my reply.

Dr. Naik Said:- A few selected verses from the Qur’an are often misquoted to perpetuate the myth that Islam promotes violence, and exhorts its followers to kill those outside the pale of Islam.

My Reply:- Few years back I read a book entitled “164 Jihad verses in Quran” compiled by Yoel Natan, he enlisted only those verses from Quran which talks about killing, murder, jihad, raid, loot, expedition, fighting etc. Apart from Quran there are many Sahih Hadiths, which are canonical scripture of Islam, and in Hadith you will find commands of violence and fighting in good amount. So I guess Dr. Naik made a mistake by selecting the word ‘few’ for those verses from Quran which critics consider to promote violence.

Let’s leave the Quranic verses aside for time being, but how can we ignore what Muslims are doing today in world in name of Allah. I believe action speaks more than words, and they (Muslims) have proved it that something is wrong with Islamic teaching. They don’t even tolerate Muslims from other sect, then how come we expect them to show mercy of Non-Muslims?

About the allegation of misquotation I would say, that it’s hardly our mistake if we have misquoted any Quranic verse, as seldom you will find Quranic verses with context. Actually Quran only in some places gives its context of verses, still we are more sincere than Muslims in taking the Quranic verse in context, why I said so we will see it later in this article.

Dr. Naik Said:- . Verse from Surah Taubah 

The following verse from Surah Taubah is very often quoted by critics of Islam, to show that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed and brutality:

“Kill the mushriqeen (pagans, polytheists, kuffar) where ever you find them.” [Al-Qur’an 9:5]

My Reply:- Yes, true the Quranic verse 9:5 and 9:29 are very often quoted, the complete verse reads:-

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives 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; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Who will not say that Islam promotes violence, bloodshed, and brutality, after reading the above verse? The commands are crystal clear, and in above verse the author of Quran commands Muslims to kill Non-Muslims after the sacred months of Islam is passed. It further adds that if they (Non-Muslims) embrace Islam, then let them go free. Doesn’t it sound kind of dictatorship by an almighty? Well I still have to take this verse in context, or else Muslims will accuse me of misquoting the verse, but before let’s see what more Dr. Naik says.

Dr. Naik said:- . Context of verse is during battlefield 

Critics of Islam actually quote this verse out of context. In order to understand the context, we need to read from verse 1 of this surah. It says that there was a peace treaty between the Muslims and the Mushriks (pagans) of Makkah. This treaty was violated by the Mushriks of Makkah. A period of four months was given to the Mushriks of Makkah to make amends. Otherwise war would be declared against them. Verse 5 of Surah Taubah says:


“But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Al-Qur’an 9:5]

This verse is quoted during a battle.

My Reply:- Above Dr. Naik easily claims that the context of verse is during battlefield, but we don’t see any evidence for his claim. Whereas most of the early scholars have different view about the very same verse.

Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi wrote: – A clear declaration was made that all the treaties with the mushriks were abolished and the Muslims would be released from the treaty obligations with them after a respite of four months.(vv. 1-3). This declaration was necessary for uprooting completely the system of life based on shirk and to make Arabia exclusively the center of Islam so that it should not in any way interfere with the spirit of Islam nor become an internal danger for it.

In his explanation of the verse 9:5 Ibn Kathir says:- (So when the Sacred Months have passed…), meaning, `Upon the end of the four months during which We prohibited you from fighting the idolaters  and which is the grace period We gave them, then fight and kill the idolaters wherever you may find them.’ Allah’s statement next, (then fight the Mushrikin wherever you find them), means, on the earth in general, except for the Sacred Area,(and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush), do not wait until you find them. Rather, seek and besiege them in their areas and forts, gather intelligence about them in the various roads and fairways so that what is made wide looks ever smaller to them. This way, they will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islam.

These above explanations make the verse very clear, as it also proves that Dr. Naik is lying about the verse. This verse was revealed to prepare Muslims for Jihad against Non-Muslims, and to force all Arabs to embrace Islam.

Dr. Naik is certainly making an error by claiming that the peace treaty was violated by Non-Muslims, but in reality it is Muhammad himself who broke the treaty with Non-Muslims, it is clear from the very first verse of Quran Ch 9, which says:-

[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists.

Here we see Allah and his messenger are declaring the disassociation of the treaty with the polytheists, and it is not the other way round. The reason for this disassociation is correctly mentioned by Maududdi, as he says:-

This declaration was necessary for uprooting completely the system of life based on shirk and to make Arabia exclusively the center of Islam so that it should not in any way interfere with the spirit of Islam nor become an internal danger for it.

Allah commands Muslims to complete the term of four months with them who are not deficient towards Muslims in any way. This he mentioned in Quran Ch 9 Verse 4:-

Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].

And the very next verse commands Muslims to kill even those who were not deficient towards Muslims and supported no enemy of Muslims, so this alone clearly proves that Islam does promote violence, and the explanation given by Dr. Naik is full of errors and far from historical evidences.

Dr. Naik:- Example of war between America and Vietnam

We know that America was once at war with Vietnam. Suppose the President of America or the General of the American Army told the American soldiers during the war: “Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them”. Today if I say that the American President said, “Wherever you find the Vietnamese, kill them” without giving the context, I will make him sound like a butcher. But if I quote him in context, that he said it during a war, it will sound very logical, as he was trying to boost the morale of the American soldiers during the war.

My Reply:- Well Dr. Naik loves to brain wash his followers by giving irrelevant examples, and he cunningly quotes those example which may make Islam look a peaceful religion. The example which he quoted above is in no relation with the verse which we are discussing. As I demonstrated above that the verse was not revealed in relation of war like that of America and Vietnam, so his example is useless here.  He should have better given example of Pakistan and India. We all know Pakistan is a heaven of Islamic terrorism, so what if the president of Pakistan tells Islamic terrorists “Kill all the Indians wherever you find and lie in wait of them.” This example would be more relevant than his example.

Dr Naik Said:- Verse 9:5 quoted to boost morale of Muslims during battle

Similarly in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 the Qur’an says, “Kill the Mushriks wherever you find them”, during a battle to boost the morale of the Muslim soldiers. What the Qur’an is telling Muslim soldiers is, don’t be afraid during battle; wherever you find the enemies kill them.

My Reply:- Yes, verse 9:5 was revealed to boost the morale of Muslims, but not during battlefield. Muslims were commanded to kill all the Non-Muslims of Arabia and fight with them until they die or embrace Islam, so were Muslims in state of war with all Non-Muslim? I believe no. I as said earlier this verse was revealed to make the whole of Arabia a perfect Dar-ul-Islam.

Dr Naik said: – . Shourie jumps from verse 5 to verse 7 

Arun Shourie is one of the staunchest critics of Islam in India. He quotes the same verse, Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 5 in his book ‘The World of Fatawas’, on page 572. After quoting verse 5 he jumps to verse 7 of Surah Taubah. Any sensible person will realize that he has skipped verse 6.

My Reply:- Its good that he jumped from verse 5 to 7, or else it would have made the meaning of the verse 5 more worst, and cruel. OK  as you suggest that we should include verse 9:6 too, then sure, I’ll do it for you. Quran 9:6 says:-

And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.

To understand this verse we may rely on what most prominent Islamic scholars think about this verse, I believe it will not make the previous verse peaceful, but certainly it will make it look more violent. Ibn Kathir in his commentary says:-

These Ayat allowed fighting people unless, and until, they embrace Islam and implement its rulings and obligations. Allah mentioned the most important aspects of Islam here, including what is less important. Surely, the highest elements of Islam after the Two Testimonials, are the prayer, which is the right of Allah, the Exalted and Ever High, then the Zakah, which benefits the poor and needy. These are the most honorable acts that creatures perform, and this is why Allah often mentions the prayer and Zakah together. In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Ibn `Umar said that the Messenger of Allah said, These Ayat allowed fighting people unless, and until, they embrace Islam and implement its rulings and obligations.

He adds:- (And if anyone of the Mushrikin), whom you were commanded to fight and We allowed you their blood and property,’(seeks your protection), asked you for safe passage, then accept his request until he hears the Words of Allah, the Qur’an. Recite the Qur’an to him and mention a good part of the religion with which you establish Allah’s proof against him, The Ayah says, `We legislated giving such people safe passage so that they may learn about the religion of Allah, so that Allah’s call will spread among His servants. Ibn Abi Najih narrated that Mujahid said that this Ayah, “Refers to someone who comes to you to hear what you say and what was revealed to you (O Muhammad).Therefore, he is safe until he comes to you, hears Allah’s Words and then proceeds to the safe area where he came from.” 

After reading the above explanation, in short we can say that Muslims in 9:5 are allowed to kill all Non-Muslims until they make Arabia a perfect Dar-ul-Islam. Muslims are allowed to fight until none has right to worship Allah alone. In between if any Non-Muslim seeks protection, i.e. if he agrees to embrace Islam, and do all that what Muslims do, is safe.

Now how this addition of verse 9:6 makes its previous verse peaceful? Still the outline is same, to kill Non-Muslims and keep fighting until they either die or embrace Islam. So in Dr. Naik’s words, any sensible person will realize that Islam does not promote violence.

Rest he talks about Quran 9:6, which I have already explained in above part. So by no means Islam can be said a religion of peace, and even the top scholars of Islam makes a number of mistakes and errors while trying to prove Islam to be religion of peace. Islam was, is and ever be the most intolerant religion, which always promotes violence.

Islam

Was Muhammad persecuted in Mecca, as Muslims claim?

Leave a comment

There are loads of sites and Books by Muslims that states that Muhammad was persecuted by the Meccans for preaching Islam, and this led Prophet to leave Mecca and Move to Yathrib (Medina). This gives Muslims a chance to create a myth; that Prophet fought his fight in self-defense. However the Historye of Muhammad, written by Muslims themselves is a stark denial to this fact. If at all, Muhammad was persecuted, we need to know the reason as to why he was persecuted. The reason for his persecution is important to be able to pass any judgment on him. Today we see all Governments of different countries persecute Terrorist Organizations and Drug Dealers, but those Governments are not to be blamed for persecuting or prosecuting these Organisation. In the same way, we need to see why Muhammad and other Muslims were persecuted, if really he was?

The very first thing I notice in Islamic history is that Quraysh was very Tolerant. As one of the Muslim biographer says, “Abu Talib made no objection to Islam of his two sons ]a’far and ‘Ali, but for himself he said he was not prepared to forsake the religion of his forefathers; ‘Abbas was evasive and Hamzah uncomprehending, though both assured him of their unfailing affection for him personally.” [1]

This shows the head of Quraysh was a tolerant man, he had no objection when his two sons embraced Islam.

When Muhammad started mocking and insulting the religion of Quraysh, Quraysh went to Abu Talib, and requested him to ask Muhammad to stop insulting  them. Quraysh said, “0 Abu Talib, thine is a high and honourable position amongst us, and we have asked thee to hold in check thy brother’s son, but thou hast not done so. By God, we will not suffer our fathers to be insulted, our ways scoffed at, and our gods reviled.” [2]

The above quote however does not prove that Muhammad was persecuted, Muhammad used to insult and abuse gods and the religions of the Qurayshies.  Quraysh begged Abu Talib to stop his Nephew . Another source says, “ the Quraysh went to Abu Talib, a highly respected elder who was the Prophet’s uncle and tribal protector, and demanded that he put an end to Muhammad’s behavior, whom they accused of cursing their gods, denouncing their forefathers and insulting their religion. “ [3] 

Quraysh had a reason to be negative toward Muhammad. The Prophet cursed their gods, denounced their forefathers, and insulted their religions. But they did not fight directly; rather they requested Abu Talib to stop Muhammad. But Abu Talib failed to stop Muhammad. Even so, this did not make Quraysh attack Muhammad. They still waited and hoped for peace. Quraysh, sent another person, Utbah to offer Muhammad anything he wanted so that he can leave them in peace.
Utbah went to the Prophet and said, “Son of my brother,thou art as thou knowest a noble of the tribe and thy lineage assureth thee of a place of honor. And now thou hast brought to thy people a matter of grave concern, whereby thou hast rifted their community, declared their way of life to be foolish, spoken shamefully of their gods and their religion, and called their forefathers infidels. So hear what I propose, and see if any of it be acceptable to thee. If it be wealth thou seekest, we will put together a fortune for thee from our various properties that thou mayst be the richest man amongst us. If it be honour thou seekest, we will make thee our overlord and take no decision without thy consent; and if thou wouldst have kingship, we will make thee our king; and if thyself thou canst not rid thee of this sprite that appeareth unto thee, we will find thee a physician and spend our wealth until thy cure be complete.”  Before Utbah went to prophet, read what made Utbah go to Muhammad. In a meeting with other Chiefs of Quraysh, Utbah said, “‘Utbah ibn Rabi’ah. “Why should I not go to Muhammad,” he said, “and make certain offers to him, some of which he might accept? And what he accepteth, that will we give him, on condition that he leave us in peace.” [4] 

We can see what was the grave concern with the Prophet’s tribe. Muhammad broke the peace of his Tribe, and he was also a big danger for the basic livelihood of his tribe, which was through pilgrimage to the Kaaba. On one occasion Quraysh decided that outside the town all the roads by which Mecca was approached ( by Pilgrims) must be manned, and that visitors must be warned in advance to be on their guard against Muhammad. This was done because Quraysh had a high reputation of hospitality, not only as regards food and drink but also because they made every man feel welcomed, both him and his gods. But this year there was the threat that pilgrims will hear their gods insulted by Muhammad and his followers, and they would be urged to forsake the religion of their forefathers and to adopt a new religion which appeared to have numerous disadvantages. [5]

Prophet even failed to prove his religion, which is evident from Many Meccans verse while at the same time he abused their religions, forefather and gods. Then  Quraysh wrote a decree institutinging a boycott of the Hashim and al-Muttalib sub-clans: marriage, and all forms of buying and selling, between the rest of Quraysh and the two sub-clans was completely suspended, such that not even basic provisions could be secured. [6] 

This boycott continued for three years. During this period Muhammad earned few followers in Medina, who used to visit Muhammad during each Pilgrimage season. Finally, all his followers met with the Prophet in secrecy at ‘Aqaba, in nearby Mina under cover of night, to make the following pledge: (1) Not to associate any partners with the one true God, Allah; (2) To obey the Prophet in all righteous matters; (3) To refrain from stealing; (4) And adultery; (5)And infanticide; (6)And slander.  In the following year a larger delegation (over seventy, including two women) again met with him during the pilgrimage season and invited him to migrate to Medina. On that night they proclaimed the second pledge of ‘Aqaba, with a new added clause (7) To protect the Messenger in the same manner as they would protect their own women and children. After this Muslims started Migrating to Medina. [7] 

I don’t find any persecution from Quraysh, and he was only boycotted, but for a reason. Now, Gandhi asked Indians to Boycott the British when they ruled India. This does not make Gandhi a cruel man and in the wrong. By the same token, Quraysh boycotted Muhammad since he was a threat to their peace, abused and insulted their forefathers and religions, without proving his own religion to be correct. He also was a threat to their livelihood, which they earned from servicing Pilgrims.  This Muslims claim of persecution in Mecca is no more than a mirage.

Can a Muslim take Non-Muslim as a friend?

1 Comment

We are taught since childhood, that we should love and respect everyone. We should not hate anyone and should consider everyone as friends, without discriminating on grounds of religion, sex, or color.Even Muslims are first to claim, that they can co-exist with each and every community in this world peacefully. But, does their scripture (Qur’an) permit them to co-exist peacefully with people of other religions? Are they allowed to take Non-Muslims as a friend? To know these answers, we have to open Quran, and read what Allah has to say on the relevant topic.

In this article we will try to expose, what Islam teaches its believers about the relations with Non-Muslims. Fatwa below is taken from a Islamic site for which source is provided, which explains relation of Muslim with a Non-Muslim.

Question:-

We hope that you will be able to explain, with examples, what is meant by the phrase, “Taking kaafirs as close friends and protectors is haraam.”?

Answer:-

Praise be to Allaah.

Yes, examples will certainly explain and clarify what is meant, so we will move straight on to quoting some of the most important points that the scholars and leaders of da’wah have said about different ways of showing friendship towards kaafirs.

Accepting their kufr and doubting that it is kufr at all, or refraining from labelling them as kaafirs, or praising their religion. Allaah says about the kufr of the one who accepts them (interpretation of the meaning): “… but such as open their breasts to disbelief…” [al-Nahl 16:106]. Allaah says, making it obligatory to label the kaafirs as such (interpretation of the meaning): “… Whoever disbelieves in Taaghoot [false deities] and believes in Allaah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break…” [al-Baqarah 2:256]. Allaah says about the munaafiqoon (hypocrites) who prefer the kuffaar to the Muslims (interpretation of the meaning) “… [they] say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims).” [al-Nisa’ 4:51].

Referring to them for judgement. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… they wish to got for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taaghoot (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them…” [al-Nisa’ 4:60]

Befriending and liking them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “You will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger…” [al-Mujaadilah 58:22]

[Here the lord of world’s says, that those who are Muslims, will not befriend those who are disbelievers. Allah prejudge them (Disbelievers) as hypocrites, and even Muslims today believe that they are better guided than Non-Muslims. For the last quoted verse al-Mujaadilah 58:22, Ibn Jalalalayan explains “You will not find a people who believe in God and the Last Day loving, befriending, those who oppose God and His Messenger, even though they, the opposers, were their fathers, that is to say, the believers’ [fathers], or their sons or their brothers or their clan, rather [you will find that] they intend to do them harm and they fight them over [the question of] faith, as occurred on one occasion with some Companions, may God be pleased with them. [For] those, the ones who are not loving of them, He has inscribed, He has established, faith upon their hearts and reinforced them with a spirit, a light, from Him, exalted be He, and He will admit them into gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide, God being pleased with them, for their obedience of Him, and they being pleased with Him, because of His reward. Those [they] are God’s confederates, following His command and refraining from what He has forbidden. Assuredly it is God’s confederates who are the successful, the winners.” This is enough to say that Allah forbids Muslims to befriend their fathers, brothers, and other member of clan if they are disbelievers.] [Source]

Inclining towards them, relying upon them and taking them as a support. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And incline not towards those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you…” [Hood 11:113]

[In above verse, the people who do wrong are those who disbelief, or are polytheist, and idolaters. If Muslims rely on them, and take support from them, then they too will go to hell fire. ]

Helping and supporting them against the Muslims. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “The believers, men and women, are awliya’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another…” [al-Tawbah 9:71]. He also says of the kuffaar that they are “ but awliya’ (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) to one another…” [al-Maa’idah 5:51]. And He says (interpretation of the meaning): “…And if any amongst you takes them as awliya’, then surely he is one of them.”[al-Maa’idah 5:51].

Becoming members of their societies, joining their parties, increasing their numbers, taking their nationalities (except in cases of necessity), serving in their armies or helping to develop their weapons.

Bringing their laws and rules to the Muslim countries. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Do they then seek the judgement of the Days of Ignorance?…” [al-Maa’idah 5:50]

[Allah wants Muslims not to support Non-Muslims, by helping them in Armies, Joining their parties and taking their Nationalities. It is evident from the number of Muslims in Indian army, they are only 1.5%- 2% Muslims in Indian Army in 14% Muslims in Total.]

Taking them as friends in general terms, taking them as helpers and supporters, and throwing in one’s lot with them. Allaah forbids all this, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as awliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but awliya’ to one another…” [al-Maa’idah 5:51].

[Allah forbids Muslims to take protectors or helpers among Jews and Christians, to explain it much better let;s see what Ibn Jalalayan says about the verse, “affiliating with them or showing them affection; they are patrons of each other, being united in disbelief. Whoever amongst you affiliates with them, he is one of them, counted with them.” ]

Compromising with them and being nice to them at the expense of one’s religion. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so that they (too) would compromise with you.” [al-Qalam 68:9]. This includes sitting with them and entering upon them at the time when they are making fun of the Signs of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And it has already been revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the Verses of Allaah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them), certainly in that case you would be like them…” [al-Nisa’ 4:140]

[Allah forbids Muslims in 4:140, to hear not anything against Allah, Muhammad and Qur’an. This is because, if they hear them( Disbelievers), they will become like them. Muslims run away from reasons and Logic, also questioning their faith makes them sad and frustrated. So they opt a very easy way out of it. By running away from all these.]

Trusting them and taking them as advisors and consultants instead of the believers. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Take not as (your) bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made clear to you the aayaat (proofs, evidence, verses), if you understand. Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e., you believe in the Tawraat and the Injeel, while they disbelieve in your Book (the Qur’aan)]. And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe.’ But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: ‘Perish in your rage. Certainly Allaah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets).’ If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it…” [Aal ‘Imran 3:118-120].

Imaam Ahmad and Muslim reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out to (the battle of) Badr, and a man from among the mushrikeen followed him and caught up with him at al-Harrah. He said, “I wanted to follow you and join you, and have some of the war-booty with you.” (The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) said: “Do you believe in Allaah and His Messenger?” He said, “No.” He said, “Go back, I do not need help from a mushrik.”

From these texts it is clear that we are forbidden to appoint kaafirs to positions whereby they could find out the secrets of the Muslims and plot against them by trying to do all kinds of harm.

Putting them in administrative positions where they are bosses of Muslims and can humiliate them, run their affairs and prevent them from practising their religion. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… and never will Allaah grant to the disbelievers a way (to triumph) over the believers.” [al-Nisa’ 4:141]. Imaam Ahmad reported that Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I said to ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). ‘I have a Christian scribe.’ He said, ‘What is wrong with you, may Allaah strike you dead! Have you not heard the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning), “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as awliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but awliya’ to one another…” [al-Maa’idah 5:51]”? Why do you not employ a haneef [i.e., a Muslim]?’ I said, ‘O Ameer al-Mu’mineen, I benefit from his work and he keeps his religion to himself.’ He said, ‘I will never honour them when Allaah has humiliated them, and I will never bring them close to me when Allaah has expelled them from His mercy.’”

[This is a clear proof, that Muslims can’t be friend of Non-Muslim. This is further approved by Islamic apologists who want this world to be ruled with Sharia Law, see what law Islamic apologist propose to India. They say, “The Whole of India is in Fact [a] Muslim Land, the Authority Belongs to… [Muslims] and That They Should Take It From the Current Ruling Party to Implement the Shari’ah… Instead [of] Begging for Rights from the Hindus, the Muslims in India Must Govern By the Law of the Creator Allah”] [Source]

Similarly, we should not employ them in Muslim homes where they can see our private matters and they bring our children up as kaafirs. This is what is happening nowadays when kaafirs are brought to Muslim countries as workers, drivers, servants and nannies in Muslim homes and families.

Neither should we send our children to kaafir schools, missionary institutions and evil colleges and universities, or make them live with kaafir families.

Imitating the kaafirs in dress, appearance, speech, etc., because this indicates love of the person or people imitated. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”

It is forbidden to imitate the kaafirs in customs, habits and matters of outward appearance and conduct that are characteristic of them. This includes shaving the beard, letting the moustache grow long, and speaking their languages, except when necessary, as well as matters of clothing, food and drink, etc.

[ Allah forbids Muslims even to live in Infidel’s country, state or house. Muslims are also forbidden to send their children in Infidels school. Now I guess, why most of the Muslims are illiterate and uncivilized. Muslim world has much less universities and Schools in comparison to Non-Islamic world. So, Muslims prefer there children to be illiterate, rather that sending them to Non-Muslim schools and colleges.]

Staying in their countries when there is no need to do so. Allaah forbade the weak and oppressed Muslims to stay among the kaafirs if they are able to migrate. He says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): ‘In what (condition) were you?’ They reply, ‘We were weak and oppressed on earth.’ They (angels) say: ‘Was not the earth of Allaah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?’ Such men will find their abode in Hell –what an evil destination! Except the weak ones among men, women and children, who cannot devise a plan, nor are the able to direct their way.” [al-Nisa’ 4:97-98].

Nobody will be excused for staying in a kaafir country except for those who are truly weak and oppressed and cannot migrate, or those who stay among them for a valid religious purpose such as da’wah and spreading Islam in their countries.

It is forbidden to live among them when there is no need to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I disown the one who stays among the mushrikeen.”

Travelling to their countries for vacations and leisure purposes. But going there for a legitimate reason – such as medical treatment, trade, and learning specialized skills that cannot be obtained in any other way – is permitted in cases of need, and when the need has been fulfilled, it is obligatory to return to the Muslim world.

This permission is also given under the condition that the would-be traveller has sufficient knowledge to dispel his doubts, to control his physical desires, to demonstrate his religion, to be proud of being Muslim, to keep away from evil places, and to be aware and cautious of the plots of his enemies. It is also permissible, and even obligatory, to travel to their lands for the sake of da’wah and spreading Islam.

Praising them and their civilization and culture, defending them, and admiring their behaviour and skills, without taking note of their false ideology and corrupt religion. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (disbelievers), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.” [Ta-Ha 20:131]. It is also forbidden to honour them, give them titles of respect, initiate greetings to them, give them the best seats in gatherings, and give way to them in the street. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not be the first to greet a Jew or a Christian (do not initiate the greeting), and if you meet one of them in the street, then push him to the narrowest part of the way.”

Forsaking the Islamic calendar and using their calendar, especially since it reflects their rituals and festivals, as is the case with the Gregorian (Western) calendar, which is connected to the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah (peace be upon him), which is an innovation that they have fabricated and that has nothing to do with the religion of ‘Eesa (Jesus). Using this calendar implies approval of their festivals and symbols.

In order to avoid all of that, when the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) established a calendar for the Muslims during the time of ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), they ignored all the systems of the kuffaar and created a new calendar starting from the date of the Prophet’s Hijrah. This indicates that it is obligatory to differ from the kuffaar in this matter and others where it is the matter of distinct characteristics. And Allaah is the Source of Help.

Taking part in their holidays and festivals, helping them to celebrate them, congratulating them on these occasions or attending places where such celebrations are held. The phrase al-zoor [falsehood] in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning) “And those who do not witness falsehood…” [al-Furqaan 25:72] was interpreted as meaning the festivals of the kuffaar.

Using their names that have bad meanings. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) changed names whose meanings involved shirk, such as ‘Abd al-‘Uzza and ‘Abd al-Ka’bah.

Seeking forgiveness for them and asking Allaah for mercy for them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allaah’s forgiveness for the mushrikeen, even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in s state of disbelief).” [al-Tawbah 9:113]

These examples should give a clear picture of what is meant by the prohibition of forming close friendships with the kaafirs. We ask Allaah to keep our belief sound and our faith strong. And Allaah is the Source of Help.

Conclusion:-

After going through the details provided by Islamic apologists and Islamic scriptures do I need to write any thing else? We come to know that Allah has forbidden Muslims to be friend of Non-Muslims. They are also forbidden to imitate us in anything, and sending their children to our school. Muslims can’t live in Non-Islamic country, and if they live, they need to demand Sharia Law in that country. Muslims can’t praise Non-Muslims, their culture, and their skill. Muslims should not celebrate Non-Muslim’s festivals and should not seek forgiveness from us. Muslims are only allowed to travel in Non-Islamic country, when they are going to spread Islam over there, and will then return to Muslim world. If any Muslim does not do all the above stated thing, then Allah and his prophet is going to disown them.

To me the conclusion if full of hatred for us, and no other religion ever commands its believers to do all these, which Allah wants from his believers.

Is Earth Egg Shaped as Per Qur’an?

6 Comments

Islamic scholars and apologists claim, “The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions.  These are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth and in the Universe.  What’s most amazing is that all of these scientific statements and notions had been proven to be in perfect agreement with science and our modern-day scientific discoveries.  Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood.  The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.” [Source]

Earth is Egg Shaped as per Notable Islamic scholars like Zakir Naik

Earth is Egg Shaped as per Notable Islamic scholars like Zakir Naik

Let’s analyse this claim, in light of Lexicon Arabic Dictionaries, and narrations of Muhammad. I’ll start with quoting the verse, which claims earth to be egg shaped in Qur’an. See Qur’an Ch 79, Verse 30, which reads:-

Transliteration

Wal-arda baAAda thalikadahaha

Sahih International
And after that He spread the earth.

 I don’t know why Sahih International translates the word ‘Dahaha’ as Spread out here. They must have misunderstood the word, so we can rely on other Muslim Translators of Qur’an. Almost all other translation by Islamic scholars are as follows:

Muhsin Khan
And after that He spread the earth;
Pickthall
And after that He spread the earth,
Yusuf Ali
And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
Shakir
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
Dr. Ghali
And the earth, after that He flattened it (for life).

 This is really amazing, why not a single Scholar translates the word as Egg Shaped or Spherical etc. But yes, we do have scholars like Dr. Zakir Naik, and Bassam Zawadi who do translates the word ‘Dahaha’ as egg shaped. Now, to know whether their claim is true or not, we have to rely on Qur’anic dictionaries and Lexicon Arabic Dictionaries. Lets see how Lane Lexicon dictionary explains this word Dahaha. See the explanation below:-

Daha (., MM_b;,, 1,) first pers. Dahouth aor, yad’hoo inf. N. dahoo He spread; spread out, or forth; expanded; or extended; (S, Msb, K; ) a thing; (K; ) and, when said of God, the earth; (Fr, S, Mb, 1V; ) As also daha first pers. dahaithu (K in art. daha) aor. yaad’heae inf. n. dahae: (Msb, and K in art. dahae : ) or He (God) made the earth wide, or ample; as explained by an Arab woman of the desert to Sh: (TA : ) also, said of an ostrich, (S, TA,) he expanded, and made wide, (TA,) with his foot, or leg, the place where he was about to deposit his eggs: (S, TA : ) and, said of a man, he spread, &c., and made plain, even, or smooth. (TA in art. dhaha) [Source]

So, it is not egg as Few Islamic apologists claim, it is the place which Ostriches expand or stretch to lay eggs.  Daha does not mean eggs of Ostrich, but yes it is the laying place of the egg. Other meanings as per this above quote is, He spread out, or forth, or Expanded etc. None of these meanings resemble to the shape of Earth. Another dictionary which is quoted by Answering-Christianity team, to prove the word ‘Daha’ mean ‘Egg Shaped’body is Lisan Al Arab. Let’s also see what this dictionary says.

Lisan Al Arab says:– الأُدْحِيُّ و الإدْحِيُّ و الأُدْحِيَّة و الإدْحِيَّة و الأُدْحُوّة مَبِيض النعام في الرمل , وزنه أُفْعُول من ذلك , لأَن النعامة تَدْحُوه برِجْلها ثم تَبِيض فيه وليس للنعام عُشٌّ . و مَدْحَى النعام : موضع بيضها , و أُدْحِيُّها موضعها الذي تُفَرِّخ فيه .ِ

English Translation:- Translation: Al-udhy, Al-idhy, Al-udhiyya, Al-idhiyya, Al-udhuwwa:The place in sand where an ostrich lays its egg. That’s because the ostrich spreads out the earth with its feet then lays its eggs there, an ostrich doesn’t have a nest.

The above definition, again support my claim. It proves that Daha is the place on Earth, where Ostriches lays egg. Now, we will see another dictionary. It is Wehr-Coman Dictionary, pg 273 . It says:-

Daha-  To spread out, flatten, Level,  unroll. Here is the proof.

Daha

I think it must be clear by now that this claim is a hoax by Islamic scholars to fool people, all the Arabic dictionaries translates the word ‘Dahaha’ referring to a flat surface. Even if we accept that the word ‘Dahaha’ means ‘Egg Shaped’ or ‘Ostrich Egg’, then see how drastically the meaning of the complete verse changes:

The verse in Arabic says: Wal-arda baAAda thalikadahaha (Let us break this verse, and read it word-to-word with its meaning)

wal-arḍa – And the Earth

baʿda – after

dhālika – that

daḥāhā – Egg Shaped (Ostrich Egg)

Does this verse make any sense? If yes, then keep believing that Earth is Egg shaped as per Quran, because we can only show some open minded, and rational people the truth. It is not for those who are brain washed by Zakir Naik.

Is there any peaceful verse in Quran?

Leave a comment

0Quran-550x334-450x303Many Muslims as well as Non-Muslims quote some verses from Qur’an which preaches peace, and Non-Violence, while discussing Violent teaching of Islam. These people simply copy-paste from some Islamic site, which is a very desperate move to prove Islam is a Peaceful Religion. In this article I’ll show the real meaning of those so-called peaceful verses, using their context and the historical reasons behind the revelation of those alleged peaceful verse of Quran.

But let us see first, what mainly Islamic sites say about Qur’an and Peace. “Islam as a religion is totally committed to peace and security. It views with great contempt, breach of peace, anarchy, rioting and terrorism. Muslims as Ummah are a peace-loving community. Jehad under Islam is allowed subject to certain conditions.” [Daroolum-Deoband]

One another site says, “The very word ‘Islam’ (from the Arabic silm) connotes peace. According to a tradition of the Prophet, ‘Peace is Islam’ (Al-Bukhari). This means that peace is one of the prerequisites of Islam. Similarly, a Hadith states: A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hands people are safe. One of the attributes of God described in the Quran is‘As-Salam’, which means peace and security.’ That is to say that God’s Being itself is a manifestation of peace. Indeed, God is Peace (Al-Bukhari). In the Quran divine guidance is likened to the paths of peace. (5:16)” [Islam 101]

Before I proceed I would like to clear one misconception of Muslims and the author of above quote. It is not necessary that a man named ‘Satyavan’, which literally mean ‘Observer of Truth’, is truthful. In very same way it hardly matters what the word ‘Islam’ means, because its teaching, practices and actions of Muslim are incompatible with its meaning, i.e. peaceful. Leave aside the hadith example for now, because it is said that those Hadiths contradicts Quran are unauthentic, so by end of article readers will be convinced that the above quoted Hadith is unauthentic.

So by the above example, we see what Islamic scholar say about Islam and Peace, I agree there are very few verse which can be interpreted as peaceful verse in Qur’an. The very common verse which Muslims quote to prove Islam is a peaceful religion is2:256, which reads:-

Yusuf Ali

Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

This verse is usually quoted by Islamic scholar because it says ‘let there be no compulsion in religion.’ But this verse is not as peaceful as it sounds, and to prove it, let’s see the historical context of the verse. One of Islamic site explains this verse as following:-

The scholars explained that these two verses [10:99 and 2:256], and other similar verses, have to do with those from whom the jizyah may be taken, such as Jews, Christians and Magians (Zoroastrians). They are not to be forced, rather they are to be given the choice between becoming Muslim or paying the jizyah.

Other scholars said that this applied in the beginning, but was subsequently abrogated by Allaah’s command to fight and wage jihad. So whoever refuses to enter Islam should be fought when the Muslims are able to fight, until they either enter Islam or pay the jizyah if they are among the people who may pay jizyah. The kuffaar should be compelled to enter Islam if they are not people from whom the jizyah may be taken, because that will lead to their happiness and salvation in this world and in the Hereafter. Obliging a person to adhere to the truth in which is guidance and happiness is better for him than falsehood. Just as a person may be forced to do the duty that he owes to other people even if that is by means of imprisonment or beating, so forcing the kaafirs to believe in Allaah alone and enter into the religion of Islam is more important and more essential, because this will lead to their happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. This applies unless they are People of the Book, i.e., Jews and Christians, or Magians, because Islam says that these three groups may be given the choice: they may enter Islam or they may pay the jizyah and feel themselves subdued. ” [Source]

As we see in above explanation, that in verse 2:256, Allah is giving Non-Muslims a choice, between Islam or Jizyah, which Muslims say as  ‘No Compulsion in religion’. If the above given explanation is true then we can’t say that this verse is peaceful. Many Islamic scholars also believe that Qur’an 2:256 is abrogated by Qur’an 9:5-6, which clearly says Muslims to fight and kill the polytheists, and leave them when they become Muslim. There is a Hadith recorded in Sahih Bukhari, which also supports Quran 9:5-6, which reads:-

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25:

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 that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.”

So, we see that either the verse is abrogated by later revealed verse of sword, or does not mean the same which Muslims wants us to believe. Even the Sharia Law proves that, Muslims don’t practice this verse. Non-Muslims are not allowed to preach, build their House of Worship, or propagate their religion in Islamic country. [Source]

Another verse which is widely quoted by Muslims to prove that their religion support peace, and Non-Violence is Qur’an 109:6, which says:-

“For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.”

But when we look back into Historical Background of this verse, it again turns to be less polite verse, than it is said by Muslims. This verse was revealed when some Meccan leaders, Abu Jahl, Walid and others suggested compromise with Muhammad, and they said to Muhammad, that he can worship his God at the same time as the Meccan deities, or alternatively each year. [Historical Development of Qur’an, page 9]

They (Meccans) wanted peace from Muhammad, and wanted to create harmony among Muslims and Non-Muslims, but Allah instantly revealed this Chapter to reply those leaders, who demanded Harmony and Peace. So, as we see this verse is not peaceful, but was revealed to reply an offer made by Meccan leaders for peace.

Further regarding this verse, Ibn Abbas says:-

(Unto you your religion) of disbelief and ascribing partners to Allah, (and unto me my religion) Islam and faith in Allah. The verses of fighting then abrogated this and the Prophet (pbuh) did fight them’

So, even if we consider this verse peaceful, early Islamic scholars thinks says that this verse is abrogated, and prophet did fight those who did not accepted Islam.

The above quoted verse is followed by Qur’an 8:61, which says:-

 And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah . Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing.

Ibn Jalalayan in his explanation to this verse says:-

And if they incline to peace (read silm or salm, meaning, ‘settlement’), then incline to it, and conclude a pact with them: Ibn ‘Abbās said, ‘This has been abrogated by the “sword verse” [Q. 9:5]’; Mujāhid said, ‘This [stipulation] applies exclusively in the context of the People of the Scripture, for it was revealed regarding the Banū Qurayza; and rely on God, put your trust in Him; truly He is the Hearer, of words, the Knower, of actions.

So, again we reached to the same conclusion that even if handful of verses in Quran like 8:61, 2:256,109:6 etc are  peaceful verses, but they are abrogated by Qur’an 9:5. Finally we can say that the Peaceful verses in Qur’an are of Meccan period when Muhammad had very less followers, so Allah did not dared to reveal violent verses, and most of peaceful verses in Qur’an is abrogated by the verse of sword which was last to be revealed when Muhammad became strong, then Allah commanded Muslims to kill Non-Believers, until they embrace Islam or pay Jizyah, and feel themselves subdued. [Qur’an 9:5 and 9:29]

So the answer to the question: Is there any peaceful verse in Quran?

Ans: There were few peaceful verses in Quran revealed in Meccan period when Muhammad hardly had 70 followers, but later when he formed a monstrous army of hooligans ,marauders and raiders, then eventually Allah the shock puppet of Muhammad abrogated all the peaceful verses with the violent ones, and ordered Muhammad and his army to kill those who dared to be different in religious views.
