Islam.......A religion of PEACE>>>>>

[fatak]

Can someone please explain this........?


As Sura 9:29 of the Qur'an declares: "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 [a special higher tax rate] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

In my neighborhood these are fighting words.......!!!

salaam

This is one verse I've read at least 50 times. I'll let a muslim give their interpretation first and then I'll give how I interpret this verse.

Who knows.....we may see eye to eye on this one.

It seems pretty clear to me!

"Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low. "
9:29.

No comment on the verse or do you think it speaks for itself?

When you are stuck it is simpler to quote and hope nobody notices.
