    Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Chapter 75, Number 0309 -


    “... It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I was brought al-Buraq Who is an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule, who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of version. I mounted it and came to the Temple (Bait Maqdis in Jerusalem), then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets. I entered the mosque and prayed two rak'ahs in it, and then came out and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk, and Gabriel said: You have chosen the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. Gabriel then asked the (gate of heaven) to be opened and he was asked who he was. He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He (Gabriel) said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? Gabriel replied: He has indeed been sent for. And (the door of the heaven) was opened for us and lo! we saw Adam. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) (asked the door of heaven to be opened), and he was asked who he was. He answered: Gabriel; and was again asked: Who is with you? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened. When I entered 'Isa b. Maryam and Yahya b. Zakariya (peace be upon both of them), cousins from the maternal side, welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then I was taken to the third heaven and Gabriel asked for the opening (of the door). He was asked: Who are you? He replied: Gabriel. He was (again) asked: Who is with you? He replied Muhammad (may peace be upon him). It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and I saw Yusuf (peace of Allah be upon him) who had been given half of (world) beauty. He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then he ascended with us to the fourth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The (gate) was opened for us, and lo! Idris was there. He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being (About him) Allah, the Exalted and theGlorious, has said: “We elevated him (Idris) to the exalted position” (Qur'an xix. 57). Then he ascended with us to the fifth heaven and Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and then I was with Harun (Aaron-peace of Allah be upon him). He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken to the sixth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the door to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I was with Musa (Moses peace be upon him) He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven. Gabriel asked the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He said: Gabriel It was said. Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (may peace be upon him.) It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I found Ibrahim (Abraham peace be upon him) reclining against the Bait-ul-Ma'mur and there enter into it seventy thousand angels every day, never to visit (this place) again. Then I was taken to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha whose leaves were like elephant ears and its fruit like big earthenware vessels. And when it was covered by the Command of Allah, it underwent such a change that none amongst the creation has the power to praise its beauty. Then Allah revealed to me a revelation and He made obligatory for me fifty prayers every day and night. Then I went down to Moses (peace be upon him) and he said: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers. He said: Return to thy Lord and beg for reduction (in the number of prayers), for your community shall not be able to bear this burden. as I have put to test the children of Isra'il and tried them (and found them too weak to bear such a heavy burden). He (the Holy Prophet) said: I went back to my Lord and said: My Lord, make things lighter for my Ummah. (The Lord) reduced five prayers for me. I went down to Moses and said. (The Lord) reduced five (prayers) for me, He said: Verily thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden; return to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. I then kept going back and forth between my Lord Blessed and Exalted and Moses, till He said: There are five prayers every day and night. O Muhammad, each being credited as ten, so that makes fifty prayers. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him; and if he does it, it will be recorded for him as ten; whereas he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do, it will not be recorded for him; and if he does it, only one evil deed will be recorded. I then came down and when I came to Moses and informed him, he said: Go back to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: I returned to my Lord until I felt ashamed before Him. ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Chapter 75, Number 0313 -

    “... Anas b. Malik reported: Abu Dharr used to relate that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The roof of my house was cleft when I was in Mecca and Gabriel descended and opened my heart and then washed it with the water of Zamzam. He then brought a gold basin full of wisdom and faith and after emptying it into my breast, he closed it up. Then taking me by he hand, he ascended with me to the heaven, and when we came to the lowest heaven, Gabriel said to the guardian of the lowest heaven: Open. He asked who was there? He replied. It is Gabriel. He again asked when he there was someone with him. He replied: Yes, it is Muhammad with me. He was asked if he had been sent for, He (Gabriel) said: Yes. Then he opened (the gate). When we ascended the lowest heaven (I saw) a man seated with parties on his right side and parties on his left side. When he looked up to his right, he laughed and when he looked to his left, he wept. He said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and the righteous son. I asked Gabriel who he was and he replied: He is Adam (peace be upon him) and these parties on his right and on his left are the souls of his descendants. Those of them on his right are the inmates of Paradise and the parties which are on his left side are the inmates of Hell; so when he looked towards his right side, he laughed, and when he looked towards his left side, he wept. Then Gabriel ascended with me to the second heaven. He asked its guardian to open (its gate), and its guardian replied in the same way as the guardian of the lowest heaven had said. He (opened it). Anas b. Malik said: He (the Holy Prophet) mentioned that he found in the heavens Adam, Idris, Jesus, Moses and Abraham (may peace be on all of them), but he did not ascertain as to the nature of their abodes except that he had found Adam in the lowest heaven and Abraham in the sixth heaven. When Gabriel and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) passed by Idris (peace be upon him) he said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother. He (the narrator) said: He then proceeded and said: Who is he? Gabriel replied: It is Idris. Then I passed by Moses (peace be upon him) and he said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother. I said to (Gabriel): Who is he? He replied: It is Moses. Then I passed by Jesus and he said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous brother. I said (to Gabriel): Who is he? He replied: Jesus, son of Mary. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then I went to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). He said: Welcome to the righteous apostle and righteous son. I asked: Who is he? He (Gabriel) replied: It is Abraham. Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn 'Abbas and Abd Habba al-Ansari used to say that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Thereafter he ascended with me till I was taken to such a height where I heard the scraping of the pens. Ibn Hazm and Anas told that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Allah then made fifty prayers obligatory for my Ummah and I returned with that and passed by Moses. Moses, (peace be upon him) said: What has thy Lord enjoined on thy people? I said: Fifty prayers have been made obligatory on them. Moses (peace be upon him) said: Return to thy Lord, for thy Ummah would not be able to bear this burden. Then I came back to my Lord and He remitted a portion out of that. I then again went to Moses (peace be upon him) and informed him about it He said: Return to thy Lord, for thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden. I then went back to my Lord and He said: They are five and at the same time fifty, and what has been said will not be changed. I then returned to Moses and he said: Go back to thy Lord. whereupon I said: I feel ashamed of my Lord. Gabriel then travelled with me till we came to the farthest lote-tree Many a colour had covered it which I do not know. Then I was admitted to Paradise and saw in it domes of pearls, and its soil of musk. ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Chapter 75, Number 0314 -

    “... Anas b. Malik reported on the authority of Malik b. Sa sa', perhaps a person of his tribe, that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I was near the House (i. e. Ka'bah) in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such (part). Qatada said: I asked him who was with me (i e. the narrator) and what he meant by such and such (part). He replied: (It means that it was opened) up to the lower part of his abdomen (Then the hadith continues): My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position, after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called al-Buraq, bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it, and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (may peace be upon him). It was said: Has he been sent for? He (Gabriel) said: Yes. He (the Prophet) said: Then (the gate) was opened for us (and it was said): Welcome unto him! His is a blessed arrival. Then we came to Adam (peace be upon him). And he (the narrator) narrated the whole account of the hadith. (The Holy Prophet) observed that he met Jesus in the second heaven, Yahya (peace be on both of them) in the third heaven, Yusuf in the third, Idris in the fourth, Harun in the fifth (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). Then we travelled on till we reached the sixth heaven and came to Moses (peace be upon him) and I greeted him and he said: Welcome unto righteous brother and righteous prophet. And when I passed (by him) he wept, and a voice was heard saying: What makes thee weep? He said: My Lord, he is a young man whom Thou hast sent after me (as a prophet) and his followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers. Then we travelled on till we reached the seventh heaven and I came to Ibrahim. He (the narrator) narrated in this hadith that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him) told that he saw four rivers which flowed from (the root of the lote-tree of the farthest limits): two manifest rivers and two hidden rivers. I said: ' Gabriel! what are these rivers? He replied: The two hidden rivers are the rivers of Paradise, and as regards the two manifest ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates.Then the Bait-ul-Ma'mur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait-ul-Ma'mur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end. ...”​

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516 -

    “... Narrated Anas: Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The Prophet kept on saying (to him), “Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife.” Aisha said, “If Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of the Quran he would have concealed this Verse.” Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, “You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens.” And Thabit recited, “The Verse: – 'But (O Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha.” ...”​

    Ibn Ishaq, The Life Of Muhammad, A Translation of Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, page 463-464, 466 paragraphs 689,693 -

    “... [page 463 paragraph 689] When Sa'd reached the apostle and the Muslims the apostle told them to get up to greet their leader. The muhajirs of Quraysh thought that [page 463-464 paragraph 689] apostle meant the Ansar, while the latter thought that he meant everyone, so they go up and said, 'O Abu 'Amr, the apostle has entrusted to you the affair of your allies that you may give judgment concerning them.' Sa'd asked, 'Do you covenant by Allah that you accept the judgement I pronounce on them?' They said Yes, and he said, 'And is it incumbent on the one who is here?' (looking) in the direction of the apostle not mentioning him out of respect, and the apostle answered Yes. Sa'd said, 'Then I give judgement that the men should be killed, the property divided, and the women and children taken as captives.'

    'Asim b. 'Umar b. Qatada told me from 'Abdu'l-Rahman b. 'Amr b. Sa'd b. Mu'adh from 'Alqama b. Waqqas al-Laythi that the apostle said to Sa'd, 'You have given the judgment of Allah above the seven heavens' (709).

    Then they surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy b. Akhtab and Ka'b b. Asad their chief. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Ka'b what he thought would be done with them. He replied, 'Will you never understand? Don't you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!' This went on until the apostle made an end of them.

    Huyayy was brought out wearing a flowered robe (710) in which he had made holes about the size of the finger-tips in every part so that it should not be taken from him as spoil,[1] with his hands bound to his neck by a rope. When he saw the apostle he said, 'By God, I do not blame myself for opposing you, but he who forsakes God will be forsaken.' Then he went to the men and said, 'God's command is right. A book and a decree, and massacre have been written against the Sons of Israel.' Then he sat down and his head was struck off. …” [page 464 paragraph 689]

    [page 466 paragraph 693] “… It was the first booty on which lots were cast and the fifth was taken. According to its precedent and what the apostle did the divisions were made, and it remained the custom for raids.

    Then the apostle sent Sa'd b. Zayd al-Ansari brother of b. 'Abdu'l-Ashhal with some of the captive women of B. Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons.

    The apostle had chosen one of their women for himself, Rayhana d. 'Amr b. Khunafa, one of the women of B. 'Amr b. Qurayza, and she remained with him until she died, in his power. The apostle had proposed to marry her and put a veil on her, but she said: 'Nay, leave me in your power, for that will be easier for me and for you.' So he left her. She had shown repugnance towards Islam when she was captured and clung to Judaism. ...”​

    [14] Islam teaches that 'Isa is not one person of the “three” persons [Father, Son and Holy Spirit], and that their “Allah” is not a 'father' [having no son, nor children], nor is their 'Isa the son of the father, and their 'Holy' Spirit [Ruh] is not Divine, but rather is “Jibril” [a created 'angel'] [in most instances, not always], but Muslims believe, because the Qur'an teaches that “Christians” believe that the “trinity” [loose def.] is made up of “Father (Allah), Mother (Maryam) and their Son, “'Isa” who was supposed to have come through [a form of] sexual copulation, like the pagan mythos of Zeus, Hercules, Horus, Isis, etc.):

    Al Nisa' 4:171 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.171] O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Ruh) [2] created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. [3] ...”

    [Sidenote, the Arabic doesn't actually say "trinity", but just "three", but it comes through implication.]

    Al Ma'idah 5:73 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.73] Surely, disbelievers are those who said: Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no Ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -- Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them. ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:116 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.116] And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All-knower of all that is hidden (and unseen).” ...”

    [Sidenote, Islam, even a qur'an, literally teaches that Christians teach that Maryam [Mary] is the girlfriend of Allah, who had relations of which came Jesus through physical union ...]

    * (Yusuf-Ali translation notes on Al Ma'idah 5:116) -

    “... 829 Jesus disclaims here any knowledge of the sort of things that are attributed to him by those who take his name. The worship of Mary, though repudiated by the Protestants, was widely spread in the earlier Churches, both in the East and the West. ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:117 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... “Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world.) ...”​

    [15] Islam teaches that the 'Isa of the Qur'an will appear in the last day to destroy Christians [“Cross”, wearers/followers] and Jews [cursed into “rats”, “apes”, “pigs”, "mastigure", etc] and abolish the Jizyah [extortion to live, thus only two options remain, submit to Islam or perish]:

    Al Fatihah 1:7 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -


    "... [7] The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace [4], not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger [5] (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). [1],[2],[3] ..."​

    Al Ma'idah 5:60 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Say (O Muhammad to the people of the Scripture): “Shall I inform you of something worse than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and His Wrath, and those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, and those who worshipped Taghut[1] (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the Hell-fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world). ...”​

    *Al Saff 61:6 al-Hilali-Khan translation notes -

    “... B) Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah's Messenger said, “By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, surely, the son of Mary ['Isa (Jesus)] will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Qur'an (as a just ruler), and will break the Cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah [a tax taken from the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians), who are under the protection of a Muslim government. This Jizyah tax will not be accepted by 'Isa (Jesus) and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.” (See Fath Al-Bari, Page No. 304 and 305, Vol. 7), (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Hadith No. 425). ...”​

    Tafsir of al-Jalalayn on Al 'Imran 3:56-67 -

    “... [3:56] As for the disbelievers, I will chastise them with a terrible chastisement in this world, through being killed, taken captive and made to pay the jizya, and the Hereafter, in the Fire; they shall have no helpers, none to protect them from it. [3:57] But as for the believers, who do righteous deeds, He will pay them in full (yuwaffīhim, is also read nuwaffīhim, ‘We will pay them in full’) their wages. God loves not the evildoers, that is, He will chastise them. It is reported that God, exalted be He, sent him [Jesus] a cloud which raised him up, but his mother clutched to him in tears. He then said to her, ‘Verily, the Resurrection shall bring us together again’. This took place on the Night of Ordainment (laylat al-qadr) in the Holy House [of Jerusalem], when he was thirty three years old. His mother lived on after him for six years. The two Shaykhs [Bukhārī and Muslim] narrate a hadīth [in which it is stated] that he [Jesus] will descend when the Hour is nigh and will rule according to the Law of our Prophet [Muhammad], and that he will slay the false messiah and the swine, break the cross and impose the jizya. In a hadīth recorded by Muslim, he will remain for seven years; according to Abū Dāwūd al-Tayālisī, [he will remain for] forty years, and he will die and have prayers performed over him. It is possible that what is meant [by the forty years] is the total time he will have spent on earth, before he was raised and afterwards. ...”​

    Tafsir of al-Jalalayn on Al Ma'idah 5:78 -

    “... [5:78] Cursed were the disbelievers of the Children of Israel by the tongue of David, when he invoked God against them and they were transformed into apes — these were the people of Eilat — and by Jesus, son of Mary, when he invoked God against them and they were transformed into pigs — they were the ones [who ate] at the Table [cf. Q. 5:115, below] — that, cursing, was because of their disobedience and their transgression. ...”​

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, Number 656 -

    “... Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts). ...”​

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abu Huraira added “If you wish, you can recite (this verse of the Holy Book): – 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them.” (4.159) (See Fateh Al Bari, Page 302 Vol 7) ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Chapter 72, Number 0287 -

    “... Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my life, the son of Mary (may peace be upon him) will soon descend among you as a just judge. He will break crosses, kill swine and abolish Jizya and the wealth will pour forth to such an extent that no one will accept it. ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Chapter 72, Number 0289 -

    “... It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger or Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: I swear by Allah that the son of Mary will certainly descend as a just judge and he would definitely break the cross, and kill swine and abolish Jizya and would leave the young she-camel and no one would endeavour to (collect Zakat on it). Spite, mutual hatred and jealousy against one another will certainly disappear and when he summons people to accept wealth, not even one would do so. ...”​

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 524 -

    “... Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not see them except that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a she-camel in front of a rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a sheep is put in front of it, it will drink it." I told this to Ka'b who asked me, "Did you hear it from the Prophet ?" I said, “Yes.” Ka'b asked me the same question several times.; I said to Ka'b. “Do I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from the Prophet.)” ...”​

    “... Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: A group of Bani Isra'il was lost. I do not know what happened to it, but I think (that it 'underwent a process of metamorphosis) and assumed the shape of rats. Don't you see when the milk of the camel is placed before them, these do not drink and when the milk of goat is placed before them, these do drink. Abu Huraira said: I narrated this very hadith to Ka'b and he said: Did you hear this from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? I (Abu Huraira) said: Yes. He said this again and again, and I said: Have I read Torah? This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ishaq with a slight variation of wording. ...”​

Abu Huraira reported that the rat (is the result of) metamorphosis (of a group of Bani Isra'il) and the proof of this is that when the milk of goat is placed before it, it drinks it, and when the milk of the camel is placed before it, it would not taste it at all. Ka'b said: Did you hear it from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? Thereupon he said: Has Torah been revealed to me? ...”​

    Sunan Abu Dawud, Volume 4, Book 26, Chapter 27, Number 3795 -

    “... 3795. It was narrated that Thabit bin Wadi'ah said: “We were with the Messenger of Allah on a campaign, and we caught some mastigures. I roasted one of them, then I came to the Messenger of Allah and placed it before him. He took a stick and counted its toes, then he said: 'A nation among the Children of Israel was transformed into animals that go underground, and I do not know what kind of animal it was.' And he neither ate it nor forbade it.” (Sahih) ...”

    [Sidenote, a mastigure, like a uromastryx, etc, is a rock or desert lizard]

    [16] Islam teaches that 'Isa performed a miracle and spoke from out of his mothers womb [and told his mother to lie, eat but say you are fasting or vow of silence and that if anyone comes to you and hide the matter and say this [if a vow of silence how could she speak? if of food, it still a lie]], and from the “cradle” [from a gnostic gospel source], and another miracle of creating a living bird out of clay [neither of which the Scriptures [KJB] speak about Jesus]:

    Maryam 19:24-26 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    "... [v.24] Then [the babe 'Isa (Jesus) or Jibril (Gabriel)] cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you. [v.25] "And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you." [v.26] "So eat and drink and be glad. And if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day."..."​

    Al 'Imran 3:46 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.46]He ['Isa] will speak to the people in the cradle [2] and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous.” ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:110 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.110] (Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). “O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibril (Gabriel)] so that you spoke to the people in the cradle [1] and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay a figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) as you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'” ...”​

    Maryam 19:28-33 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.28] “O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) [1]! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman.” [v.29] Then she pointed to him. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?[2]” [v.30]He ['Isa (Jesus)] said: Verily I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet; [3] [v.31] And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live. [v.32] “And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.” [v.33] “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!” ...”​

    [Does this 'Isa still pay “Zakat” in the second Heaven? See Surah 19:31, “as long as I live”.]

    [17] Islam teaches that 'Isa received a book from Allah, the Injeel, in which was “guidance and light and confirmation” [they also teach that Ibrahim [mispelled 'Abraham'] received 10 books/scrolls]:

    Al Ma'idah 5:46 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.46] And in their footsteps, We sent 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), [3] confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqun (the pious – See V.2:2).​

    [18] Islam teaches that though Jesus Christ [of the Scriptures, KJB] could not possibly take upon Himself the sins of the world, the Islamic sources do teach a twisted version of vicarious atonement, but the sins of the Muslims, will be placed upon Jews and Christians in the hell fire:

    Sahih Muslim, Book 037, Chapter 8, Number 6665 -

    “... Abu Musa' reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When it will be the Day of Resurrection Allah would deliver to every Muslim a Jew or a Christian and say: That is your rescue from Hell-Fire. ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 037, Chapter 8, Number 6666 -

    “... Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire. 'Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz took an oath: By One besides Whom there is no god but He, thrice that his father had narrated that to him from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). ...”​

    Sahih Muslim, Book 037, Chapter 8, Number 6668 -

    “... Abu Burda reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians. (As far as I think), Abu Raub said: I do not know as to who is in doubt. Abu Burda said: I narrated it to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, whereupon he said: Was it your father who narrated it to you from Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)? I said: Yes. ...”​

    110 Hadith Qudsi -

    “... Allah’s Messenger said: On the Day of Resurrection, my Ummah (nation) will be gathered into three groups. One sort will enter Paradise without rendering an account (of their deeds). Another sort will be reckoned an easy account and admitted into Paradise. Yet another sort will come bearing on their backs heaps of sins like great mountains. Allah will ask the angels though He knows best about them: Who are these people? They will reply: They are humble slaves of yours. He will say: Unload the sins from them and put the same over the Jews and Christians: then let the humble slaves get into Paradise by virtue of My Mercy. ...”​

    [19] 'Isa, the so-called [Muslim] Jesus, the Ayah's of the Qur'an as plainly given -

    Al Baqara 2:87 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And indeed, We gave Musa (Moses) the Book and followed him up with a succession of Messengers. And We gave 'Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some you disbelieved and some you killed. ...”​

    Al Baqara 2:116 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And they (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children of offspring) [1]. Glory be to Him (Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). Nay, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on the earth, and surrender with obedience (in worship) to Him. ...”

    “... [1] (V.2:116) “They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: Allah has begotten a son (children, offspring). Glory be to Him ... Nay ....”

    Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, “Allah said, 'The son of Adam tells lies against Me though he has no right to do so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling lies against Me, he claims that I cannot re-create him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me: it is his statement that I have a son (or offspring) No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or a son (or offspring).'” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadith No. 9). ...”​

    Al Baqara 2:135-137 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.135] And they say, “Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided.” Say (to them O Muhammad), “Nay, (we follow) only the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), Hanifa [Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah (Alone)], and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (those who worshipped others along with Allah – see V.2:105).” [1] [v.136] Say (O Muslim), “We believe in Allah and that which was been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishamel), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Isa (Jesus), and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted (in Islam).” [v.137] So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided; but if they turn away, then they are only in opposition. So Allah will suffice for you against them. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. ...”​

    Al Baqara 2:253 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Those Messengers! We preferred some of them to others; to some of them Allah spoke (directly); others He raised to degrees (of honour); and to 'Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), We gave clear proofs and evidences, and supported him with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. If Allah had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought against each other, after clear Verses of Allah had come to them, but they differed – some of them believed and others disbelieved. If Allah had willed, they would not have fought against one another, but Allah does what He likes. ...”​

    Al 'Imran 3:43-71 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.43] O Mary! “Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord (Allah, by worshipping none but Him Alone) and prostrate yourself, and Irka'i (bow down) along with Ar-Raki'un (those who bow down).” [v.44] This is a part of the news of the Ghaib (unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge) which We reveal to you (O Muhammad). You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed. [v.45] (Remember) when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word [“Be!” – and he was! i.e. 'Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah.” [v.46] “He will speak to the people in the cradle [2] and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous.” [v.47] She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me.” He said: “So (it will be) for Allah creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: “Be!” – and it is. [v.48] And He (Allah) will teach him ['Isa (Jesus)] the Book and Al-Hikmah (i.e. the Sunnah, the faultless speech of the Prophets, wisdom), (and) the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel). [v.49] And will make him ['Isa (Jesus)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (Saying): “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe. [v.50] And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Taurat (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me. [v.51] Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so Worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path. [v.52] Then when 'Isa (Jesus) came to know of their disbelief, he said: “Who will be my helpers in Allah's Cause?” Al-Hawariyyun (the disciples) said: “We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are Muslims (i.e. we submit to Allah).” [v.53] Our Lord! We believe in what You have sent down, and we follow the Messenger ['Isa (Jesus)]; so write us down among those who bear witness (to the truth i.e. La ilaha illallah – none has the right to be worshipped but Allah). [v.54] And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Isa (Jesus)], and Allah plotted too. And Allah is the Best of those who plot. [v.55] And (remember) when Allah said: “O 'Isa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that 'Isa (Jesus) is Allah's son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allah) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allah, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad, 'Isa (Jesus), Musa (Moses), etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Qur'an] till the Day of Resurrection [1]. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute.” [v.56] “As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.” [v.57] And as for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah) and do righteous good deeds, Allah will pay them their reward in full. And Allah does not like the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers). [v.58] This is what We recite to you (O Muhammad) of the Verses and the Wise Reminder (i.e. the Qur'an). [v.59] Verily, the likeness of 'Isa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: “Be!” – and he was. [v.60] (This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt. [v.61] Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Isa (Jesus)] after (All this) knowledge that has come to you [i.e. 'Isa (Jesus) being a slave of Allah, and having no share in Divinity], say: (O Muhammad) “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves – then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allah upon those who lie.” [v.62] Verily! This is the true narrative [about the story of 'Isa (Jesus)], and La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the One and the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son). And indeed, Allah is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. [v.63] And if they turn away (and do not accept these true proofs and evidences), then surely, Allah is All-Aware of those who do mischief. [v.64] Say (O Muhammad): “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah [1]. Then, if they turn away, say: “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” [v.65] O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Why do you dispute about Ibrahim (Abraham), while the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) were not revealed till after him? Have you then no sense? [v.66] Verily, you are those who have disputed about that of which you have knowledge. Why do you then dispute concerning that of which you have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and you know not. [v.67] Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism – to worship none but Allah Alone) and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (See V.2:105)[1]. [v.68] Verily, among mankind who have the best claim to Ibrahim (Abraham) are those who followed him, and this Prophet (Muhammad) and those who have believed (Muslims). And Allah is the Wali (Protector and Helper) of the believers. [v.69] A party of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish to lead you astray. But they shall not lead astray anyone except themselves, and they perceive not. [v.70] “O people of the Scripture! (Jews and Christians): Why do you disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah, [the Verses about Prophet Muhammad present in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] while you (Yourselves) bear witness (to their truth).” [v.71] “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Why do you mix truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know?”[1] ...”​

    Al 'Imran 3:84-85 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.84] Say (O Muhammad): “We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us, and what was sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishamel), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob) and Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)] and what was given to Musa (MOses), 'Isa (Jesus) and the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between one another among them and to him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam).” [v.85] And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers [1]. ...”​

    Al Nisa' 4:156-159,163,171-172 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.156] And because of their (Jews) disbelief and uttering against Maryam (Mary) a grave false charge (that she has committed illegal sexual intercourse); [v.157] And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Isa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain knowledge), they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]: [v.158] But Allah raised ['Isa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. [v.159] And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him ['Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being' [1] before his ['Isa (Jesus) or a Jew's or a Christian's] death [2] (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Isa (Jesus)] will be a witness against them. ...”

    “... [1] (v.4:159) See the footnote of (V.3:55)

    [2] (V.4:159) – “Before his death,” has two interpretations: before Jesus' death after his descent from the heavens, or a Jew's or a Christians death, at the time of the appearance of the Angel of Death when he will realize that 'Isa (Jesus) was only a Messenger of Allah, and had no share in Divinity. ...”​

    “... [v.163] Verily, We have sent the revelation to you (O Muhammad)[3] as We sent the revelation to Nuh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) sent the revelation to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishamel), Ishaq (Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and Al-Asbat [the offspring of the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], 'Isa (Jesus), Ayyub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron), and Sulaiman (Solomon); and to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms). ...”

    “... [v.171] O people of the Scripture (Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Ruh) [2] created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs. [3] [v.172] The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave of Allah, nor the angels who are near (to Allah). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together unto Himself. ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:17-19 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.17] Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary)[3]. Say (O Muhammad): “Who then has the least power against Allah, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?” And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. [v.18] And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: “we are the children of Allah and His loved ones.” Say: “Why then does He punish you for your sins?” Nay, you are but human beings of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes who He wills. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them; and to Him is the return (of all). [v.19] O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Now has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad) making (things) clear unto you, after a break in (the series of) Messengers, lest you say: “There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no warner.[1]” But now has come unto you a bring of glad tidings and a warner. And Allah is Able to do all things. ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:46-51 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.46] And in their footsteps, We sent 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), [3] confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for Al-Muttaqun (the pious – See V.2:2). [v.47] Let the people of the Injeel (Gospel) judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed (then) such (people) are the Fasiqun [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree)] to Allah. [v.48] And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'an) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhaymin (trustworthy in highness and a witness) over it (old Scriptures)[1]. So judge among them by what Allah has revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If Allah has willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so complete in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to Allah; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ. [v.49] And so judge (you O Muhammad) among them by what Allah has revealed and follow not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad) far away from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. And if theyturn away, then know that Allah's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of them are Fasiqun (rebellious and disobedient to Allah). [v.50] Do they then seek the judgement of (the days of) Ignorance?[2] And who is better in judgment than Allah for a people who have firm Faith. [v.51] O you who beleive! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliya' of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliya'), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:72-82 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.72] Surely, they have disbelieved who say: “Allah is the Messiah ['Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary).” But the Messiah ['Isa (Jesus)] said: “O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode [1]. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. [v.73] Surely, disbelievers are those who said: “Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity).” But there is no Ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -- Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall on the disbelievers among them. [v.74] Will they not turn with repentance to Allah and ask His Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [2] [v.75] The Messiah ['Isa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqaah [i.e. she believed in the Words of Allah and His Books (See Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to them; yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth). [v.76] Say (O Muhammad to mankind): “How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or benefit you? But it is Allah Who is the All-Hearer, All-Knower.” [v.77] Say (O Muhammad): “O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray before and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path.” [v.78] Those among the Children of Israel [1] who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds. [v.79] They used not to forbid one another from Al-Munkar (wrong, evil-doing, sins, polytheism, disbelief) which they committed. Vile indeed was what they used to do. [v.80] You see many of them taking the disbelievers as their Auliya' (protectors and helpers). Evil indeed is that which their ownselves have sent forward before them; for that (reason) Allah's Wrath fell upon them, and in torment they will abide. [v.81] And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet (Muhammad) and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as Auliya' (protectors and helpers); but many of them are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). [v.82] Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikun,[1] and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: “We are Christians.” That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud. ...”​

    Al Ma'idah 5:110-118 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.110] (Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection). “O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favour to you and to your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibril (Gabriel)] so that you spoke to the people in the cradle [1] and in maturity; and when I taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay a figure like that of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it, and it became a bird by My Permission, and you healed those born blind, and the lepers by My Permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My Permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you (when they resolved to kill you) as you came unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'” [v.111] And when I (Allah) revealed to Al-Hawariyyun (the disciples) [of 'Isa (Jesus)] to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: “We believe. And bear witness that we are Muslims.” [v.112] (Remember) when Al-Hawariyyun (the disciples) said: “O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Can your Lord send down to us a table spread (with food) from heaven?” 'Isa (Jesus) said: “Fear Allah, if you are indeed believers.” [v.113] They said: “We wish to eat thereof and to satisfy our hearts (to be stronger in Faith), and to know that you have indeed told us the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses.” [v.114] 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: “O Allah, our Lord! Send us from the heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us – for the first and the last of us – a festival and a sign from You; and provide us with sustenance, for You are the Best of sustainers.” [v.115] Allah said: “I am going to send it down unto you, but if any of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment such as I have not inflicted on anyone among (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).” [v.116] And (remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): “O 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?'” He will say: “Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All-knower of all that is hidden (and unseen).” [v.117] “Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allah) did command me to say: 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things.” (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world). [v.118] “If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise[1].” ...”​

    Al An'am 6:85 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And Zakariya (Zachariya), and Yahya (John) and 'Isa (Jesus) and Iliyas (Elias), each one of them was the righteous. ...”​

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29-32 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.29] Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. [v.30] And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth! [3] [v.31] They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] to worship none but One Ilah (God – Allah) La ilahal illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)[1]. Praise and glory be to Him (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).” [v.32] They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's Light (with which Muhammad has been sent – Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafirun (disbelievers) hate (it). ...”​

    Maryam 19:16-37 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.16] And mention in the Book (the Qur'an, O Muhammad, the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. [v.17] She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibril (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. [v.18] She said: “Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah.” [v.19] (The angel) said: “I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son.” [v.20] She said: “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?” [v.21] He said: “So (it will be), your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).'” [v.22] So she conceived him, [1] and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem). [v.23] And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: “Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!” [v.24] Then [the babe 'Isa (Jesus) or Jibril (Gabriel)] cried unto her from below her, saying: “Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you.” [v.25] “And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you.” [v.26] “So eat and drink and be glad. And if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'” [v.27] Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: “O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyy (a mighty thing).” [Tafsir At-Tabari] [v.28] “O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) [1]! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman.” [v.29] Then she pointed to him. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?[2]” [v.30] “He ['Isa (Jesus)] said: “Verily I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet; [3]” [v.31] “And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live.” [v.32] “And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest.” [v.33] “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!” [v.34] Such is 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (It is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). [v.35] It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Isa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted) be He (above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it: “Be!” – and it is. [4] [v.36] ['Isa (Jesus) said]: “And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets),” [Tafsir At-Tabari] [v.37] Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Isa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Isa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the Meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire)[1]. ...”​

    Maryam 19:85-93 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.85] The Day We shall gather the Muttaqun (the pious – See V.2:2) unto the Most Gracious (Allah), like a delegation (presented before a king for honour). [v.86] And We shall drive the Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) to Hell, in a thirsty state (like a thirsty herd driven down to water). [v.87] None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from the Most Gracious (Allah). [v.88] And they say: “The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Isa (Jesus)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (Angels and others)].” [v.89] Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. [v.90] Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. [v.91] That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Gracious (Allah). [v.92] But it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the Most Gracious (Allah) that He should beget a son (or offspring or children). [v.93] There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious (Allah) as a slave. ...”​

    Al Mu'Minun 23:50 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And We made the son of Maryam (Mary) and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams. ...”​

    Al Ahzab 33:7 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And (remember) when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from you (O Muhammad), and from Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses), and 'Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary). We took from them a strong covenant. [2] ...”​

    Al Shura 42:13 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... He (Allah) has ordained for you the same religion (Islamic Monotheism) which He ordained for Nuh (Noah), and that which We have revealed to you (O Muhammad), and that which We ordained for Ibrahim (Abraham), Musa (Moses) and 'Isa (Jesus) saying you should establish religion (i.e. to do what it orders you to do practically), and make no divisions [1] in it (religion) (i.e. various sects in religion). Intolerable for the Mushrikun,[2] is that (Islamic Monotheism) to which you (O Muhammad) call them. Allah chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides unto Himself who turns to Him in repentance and in obedience. …”​

    Al Zukhruf 43:57-65 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.57] And when the son of Maryam (Mary) is quoted as an example [i.e. 'Isa (Jesus) is worshipped like their idols], behold, your people cry aloud (laugh out at the example). [v.58] And say: “Are our alihah (gods) better or is he ['Isa (Jesus)]?” They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people. (See V.21:98-101) [v.59] He ['Isa (Jesus)] was not more than a slave. We granted Our Favour to him, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel (i.e. his creation without a father). [v.60] And if it were Our Will, We would have [destroyed you (mankind) all, and] made angels to replace you on the earth. [Tafsir At-Tabari]. [v.61] And he ['Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam) Mary)] shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour (Day of Resurrection) [i.e. 'Isa's (Jesus) descent on the earth], [1] Therefore have no doubt concerning it (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). And follow Me (Allah) (i.e. be obedient to Allah and do what He orders you to do, O mankind)! This is the Straight Path (of Islamic Monotheism, leading to Allah and to His Paradise). [v.62] And let no Shaitan (satan) hinder you (from the right religion, i.e. Islamic Monotheism). Verily, he (Satan) to you is a plain enemy. [v.63] And when 'Isa (Jesus) came with (Our) clear Proofs, he said: “I have come to you with Al-Hikmah (Prophethood), and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ. Therefore fear Allah and obey me. [v.64] “Verily, Allah! He is my Lord (God) and your Lord (God). So worship Him (Alone). This is the (only) Straight Path (i.e. Allah's religion of true Islamic Monotheism).” [v.65] But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong [by ascribing things to 'Isa (Jesus) that are not true] from the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! ...”​

    Al Hadid 57:27 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.27] Then, We sent after them Our Messengers, and We sent 'Isa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), and gave him the Injeel (Gospel). And We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but they did not observe it with the right observance. So We gave those among them who believed their (due) reward; but many of them are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah). [v.28] O you who believe [in Musa (Moses) (i.e. Jews) and 'Isa (Jesus) (i.e. Christians)]! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger (Muhammad), He will give you a double portion of His Mercy, and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight). And He will forgive you. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.[1] [v.29] So that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may know that they have no power whatsoever over the Grace of Allah, and that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand to bestow it on whosoever He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty. ...”​

    Al Saff 61:6 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And (remember) when 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), said: “O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming the Taurat [(Torah) which came] before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.[2] But when he (Ahmad i.e. Muhammad) came to them with clear proofs, they said: “This is plain magic.”[3] ...

    ... [2] (V.61:6) i.e. the second name of Prophet Muhammad and it (Ahmad) literally means: “One who praises Allah more than others”.

    [3] (V.61:6)

    A) Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im: Allah's Messenger said, “I have five names: I am Muhammad and Ahmad; I am Al-Mahi through whom Allah will eliminate Al-Kufr (infidelity); I am Al-Hashir who will be the first to be resurrected, the people being resurrected thereafter; and I am also Al-'Aqib (i.e. there will be no Prophet after me).” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 4, Hadith No. 732).

    B) Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah's Messenger said, “By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, surely, the son of Mary ['Isa (Jesus)] will shortly descend amongst you people (Muslims), and will judge mankind justly by the Law of the Qur'an (as a just ruler), and will break the Cross and kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah [a tax taken from the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians), who are under the protection of a Muslim government. This Jizyah tax will not be accepted by 'Isa (Jesus) and all mankind will be required to embrace Islam with no other alternative]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.” (See Fath Al-Bari, Page No. 304 and 305, Vol. 7), (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Hadith No. 425). ...”​

    Al Saff 61:14 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... O you who believe! Be you helpers (in the Cause) of Allah as said 'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), to the Hawariyyun (the disciples): “Who are my helpers (in the Cause) of Allah?” The Hawariyyun (the disciples) said: “We are Allah's helpers” (i.e. we will strive in His Cause!). Then a group of the Children of Israel believed and a group disbelieved. So We gave power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the victorious (uppermost). ...”​

    Al Jinn 72:1-4 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.1] Say (O Muhammad): “It has been revealed to me that a group (from thee to ten in number) of jinn [1] listened (to this Qur'an). They said: 'Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur'an)! [v.2] 'It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allah). [v.3] 'And He, exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, has taken neither a wife nor a son (or offspring or children).

    Looking at Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 in proper context:

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ...”

    Some of those [Muslim, and non] who attempt to say that the religion of Islam is a peaceful religion [such as the greeting "As-Salaam-Alaikum", which means "The peace [the way of Islam [which means submission, not peace] be upon you", which is not the same as scriptural [KJB] saying, "Peace [in the Way, Christ Jesus] be unto you", for Islamic peace is globalized Sharia, in other words, when the whole world is subjugated to Islamic Law [a Qur'an and Sunnah in governmentmental practice], and that such a verse was limited to the timeframe of the days of Muhammad, and limited to a specific period, peoples and region, and to read it any other way is to take it out of context. Is this true, or dangerously false and deceptive?


    Let's see the ayah in is proper context, and the basic teaching at the root of Islam:

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 73 -

    “... Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: Allah's Apostle said, “Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords.” ...”

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 79 -

    “... Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: On the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) the Prophet said, “There is no emigration after the Conquest but Jihad and intentions. When you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately.” (See Hadith No. 42) ...”

    [01] In order to be a true Muslim, it is written for them:

    Al Ahzab 33:36 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error. ...”

    Al Nisa' 4:65 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -


    “... But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. ...”

    [02] Al Tawbah or Bra'ah 9:29, Fight those who believe not in Allah:

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ...”

    [03] Does a Qur'an claim to be “clear”, or not, or do we need a special Muslimized scholar to re-interpret what the text plainly says some 1300 years later?

    Does Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 really mean what it says? Is it still relevant for today? Is it out of context???

    Is Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 clear [mubeen] even by simply reading it as it is? What does the Qur'an say of itself?:

    Al An'am 6:114 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [Say (O Muhammad)] “Shall I seek a judge other than Allah while it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (the Qur'an), explained in detail.” ...”

    Hud 11:1 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... (This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge), and then explained in detail from One (Allah) Who is All-Wise Well-Acquainted (with all things). ...”

    Yusuf 12:1 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -


    “... ... These are the Verses of the Clear Book (the Qur'an that makes clear the legal and illegal things, laws, a guidance and a blessing. ...”

    Al Nahl 16:89 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... ... And We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur'an) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allah as Muslims). ...”

    Al Naml 27:1 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... These are Verses of the Qur'an, and (it is) a Book (that makes things) clear: ...”

    Fussilat 41:3 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... A Book, whereof the Verses are explained in detail – a Qur'an in Arabic for people who know. ...”

    Al Hadid 57:9 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... It is He Who sends down manifest Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to His slave (Muhammad) that He may bring you out from darkness into light. And verily, Allah is to you full of kindness, Most Merciful. ...”

    [04] Let's look at the context:

    [04A] The Historical Context:

    [1] The Historical/Background Context, what was happening when a verse [Surah] of the Qur'an came or was given, was it meant for a limited time, or for all time, and are there any valid recognized and sustained sources [such as the Sahih Hadith, Tafsir, etc] which shed light upon the specific text at issue, etc:

    From Ibn Kathir, the greatest Commentator of/on the Qur'an:

    The Battles of the Prophet, by Ibn Kathir (Translated by Wa'il 'Abdul Mut'aal Shihab); pages 183-184 -

    [page 183] ... The Battle of Tabuk

    According to the scholars of Syirah, this battle took place in Rajab, in the 9th year of Hijra.

    Occasion of the Battle

    When 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 [page 183-184] 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.” (At-Tawbah: 28-29)

    Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) decided to fight the Romans in order to call them to Islam. Allah, Most-High, says, “O ye who believe! Fight the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.” (At-Tawbah: 123) ...”

    Non-Muslims were no longer allowed to take the pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca. The Christians and Jews, and others [Romans, pagans/polytheists] would have to pay whether they became Muslims or not [Jizyah]. Either way, the Muslims would be paid. Therefore, Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29, is a direct command to fight all unbelievers [non-Muslims] until they pay the Muslims.

    [04B] The Immediate/Local Context:

    [2] The Immediate/Local Context, what the surrounding verses and/or passages say in relation to the text under scrutiny, do the surrounding verses alter the meaning of a single isolated [possibly out of context] text or solidify the text in what it plainly says:

    Please notice that the surrounding context, begins [and explains it] just as Ibn Kathir gave it to us in the Historical Context:

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:28 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... O ye who believe (in Allah's Oneness and in His Messenger Muhammad! Verily, the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolators, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and in the Message of Muhammad) are Najasun (impure). So let them not come near Al-Masjidal-Haram (at Makkah [Mecca]) after this year; and if you fear poverty, Allah will enrich you if He wills, out of His Bounty. Surely, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:30 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah [Christ Jesus] is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allah Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth! ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:31 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they also took as their Lord) Messiah [Christ Jesus], son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] to worship none but One Ilah (God – Allah) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). Praise and glory be to Him (far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). ...”

    The Qur'an says that [the Islamic] 'God' [“Allah”] has no partners [see also Al Nisa' 4:48], yet according to the Bible [KJB], God [“Jehovah”], the Father and the Son are “fellow/s”, and so see [for a brief, and not exhaustive example], Zechariah 13:7, Proverbs 8:22-31 and Genesis 1:26, which reads:

    Zechariah 13:7 KJB - Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

    Proverbs 8:22 KJB - The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

    Proverbs 8:23 KJB - I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

    Proverbs 8:24 KJB - When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

    Proverbs 8:25 KJB - Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

    Proverbs 8:26 KJB - While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

    Proverbs 8:27 KJB - When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

    Proverbs 8:28 KJB - When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

    Proverbs 8:29 KJB - When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

    Proverbs 8:30 KJB - Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

    Proverbs 8:31 KJB - Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

    Genesis 1:26 KJB - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    Hebrews 1:6 KJB - And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

    Also the Testimony of Jesus Himself, in the Desire of Ages, pages 483-484:

    “... However much a shepherd may love his sheep, he loves his sons and daughters more. Jesus is not only our shepherd; He is our "everlasting Father." And He says, "I know Mine own, and Mine own know Me, even as the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father." John 10:14, 15, R. V. What a statement is this!--the only-begotten Son, He who is in the bosom of the Father, He whom God has declared to be "the Man that is My fellow" (Zechariah 13:7),--the communion between Him and the eternal God is taken to represent the communion between Christ and His children on the earth! {DA 483.2}

    Because we are the gift of His Father, and the reward of His work, Jesus loves us. He loves us as His children. Reader, He loves you. Heaven itself can bestow nothing greater, nothing better. Therefore trust. {DA 483.3}

    Jesus thought upon the souls all over the earth who were misled by false shepherds. Those whom He longed to gather as the sheep of His pasture were scattered among wolves, and He said, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd." John 10:16, R. V. {DA 483.4}

    "Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again." That is, My Father has so loved you, that [484] He even loves Me more for giving My life to redeem you. In becoming your substitute and surety, by surrendering My life, by taking your liabilities, your transgressions, I am endeared to My Father. {DA 483.5}

    "I lay down My life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again." While as a member of the human family He was mortal, as God He was the fountain of life for the world. He could have withstood the advances of death, and refused to come under its dominion; but voluntarily He laid down His life, that He might bring life and immortality to light. He bore the sin of the world, endured its curse, yielded up His life as a sacrifice, that men might not eternally die. "Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. . . . He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:4-6. {DA 484.1} ...”

    Clearly, the “Allah” [and also “Isa”] of the Qur'an and the “Jehovah” [Father/Ancient of Days, Emmanuel/Son/Jesus and Holy Ghost/Spirit] of the Scriptures [KJB] are not the same persons/beings, nor of the same character, nor purposes, and what the Allah of the Qur'an means by “merciful” and what the Bible [KJB] means by the same word are two completely opposing definitions.

    Continuing with the Qur'ans Immediate Context of Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:32 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's Light (with which Muhammad, has been sent – Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafirun (disbelievers) hate (it). ...”

    What does the Bible [KJB] say of this “Light” from the Qur'an, and this “Allah” and His Messenger [“Apostle”] Muhammad?

    2 Corinthians 11:13 KJB - For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

    2 Corinthians 11:14 KJB - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel [messenger] of light.

    2 Corinthians 11:15 KJB - Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

    Matthew 24:24 KJB - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

    Matthew 24:25 KJB - Behold, I have told you before.

    Matthew 24:26 KJB - Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:33 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolators, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it). ...”

    Therefore, this “Allah” of the Qur'an is going crush out [by fighting to the death, by killing, taking, raping, enslaving, subduing to pay the Jizyah, etc] all other persons of “religion” [whether pagans/polytheists, or those of the People of the Book, which they say is corrupted of the religion of the Jews and Christians] and that which is said [“mouth”, “say”] by them, because they refuse Islam [way of submission] and do not believe [are unbelievers in Allah and His Prophet/Apostle/Messenger – Muhammad].

    Is this true? What does the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir say on these passages?

    Tafsir Ibn Kathir, A compilation of the Abridged Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volumes 1-10, in the English Language with Arabic Verses, on Surah 9:30-31 -

    “... Fighting the Jews and Christians is legislated because They are Idolators and Disbelievers

    Allah the Exalted encourages the believers to fight the polytheists, disbelieving Jews and Christians, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted. As for the Jews, they claimed that 'Uzayr was the son of God, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him. As for the misguidance of Christians over 'Isa, it is obvious. This is why Allah declared both groups to be liars, (That is their saying with their mouths), but they have no proof that supports their claim, other than lies and fabrications, resembling), imitating, (the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime.) They imitate the previous nations who fell into misguidance just as Jews and Christians did, (may Allah fight them), Ibn 'Abbas said, “May Allah curse them.” (how they are deluded away from the truth!) how they deviate from truth, when it is apparent, exchanging it for misguidance. Allah said next, (They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Maryam) 9:31 (Imam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir At-Tabari recorded a Hadith via several chains of narration, from 'Adi bin Hatim, may Allah be pleased with him, who became Christian during the time of Jahiliyyah. When the call of the Messenger of Allah reached his area, 'Adi ran away to Ash-Sham, and his sister and several of his people were captured. The Messenger of Allah freed his sister and gave her gifts. So she went to her brother and encouraged him to become Muslim and to go to the Messenger of Allah. 'Adi, who was one of the chiefs of his people (the tribe of Tai') and whose father, Hatim At-Tai', was known for his generosity, went to Al-Madinah. When the people announced his arrival, 'Adi went to the Messenger of Allah wearing a silver cross around his neck. The Messenger of Allah recited this Ayah; (They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah). 'Adi commented, “I said, 'They did not worship them.'” The Prophet said, (Yes they did. They (rabbis and monks) prohibited the allowed for them (Christians and Jews) and allowed the prohibited, and they obeyed them. This is how they worshipped them.) ...”
    [04C] The Global/Whole Context:

    [3] The Global/Whole Context, what the whole book [Qur'an] itself in various other places, verse and/or passages, from beginning to ending have to say and/or relate upon the same subject, do these help to solidify [confirm] the text under scrutiny in what it plainly says, or do they alter any meanings of the text cited in isolation [possibly out of context]:

    The Historical Context, as well now also the Immediate Context all demonstrate the “plain” reading of Surah 9:29, and the clear command by “Allah” to the Muslims, to “fight” [to the death] those who do not “believe” [in Allah, Muhammad, Islam, Qur'an, etc]. All for simply disbelieving.

    Doesn't the Qur'an also say?

    Al Baqara 2:256 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... There is no compulsion in religion. ...”

    Al Kafirun 109:1-6 (Shakir translation) -


    “... [v.1] Say: O unbelievers! [v.2] I do not serve that which you serve, [v.3] Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve: [v.4] Nor am I going to serve that which you serve, [v.5] Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve. [v.6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion. ...”

    Yet, Surah 109:1-6, actually means according to the Islamic Tafsir of Ibn Kathir:

    Tafsir of Ibn Kathir, A compilation of the Abridged Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volumes 1-10, in the English Language with Arabic Verses. -

    “... (To you be your religion, and to me my religion. ) This is similar to Allah's statement, (And if they belie you, say: “For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!”') (10:41) and He said, (To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. ) (28:55) Al-Bukhari said, “It has been said, (To you be your religion. ) means disbelief. (and to me my religion. ) means, Islam. ...”

    … and disbelief means death and torture and eternal hellfire.

    How can these passages coexist with that which is already given herein?

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ...”

    Do not these Qur'anic verses [seemingly] contradict one another? No, they do not, for one must understand the manner in which the Qur'anic passages [ayah's] were given, and at what time and purposes each ayah serves under, for in the Qur'an itself, there are three stages of Jihad, along with the manner of abrogation, or forgetfulness.

    They truly cannot coexist simultaneously, except, as one understands the three stages of Jihad.

    How can there be three stages of Jihad and negation of previously [time-wise, the Qur'an is not written in chronological order, which is why the Hadith, Tafisr, etc are needed to truly understand it] given ayah's?

    Al Baqara 2:106 (Shakir translation) -

    “... Whatsoever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it. Do you not know that Allah has power over all things? ...”

    Al Nahl 16:101 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... And when We change a Verse (of the Qur'an,) in place of another – and Allah knows best what He sends down – they (the disbeliever) say: “You (o Muhammad) are but a Muftari! (forger, liar).” Nay, but most of them know not. ...”

    Sounds just like Roman Catholicism [which is the older system, of which Islam has ties to and roots in, to be demonstrated later]:

    Scripture [KJB] Daniel 7:25 -

    Daniel 7:25 KJB - And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

    Yet the Scripture [KJB] says of the True Jehovah God:


    Malachi 3:6 KJB - For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

    Proverbs 24:19 KJB - Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

    Proverbs 24:20 KJB - For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

    Proverbs 24:21 KJB - My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

    Proverbs 24:22 KJB - For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

    Psalms 102:25 KJB - Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

    Psalms 102:26 KJB - They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

    Psalms 102:27 KJB - But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

    Hebrews 1:8 KJB - But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

    Hebrews 1:9 KJB - Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

    Hebrews 1:10 KJB - And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

    Hebrews 1:11 KJB - They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

    Hebrews 1:12 KJB - And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

    Hebrews 13:5 KJB - Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

    Hebrews 13:6 KJB - So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

    Hebrews 13:7 KJB - Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

    Hebrews 13:8 KJB - Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

    Psalms 89:34 KJB - My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

    Well, since the various ayah's of the Qur'an are given over a period of years, and the later ayah's could abrogate/nullify the earlier ayah's, how do we know which came at the last, is it:

    Al Baqara 2:256 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) - “... There is no compulsion in religion. ...”,

    Al Kafirun 109:6 (Shakir translation) - “... You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion. ...”, or

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) - “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah ...”???

    According to the Sahih narrations of Muhammad, it was Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9, that was one of the last major Surah [the final marching orders as it were] that was given [Al Nasr 110, is claimed to be the last. minor - List of surahs in the Quran - Wikipedia ], and abrogates/alters the earlier Al Baqara 2 and Al Kafirun 109 statements, to complete a three stage Jihad.

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 129 [aka 4364] -

    “... Narrated Al-Bara: The last Sura that was revealed was Bara'a, and the last Verse that was revealed was: “They ask you for a legal verdict, Say: Allah's directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs.” (4.176) ...”

    [05] The Three Stages of Jihad:

    Therefore the Three Stages:

    [05A] Covert Jihad:

    [1] Covert Jihad

    The 'false front' of 'coexist' or 'to each his own' when outnumbered, same theology as Roman Catholicism, she tolerates where she is not in ascendancy:


    Al Kafirun 109:1-6 (Shakir translation) -

    “... [v.1] Say: O unbelievers! [v.2] I do not serve that which you serve, [v.3] Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve: [v.4] Nor am I going to serve that which you serve, [v.5] Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve. [v.6] You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion. ...”

    Muhammad, without yet having enough man-power, or army, goes around to the tribes around Mecca claiming 'peaceful coexistance', while at the same time, goes to the Quraysh [Quraish, his own tribes people] and says join him and they will rule over the others, the non-Arabs [Christians, Jews, Sabeans, etc] that he is claiming to desire peaceful relations with:

    At-Tabari, Volume VI, page 95 -

    “... Abu Talib sent for the Messenger of Allah, and when he came in he said, “Nephew, here are the shaykhs and nobles of your tribe. They have asked for justice against you, that you should desist from reviling their gods and they will leave you to your god.” “Uncle,” he said, “shall I not summon them to something which is better for them than their gods?” “What do you summon them to?” he asked. He replied, “I summon then to utter a saying through which the Arabs will submit to them and they will rule over the non-Arabs.” Abu Jahl said from among the gathering, “What is it, by your father? We will give you it and ten like it.” He answered, “That you should say, 'There is no deity but Allah.' ...”
    This is the practice of Taqiyya [generally a Shia [minority] tactic, moreso than Sunni [majority], who persecute Shia, thus [saving ones life at the cost of committing Shirk, the total opposite of what Scripture [KJB] says:

    Matthew 10:39 KJB - “He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.”

    Matthew 16:25 KJB - “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”

    Luke 12:8 KJB - Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

    Luke 12:9 KJB - But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.],
    yet a Qur'an says::

    Al Nahl 16:106 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at rest with Faith; but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a great torment. ...”
    Thus the concealment of the true intent behind the false front [like what the Jesuit order does, 'the ends justify the means']. Yet that is not the only intent of Taqiyya, amongst themselves, but also explicitly stated in use with unbelievers:

    Al 'Imran 3:28 (Pickthall translation) -

    “... Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless [it be] that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking [as it were] security. Allah Biddeth you beware [only] of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying. ...”
    Thus Muslims, are not to truly have friends which are not Muslims, unless they are outnumbered in any given area, and then only to pretend to take them as friends, until the Muslim numbers increase, in which the attitude openly changes. Ibn Kathir, one of the greatest Muslim commentators [even citing Al-Bukhari, another Sahih], and Abu Darda, one of Muhammad's companions, comments:

    Tafsir Ibn Kathir, A compilation of the Abridged Tafsir Ibn Kathir Volumes 1-10, in the English Language with Arabic Verses, translation and notation on Surah 3:28, etc -

    “... [PDF 744] The Prohibition of Supporting the Disbelievers

    Allah prohibited His believing servants from becoming supporters of the disbelievers, or to take them as comrades with whom they develop friendships, rather than the believers. Allah warned against such behavior when He said, [PDF 744-745] (And whoever does that, will never be helped by Allah in any way) meaning, whoever commits this act that Allah has prohibited, then Allah will discard him. Similarly, Allah said, (O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends, showing affection towards them), until, (And whosoever of you does that, then indeed he has gone astray from the straight path.) 60:1. Allah said, (O you who believe! Take not for friends disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest proof against yourselves) 4:144, and (O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as friends, they are but friends of each other. And whoever befriends them, then surely, he is one of them.) 5:51. Allah said, after mentioning the fact that the faithful believers gave their support to the faithful believers among the Muhajirin, Ansar and Bedouins, [PDF 745-746] (And those who disbelieve are allies of one another, (and) if you do not behave the same, there will be Fitnah and oppression on the earth, and a great mischief and corruption.) 8:73. Allah said next, (unless you indeed fear a danger from them) meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship outwardly but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari reported that Abu Ad-Darda said, 'We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, 'The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.' ...”

    Abu Darda (reported by Al-Bukhari) -

    “... We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them. ...”

    Al-Hasan (reported by Al-Bukhari) -


    “... Taqiyya is allowed until the Day of Resurrection. ...”

    According to Islam, the faithful Muslims are the best of peoples:

    Al 'Imran 3:110 (al-Hilali-Khan translation, shortened) -

    “... You [*faithful Muslims] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind. ...” [*shortened]

    Al 'Imran 3:110 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah and rebellious against Allah's Command). ...”

    While, the Jews and Christians [who do not believe Qur'an, Islam, Muhammad or Allah] are the worst of creatures:

    Al Bayyinah 98:6 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. ...”

    * notation in al-Hilali-Khan on Al Bayyinah 98:6, where it begins, “It is obligatory to have Belief in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad). ...” -

    “... Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah's Messenger said: “By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) but he will be from the dwellers on the (Hell) Fire. (Sahih Muslim, the Book of Faith, Vol. 1, Chapter No. 240). See also (V.3:85) and (V.3:116) ...”

    Al Fatiha 1:6-7 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.6] Guide us to the Straight Way.[3] [v.7] The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace[4], not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger[5] (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).[1],[2],[3]. …"
    Al Fatiha 1:6-7 al-Hilali-Khan translation notes -

    “... [5] Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim: I asked Allah's Messenger about the Statement of Allah: 1. “Gharil maghdubi 'alaihim (not the way of those who earned Your Anger),” he replied “They are the Jews”. And 2. “Walad dalin (nor of those who went astray),” he replied: “The Christians, and they are the ones who went astray.” [This Hadith is quoted by At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]. ...”

    Al-Adab al-Mufrad; Al-Bukhari; XDIII. The People of the Book; Section 512. When a Dhimmi writes and gives the greeting, he is answered -

    “... 1103. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Do not give the People of the Book the greeting first. Force them to the narrowest part of the road.” ...”

    Muslims, in Stage 1 Jihad, will claim 'Victim [persecuted] Status', a false cry of being persecuted for their belief when outnumbered:

    At-Tabari, Volume VI, page 93 -

    “... The Messenger of Allah proclaimed Allah's message openly and declared Islam publicly to his fellow tribesmen. When he did so, they did not withdraw from him or reject him in any way. … until he spoke of their gods and denounced them. When he did this, they took exception to it and united in opposition and hostility to him, except for those of them whom Allah had protected from error by means of Islam. ...”

    At-Tabari, Volume VI, page 101 -


    “... We have never seen the like of what we have endured from this man. He has derided our traditional values, abused our forefathers, reviled our religion, caused division among us, and insulted our gods. We have endured a great deal from him. ...”

    History of al-Tabari, Volume VI -

    “... “Hear men of Quraysh. By Him in whose hand Muhammad's soul rests I have brought you slaughter. ...”

    When the other pagans [Meccans] responded to Muhammad by returning the favor of mocking [or criticizing] his god or himself, it is then that they claimed they were being persecuted. This is the same manner of which the Jehovah's Witness organization partakes. When people call them a cult, they pull out the persecution card. It is when Muhammad was finally attacked after a while, it is then that others saw this and decided to join with him.

    [05B] Defensive Jihad:

    [2] Defensive Jihad

    When Muhammad had enough followers to equal his opponents, it was then that there was the command to 'defend' their territory, such as leaving Mecca and going to Yathrib/Medina to 'defend' it physically:

    Al Hajj 22:39-41 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... [v.39] Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged; and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory – [v.40] Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah." For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much would surely have been pulled down. Verily, Allah will help those who help His (Cause). Truly, Allah is All-Strong, All-Mighty. [v.41] Those (Muslim rulers) who, if We give them power in the land, (they) enjoin Iqamat-as-Salat [i.e. to perform the five compulsory congregational Salat (prayers) (the males in mosques)], to pay the Zakat and they enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and forbid Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism and all that Islam has forbidden) [i.e. they make the Qur'an as the law of their country in all the spheres of life]. And with Allah rests the end of (all) matters (of creatures). ...”

    The primary tactic is now, Terrorism, and now at this stage Muhammad began to attack the Meccan caravans, launching 7 attacks, of which the Meccans never retaliated, and during the 7th attack, the Muslims killed a man and took the goods and captives, all this during the Holy Month, when everyone had 'agreed' to not fight, yet Muhammad 'received' another verse in 'defense' of this action:

    Al Baqara 2:217 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say, "Fighting therein is a great (transgression) [*] but a great (transgression) with Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (at Makkah [Mecca]), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah [**] is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever. ...”

    * (as cited in al-Hilali-Khan translation notes on Surah 2:217) “... (V. 2:217) The provision of this Verse has been abrogated by Verse 9:36. Jihad cf., (V. 2:126). …”

    ** (as cited in al-Hilali-Khan translation notes on Surah 2:217) - “... Fitnah: polytheism and to disbelieve after one has believed in Allah, or a trial or a calamity or an affliction or to set up rivals in worship with Allah, etc. ...”

    Please notice, Muhammad did not say that attacking in the Holy Month was not transgression, he simply stated that being 'persecuted' in the Holy Month was a worse transgression and so warring or fighting, which is a transgression during that time, was allowed/overlooked, being the so-called lesser of two evils. Yet one transgression does not right another, even if the other is deemed worse. Satan is the originator of this belief, and is also found in Roman Catholicism, for even today it still practices these very things - [see here, and keep reading] Explain about atheists to me and Explain about atheists to me and so on ...


    The Meccans wanted peace, and yet Muhammad was not keeping to his agreement. The Meccans then sent an army to protect their caravans after this event. Muhammad attacked them and defeated them.

    Many of Muhammad's followers began to realize that something was not right, and now wanted to disfellowship from the way of Islam and Muhammad and their alliances. Muhammad began to order the assassination of critics who spoke out, or who wrote poems, etc, and murdered/attacked other non-muslim areas, places of Jews, etc.

    What constitutes an attack against Islam? Criticism, disfellowshipping [un-allying oneself], point to contradictions, abuses of power, etc, and what are the Muslims to return for it?

    Al Ma'idah 5:33 (Yusuf-Ali translation) -

    “... The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land [*] is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides [**], or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; ...”

    * (as cited in Yusuf-Ali's translation notes on Surah 5:33) - For the double crime of treason against the State, combined with treason against Allah, as shown by overt crimes, for alternative punishments are mentioned, any one of which is to be applied according to circumstances, viz., execution (cutting off of the head), crucifixion, maiming, or exile. These were features of the Criminal Law then and for centuries afterwards, except that tortures such as "hanging, drawing, and quartering" in English Law, and piercing of eyes and leaving the unfortunate victim exposed to a tropical sun, which was practised in Arabia, and all such tortures were abolished. In any case sincere repentance before it was too late was recognised as a round for mercy.

    ** (as cited in Yusuf-Ali's translation notes on Surah 5:33) - Understood to mean the right hand and left foot.

    [05C] Offensive Jihad:

    [3] Offensive Jihad

    When Muhammad began to outnumber the other tribes, peoples in an area, he then switched from the so-called 'defensive' stage to the outright 'offensive' stage, which means attacking any and all unbelievers [non-Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sabeans, etc.] or hypocrites [Muslims not really following Muhammad's teachings]

    Al 'Imran 3:32 (Shakir translation) -

    “... Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers. ...”
    Al Fath 48:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are severe against unbelievers, and merciful among themselves. ...”

    Al Ma'idah 5:51 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -


    “... O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Auliya of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Auliya), then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). ...”

    Muhammad 47:35 (Yusuf-Ali translation) -

    “... Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:5 (Pickthall translation) -

    “... Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them [captive], and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:73 (Shakir translation) -

    “... O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:111 (Shakir translation) -

    “... Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain. ...”

    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:123 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you; and know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious – See V.2:2). ...”
    Al Tawbah or Bara'ah 9:29 (al-Hilali-Khan translation) -

    “... Fight those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ...”

    Even the Sahih Hadith confirms this:

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24 -

    “... 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 doneby Allah.” ...”

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57 [aka 6922] -

    “... according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'” ...”

    Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 84, Number 58 [aka 6923] -

    “... Narrated Abu Burda: The Prophet then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu'adh reached him, he spread out a cushion for him and requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion). Behold: There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, “Who is this (man)?” Abu Muisa said, “He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism.” Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, “I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu Musa added, “Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.' ...”
