It's hilarious how easily he claims that islam has been manipulated for political purposes avoiding the fact that islam itself was born as the political ideology with the certain political purposes. Just read the early chapters of the Quran as Mohammad was weak and didn't have the military power and compare it to the Madinah chapters as the prophet became a warlord.<br><br>Quran 9:29 one of the last ayat of Quran which abrogates the early peaceful ayat:<br>"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion of truth from among those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the tax, willingly submitting," fully humbled."<br><br>And remember the words of Mohammad himself:<br>Narrated Ibn 'Umar:<br>Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ)", and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.",(reply>), you are reading verses without context. did you know why this revelation was sent? what was happening? The Quran came down in a period of 23 years, to understand read through the order of revelation and what was happening before and after each revelation was sent, like a story of learn from,(reply>), @Mark Ward Exactly, thats why we have the following:<br>1. The hadith which I quoted - is Sahih hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari<br>2. This is the tafsir from imam Ibn Kathir to the 29th aya of Sura Tawbah:<br>"This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book,"<br>after the pagans were defeated", the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers,"<br>and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah<br>commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures"," Jews and<br>Christians", on the ninth year of Hijrah," and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and<br>called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his<br>intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces"," and he collected an army<br>of thirty thousand. Some people from Al-Madinah and some hypocrites", in and around it,"<br>lagged behind"," for that year was a year of drought and intense heat. The Messenger of<br>Allah marched", heading towards Ash-Sham to fight the Romans until he reached Tabuk,"<br>where he set camp for about twenty days next to its water resources."",(reply>), When was this said , to whom , in what context ; what did the early scholars say about this hadith. Remember every statement has a context.,(reply>), @Ozodbek Botiraliev У мусульман почему то все время вокруг одни заговоры, и если кто-то открыто говорит о том, что из себя представляет ислам, то для вас это сразу проплаченный человек,(reply>), @Illuminat. Интересно кто вам за то платит.
