"Quran (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=9m38s"">9:38</a>-39) - "O ye who believe! what is the matter with you", that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter. Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place." This is a warning to those who refuse to fight, that they will be punished with Hell.<br><br>Quran (9:88) - "But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper."<br><br>Umar Suleiman was indeed a good Muslim only because he did not earnestly follow the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Muslims who do not participate in fighting in Allah's cause are called 'hypocrites' and are warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not participate in the slaughter. The Quran also promises the most severe punishment for those who believe in one part of the Quran, but not the other.<br><br>Quran (2:85) - “Then do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in the life of this world," and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.”<br><br>Quran (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=8m12s"">8:12</a>) - “Remember", when your Lord inspired the angels... "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"<br><br>Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."<br><br>Quran (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end." <br><br>The root word of "Jihad" in the Quran is clearly holy war, and the scope of violence is broadened to include "hypocrites" for those who call themselves Muslims but do not act as such. But still many Muslim apologists claim that Jihad means spiritual struggle. If so, then why are the blind," lame and sick exempted? This following verse also says that those who do not fight will suffer torment in hell.<br><br>Quran (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=48m17s"">48:17</a>) - "There is no blame for the blind", nor is there blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger, He will make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth back, him will He punish with a painful doom." <br><br>Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah," and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."<br><br>Quran (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=9m20s"">9:20</a>) - "Those who believe", and have left their homes and striven with their wealth and their lives in Allah's way are of much greater worth in Allah's sight. These are they who are triumphant."<br><br>Sahih Muslim (20:4696) - "the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: 'One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite.'"<br><br>Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth," and ye know not."<br><br>Quran (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=48m29s"">48:29</a>) - "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves"<br><br>Sahih Muslim (<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKCNUqbpH0&amp;t=1m30s"">1:30</a>) - "The Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah."<br><br>Tabari 9:69 "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us" The words of Muhammad", prophet of Islam.<br><br>Quran (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His cause" Religion of Peace, indeed!,(reply>), @Zahida Khanom I have studied the Quran and it turns out that the Quran is actually a manual book for battle against non-Muslims and demanding that they be killed simply because of their disbelief in Islam. So, if I really believe and follow what Allah has required of me, then of course i will be arrested, imprisoned, my brown ass will get whipped or most likely will be hanged to death according to our modern laws today. And you as a Muslim woman, will indeed be in the lowest status after death because you have to be restrained by the fear of punishment in this world just to be together with your husband's beautiful and fair-skinned virgin girls in heaven whom your husband had sex with repeatedly in the palace.,(reply>), @Zahida Khanom we can sink to the depth of negativity and read the comments of hatred from the banished, or we can look upwards and towards and the positive role model in the beautiful conversation that Mr. Lex and Imam Omar has given us so we get to know one another as Allah said, believe me you will not find any value in the comments if you want truth.,(reply>), @Mo Indeed, you have been angered by God, and despised in this world, and in the afterlife your return place is hell, a hapless journey’s end.,(reply>), Deal with it infidel,(reply>), Did you go deaf when Dr omar suleiman said these verses came down over 23 years to prophet Muhammad pbuh while different events were taking place?? Your an example of a dangerous person who reads the verses without the context of what was taking place! Your hatred and ignorance took over instead of educating yourself. Go and learn what took place and what are the meaning behind these verses before you spew even more hate to Muslims!
