Are Unbelievers To Be Taken For Friends By Muslims? by plappville(f): 12:32am On Jan 05, 2017 |
They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. Why are Muslims not obeying the bold? They still take the kafirs for friends even migrate in thier land. 1 Like |

plappville: Many muslims disobey the above verse for the same reason many Christians disobey the instruction in Corinthians 14:35 that women should be quiet in Church, and only ask questions of their husbands when they get home. Both verses are an anachronistic insult to common human decency. 7 Likes 1 Share |

AgentOfAllah:Christianity is not the issue here. The reason why Muslims disobey that verse is because they will become poor and wretched if they were to obey it. Majority of jobs today are provided by people of other faiths, majority being Christians. Do you want them to starve to death? 8 Likes 3 Shares |

alBHAGDADI:Who made Christianity the issue? Your guilty conscience? This is a good point! Pragmatism can also make people discard stupid religious instructions. Although, I don't see that it negates my point on common human decency. Both can work in tandem. 3 Likes |

Even Abraham respected his wife so much to have listened to her. If he had not. Hajah wouldnt have had Ishmael. You and i will not be here to discuss about terrorism each passing day in NL. |

plappville: Funny how you're quick to criticize Muslims for disregarding stupid religious instructions in order to ridicule them, and then when I do the same thing to you, you're suddenly consumed by the impulse of your own hypocrisy; so you start defending a record which I never questioned in the first place. What you're too blind to see is that your religious book isn't any less ridiculous than that of Muslims. So you can choose to learn from the age old wisdom that instructs those who live in glass houses not to throw stones, or, otherwise, have your hypocrisy expose you to especial ignominy! 5 Likes |

mengho: If there were no faults, I wouldn't have pointed out fault's. Allah says kill them anywhere u find them. Who is to be killed? And he continued by saying do not take them for friends. Yet we see Muslims in The US, and in the West. They keep migrating in the lands of the infidels. Isn't Saudi Arabia supposed to be a place of security and safety for you Muslims accoring to the quran? So why not go there for refuge? If you are afraid, then perform prayer on foot or mounted. But when you are safe, remember Allah in the way He taught you when previously you did not know. (2:239) In it are Clear Signs–the place where Ibrahim stood (to pray). (Mecca) [b] All who enter it are safe.[/b]Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to Allah by all mankind–those who can find a way to do it. But if anyone disbelieves, Allah is Rich Beyond Need of any being. (3:97) Go to where Allah promused you safety and stop running to the infidels for safety. |

mengho: Man, you are completely OTP... We are talking about Muslim migrants. They run to the West. Even when Allah warned them not to befriends with them. See the pictures. These people were all muslim refuguee's who flee from War before they migrated to those countries. Now see what they wished these countries who accommodated them during hard times. Islam is all they wished. This same Islam couldnt help them at anytime during the war. Saudi rejected Muslim's refugee's yet Mecca is a place of safety to Muslims? 1 Like

O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide people who are unjust. (Quran 5:51) This verse is often quoted to show that Islam is intolerant. Quran is a complete book of guidance and while studying various issues it should be kept in mind that a particular issue may be discussed over several chapters or several verses in the same chapter. A complete understanding can only be achieved by understanding the whole issue as presented over all the verses and chapters and not by looking at only part of the Quran. God specifically warns us against doing just that, upholding part of the Quran while disregarding the rest. .. Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do you reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? – and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For God is not unmindful of what ye do. (Quran 2:85) To understand the issue of befriending the Jews, Christians or people of any other faith, we have to study all the concerned verses from the Quran collectively. Let us look at some other verses about this issue. The following two verses regulate relations with any people, regardless of faith: As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. (Quran 60: God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers! (Quran 60:9) From the above verses, we learn that we are only discouraged from befriending those who fight Muslims because of their religion. Now let’s go back to the verse immediately after 5:51, to see if it sheds some further light on the issue. And yet you can not see how those in whose hearts there is disease vie with one another for their good will (the hostile Jews and Christians), saying [to themselves], "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." But God may well bring about good fortune [for the believers] or any [other] event of His own devising, whereupon those [waverers] will be smitten with remorse for the thoughts which they had secretly harboured within themselves- (Quran 5:52) During the time of the Prophet when the Jews and Christians were in open conflict with the Muslims, there were some Muslims who were more concerned about maintaining there alliances with the Jews and Christians at the expense of the Muslim community. The above verse is referring to such situations where Muslims with doubts in their hearts will ally themselves with the enemy. Chapter 5 Verse 57 of the Quran makes it clear again, who are not to be taken as friends; O you who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport,- whether among those who received the Scripture before you, or among those who reject Faith; but remain conscious of God, if you are (truly) believers. (Quran 5:57) God teaches us throughout the Quran that there are righteous Jews and Christians. As such there is no prohibition for Muslims to be friends with Jews, Christians or people of any other faith who are of good character. Quranic verses referring to the righteous Jews and Christians: Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (Quran 7:159) And We caused Jesus, the son of Mary, to follow in the footsteps of those (earlier prophets), confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah; and We sent him the Gospel, wherein there was guidance and light, confirming the truth of whatever there still remained of the Torah, and as a guidance and admonition unto the God-conscious. (Quran 5:46) Verily, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians – all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds-shall have their reward with their Sustainer; and no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve. (Quran 2:62) Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (Quran 3:113-114) And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book, those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God. They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account. (Quran 3:199) The following verse from the Quran capsulates this issue: O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise (each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Quran 2 Likes |

Now tell me what the bible preaches in 2 Corinthians 6: 14-17. Why are Christians not following it? Why do they all run to Arab countries in search of greener pastures, recreation, leisure and honeymoon? I hate hypocrisy, and Christians prove again and again that is what they are. 1 Like |
