Misinterpretations from my question

Submitted by Abdul Hadi (United Arab Emirates), Dec 21, 2021 at 09:58

"The invasions" is a book that talks about the invasions in Abyssinia and the invasions on the Prophet and the people beside him. That book is not completely accurate, I have read it, if you want to actually read a true biography, read "MUHAMMED" by Martin Lings. The other book that you mentioned talks about what others did to the prophet and his people, and what they did in response. Our prophet did engage in wars and did kill people, I'm not denying that, it was necessary as the invasions could've killed every Muslim and many other people at the time. Where in the Qur'an does it tell us to kill everyone who is not a Muslim?

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
109:1
Say, "O disbelievers,
109:2
I do not worship what you worship.
109:3
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.
109:4
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
109:5
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
109:6
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.

This is a chapter of the Qur'an that clears out a lot of the accusations of Islam anyway.
It clearly states that the disbelievers shalt not worship, nor shalt we worship what they worship. This immediately cuts off the accusation that it was ordered to us by Allah that we should kill anyone who doesn't accept Islam.

Also, I don't think you got my question right, the person I asked for references to, I meant, references from the Qur'an as he was stating that all the things done by Muslims that are negative come from the Qur'an itself. I wasn't talking about biographies. Don't misinterpret what I say.

I condemn all the killings done by Muslims, I never called myself a scholar, and I very well know that I am not one. Stop calling me Al-Tablighi, you're weirding me out. And please have a look at what Bajrang Dal is doing as well, it's not like they don't exist.

And are you trying to generalize all 2 billion Muslims by their past history?

Christianity
Freedom of thought
Catholic Church sex abuse cases
The Magdalene asylums

All of these and many more combined, it is estimated that Christians have killed around 122 million people, am I saying Christianity is bad because of this? NO! Of course not! It is a peaceful religion that people have ruined, the same with all major religions, but you just won't understand that.

And stop calling me SAW, that's a title only given to our prophet and a title only he deserves, please don't be so disrespectful and rude.

1. No

2. Qur'an is a book that talks about Islam and the teachings of it, and not one that snitches on other religions.

3. The Qur'an wasn't revealed in Urdu as Arabic was the common language spoken at the place the prophet lived, which made it easier for them to read and interpret it. Not 124,000 but 140,000 prophets were sent to the whole world, but a very few of them got revelations, and few are actually known. Talking about the prophet sent to India, many Muslims believe that Buddha was actually a prophet whose original name was Dhul Kifl, it's not verified in any way though. It's not even close to the truth, but it sure is an assumption. But Jesus sure is one of the prophets of Allah.

4. I really don't know what that is.

A small question from me, do you perform Idol Worship?
