2:62 Those who believe (and are Muslims) and those who are Jews and the christians and the people of other faiths, who ever believed in Allah (i…e their own God) and the last day (of judgement) and did befitting (good) deeds, they will have their reward with their Lord and they will have no fear (of the future) nor any sorrow (of the past).
planten -I have been told that the Quran does not actually have the words that are in the parenthesis, these have been added by people so allah’s words cold be more easily understood. What is your understanding?
2.106 None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?
Found another verse about similar or better verses:
16.101 When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals,- they say, “Thou art but a forger”: but most of them understand not.
The similar or better verses:
9.5 But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
9.29 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, of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
**The violent verses of the Old Testament: We read the Holy Bible in context of time as to when it was revealed and what was going on at the time. To Christians it is a history of man’s sinful past and why GOD sent Jesus.
When the Quran was compiled after Mohammad died the people doing the compiling had no idea how to put the thing together. They put them in order of longest to shortest verses. Makes one think like our violent Muslims that Quranic verses can be taken out of context-certain verses don’t really pertain to just the battle being fought at the time. That with the staement that the Quran is for all times.**
