Islam's Teachings on The Enemies of Allah: The Disbelievers - i.e. The Non-Muslims

[deen]

**Question #26721: Principles and guidelines for Muslims’ relations with non-Muslims - Part 2
**

5- The Muslims should differentiate between different kinds of kaafirs in their dealings with them. They should make peace with those who make peace, and wage war against those who wage war, and wage jihad against those who stand in the way of spreading the message of Islam and causing it to prevail of earth.

6- With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims’ attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter’s attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.

**7- Hating them in our hearts does not mean that we should oppress or mistreat them under any circumstances, because Allaah said to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), describing what his attitude should be towards the People of the Book:

“and I am commanded to do justice among you. Allaah is our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds and for you your deeds”

[al-Shoora 42:15 – interpretation of the meaning]

even though he is a Muslim and they are following Judaism or Christianity.

8- The Muslims believe that it is not permissible, under any circumstances whatsoever, for a Muslim to mistreat a non-Muslim who is not hostile towards Islam; so the Muslim should not commit aggression against him, or frighten him, or terrorize him, or steal his wealth, or embezzle him, or deprive him of his rights, or deny him his trust, or deny him his wages, or withhold from him the price of his goods when buying from him or withhold the profits of a partnership if he is in a business partnership with him.**

9- The Muslims believe that it is obligatory upon the Muslims to honour treaties or agreements made with a non-Muslim party. If a Muslim has agreed to their conditions when seeking permission to enter their country (i.e., a visa) and has promised to adhere to that, then it is not permissible for him to commit mischief in their land, to betray anyone, to steal, to kill or to do any destructive action, and so on.

10-The Muslims believe that in the case of non-Muslims who wage war against them and drive them out of their homes, or help others to do so, it is permissible for Muslims to shed the blood of these non-Muslims and confiscate their wealth.

** Question #26721: Principles and guidelines for Muslims’ relations with non-Muslims - Part 3
**

Answer:

11-The Muslims believe that it is permissible for a Muslim to treat kindly those non-Muslims who are not hostile, whether by offering financial help, feeding the hungry, giving them loans if needed or interceding with regard to permissible matters, or speaking kindly to them or returning their greetings, and so on. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity”[al-Mumtahanah 60:8]

12-There is no reason why Muslims should not cooperate with non-Muslims with regard to establishing truth and combating falsehood, to support the oppressed and ward off danger from mankind, such as cooperating to fight pollution or to protect the environment, or to combat epidemic diseases and so on.

13-The Muslims believe that there are differences between Muslims and non-Muslims in specific rulings such as diyah (blood money), inheritance, marriage, guardianship in marriage, entering Makkah etc., as is explained in the books of Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence). This is based on the commands of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We cannot regard as equal one who believes in Allaah alone with no partner or associate and one who disbelieves in Allaah or one who disbelieves in Allaah and joins others in worship with Him, or who turns away from the true religion.

14-Muslims are commanded to call people to Allaah in all the Muslim countries and other lands. They must convey the true religion of Allaah to the world and build mosques in all parts of the world, and send daa’iyahs (callers) to non-Muslim countries and invite their leaders to enter the religion of Allaah.

15-The Muslims believe that other people who are following other religions are not following any true religion, so the Muslims do not allow others to send missionaries to build churches in Muslim countries. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Is then he who is a believer like him who is a Faasiq (disbeliever and disobedient to Allaah)? Not equal are they”

[al-Sajdah 32:18]

Whoever thinks that Islam is equal to other religions is making a serious mistake. But the Muslim scholars have opened the door to debate with non-Muslims and allow the opportunity to discuss with and listen to non-Muslims and explain the truth to them.

Finally, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allaah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allaah.’ Then, if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims’”[Aal ‘Imraan 3:64]

“And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them”[Aal ‘Imraan 3:110].

deen:

More false accusations. There is nothing to deny or hide in the true teachings of Islam. The topic of this thread is part of the basic tenets of faith in Islam. It is called alliance and amity, disavowal and enmity.If one will visit one of our famous sites : Islam Q & A
this topic is thoroughly discussed.

Just because someone does not like what he/she reads in the teachings of Islam, it is not enough to conclude that the religion is false or evil. That is not an objective approach.

Even many Christians hate Islam and the Muslims because they think that we are anti-Christ or that we are discrediting Jesus (peace be upon him). I will not be surprised if UC is one of them.

Maybe if we take an analogy, things will become clearer…God willing. Suppose that your sister has been falsely accused of doing an immoral act by your neighbors. She is hurt and she specifically tells you to hate certain people? Will you not support her? Even if no one tells you this, it is only natural for humans to hate what our love ones hate and love what our love ones love.

It is the same in Islam. Because God wants us to worship Him alone according to the way He presribed to His prophet. He hates that we ascribed partners to him (e.g. Trinity). Naturally, He has the right to dictate what He loves and what He hates from HIs creation.

Please read the following Q & A to have a better picture of this issue. This was taken from the same link given above.

**Question #26721: Principles and guidelines for Muslims’ relations with non-Muslims - Part 1 **

**Question : **

We want to know in detail how Muslims regard non-Muslims, and how they should deal with them according to Islamic sharee’ah?

**Answer : **

Praise be to Allaah.

1- Islam is the religion of mercy and justice.

2- Muslims are commanded to call non-Muslims to Islam with wisdom and beautiful preaching and by debating in a manner that is better. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner, inviting them to Islamic Monotheism with His Verses), except with such of them as do wrong”

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:46]

3- Allaah does not accept any religion other than Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers”

[Aal ‘Imraan 3:85]

4- The Muslims should give the kaafirs the opportunity to hear the words of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if anyone of the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah) seeks your protection then grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allaah (the Qur’aan) and then escort him to where he can be secure”

[al-Tawbah 9:6]

5- The Muslims should differentiate between different kinds of kaafirs in their dealings with them. They should make peace with those who make peace, and wage war against those who wage war, and wage jihad against those who stand in the way of spreading the message of Islam and causing it to prevail of earth.

Doesn’t Islam make a distinction between​

• “people of the book” - Jews and Christians
• Kaffirs -
• “Sabians”

• or not ?
• or is the matter more complicated than this ?

My understanding is, that there is a distinction between the “House of Islam” and the “House of War” ##

 

[Joseph_Bilodeau]

Now please give me the context of the following verse. And also check if we have something similar from the Qur’an.

THE SEX LITERATURE IN THE BIBLE ?

[Prov. 7:7] I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youth, a young man without sense, passing along the street near her corner taking the road to her house in the twilight, in the evening at the time of the night and darkness. And lo, a woman meets him, dressed as a harlot, wily of heart. She is loud and wayward. Now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait.

SHE SEIZES HIM AND KISSES HIM, and with impudent face she says to him: I have come to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.

I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. COME, LET US TAKE OUR FILL OF LOVE TILL THE MORNING, LET US DELIGHT OURSELVES WITH LOVE. FOR MY HUSBAND IS NOT AT HOME, HE HAS GONE ON A LONG JOURNEY. With much seductive speech she persuades him, with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter.

You identify this passage as Proverbs 7:7, actually it is Proverbs 7:7-22. The context is that of a father warning his son that sexual immorality can lead him into hell if he does not guard against this temptation, as is shown in the final verse you quoted and in the verses following:
Proverbs 7:22-27:

…All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its entrails; as a bird rushes into a snare, he does not know that it will cost him his life.

And now, O sons, listen to me, and be attentive to the words of my mouth. Let not your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths; for many a victim she has laid low; yea, all her slain are a mighty host. Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the chambers of death.

deen:

…And also check if we have something similar from the Qur’an…

I don’t know if the Qur’an has any warnings from fathers to sons about how sexual immorality can lead them to hell if they do not guard themselves against sexual temptation. You tell me.

 

[Joseph_Bilodeau]

THEY EAT DUNG & DRINK PISS

[2King 18:27] Rab’-sha-keh said, “Has he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, **THAT THEY MAY EAT THEIR OWN DUNG, AND DRINK THEIR OWN PISS **with you.”

Can anyone quote someting like this from the Qur’an?..

This was said by the Rabshakeh, who was the chief cup-bearer and spokesman for the King of Assyria, to his enemy Hezekiah, King of Judah, and his soldiers defending the walls of Jerusalem.

deen:

…Can anyone quote someting like this from the Qur’an?..

I don’t know if the Qur’an mentions any instances of enemies at war saying insulting things to or about each other. You tell me.

 

[Genesis315]

THEY EAT DUNG & DRINK PISS

[2King 18:27] Rab’-sha-keh said, “Has he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, **THAT THEY MAY EAT THEIR OWN DUNG, AND DRINK THEIR OWN PISS **with you.”

Can anyone quote someting like this from the Qur’an?
thx,

deen

The context of this has already been pointed out to you (what translation do you have with the word “piss”? Both of mine say “urine.”). Anyway, I hate to break it to you, but real human beings say and do messed up things. The Bible is concerned with real people and real human events, not idealized versions of them.

If the Koran is all about perfect people and is free from examples of human sexuality or human sin, then it seems as if it is a nice feel-good fairy tale invented by a man with an agenda and not inerrant truth.

cargopilot:

Scary stuff!

Most of your most scathing posts, such as this one, seem to be quotes from the teaching of Islam.

I’m afraid that the only ones that are in the dark about Islam are the non-Muslims. I’m pretty sure that most Muslims know this stuff, and they don’t really want us to know. It seems that they will throw up a smoke-screen. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Look over here. We love you. We don’t want to kill you. We mean you no harm. We’re just like you.”

And we’re just sappy enough to buy it, hook, line and sinker.

I’ll bet a lot of Muslims buy into the Religion of Peace (RoP) nonsense, too.
A good Muslim is the one who murders for Allah.

Exactly.

A faithful, DEVOUT Muslim is the one who KILLS for Muhammad and his Allah (both are the same, by the way - Muhammad is Allah, and vice versa… Muhammad invented Allah, sorta).

**WOW ! What a complete display of ignorance. I can not believe that there are still people who have this kind of belief about Islam. **

 

[deen]

Have you heard the following from any mass that you have attended? Can you relate this to your children during your Bible-sharing period? The Qur’an is defintely free from such language because it is purely from The Creator.

THE STORY OF THE TWO PROSTITUTES - AHO’LAH & A-HOL-I-BAH

**[Ezek. 23:2] ** Son of man, there were two men…They committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth; they were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity. And the name of them were Aho’lah the elder, and A-hol-i-bah her sister. And Aho’lah **PLAYED THE HARLOT ** when she was mine, and she doted on her lovers. They **BRUISED THE BREASTS OF HER VIRGINITY ** and poured their whoredom upon her. Wherefore, I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers…these discovered her **NAKEDNESS… **

And when her sister A-hol-i-bah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall…And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them, into Cal-de’-a. And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom. So she discovered her whoredoms, and DISCOVERED HER NAKEDNESS… Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she** PLAYED THE HARLOT ** in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh as the flesh of asses, and **WHOSE ISSUE IS LIKE THE ISSUE OF HORSES. **

Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, in bruising your teats by the Egyptians for the paps of your youth. And they shall deal with you hatefully, and take away all your labour, and shall leave you naked and bare. And the **NAKEDNESS OF YOUR WHORDOMS ** shall be discovered, both your lewdness and your whoredoms. You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation. You shall even drink it and suck it out, and you shall break the sherds thereof, **AND PLUCK OFF YOUR OWN BREASTS. **

 

[Joseph_Bilodeau]

Again, as in the example you qouted from Proverbs, this is discussed as an example of evil behavior with dire consequences which all are well advised to avoid.

deen:

…Can you relate this to your children during your Bible-sharing period?..

Certainly, as my children reach an age such that they need to know details of sexual morality and a level of maturity sufficient to understand these details. I will not insult you by asking whether you have reached a level of maturity such that you can understand the importance of sexual morality, but given that you have posted two such excerpts from the Scriptures apparently intending to hold them up as examples of some sort of defect in the Scriptures, I must admit that I wonder if you have.

deen:

…The Qur’an is defintely free from such language because it is purely from The Creator.

Stipulating that you are correct in your assertion that the Qur’an does not contain any sexual language (which assertion has yet to be demonstrated), how does this demonstrate that the Qur’an is purely from God, or that the Word of God may not contain sexual language, especially as a warning for people to avoid sexual sins? Goldilocks and the Three Bears does not contain any sexual language either. Is it your position, then, that this story must therefore also be purely from the Creator?

 

[Booklover]

More false accusations.

The violent actions of Muslims speak a lot louder than their words."

1- Islam is the religion of mercy and justice.

Baloney, Islam is the religion of hatred and intolerance.

3- Allaah does not accept any religion other than Islam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning

Baloney again!
