I understand that Islam teaches that all Non-Muslims must convert or die, is this True or false.?

Question

For devout Muslims only please and please give a true answer, not how you feel but what Islam teaches.

Answer 1

Don't be so silly. Open your mind and read the Qua'ran yourself, and see what it teaches.
Don't listen to all these stupid close-minded people and what they say about it. All holy books have their own beliefs, and believe they are correct, and of course if you don't beleive you won't go to heaven/the equivelant of heaven. Islam just teaches the basic principles of what it believes is right from wrong, just like the Bible, Torah etc.

Please everyone, open your minds, and do some reading.

Answer 2

My brother, you asked a question and God's willing, you will get some of the most appropriate answers possible.

The religion of Islam never taught that all Non-Muslims must convert or die. And it will remain so until the end of the world. In so many verses of the Holy Qur'an Allah has made emphatically clear that as humans, you have a right to freedom of religious worship.

If you ever have to read the Qur'an, I'd like to refer you to a very simple and clear Chapter in the Qur'an, that is, Chapter 109 Verses 1-6.

It says,

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficient, the Most Merciful

1. Say, "O You who deny the Truth, and, thus, by remaining ungrateful to the Creator's Ultimate Guidance, choose to live in darkness!

2. I do not worship that which you worship.

3. Nor do you worship that which I worship.

4. And I will never worship that which you have ever worshiped.

5. Nor will you worship that which I worship.

6. Unto you your way, and unto me my Way."

This is just a little of the so many verses and chapters you'll find in the Holy Qur'an telling you that there is no Compulsion in the religion of islam.

Despite the fact that, there's been false claims in various ways depicting what islam is not and would never be. the truth remains the truth and wherever there is truth it is not always difficult to see the light.

I hope this and other scores of "RIGHT" answers would give you an insight into the truth and not "FALSE"

May Allah Almighty guide us onto the right path, Amin.

Answer 3

Islam does not teach us that non-muslims should die, murder is a sin in all religions, as far as I know. What it teaches us is that as muslims, our responsibility is to teach others about our beliefs and inform them about what, we believe, is the true religion. I know that Christians believe this as well, to pass the word of Jesus on to others. I understand people may get offended by this, but that is what we believe. However, we also believe that everything is up to God (or Allah) so we can pray to him to make someone muslim. We are also taught, that just because someone is not muslim, that is no reason to disrespect them. Prophet Muhommad (SAW) had some non-muslim relatives of his own, I'm not exactly sure how he was related to them, but he treated them the same way he did all his other muslim relatives. I don't know if this helps, but I tried to make it as simple as possible. =)

assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatahu
may the peace and blessings of Allah be with u

dear brother, when u read the quran try understanding it with an open mind. and also while quoting something try reading the verses next to it. when u say that this verse is preaching non-violence, then try reading the verses that are next to it also. then you will know what Allah is speaking of. please for ur Lord's sake

there have been many people who have given quotes from quran saying that Allah asks u to kill infidels or non-beleivers. but how many people know what a infidel is in islam.

in·fi·del (nf-dl, -dl)
n.
1. An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam.
2. One who has no religious beliefs.
3. One who doubts or rejects a particular doctrine, system, or principle

if this is the infidel u are talking and linking to islam, then u are wrong. an infidel is not a man/woman from the opposite Faith. it simply means a person who is leading astray from the STRAIGHT PATH, which leads to God. in layman terms, it means, a person who commits sin. and every right religion and God will say the same thing.

WHO IS AN INFIDEL/ unbeleiver/ kufr?

who are not kind and compassionate to entire humankind
infidels are people who torture others,
who dont help needy ,
who commit adultary, who lie, steal and kill
those who bear false witness against brothers
those who dont serve their parents and community
those who take taxes
those who associate false Gods
those who do not give charity
those who opress the orphans
those who burn widows alive with their dead hubbies(sati)
those who shave widow women bald (christianity)
those who considered woman was a slave and 3rd class citizen
those who say that a woman cannot give witness
those wgo play with a woman's reputation
those who say that woman cannot be educated or give sermons
those who let their women and men commit fornication
those who do not desire what they deisre for them selves
those who are not kind
those who are not patient and enduring
those who are arrogant

may the peace and blessings of Allah be with u

Answer 5

I am afraid what you know is wrong.

Islam does not teach that. Its the belief of a class of small number of fanatic muslims that "everyone should be Muslim." Islam, however, has not stated anything like that anywhere, rather inspired to coexist with others. There are fanatics everwhere, right?

Just for further clarification, the wars Muhammed (pbuh) had to fight were mostly because of political issues where religion was used by his opponents as a weapon of hatred.

*Muhammed (pbuh) even had a christian wife .. now she wasnt killed, see?

Answer 6

False. think about it. if Islam allowed me to marry christian or jewish, should i kill her by now?

there is a clear verse in the Quran says no force in this religion. the truth has been cleared from the False. there is also a chapter in the Quran that clearly says we have our own religion and you have your own. also other verses ask muslims to forgive those who disbelieve. and be kind toward those who did not fight us for religion, neither tried to kick us our of home, which means be peaceful with those who are peaceful with you.

Answer 7

Well, let's see what the Koran says:

"There is no compulsion in religion." (The Koran 2:256)

"If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah. and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge." (The Koran 9:6) (note that this verse comes exactly after the verse that John W typed in)

"Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion." (The Koran 109:6)

Answer 8

Read the Qu'ran and see what it says. No where does it teach this, but I did go to a Baptist church once and they told me I was going to hell because I was not a Baptist. ...... More people should read and research a religion before believing everything the media says....

Answer 9

(19) The Quran orders warfare and death for polytheists who refuse to convert.

Sura 9:5 says:

Then, when the months made unlawful for fighting expire, kill the mushriks [polytheists] wherever you find them, and seize them, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, establish Salat [prayer five times a day] and pay the Zakat dues [charity tax], then let them go their way. (Maududi, vol. 2, p. 175; insertions mine)

This hadith leaves no doubt about Muhammad’s mission in Arabia and his known world:

Answer 10
