What part of the CORAN where to kill is tought as a road to their holiness?

Question

I've read on one website that Muslims were tought to kill even mutilate none Muslims will lead them to holiness they seek. It reads that what they wrote came from the Coran, a teaching of Mohamad. Where exactly in they Coran it is stated as such.

Answer 1

That wasn't a Muslim website and probably a propoganda site to shape your view of Islam according to their interests. I am a Muslims and read the Quran and I'm not taught such a thing. The fact that no one could provide you with reference from the Quran should speak for itself. A couple of posters provided different verses that address fighting but that was in a state of war. There is no verse in the quran that permits fighting outside of war. There is no verse in the Quran put in proper context that permits fighting on the basis of race, religion, nationality difference.

Rather this verse states the grounds in which fighting is permitted:

And fight in God’s cause against those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression, for, verily, Allah does not love the aggressors. And slay them wherever you may come upon them, and drive them away from wherever they drove you away, for oppression is even worse than killing. And fight not against them near the Sacred Mosque until they fight against you first, but if they fight against you, slay them: such is the recompense of the rejecters of truth. But if they desist (from aggression), behold, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight against them until there is no more oppression and religion belongs to God (i.e. until people can worship Allah without fear of persecution), but if they desist, then all hostility shall cease, except against those who commit injustice.] (Al-Baqarah 2:190-194)

It is obvious from these key verses that the only two justifications of the combative-type of jihad are to stop aggression and severe oppression. The condition for ceasing hostilities is not acceptance of Islam, but halt to aggression and oppression.

Historically, these aggressors happened to be non-Muslims. In fact, the Qur’an allows fighting against fellow Muslims if they are aggressors and other means of restoring peace and justice have failed (Al-Hujurat 49:8-9). The issue is allowing fighting in the presence of aggression, not difference of religion.

War in Islam is hated, it's not a path to holiness, rather something that must happen sometimes to put a stop to injustice and agression, war should be the last resort though. Since fighting is only premitted if it's in self-defence, Muslims are ordered to stop if the enemy stops fighting and reciprecate peace if offered.

Answer 2

NOT TRUE
Quran only asks ppl 2 kill in war situations. Sunna (the teachings of Muhammad) teaches not to kill children, women, old ppl.
The teachings of Islam preven to hurt anyone who doesn't fight.
In Muslim countries you can find lots of ppl who are not Muslims and living In peace.
It is true that Quran states to hit the wife, but if you search more you would find that the husband take that final thing in one case only, if the wife cometed adultery so many times and would not stop the husband may hit her 3 times only with a small dry twig. The aim here is not 2 hurt physically but to make her think of what she did.
Quran is the words of God, it can not be wrong in any way.

Answer 3

There's over 1 billion Muslims on earth if the Quran has instructions to "kill the disbelievers wherever you find them" then why are they millions of Jews and Christians in Arab countries...ignorant people are a cancer to all humanity people like this are the cause of wars.

Answer 4

well, that's definitely true, "seek and kill the unbelievers wherever you find them" But take note. That commandment was given when the prophet mohammad (peace be upon him)was still engaged in tribal wars against those who were trying to kill him. AND, the continuation of that verse said that"But when they want to make peace and justice are served, honor them, and wars against each other stop." It does not even indicate that the unbelievers are to be forced to convert to islam. They can retain their religion if that is what suits them. And they lived in harmony.
If that verse "killing all the unbelievers " is true. Then how come there are still lots of christian and jewish and other religion whose communites are in arab or muslim dominated areas?

Answer 5

Iam asian muslim but may god ( what belief ) help me if iam half as dumb as you.

By the way dork its not Coran - its Al Quran

Answer 6

Islam allows the Clerics to interpret the writtings of their leader Mohammed. If the Cleric says that Mohammed promises you that you get a reward for blowing up a disco in Germany, the followers believe it.

So, it's not in the Koran, per se, it is in the teachings of the Clerics. (The head of Hezbolla is a cleric.)

Answer 7

if Islam allow Muslims to marry christian or Jewish, how will they not be their friends, should i go kill my wife by now? is that what they tough you about Islam in the media and using stereotypes phobia strategics?

mostly it's during the war for defense military.

in the Quran God commanded the Muslims to be kind and justice toward those non-Muslims who do not fight us for religion, neither tried to kick us out of our home. and to those who came to us for peace. Quran 60-8

Answer 8

Um, whizzman88? The bible teaches men to beat their wives too.

The Koran is no more full of evil than the Bible is. For every verse telling people to kill in the Koran you find, I can find a similar one in the Bible.
