Love your enemy is not only in Christianity, but also in Islam?

Question

christianity is not the only religion that ask people to love their enemy. it's also in the Quran.
in this verse God is telling the believers to treat their enemy like a very close friend. and the only people who recieve this gift are those who are patient and lucky ones.

Quran 41-(34-35)
[34] The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.

[35] But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient - and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion in this world.


love your enemy is not only christinaity, but also in Islam.

Answer 1

That's not so surprising. All the world's religions stemmed from the same basic beliefs! Because everyone was so secluded from each other, the tenets changed to reflect their needs of the time.

Answer 2

I got this from the Quran. To me this does not sound too much like "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

4:89 "They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,"

Here are a couple other warm fuzzy verses I found too in the Quran....

4:56 "Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise."

41:27 "But verily We shall cause those who disbelieve to taste an awful doom...."

41:28 "That is the reward of Allah's enemies: the Fire. Therein is their immortal home, payment forasmuch as they denied Our revelations."

Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick to Christianity.

Answer 3

Love your enemies - to think and act with compassion toward ALL your fellow (wo)men has bee taught by a number of "religions".

We have morals and ethics and laws. What are they based on?
In my opinion they are based on human relations. How we think we should behave towards one another.

If we look at what most of those wisdoms have in common we find that the qualities of compassion and forgiveness are the most prevalent recommendations for “human” behavior in all the serious “religions”.

Unfortunately, they are not easy to incorporate in our “normal” life. So we look for – and find! – the “loopholes” and use them to justify (= make something unjust appear “just”) our deviations from the basic message.

Jesus said that the two “first and foremost commandments are: to love God… and to love our neighbour – even if that neighbour is your enemy! Those two are the basis for all other laws. Any interpretations deviating from those two are invalid.

Anybody who does follow those two laws (no matter what “religion” or “denomination”) will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Trouble is we don’t. We are NOT perfect. That’s why we have the various “religions” and “denominations”, to accommodate OUR various views on what is “good” and what is “evil” according to OUR OWN interpretations instead of listening to Christ’s words, THE TRUTH.

Here is an excerpt from a presentation given by Ra'ana Dilruba Yasmin on the subject of Islam, Forgiveness and Jihad.

"The seminal principle of Judaism is justice; a central principle of Christianity is compassion. Islam values both justice and compassion, and considers them complementary to each other. You should strive to establish justice, but forgive those who fail to treat you justly in spite of your efforts, perhaps due to their shortcomings or plain ignorance. Islam also says:

"If any show patience and forgive, that truly would be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs." Qur'an: Sura 42:43 (Counsel)

Forgiveness plays an essential part in human relations, and magnanimity is most certainly a sign of strength. Mercy out of power rather than mercy out of weakness is recommended.

Answer 4

Assalamoalakum. you're correct. and that i have come to comprehend this lately more effective than ever. a kind word turns away wrath. it fairly is an previous saying. I easily are transforming into offended at a number of the questions in this communicate board directed in the direction of Muslims at circumstances, because they are so incorrect, and meant to electrify us. lately, regardless of the reality that, i'm in a state of peace, alhumdulillah.

Answer 5

now only 100% purely existing religion in this world is Islam! And only purely 100% existing revelation is Holy Qur'an All other revelations are corrupted! The only true God Allah-almighty/our creator/the creator of universe says in Qur'an (V51: 56) that "And I (Allah) created not the Jinn and Mankind except that they should worship Me (Allah alone)". As well as in (Qur'an 3:64) Allah says that "O people of the Scripture! Come to a Word that is Just between us (Muslim) and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him (Allah), and that none of us shall take others as Lords (Gods) besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (truly submitted/obeying to only-God)".

Answer 6

The Quran has verses both ways.

Muslims quote the peaceful ones when defending their faith and preaching for converts,

And the violent ones when they need kids to blow themselves up or to raise an army to kill unbelievers.


They quote verses that praise women to Christians, then stone women to death for adultery.

Double speak.

Peace!

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
