For example, when Isreal came out of Egyptian slavery, and finally reached the promised land, the 12 tribes were given some time-sensitive commands: stuff they were only supposed to have to do once. The complete destruction of Jericho is one example, as is the command to stone Aachan and his entire family. While there were many "forever laws", like the 10 Commandments, some commands were a one-time event. Does the Koran have any "one-time only" commandments in it? A lot of people like to quote the "kill all the infidels" and "don't be friends with Jews and Christians" verses, as proof of the Muslim faiths xenophobia, but are these commands time-sensitive? Are they commands for all time, or did they address a singular event in the life of Mohammed?
