How are Muslims instructed to interact with Christians?

Question

Verses from the Koran would be appreciated

Answer 1

The following quotes are taken from M. H. Shakir’s translation of the Qur’an (Tahrike Tarsile Qur’an, Inc., New York):


Surah II: 98 – “Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers.”
Surah II: 191-193 – “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them….Fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah.”
Surah II: 216 – “Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows, while you do not know.”
Surah III: 19 – “Surely the true religion with Allah is Islam…and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning.”
Surah IV: 104 – “Be not weak in pursuit of the enemy.”
Surah V: 51 – “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whosoever among you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Surah VIII: 12 – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”
Surah VIII: 15-17 – “O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, turn not your backs to them. Whoever shall turn his back to them on that day – unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company – then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath, and his abode is hell… So you did not slay them, but it was Allah who slew them…that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”
Surah IX: 29 – “Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth… until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.”
Surah IX:33 – “[Allah] it is who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though polytheists may be averse.”
Surah IX: 73 – “O Prophet! Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is their destination.”
Surah IX: 123 – “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in your hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).”
There you have it – straight from the Koran. It is this writer’s hope and prayer not only that many Islamic terrorists might be miraculously converted (as was Saul on the road to Damascus – see Acts 9), but that millions of peace-loving Muslims will have their eyes opened, will stop denying the truth, and will finally reject the Koran as a source of evil teachings. These teachings have been inspired, not by the Creator of all life, but by an invisible terrorist whom Jesus Christ identified as “a murderer from the beginning, who abode not in the truth” (John 8:44). Jesus taught love for the entire world, including our enemies (Matthew 5:44). He sacrificed His own life to pay for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3). Salvation comes by faith in Him alone (Acts 4:12). His Book is truth, not the Koran.

Qur'an: 8:39 - "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."

Qur'an: 9:5 - "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

Answer 2

A Muslim must not take a Jew or a a Christian for a friend Sura 5:51

Surah [9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

Sura 9:29-31 "Fight those who believe not in God nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of truth, (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued
* The people of the Book are the Jews and Chrisitans.

Quite a contrast from Jesus that tought us to love our enemies and to turn the other cheak.

Answer 3

Oh please, Moslems coexisted peacefully with Jews and Christians? Sure the wannabe prophet Mohammed coexisted peacfully until he was completely rejected by them as a false prophet. The Jews would have nothing to do with him, so Mohhammed (showing Allah's love and mercy of course) had 900 Jewish men residing in Medina beheaded and the women raped and sold into slavery. The Jewish children were also sold into slavery. How is this peaceful coexistance? It's not! This is an indisputable fact, you can find it all over the place if you google it.

When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks' (Qur'an sura 47, verse 4)

Answer 4

hey guys i advise u to read those mentioned above verses in their CONTEXT PLZ.. my friend , just read one full Surah from Quraan and u will realize how god is tolerant and mercifull. our prophet mohamed coexisted with christians and jews and made peace treaties with them as both parties were abiding with conditions which were mainly based on peace and tolerance. i advice u to take a look at the history of islam and our prophet Muhamed, but not to take alook at verses out of context, becuz they will look anti-wtever to you. if i really have time to get u the context of each verse i would do it, but it's a great task, and it's 4:30 am :)

Answer 5

1) Muslims aren't "instructed" to act any way with Christians.
2)to the people taking the koran/quran way out of context, lemme pull some skeptic atheist **** out my a$$ and see what i could find in the bible...

Answer 6

Hmmm. . .this may well be an particularly good question that i've got been questioning at the instant. i think of what has held me decrease back the main is faith itself. I even have found obtainable's a distinction between having a private relationship with Jesus Christ and specializing in what He might have me do in my existence vs. non secular doctrine that, whilst it factors shape, does it do something to help me with my own walk? Or does it overtake the indoors maximum walk to the place i'm greater worried approximately following dogma vs. Christ? if so. . .then i might desire to redirect my priorites to Christ and discover a fellowship that encourages me in that walk. that's the place i'm at at present.

Answer 7

Christians and Jews are people of the book. So we are instructed to be kind to them and treat them with respect.

Answer 8

Muslims dont interact with non-believers unless its necessary.

Answer 9

God says well-treat non-Muslims, which we do. We welcome all foreigners in our countries & even ask for autographs & to take pics with u people. However, if they did something against us..we FIRST use peaceful talks for MANY MANY times..but if the enemy insisted on causing us damages? We obey what god said(bad word for a bad word..a spank for a spank..& so on) So i think our religion is very fair, since it tells us to respond by the exact same action after long long many many angelic negociations. What do u think?

Answer 10

Kill non beleiver except Muslims
