Comment 1. Freedom of religion.

Freedom of religion 1400 years before the United Nations declaration of human rights.

The Ansar (Al-Ansar, the helpers) is the name given to some of the first people in Yathrib, Medina who became Muslim. When the Ansar tried to force their sons to become Muslim, Quran 2:256 was revealed to stop people from forcing other people to believe in religion against their will and to show that God orders freedom of choice in the matter of religion. 

Quran 2:256 Verse 2:256 There is no compulsion in religion (meaning, religion must come voluntarily from the human heart and not from the fear of humans or by force). ..." 

Quran 18:29 Verse 18:29 And say, “The truth (of the Quran) is from your Lord (God)" so whoever wishes let them believe and whoever wishes let them disbelieve. …” 

Quran 76:29 Verse 76:29 This is a reminder (from God to humanity), so that whoever wishes may take a path to their Lord (God).

Quran 76:30 Verse 76:30 And you do not desire (to do) except what God wills (for you to desire to do). God knows all and is wise. 

Note 1. Judgement of belief and punishment for belief comes from God not from humans.

Quran 83:33 Verse 83:33 But they (the believers of God) were not sent as guardians over them (the wrongdoers, because God has given freedom of belief and freedom of religion to every person).

Comment 2. Punishment for leaving religion comes from God only not from humans.

The stone idol worshippers in Mecca threatened death for leaving the religion of worshipping stones.

God does not order humans to kill people who leave their religion.

In Quran 16:106 God forbids humans to punishment those who leave Islam.

In Quran 16:106 only God is allowed to punish those who believed in Islam and later left Islam.

In Quran 16:106 the one who has the authority to punish the apostate is God only.

Quran 16:106 Verse 16:106 Whoever disbelieves in God after they had believed, on them is the wrath (anger) from God and for them is a great punishment (from God) except for the person who is forced (to declare disbelief in God against their will because of the threat of death from the stone idol worshippers of Mecca in Arabia) but whose heart still has belief (in God).

Comment 3. God decrees who believe and who disbelieve in God.

God gave humans freedom to choose believe in God or reject belief in God.

Humans are not allowed to punish other humans for their belief because it is God who has decreed their belief.

Quran 74:36 Verse 74:36 A warning to humans (to remember God and the hereafter and) -

Quran 74:37 Verse 74:37 For whoever among you wills (to accept the warning from God) to go ahead (on the path of righteousness) or stay behind (in disbelief of God who is your creator).

Quran 74:55 Verse 74:55 So whoever wills shall remember it (God’s warning to avoid evil and to do what is good).

Quran 74:56 Verse 74:56 And they shall not remember it (God’s warning to avoid evil and to do what is good) unless God has willed (for them to remember it). He (God) is worthy of (your) fear and worthy to forgive (your wrongdoing).

Quran 76:30 Verse 76:30 And you do not desire (to do) except what God wills (for you to desire to do). God knows all and is wise.

Comment 4. Islam does not force belief in God. 

Quran 10:99 Verse 10:99 And if your Lord (God) had willed then all who are on the earth would have all believed together. (God asks Prophet Muhammad), “Would you force people (against their will) to believe (in God when it is God who decrees who will believe and who will disbelieve)? (The answer is no, Islam does not force belief in God because -).” 

Quran 10:100 Verse 10:100 It is not for any soul to believe except by the permission of God and He (God) will place the anger (of God in the hereafter) on those who do not use reason (to follow good behaviour). 

Quran 25:57 Verse 25:57 Say, “I (Prophet Muhammad) ask you for no payment for this (message and preaching from me), only (I ask) that who ever shall (listen) may find a way (of belief) to his Lord (God).” 

Comment 5. Double reward for Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran.

Quran 42:15 Verse 42:15 So (Prophet Muhammad) invite (the people to God), and stay on the correct path as you (Prophet Muhammad) are commanded and do not follow their (the peoples) desires (concerning religion) but say, "I believe what God has sent down of the Book (in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:41, Quran 3:3, Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:44, Quran 5:68, Quran 20:133 and in the Gospel Injil in Quran 3:3, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:68 and Quran 20:133) and I am commanded that I do justice between you (the Jews, Christians and Muslims). God is our Lord and your Lord (meaning God is the Lord of the Muslims and the Lord of the Jews and the Christians). For us (Muslims is the responsibility for) our deeds and for you (Jews and Christians is the responsibility for) your deeds. There is no argument between us (Muslims) and between you (the Jews and the Christians because God has revealed the same message to all of us to worship God who created you and do good in the world and reject evil in the world). God shall bring us (Muslims and Christians and Jews and all humankind) together and to Him (God) is the final destination (in the hereafter in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:64, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:69).”

Note 1. There is no argument between Muslims and Jews and Christians because the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil and the Quran contain the same message to worship God and strive for all that is good.

Quran 28:53 Verse 28:53 And when it (the Quran) is recited to them (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil), they (those Jews and Christians) say, “We believe in it (the Koran Quran). It is the truth from our Lord (God). Even before it (the Quran was revealed to us) we were of those (Jews and Christians) who submitted (to God. The English word submitter is the Arabic word Muslim. Islam the religion means submission and Muslim the believer means submitter. Submitter and submission for the Muslim people is in Quran 47:19 “…there is no God except God …” and submitter and submission for the Jewish people is in Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me God” and submitter and submission for the Christian people is in the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve” meaning God inspired the same belief of Islam which is an Arabic word meaning submission, to God in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and in others).

Quran 28:54 Verse 28:54 They (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil and also believe the Quran) shall be given their reward twice (in Quran 28:54 meaning twofold in Quran 34:37 meaning double in Quran 57:28) because they are steadfast (in their belief in God) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (God) have provided to them. (Jews and Christians who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between God and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).

Note 1. Jews and Christians who follow their book and also believe the Quran will receive their reward twice in the Hereafter.

The good news message from God for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.

1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.

2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.

3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.

4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.

Quran 2:62 Verse 2:62 (In the hereafter) truly those (Muslims) who believed and those who became Jews, Christians and Sabians, whoever believed in God and the Last Day (The Day of Resurrection) and did good deeds, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall not fear or grieve (and this is confirmed in Quran 6:158 for those in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds. Quran 5:69 repeats Quran 2:62 meaning stop and think about what God is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from God in the books of God on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which God brought to the Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible and to the Christian people in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The Quran is a confirmer of what came before it in the same way as the Gospel Injil is a confirmer of what came before it meaning the Books of God confirm each other as proof God is real and as proof His promise is real as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA showing that without His permission no one can change His words in His Books which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement so that you can believe God is real and His promise is real).

Note 1. The Jews who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah. 

Note 2. The Christians who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah. 

Note 3. The Sabians who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah. 

Note 4. The Muslims who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah. 

Note 5. Everyone who believed in God and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah. 

Note 6. This revelation is so important that God has repeated it in Quran 5:69

In Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the promise of Paradise Jannah is not for those who “believe” but only for those who “believed” meaning who died (past tense) because it is not until the time of death that your true belief or disbelief and your good and evil deeds are judged,

God repeated Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 two times because it is only with Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 that there are no contradictions within the Quran and between the Quran and the Torah Taurat and between the Quran and the Gospel Injil as proof in Quran 4:82 to the Jews in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113-3:115 and to the Christians in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82-5:85 and to the stone idol worshippers 1400 years ago who are not promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:85 and to all people today and in the future that the Quran is from God because the Quran contains no contradictions.

If Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 did not exist then it would be proof that the Quran was not from God because without Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the Quran would contradict its self and contradict the Torah Taurat and contradict the Gospel Injil.

Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 is good news for Jews, Christians, Sabians, Muslims and all the people in the world confirming they will all come together again in a life after death.

Quran 3:3 Verse 3:3 He (God) revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) the Book (the Quran) of truth confirming what came before it (in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil), and He (God) revealed the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil.

Note 1. God revealed the Torah and the Gospel and the Quran which are with humans today.. 

Quran 3:85 Verse 3:85 And whoever seeks a religion other than submission (to Adonai Allah Elohim God G-d HaShem Jehovah Yahweh YHWH which includes every human from the beginning of time until the end of time, for example stone idol worship) it shall not be accepted by Him (God) in the Hereafter and (such a person) shall be one of the losers (in the hereafter. Islam has two meanings, the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:85 meaning anyone who submits to God such as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the past and the Jews who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and the Christians who are promised Paradise Jannah in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and all humans in future in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds including Jews and Christians and others in Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69 and Quran 6:158. If Quran 3:85 had the specific meaning of “Islam” instead of the general meaning of “submission” then it would mean no people except the people from the religion of Islam would be in Paradise Jannah meaning all the prophets and people before Islam would be the losers in the hereafter which is not correct because it contradicts other verses in the Quran and it does not make sense meaning the word Islam in Quran 3:85 is the general meaning “submission” and not the specific meaning “Islam”).

Note 1. The Muslim religion Islam is the religion of submission to God (Quran 3:64).

Note 2. The Jewish religion Judaism is the religion of submission to God (Quran 3:64).

Note 3. The Christian religion Christianity is the religion of submission to God (Quran 3:64).

Quran 3:64 Verse 3:64 Say, “O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) let us come to an agreement between you and us (Muslims), that we shall worship no one but God, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one God, we pray only to our creator the one God and no one else, not to sons, not to saints, not to any idol), and that none of us shall take others for Lords instead of God.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted to Him (God).” 

Note 1. God does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).

Note 2. God does require that every religion worship only God (Quran 3:85).

Note 3. God says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only God like the Muslims worship only God then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by God (Quran 3:64). 

Quran 4:123 Verse 4:123 (Entry to Paradise Jannah) shall not be based on your (the Muslim's) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong (on the earth) shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than God (in the hereafter).

Note 1. God will judge Muslims and Christians and Jews and every creation justly in the hereafter.

Quran 5:48 Verse 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (God) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what God has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (God) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If God willed He (God) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (God) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (God) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To God you shall all return and He (God) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.

Note 1. God does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).

Note 2. God does require that every religion worship only God (Quran 3:85).

Note 3. God says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only God like the Muslims worship only God then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by God (Quran 3:64). 

Note 4. God commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what God has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.

Note 5. God says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to God and God shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.

Note 6. God protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48). 

Note 7. God protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.

Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.

The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.

Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey God. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from God described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.

Note 8. God protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48). 

Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with God (Quran 5:48).

Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions. 

Note 11. In the sight of God Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of God” because they were all created by God for only one reason which is “to submit to God.”

Quran 98:5 Ayah 98:5 They (the Jews and the Christians) were not commanded anything (from God in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil) except that they (the Jews and the Christians) should worship God and be faithful in religion to Him (God) and establish prayer (only to the one God who created them) and give charity (to the needy people). That is the correct religion of God.

Note 1. God explains why Judaism with the Torah Taurat and Christianity with the Gospel Injil and Islam with the Quran are the same belief in one God who is the creator of every creation.

Note 2. Not all Christians and Jews and Muslims are the same meaning in every generation there are some Christians and Muslims and Jews who are correctly worshiping God.

The Christian and Jew who believed in one God like the Muslim who believed in one God and who did good deeds on the Earth will be successful (Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69).

Note 3. The sins of the prophets is a reminder to humans not to elevate the prophets instead of elevating God.

Moses Musa sinned by killing a man and the messiah king David Dawud sinned by adultery (represented in the story of a man who had one female sheep in the sin of ewe, the sin involving a female) and murder and the messiah king Solomon Sulaiman sinned by marriage to foreign wives who brought idol worship to Israel so that every human who comes after them can know that when you repent and correct your behaviour God will forgive all your sins without a blood sacrifice in Psalm 32:5, Psalm 51:17 - 51:19 in Tanakh or Psalm 51:15 - 51:17 in a Christian Bible, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8.

Note 4. Those Muslims in the past who elevated Prophet Muhammad after his death and those Jews who elevated Prophet Ezra in the time of Prophet Muhammad and those Christians who elevated Prophet Jesus Isa in the time of Prophet Muhammad will have problems because they elevated prophets instead of elevating only God (Quran 3:64 and Quran 4:123).

Interpretations of the Quran (Al-Quran, Al Quran, Koran).

This is an interpretation of some of the meanings in the Quran.

This is not a perfect translation of the Quran because the Quran is in the Arabic language.

The Arabic language in the Quran must be understood as it was understood over 1400 years ago.

God guides who He wills to the correct understanding of the Quran.

In the English language the word Allah is God.

God (Allah) is the creator of the Jews, Christians, Muslims and everyone and everything that exists.
