Comment 1. The events before the revelation of Quran 9:1 – 9:13.

1. Tribes in Arabia made different peace treaties with different tribes stating the agreements and sometimes stating the duration of the peace treaty.

2. In 6 AH (628 CE, 638 AD) the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah between the stone idol worshippers of the tribe of Quraish Quraysh in Makkah and their allies and the Muslims in Madinah and their allies was agreed to be for 10 years but was violated almost 2 years into that treaty meaning it had 8 more years before the term of its end.

3. In the 8th month of Sha‘ban 8 AH (630 CE, 630 AD) the tribe of Banu Bakr an ally of the stone idol worshipper tribe of Quraish Quraysh attacked the tribe of Banu Khuza'a which was an ally of the Muslims.

The attack and killings by the tribe of Banu Bakr on the tribe of Banu Khuza'a at the Banu Khuza'a water hole al-Watir south of Makkah was a violation of the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah which promised peace between the Muslims and the stone idol worshippers of the tribe of Quraish Quraysh and the allies of both groups.

4. Prophet Muhammad sent a man to Makkah to confirm what happened.

5. Prophet Muhammad asked the tribe of the Quraish Quraysh to pay the blood money for those of Banu Khuza’a that were killed or to end their alliance with the killers or a third option which would end the peace treaty.

6. The Quraish Quraysh chose the third option which ended the peace treaty but later tried to renew the treaty and when that was refused they would surrender Makkah to the Muslim Army without fighting.

7. In the 9th month of Ramadan 8AH (630 CE, 630 AD) which is one month after the month of Sha‘ban the Muslim Army entered Makkah without fighting and Prophet Muhammad told the stone idol worshippers in Makkah that their lives and the property in their homes were safe.

Prophet Muhammad had forgiven the years of persecution against Muslims which had come from the stone idol worshippers in Makkah which was the home town of Prophet Muhammad.

8. Prophet Muhammad showed the people of Makkah and Arabia that stone statues had no power to help anyone because those statues could not even save themselves when he destroyed the stone idols which were inside the Kabah 1400 years ago in the same way Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had done to the stone idols in his home town 3700 years ago and as Prophet Moses Musa had done to the idol of the golden calf at Mount Sinai Horeb 3200 years ago.

9. Prophet Muhammad now had supreme authority in Makkah which was the centre of stone idol worship where each year tribes from all over Arabia would travel to worship stone statues and trade with each other.

10. The Muslims had been the authority in Makkah for 3 months when the time of the yearly pilgrimage brought the leaders of the tribes of Arabia to Makkah to worship stone idols and trade with each other and Quran 9:1 – 9:13 is the message given to the stone idol worshipping tribes of Arabia telling them that this is the last time they will be allowed to worship stones at the Kabah in Makkah and the last time they will walk naked around the Kabah and starting from next year the yearly pilgrimage to the Kabah would only be for the worship of the one God who is the creator of every creation and not for the idol worship of many gods who are nothing but stone images made by men.

Comment 2. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

Quran 9:1 is removing the mercy of God on stone idol worshippers who violate peace treaties or who support those who fight against the Muslims (but not on stone idol worshippers mentioned in Quran 9:4, Quran 9:6 and Quran 9:7) and because mercy is removed in the first verse of Quran chapter 9 it does not begin with words of mercy “In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” however to show that the forgiveness and the mercy of God is available to those stone idol worshippers who repent these words are found in Quran 9:5.

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 3. Quran 9:1 - 9:13 shows how Prophet Muhammad ended the public worship of stone statues in Arabia in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Moses Musa and Prophet Jonah Yunus were inspired to end the public worship of stone statues in their time.

Quran 10:98 Verse 10:98 If only there had been a community (of old) that believed (after receiving warning of God’s punishment) and had faith (so that their faith saved them from the loss of God’s mercy) like the people of Prophet Jonah Yunus (who were saved when they believed in God after accepting God’s warning that was delivered by Prophet Jonah Yunus). When they believed We (God) removed the shame in the life of the world from them and allowed them to enjoy a period of comfort.

See. The idol worshippers in Nineveh today in Iraq in Quran 68:1 and Quran 68:49 in Quran chapter 68.

Quran 9:1 Koran 9:1 Verse 9:1 Ayah 9:1 Ayat 9:1 Aya 9:1 God and His Messenger are free from obligations made with the stone idol worshippers.

Comment 1. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 2. People in Arabia depended on peace treaties for their security.

God is free from obligations with the stone idol worshipper’s means stone idol worshippers need to find another relationship for their security.

The stone idols in the Kabah were destroyed as proof they are not gods and people in Arabia quickly abandoned the belief in many gods and adopted the Muslim belief that there is only one God who is the creator of every creation.

Comment 3. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:2 Koran 9:2 Verse 9:2 Ayah 9:2 Ayat 9:2 Aya 9:2 So travel (freely) in the land for four months (from the 12th month of Zil-Haj 8 AH to the 3rd month of Rabi'-uth-thani 9AH) and know that you (the stone idol worshippers) cannot escape (the law of) God (who rewards the good and punishes the evil) and that God shall disgrace the disbelievers (who pray to statues of many stone gods who can create nothing and who have no power to help anyone instead of praying to God who is the one creator of every creation).

Comment 1. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 2. People in Arabia depended on peace treaties for their security.

God is free from obligations with the stone idol worshippers and God gives the stone idol worshippers a 4 month peace treaty so they can find another relationship for their security.

The stone idols in the Kabah were destroyed as proof they are not gods and people quickly abandoned the belief in many gods and adopted the Muslim belief that there is only one God who is the creator of every creation.

Comment 3. The warning to abandon stone idol worship in Arabia is similar to the warning delivered in an earlier time by Prophet Jonah Yunus.

a. God decreed that the warning of punishment would be heeded by most of the stone idol worshippers in Arabia in the time of Prophet Muhammad in the same way that the stone idol worshippers in Nineveh today in Iraq heeded the warning of punishment in the days of Prophet Jonah Yunus.

b. God replaced stone idol worship in Canaan with the worship of God by the Children of Israel in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine as described in the Torah Taurat and Quran.

c. God replaced stone idol worship in Arabia with the worship of God when people in Arabia believed in God and abandoned stone statue worship in the same way as stone idol worship was replaced with the worship of God in the time of Prophet Jonah Yunus as described in the Torah Taurat and Quran 10:98.

Comment 4. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:3 Koran 9:3 Verse 9:3 Ayah 9:3 Ayat 9:3 Aya 9:3 And an announcement (is made) from God and His (God’s) Messenger to the people (gathered together at the camping sites in Makkah) on the day of the greater pilgrimage (the Day of Sacrifice in 8 AH, 630 AD, 630 CE, the 12th month of Zil-Haj in Makkah) that God and His (God’s) Messenger are free from obligations to the (stone) idol worshippers (and no stone idol worship will be allowed at the Kabah after this year nor will people be allowed to walk naked around the Kabah after this year). If you (stone idol worshippers) repent then it shall be better for you but if you turn away then know that you cannot escape (the law of) God (who rewards the good and punishes the evil). And give good news to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment (in answer to the request they used to make in Makkah in Quran 22:47 to “hurry the punishment”. Continued in Quran 9:4).

Comment 1. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 2. The warning to abandon stone idol worship in Arabia is similar to the warning delivered in an earlier time by Prophet Jonah Yunus.

See Quran 9:2 comments.

Comment 3. Why is it better for the stone idol worshippers to repent?

When stone idol worshippers repent for their evil behaviour they become your brother in religion meaning they abandon stone idol worship and accept God.

Quran 9:11 Verse 9:11 But if they (the stone idol worshippers) repent and establish regular prayer (to God) and give regular charity (to the poor) then they are your brothers in religion. We (God) explain Our (God’s) revelations for people who have understanding.

Comment 4. "Good news" of a painful punishment.

Why does God say “And give good news to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment?”

The “good news” in Quran 9:3 is the answer to the request made in the past by the stone idol worshippers in Makkah in Quran 22:47 “to hurry the punishment” meaning to bring the punishment quickly to them.

Quran 22:47 Verse 22:47 And they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah Arabia) ask you to hurry the punishment (from God). God does not fail in His (God’s) promise (to punish the wicked). A Day with your Lord (God) is (like) a thousand years by your (human) measurement (meaning one thousand years of human history is a day’s work for God meaning if humans live for 100 years then ten generations of humans have passed away in the sight of God in one day meaning 10 generations of humans have lived and died in the sight of God in 1 day meaning everything that humans and angels do in one thousand years is like one day for God meaning that in the existence of God a thousand years for humans are like one day's work for God or a thousand years for humans is like a few hours in a human night for God or a thousand years for humans is like a few minutes in a human day for God or a thousand years for humans is like one human second for God or a thousand years for humans is like a millionth of a human second for God or a thousand years for humans is like a billionth of a human second for God because time does not apply to God. God created time. Time only applies to the creation. God is not a creation. God is the creator. Time does not apply to God because God knows the past and present and future. Time only applies to creations that are born and die. Time does not apply to the creator who was never born and will never die meaning what God has promised will come according to the time decreed by the will of God and not according to the time desired by the will of humans).

Comment 5. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:4 Koran 9:4 Verse 9:4 Ayah 9:4 Ayat 9:4 Aya 9:4 (continued from Quran 9:3 “... And give good news to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment) except those whom you (Muslims) have (peace treaties) among the idol worshippers who have not failed you in anything (in the treaty) and who have not supported anyone against you (Muslims), so (Muslims) fulfil with them their treaty to the end of their term (which will be honoured by the Muslims no matter how long is the agreed duration of that treaty meaning the 4 month treaty in Quran 9:2 is not referring to the treaties which have been honoured by stone idol worshippers and mentioned here in Quran 9:4 because treaties must be honoured by both parties as explained in Quran 9:7 “As long as the idol worshippers are upright to you then you must be upright to them because God loves the righteous” and this love of righteous behaviour is also confirmed in this verse). Indeed, God loves the righteous (meaning Quran 9:1, 9:2, 9:3 and 9:5 is a message for idol worshippers who violated their treaty with the Muslims however those who had treaties mentioned in Quran 9:4 abandoned stone idol worship very quickly as did most people in Arabia because it was known that one year later the only people allowed to attend the popular yearly pilgrimage and trade near the Kabah would be those who prayed only to God and stone idol worshippers would not be allowed near the Kabah in 4 months time as described in Quran 9:5 except those mentioned in Quran 9:4, Quran 9:6 and Quran 9:7).

Comment 1. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat.

Look at Quran 9:5 which is after Quran 9:4.

“Kill the idol worshippers” in Quran 9:5 means those who are fighting and killing you because it does not include the idol worshippers in Quran 9:4 because these idol worshippers honoured their treaty with the Muslims and continue to honour their treaty with the Muslims and they did not and do not fight against the Muslims in Quran 9:4 showing that the meaning in Quran 9:5 of “Kill the idol worshippers” is kill those who are fighting and killing you in combat.

Comment 2. Why must Muslims continue treaties with stone idol worshippers to the end of their term in Quran 9:4?

Quran 9:4 Verse 9:4 “… God loves the righteous”

The meaning of “God loves the righteous” in Quran 9:4 is shown in Quran 9:7 to mean “As long as they (the idol worshippers) are upright (respectful) to you then you must be upright (respectful) to them. God loves the righteous.”

Comment 3. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 4. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:5 Koran 9:5 Verse 9:5 Ayah 9:5 Ayat 9:5 Aya 9:5 Then, when the sacred months (when fighting is forbidden near Mecca Makkah) have passed (some of the stone idol worshippers might reject the announcement in Quran 9:1 – 9:3 ending stone idol worship at the Kabah and try to take Makkah so they can return the Kabah to stone idol worship so be prepared to), kill the idol worshippers wherever you find them (fighting and killing you and this is confirmed in “Quran 2:190 And fight in the way of God those who fight you and do not go over the legal limits. God does not like the transgressors.” In the next verse is the same as in Quran 9:5. “Quran 2:191 And kill them wherever you find them …” meaning the words “kill the idol worshippers wherever you find them” means those stone idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you as shown in Quran 2:190 – 2:191. This is confirmed in Quran 9:4 where idol worshippers who have honoured their peace treaty and do not support anyone who is fighting Muslims are not to be harmed as confirmed in Quran 9:6 where idol worshippers who ask for protection must be protected from harm and confirmed in “Quran 9:28 All you who believe. The idol worshippers are impure in their worship so do not let them come near the sacred Mosque after this year” meaning fight the stone idol worshippers if they try to come near the sacred Mosque after this year. The correct understanding of Quran 9:5 is fight people who are fighting you. Fight in the Quran never means fight people who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting civilians and fight in the Quran never means fighting innocent people and fight in the Quran never means fighting unarmed children or unarmed women or unarmed men who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people only because of their nationality or only because of their religion and fight in the Quran never means fighting people who do not wish to fight you or who surrender to you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people with whom you have a peace treaty unless the peace treaty has been violated and cancelled) and take them (captive, as prisoners of war) by besieging and ambushing them on every path. But if they (the stone idol worshippers) repent and establish regular prayer and pay regular charity to the poor then leave their way free (to travel to the Kabah to worship God). God is forgiving and merciful. (Most people in Arabia abandoned stone idol worship very quickly because one year later the only people allowed to attend the popular yearly pilgrimage and trade near the Kabah would be those who prayed only to God and not those who prayed to stone statues).

Comment 1. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 9:4.

“Kill the idol worshippers” in Quran 9:5 does not include the idol worshippers in Quran 9:4 because those idol worshippers honoured their treaty with the Muslims and continue to honour their treaty with the Muslims and they did not and do not fight against the Muslims.

Comment 2. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 9:6.

“Kill the idol worshippers” in Quran 9:5 does not include the idol worshippers in Quran 9:6 who ask for protection from Muslims because they do not want to fight Muslims.

Comment 3. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 9:7.

As long as the idol worshippers are upright (respectful and honest) to you then you must be upright (respectful and honest) to them because that is called righteous behaviour.

Quran 9:7 Verse 9:7 “… As long as they (the idol worshippers) are upright (respectful and honest) to you then you must be upright (respectful and honest) to them. God loves the righteous.”

Comment 4. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 9:36.

The words “kill the idol worshippers wherever you find them” mean those stone idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you.

Quran 9:36 Verse 9:36 “… And fight the (stone) idol worshippers together (in alliances) as they fight you together (in alliances) …”

Comment 5. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 2:190 - 2:191.

The words “kill the idol worshippers wherever you find them” mean those stone idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you.

Quran 2:190 Verse 2:190 And fight in the way of God those who fight you …”

Quran 2:191 Verse 2:191 And kill them wherever you find them (fighting and killing you) …”

Quran 2:192 Verse 2:192 Then if they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) cease (stop fighting), (then you stop fighting). God is forgiving and Most Merciful.

Quran 2:193 Verse 2:193 And fight them (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah meaning fight people who are fighting you. It is illegal to kill people who are not fighting such as people who are in places of worship in Quran 2:114 and Quran 22:40. Fight in the Quran never means fight people who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting civilians and fight in the Quran never means fighting innocent people and fight in the Quran never means fighting unarmed children or unarmed women or unarmed men who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people only because of their nationality or only because of their religion and fight in the Quran never means fighting people who do not wish to fight you or who surrender to you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people with whom you have a peace treaty unless the peace treaty has been violated and cancelled. See Quran 9:28 and Quran 9:29) until there is no oppression (meaning persecution by the stone idol worshippers of Muslims because of their religion) and (the Kabah in Makkah and worship) becomes the religion for God (and not for stone idol worship). Then if they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) cease (stop fighting) then (you stop fighting and let there be) no hostility (no fighting and no bad feelings towards the stone idol worshippers for what they did to Muslims in the past) except against (those who continue to be) the oppressors (meaning those stone idol worshippers who continue persecuting Muslims only because of their religion).

Comment 6. “Kill the idol worshippers” means kill the idol worshippers who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Quran 9:28 and Quran 9:29.

Quran 9:28 Verse 9:28 (Revealed in 9 AH) All you who believe. The (stone) idol worshippers are impure (in their worship) so do not let them come near the sacred Mosque (“Sacred Mosque” is l-masjida l-harhama, the Kabaa in Mecca, the Kabah in Makkah) after this (their last) year (of stone idol worship at the Kabah in Makkah see Quran 9:29). …”

Quran 9:29 Verse 9:29 (Revealed in 9 AH) Fight those (stone idol worshippers) who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day (if they fight you). And (fight those hypocrites among the Muslims) who do not make unlawful what God and His Messenger has made unlawful (if they fight you). And (fight those) who do not acknowledge the religion of the truth from among those who were given the Scripture (meaning the Christians and the Jews if they fight you) until they willingly pay (the yearly tax for non-Muslims called Jizya, Jizyah, Cizye, Gaziyat instead of the religious tax paid by Muslims called Zakah, Zakat) while they are subdued (meaning while Jews and Christians are living peacefully under the authority of the living messenger of God and his appointed governors in lands under Islamic rule).

Comment 7. “Kill the idol worshippers” can only mean “kill the idol worshippers” who are fighting and killing you in combat in Quran 9:5 as shown in Comments 1 – 6 above.

Comment 8. When is fighting authorized against the stone idol worshippers?

a. The purpose of fighting is to stop aggression.

Quran 9:12 Verse 9:12 And if they (the stone idol worshippers) break their oaths after they have made a treaty and defame your religion then fight the leaders of the disbelief because they show that their oaths (in a treaty) are nothing to them. (Fight them) so that they may cease (their aggression towards you).

Quran 9:13 Verse 9:13 (This verse explains why the Muslims were at war with the stone idol worshippers in Makkah after and before the time of the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah) Shall you (Muslims) not fight a people (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) who broke their oaths (in the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah meaning their word cannot be trusted) and were determined to drive out the Messenger (Prophet Muhammad when he was living in his home town of Makkah) and they began to attack you first (by aiding their ally who killed people allied to the Muslims and therefore violated the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah). Do you (Muslims) fear them? Surely God has more right that you should fear Him (God), if you are (true) believers (in God).

b. Fight the stone idol worshippers if they come near the sacred Mosque to fight you with the intention to take control of the Mosque so they can reestablish stone idol worship.

c. Fight people if they fight you.

Quran 9:29 Verse 9:29 Fight those (stone idol worshippers) who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day (if they fight you). And (fight those hypocrites among the Muslims) who do not make unlawful what God and His Messenger has made unlawful (if they fight you). And (fight those) who do not acknowledge the religion of the truth from among those who were given the Scripture (meaning the Christians and the Jews if they fight you) until they willingly pay (the yearly tax for non-Muslims called Jizya, Jizyah, Cizye, Gaziyat instead of the religious tax paid by Muslims called Zakah, Zakat) while they are subdued (meaning while Jews and Christians are living peacefully under the authority of the living messenger of God and his appointed governors in lands under Islamic rule).

d. Stop fighting if they stop fighting.

Quran 2:192 Verse 2:192 Then if they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) cease (stop fighting), (then you stop fighting). God is forgiving and Most Merciful.

Quran 2:193 Verse 2:193 “… Then if they (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) cease (stop fighting) then (you stop fighting and let there be) no hostility (no fighting and no bad feelings towards the stone idol worshippers for what they did to Muslims in the past) except against (those who continue to be) the oppressors (meaning those stone idol worshippers who continue persecuting Muslims only because of their religion).

Comment 9. When is friendship permitted between Muslims and stone idol worshippers?

Quran 60:8 Verse 60:8 God does not forbid you from those (people) who do not fight against you because of your religion and did not drive you out from your homes. You should show them kindness and deal justly with them. God loves those who act justly.

Comment 10. Why does Quran chapter 9 not start in the name of God?

“In the Name of God, the most kind, the most merciful” appears twice in Quran chapter 27 in Quran 27:0 and Quran 27:30 so that in the 114 chapters of the Quran these words appear 114 times.

Comment 11. The warning to abandon stone idol worship in Arabia is similar to the warning delivered in an earlier time by Prophet Jonah Yunus.

See Quran 9:2 comments.

Comment 12. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

The Quran is the history of how God inspired one man to replace the worship of stone idols with the worship of God.

We need to learn from all the verses in the Quran and know that the command from God for you and me today is the command to worship God and to be an example of goodness to the whole world.

Quran 6:158 Verse 6:158 "... belief in it (God and the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) shall not help any soul …. if in belief (he or she) did not earn good (by doing righteous deeds in their life). ....”

Quran 41:8 Verse 41:8 “For those who believe and do good deeds, for them is an everlasting reward (in Paradise Jannah).”

The error of misunderstanding the Quran as a command for you and me to fight today would be the same error as a Jew misunderstanding the Torah as a command to fight today or a Christian misunderstanding the Gospel as a command to fight today.

The Torah is the history and commands given to Prophet Moses Musa and his people 3200 years ago which established Judaism.

The Gospel is the history and commands given to Prophet Jesus Isa and his people 2000 years ago which established Christianity.

The Quran is the history and commands given to Prophet Muhammad and his people 1400 years ago which established Islam.

The command from God for me and you today in the Torah and Gospel and Quran is to worship God and learn from the recorded verses of history in the Books of God.

The command from God for me and you today in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is to worship God and learn from the knowledge that has been given to all humankind.

Today there is no Holy war because only a prophet knows the will of the Holy God.

In all wars today no one fights for God because everyone is intentionally or unintentionally killing innocent people.

Today the righteous among the Jews, Christians and Muslims are the people who show kindness and charity and peacemaking. They are the best example of goodness to the whole world (Quran 4:114).

Quran 4:114 Verse 4:114 There is no good in most of their (the people’s) private conversation except in the person who calls for charity, kindness and peace making between humans, he (the person) who does this (charity, kindness and peacemaking between humans) and seeks the approval of God, We (God) shall give them a great reward (in Paradise Jannah in the Hereafter).

Quran 9:6 Koran 9:6 Verse 9:6 Ayah 9:6 Ayat 9:6 Aya 9:6 And if any of the idol worshippers asks for your protection (because they do not want to fight Muslims), then (Prophet Muhammad) protect that person (the idol worshipper) so they may hear the Word of God and afterward take that person to their place of safety (to their home which is located with their people so that they might think about God). That (introduction to the word of God) is because they are a people who do not know (God).

Note 1. Look at Quran 9:5 which is before Quran 9:6.

“Kill the idol worshippers” in Quran 9:5 does not include the idol worshippers in Quran 9:6 who ask for protection from Muslims because they do not want to fight Muslims showing that the meaning in Quran 9:5 of “Kill the idol worshippers” is kill those who are fighting and killing you in combat.

Note 2. Muslims must protect stone idol worshippers who do not fight against them.

Note 3. Muslims must protect all people both believers and disbelievers who do not fight against them.

Note 4. Muslims must protect all civilians both believers and disbelievers because they are not fighting.

Comment 1. Why does God order the protection of disbelievers during fighting?

Muslims must protect stone idol worshippers who do not fight against them.

Muslims must protect all people both believers and disbelievers who do not fight against them.

Muslims must protect all civilians both believers and disbelievers because they are not fighting.

1. Why is the life of a disbeliever very important?

God gives every human a life time to discover the meaning of life.

The life of a disbeliever is very important because the disbeliever is given a life time to discover the purpose of life.

God forgives every sin including the sin of idol worship if humans ask for God’s forgiveness.

In Islam this life is very important because this life determines what shall happen in the hereafter.

The life of a disbeliever is very important because while they have life they have the chance to find correct guidance.

2. Love the disbelievers because God is ready to forgive them.

No one can forgive without love in their heart.

Love in the heart removes hate from the heart and the result is forgiveness.

God loves those who do good deeds to other people (Quran 5:13).

The way of God is forgiveness.

The cause of God is forgiveness.

The example of God is forgiveness.

Righteous are those who forgive.

The way of the Quran is forgiveness.

The cause of the Quran is forgiveness.

The example of the Quran is forgiveness.

The good doers are those who forgive.

The way of Prophet Muhammad is forgiveness.

The cause of Prophet Muhammad is forgiveness.

The example of Prophet Muhammad is forgiveness.

The best of creations are those who forgive.

God forgives those who forgive.

God rewards those who forgive.

If you pardon what people have done and overlook the faults of people and forgive people then God is forgiving and merciful to you (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).

God forgives you if you forgive others (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).

Love your neighbour (Quran 42:43).

Love your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36, Quran 42:43 and Quran 60:7).

Forgive your enemy (Quran 41:34 – 41:36 and Quran 42:43. God will forgive even those who mocked Prophet Muhammad and those who plotted to kill Prophet Muhammad if they repent and ask God for forgiveness in Quran 8:30 – 8:33).

Forgive your neighbour (Quran 42:43).

Forgive disbelievers (Quran 45:14).

Forgive believers (Quran 49:10).

Forgive Jews (Quran 5:13).

Forgive the killer (Quran 5:45 and Quran 85:10).

Exploding bombs in crowds is forbidden by God (Quran 48:25).

Fighting today is not in the cause of God (Quran 48:25 comments).

If you pardon what people have done and overlook the faults of people and forgive people then God is forgiving and merciful to you (Quran 39:53, Quran 42:43, Quran 45:14 and Quran 64:14).

Quran 5:8 Verse 5:8 “... do not let (your) hatred of a people make you act unjustly. Act justly, that is nearer to righteousness and fear God. God is aware of what you do.”

Evil are those people who celebrate the killing of humans when God has given all humans a lifetime in which to discover God and then to ask God to forgive them.

Quran 8:33 Verse 8:33 But God would not punish them (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) while you (Prophet Muhammad) were with them, nor shall He (God) punish them while they (might) seek forgiveness.

3. God does not love evil behaviour.

Whoever kills an innocent life has committed a terrible crime in the sight of God.

God has ordered humans to save life.

Quran 5:32 Verse 5:32 From that time (humans were warned not to murder and) We (God) decreed on the children of Israel (through the inspiration of the teachers of the Jewish Talmud and confirmed for the Muslim in Quran 6:151) that whoever kills a soul (kills a life, kills a person) it is as if he has killed all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to warn humans against the great evil of killing one human soul) unless it is in retaliation for murder or for misbehaviour in the land. And whoever saves it (saves a life, saves a soul, saves a person) it is as if he has saved all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to teach humans the great goodness in the saving of one human soul). Our (God’s) messengers came to them (the children of Israel) with clear arguments but still after that many of them continued to commit great crimes (by killing humans unlawfully) in the land (so this is a message from God to the human not to commit the great crime of killing human life but instead to work to save human life).

Note 1. In the Judgment of God the saving of one human life is a great deed because in the Judgment of God it is like saving every human life on the earth.

Note 2. On the Day of Judgment whoever saved a life will be rewarded with a reward fitting for a person who had saved all humankind if God wills.

Note 3. On the Day of Judgment whoever destroyed a life will be punished with a punishment fitting for a person who had destroyed all humankind if God wills.

Note 4. Human life is equal in the sight of God. Those who save all human life are among the righteous if God wills.

Note 5. Human deeds are not equal in the sight of God. Those who do good deeds to all people are among the righteous if God wills.

Note 6. The saving of one life in this world no matter if that person is Muslim or non Muslim or the saving of one life by guiding a person to goodness so that they are successful in the hereafter is a great deed of goodness in the sight of God.

4. What is the purpose of life?

See 1. Quran 44:38 comments in Quran chapter 44.

See 2. Video. Peaceful Quranic verses all abrogated? NO!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJlfe68jvZ0

See 3. Quran 9:19 comments.

Quran 9:7 Koran 9:7 Verse 9:7 Ayah 9:7 Ayat 9:7 Aya 9:7 How can there be for the idol worshippers a covenant with God and with His (God’s) Messenger except those (tribes of Bani Kinanah and Bani Khuza`ah and Bani Damrah) with whom you made a treaty near the sacred Mosque (al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca Makkah)? As long as they (the idol worshippers) are upright (respectful and honest) to you then you must be upright (respectful and honest) to them. God loves the righteous.

Note 1. Why must Muslims continue treaties with stone idol worshippers to the end of their term in Quran 9:4?

Quran 9:4 Verse 9:4 “… God loves the righteous”

The meaning of “God loves the righteous” in Quran 9:4 is shown in Quran 9:7 to mean “As long as they (the idol worshippers) are upright (respectful and honest) to you then you must be upright (respectful and honest) to them. God loves the righteous.”

Comment 1. Muslims were allies with some respectful and honest stone idol worshipping tribes living near the sacred Mosque.

The violation and cancellation of the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah did not change the requirement for Muslims to honour the treaty with those respectful and honest stone idol worshipping tribes who lived near the Kabah meaning near Makkah because they were faithful allies to the Muslims in that treaty meaning they did not violate that 10 year treaty which still had 8 years duration when it was cancelled between the Muslims and those who violated it.

However all the stone idol worshipping tribes near the Kabah meaning near Makkah adopted the belief in one God within 4 months of the destruction of the stone statues inside the Kabah and the position of Makkah as a centre for pilgrimage and trade in Arabia was maintained and a new framework of security for the people of Arabia had been created based on mutual support instead of support based on tribe.

Quran 9:8 Koran 9:8 Verse 9:8 Ayah 9:8 Ayat 9:8 Aya 9:8 How (can there be a treaty), if whenever they gain dominance over you, they do not respect the treaty nor respect you? They satisfy you with their mouths (meaning, with words) but not with their hearts (meaning, not with sincerity). And most of them are wrongdoers.

Comment 1. The problem of making treaties with some stone idol worshippers.

Quran 9:9 Koran 9:9 Verse 9:9 Ayah 9:9 Ayat 9:9 Aya 9:9 They (the stone idol worshippers) have exchanged the signs of God (they have exchanged the truthfulness given by the believers of God who honour their peace treaties with the stone idol worshippers) for a little gain (meaning the stone idol worshippers break their treaties whenever there is a small advantage for them in this world) and they prevented (people) from (following in) His (God’s) path (meaning the stone idol worshippers prevented people from practicing the religion of God). Evil is what they (the stone idol worshippers) do.

Comment 1. The problem of making treaties with some stone idol worshippers.

Quran 9:10 Koran 9:10 Verse 9:10 Ayah 9:10 Ayat 9:10 Aya 9:10 And they observe toward a believer (in God) neither a bond (of kinship) nor of a treaty (of protection in their relationship with you). These are the transgressors (meaning they do what is evil).

Comment 1. The problem of making treaties with some stone idol worshippers.

Quran 9:11 Koran 9:11 Verse 9:11 Ayah 9:11 Ayat 9:11 Aya 9:11 But if they repent and establish regular prayer (to God) and give regular charity (to the poor) then they are your brothers in religion. We (God) explain Our (God’s) revelations for people who have understanding.

Comment 1. The problem of making treaties with some stone idol worshippers.

Comment 2. Why is it better for the stone idol worshippers to repent?

When stone idol worshippers repent for their evil behaviour they become your brother in religion meaning they abandon stone idol worship and accept God.

Quran 9:12 Koran 9:12 Verse 9:12 Ayah 9:12 Ayat 9:12 Aya 9:12 But if they (the stone idol worshippers) break their oaths after they have made a treaty and defame your religion then fight the leaders of the disbelief because they show that their oaths (in a treaty) are nothing to them. (Fight them) so that they may cease (their aggression towards you).

Comment 1. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:13 Koran 9:13 Verse 9:13 Ayah 9:13 Ayat 9:13 Aya 9:13 (This verse explains why the Muslims were at war with the stone idol worshippers in Makkah after and before the time of the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah) Shall you (Muslims) not fight a people (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) who broke their oaths (in the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah meaning their word cannot be trusted) and were determined to drive out the Messenger (Prophet Muhammad when he was living in his home town of Makkah) and they began to (fight) you first (by aiding their ally who killed people allied to the Muslims and therefore violated the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah). Do you (Muslims) fear them? Surely God has more right that you should fear Him (God), if you are (true) believers (in God).

Comment 1. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:14 Koran 9:14 Verse 9:14 Ayah 9:14 Ayat 9:14 Aya 9:14 Fight them (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah for the violation of the Peace Treaty of Hudaybiyyah). God shall punish them with your hands, and He (God) shall disgrace them and give you (grace through) victory over them, and He (God) shall heal (the anger in) the heart of the believers (of God caused by the killing of some among the tribe of Banu Khuza'a who are allies with the Muslims of Madinah). - (Continued Quran 9:15).

Comment 1. See Quran 9:0 comments.

Quran 9:15 Koran 9:15 Verse 9:15 Ayah 9:15 Ayat 9:15 Aya 9:15 - And He (God) shall remove the anger in their hearts (caused by the killing of some among the tribe of Banu Khuza'a who are allies with the Muslims of Madinah). God shall turn (in mercy) to whom He (God) wills. God is (all) knowing and wise.

Comment 1. See Quran 9:0 and 9:14 comments.

Quran 9:16 Koran 9:16 Verse 9:16 Ayah 9:16 Ayat 9:16 Aya 9:16 (The news of what the stone idol worshippers did has angered you Muslims) or did you think you (Muslims) would be left (without being tested) when God has not yet made evident those who strive among you without seeking help from anyone but God and His (God’s) Messenger and those who believe in Him (God)? God knows what you do.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:17 Koran 9:17 Verse 9:17 Ayah 9:17 Ayat 9:17 Aya 9:17 It is not for the (stone) idol worshippers (of Makkah) that they maintain the Mosque of God (“Mosque of God” is masajida l-lahi, masajid of God, the Kabah in Makkah) while they bear witness against themselves with disbelief (in God by worshipping stone statues). For those (stone idol worshippers) their deeds are worthless (in the sight of God because they believe in stone statues which are creations and not in God who is the creator of every creation) and in the fire they shall live forever (in the Hereafter).

Note 1. Quran 17:60 Verse 17:60 “.... We (God) warn (people to do what is good and avoid what is evil) and make them afraid (of God by describing the home for evil doers in Hell Fire in the Hereafter) but it only increases them (some of the humans) in nothing but greater disobedience against God (and the commandment to do what is good and avoid what is evil).

Quran 9:18 Koran 9:18 Verse 9:18 Ayah 9:18 Ayat 9:18 Aya 9:18 The mosque of God (“Mosque of God” is masajida l-lahi, masajid of God, the Kabah in Makkah) should only be maintained by those who believe in God and the Last Day and establishes prayer and gives zakah (yearly tax) and does not fear anyone except God. Maybe those (who do such righteous things) are among the guided.

Quran 9:19 Koran 9:19 Verse 9:19 Ayah 9:19 Ayat 9:19 Aya 9:19 Do you consider the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque (the Sacred Mosque l-masjidi l-harami, Al-Masjid-al-Haraam at the Kabah in Makkah by the stone idol worshippers) as equal to the worth (of the deeds) of those who believe in God and the Last Day and who strive in the way of God? They (meaning the deeds of the stone idol worshippers) are not considered equal by God (compared to the good deeds of those who believe in God). God does not guide the wrong-doers (meaning the stone idol worshippers in Makkah who are misguided by their belief in stone statues) - (Continued Quran 9:20).

Comment 1. God never said some human life is equal to the blood of a dog as is found in some human hadith stories.

There is a difference between the value of a human life and the value of a deed.

A hadith story about Umar shows how to separate hadith stories which confirm the Quran from hadith stories which contradict the Quran.

(During the Peace Treaty of Al-Hudaybiyyah in 6 AH 628 CE 628 AD between the stone idol worshippers and the Muslims), Prophet Muhammad said, "Oh Abu Jandal, be patient and control yourself, for God will provide relief and a means of escape for you (from the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) and those of you who are helpless. We (Muslims in Yathrib) have made peace with them (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah) and we and they have invoked God in our agreement and we cannot deal falsely with them."

Umar jumped up and walked alongside Abu Jahl, saying, "Be patient, for they are only idol worshippers, the blood of one of them is but the blood of a dog," and he moved the hilt of his sword close up to him (Abu Jahl).

Umar used to say, "I hoped that he (Abu Jahl) would take the sword and kill his father with it, but the man spared his father and so the matter ended." (Sirat p. 505).

a. This hadith story says Prophet Muhammad commanded Muslims to respect the peace agreement between the idol worshippers and the Muslims and then says Umar disobeyed the prophet by offering his sword so a Muslim could kill an idol worshipper which would have violated that peace treaty.

Quran 24:12 Ayah 24:12 Why did not the believers (both) men and women when you heard it (the lie that Aishah the wife of Prophet Muhammad had committed illegal sexual intercourse with another man, or in this example of the lies in hadith stories that Umar disobeyed the orders of the prophet to respect the peace agreement between the idol worshippers and the Muslim by offering his sword so a Muslim could kill an idol worshipper which would have violated that peace treaty) think good about your own people and say, “This (story or hadith) is clearly a lie?”

b. This hadith story says Umar said the blood of an idol worshipper is but the blood of a dog however 1400 years ago most Muslims were idol worshippers before they found Islam meaning their blood was never “but the blood of a dog” because Quran 5:32 says in the sight of God one human life is equal to all the human lives on the earth (and each human is given a lifetime to find their true belief).

Whoever kills a person it is a crime equal to killing all of mankind (Quran 5:32).

Whoever saves a life has done a deed that is equal to saving all of mankind (Quran 5:32).

Whoever kills an innocent life has committed a terrible crime in the sight of God (Quran 5:32).

Quran 24:12 Ayah 24:12 Why did not the believers (both) men and women when you heard it (the lie that Aishah the wife of Prophet Muhammad had committed illegal sexual intercourse with another man, or in this example of the lies in hadith stories that Umar said the blood of idol worshippers is but the blood of a dog when 1400 years ago most Muslims were idol worshippers before they found Islam and Quran 5:32 teaches that the life of one person is equal to all the human lives on the earth) think good about your own people and say, “This (story or hadith) is clearly a lie?”

c. This hadith story says Umar hoped a Muslim would kill his father however Quran 4:36, Quran 17:23 and Quran 31:14 commands Muslims to show kindness to their parents.

Quran 4:36 Ayah 4:36 “… do good for parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, neighbours who are related, neighbours who are strangers, companions that are with you, travellers (whom you meet) and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess (meaning, whom you own). God does not like those that are proud and boastful.

Quran 17:23 Ayah 17:23 Your Lord (God) has decreed… (that you show) kindness to parents. If one or both of them reach old age with you then (be careful and) do not say words of disrespect (disapproval or irritation) to them nor shout at them (in anger) but speak to them with gracious words.

Quran 31:14 Ayah 31:14 And We (God) have enjoined people (to care) for their parents. A person’s mother looked after them in weakness (when they were a baby) and during their two years of weaning (they drank milk from their mother’s breast) so give thanks to Me (God) and to your parents. To Me (God) is the (final) destination (in the Hereafter).

d. The Quran says that when you hear stories which contradict what the Quran teaches you must reject those stories because they are false stories which teach the opposite to what is taught in the Quran.

Quran 77:50 Verse 77:50 In what statement (words, news, reports, information, message, hadith), after it (the verses of God in the Quran), shall they (the humans and the jinn) believe?

Note 1. Quran 7:185, Quran 25:29, Quran 25:30, Quran 31:6, Quran 39:23, Quran 45:6 and Quran 77:50 asks when you have the word of God in the Quran what other report would you believe?

Quran 24:12 Ayah 24:12 Why did not the believers (both) men and women when you heard it (the story or hadith which contradicts the teaching in the Quran) think good about your own people and say, “This (story or hadith) is clearly a lie?”

Human life is equal in the eyes of God.

God’s order in Quran 5:32 to the children of Israel is based on the first murder on the earth which occurred long before the children of Israel existed.

That shows that this law of God applies to all humans in all times who believe the word of God.

This is because God has made clear that God regards one human life as equal to every human life that God has created and it is for God to judge on the Day of Judgement what each person did in the life that God gives to each person.

Quran 9:19 Verse 9:19 Do you consider the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the sacred Mosque (Al-Masjid-al-Haram at the Kabah in Mecca Makkah by the stone idol worshippers) as equal to the worth (of the devout service) of those who believe in God and the Last Day and who strive in the cause of God? They (meaning their deeds) are not considered equal by God. God does not guide the wrong-doers.

Note 1. Human deeds are not equal in the eyes of God.

God will judge on the Day of Judgement what each person did in the life that God gives to each person.

That judgement is based on their deeds.

Quran 9:94 Verse 9:94 They (the hypocrites) shall make excuse to you (Muslims) when you return to them (after Tabouk). Say (to them) “Make no excuse because we do not believe you. God has told us news about you. God and His (God’s) Messenger shall observe your deeds and then you shall be brought back (resurrected) to Him (God) who knows the seen and the unseen and He (God) shall tell you what you used to do.

Quran 9:105 Verse 9:105 And say (to them), Do (as you will) and God shall see your deeds and (so shall) His (God’s) Messenger and the believers, and you shall be brought back to the knower of the unseen and the seen and (in the Hereafter) He (God) shall tell you what you used to do.

According to this hadith (story from humans) a close follower of Prophet Muhammad judged a human life to be “but the blood of a dog.”

Such a belief is against the wisdom of God’s revelations in the following:

Quran 9:6 Verse 9:6 And if any of the idol worshippers asks for your protection (because they do not want to fight Muslims), then (Prophet Muhammad) protect that person (the idol worshipper) so they may hear the Word of God and afterward take that person to their place of safety (to their home which is located with their people so that they might think about God). That (introduction to the word of God) is because they are a people who do not know (God).

Quran 9:27 Verse 9:27 Then afterward God accepted the repentance of whom He (God) willed (of those who were captured) because God is forgiving and merciful.

Who is obeying God’s Quran and who is obeying human hadith stories that are not confirmed by the Quran?

God gave no guarantee that human hadith stories are true but God guaranteed that God’s Quran is the truth.

The story of Trinity confused millions of Christians to believe that Prophet Jesus Isa is God.

It is certain that Muslims are tested by God with false hadith stories which contradict the Quran in the same way as Christians are tested with false stories like God is a Trinity which contradict the Gospel Injil.

Quran 77:50 Verse 77:50 In what statement (words, news, reports, information, message, hadith), after it (the verses of God in the Quran), shall they (the humans and the jinn) believe?

Note 1. Quran 7:185, Quran 25:29, Quran 25:30, Quran 31:6, Quran 39:23, Quran 45:6 and Quran 77:50 asks when you have the word of God in the Quran what other report would you believe?

Quran 25:30 Verse 25:30 And (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) said, “My Lord (God) my people have abandoned (deserted) this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”

Note 1. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement Prophet Muhammad will say “My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”

Quran 17:88 Verse 17:88 Say (Prophet Muhammad), "If humans and jinn (such as Satan Shaitan) came together to help each other to produce something like the Quran, they could not do it."

Note 1. In the hereafter Satan Shaitan might boast he obeyed Quran 17:88 by whispering hundreds of false hadith stories which teach the opposite to what God and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran.

Do not twist inside your mind the meaning of the words of God in the Quran to agree with hadith stories.

If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it.

If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it.

On the Day of Judgement God judges by the words in the protected Quran.

On the Day of Judgement God does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.

The Quran is the protected word of God including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by God.

Quran 9:20 Koran 9:20 Verse 9:20 Ayah 9:20 Ayat 9:20 Aya 9:20 Those who believe (in God) and have left their homes (in Mecca Makkah and fled to Yathrib because of persecution from the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Makkah) and struggle using their wealth and their lives in the path of God (in Yathrib later called Medina Madinah with Prophet Muhammad) are of a much greater rank with God (compared to those who had not strived with Prophet Muhammad). It is they (those who strive in the way of God) who are successful (in the Hereafter, each person rewarded with a rank according to their deeds).

Comment 1. Striving for a high rank in Paradise.

1. 1400 years ago the believers who lived with a living Prophet of God were promised a high rank in Paradise in Quran 9:20.

2. God promises a high rank in the Hereafter to Jews and Christians.

God loves the Jews.

God loves the Jews with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.

God loves the children of Israel.

God loves the children of Israel with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.

God loves the Christians.

God loves the Christians with the promise of a double reward in the hereafter.

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 like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 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 is confirmed 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.

3. God promises a high rank in the Hereafter to peace makers.

God rewards peacemaking with a high rank in Paradise.

God rewards kindness with a high rank in Paradise.

God rewards charity with a high rank in Paradise.

Quran 4:114 Verse 4:114 There is no good in most of their (the people’s) private conversation except in the person who calls for charity, kindness and peace making between humans, he (the person) who does this (charity, kindness and peace making between humans) and seeks the approval of God, We (God) shall give them a great reward (in Paradise in the Hereafter).

Quran 49:10 Verse 49:10 The believers are brothers. Therefore make peace between your brothers and fear God so that you may obtain mercy (on the Day of Judgement).

4. God promises a high rank in the Hereafter to Muslims who forgive people who did wrong to them or to their relations.

Quran 5:45 Verse 5:45 (And in the Torah Taurat) We (God) gave all the laws, the life for the life, the eye for the eye, the nose for the nose, the ear for the ear, the tooth for the tooth, these are the laws of retaliation for giving wounds that are equal to what were unjustly inflicted. Whoever forgoes it (meaning whoever gives the mercy of not retaliating) shall be rewarded by (God) cancelling some of the sins of the person (that had the right to retaliate but did not retaliate but instead they followed in the way of God’s recommended mercy).Whoever does not judge by what God has revealed are wrong doers.

Comment 2. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:21 Koran 9:21 Verse 9:21 Ayah 9:21 Ayat 9:21 Aya 9:21 Their Lord (God) gives them good news of mercy and acceptance from Him (God), and Gardens (in Paradise) for them of everlasting bliss. – (Continued Quran 9:22).

Quran 9:22 Koran 9:22 Verse 9:22 Ayah 9:22 Ayat 9:22 Aya 9:22 They shall live there (in Paradise) forever. With God there is the greatest reward (in the hereafter).

Quran 9:23 Koran 9:23 Verse 9:23 Ayah 9:23 Ayat 9:23 Aya 9:23 All you who believe. Do not choose your fathers or your brothers for allies (with whom you can confide and trust like a close friend) if they take pleasure in the (guidance of) disbelief (in God) rather than the (guidance of) faith (in God). Whoever of you takes them (the stone idol worshippers who fight against the Muslims) for allies (with whom you can confide and trust like a close friend), shall be wrongdoers.

Comment 1. Alliances have not ended with all stone idol worshippers.

Quran 9:4 Verse 9:4 (continued from Quran 9:3 “... And give good news to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment) except those whom you (Muslims) have (peace treaties) among the idol worshippers who have not failed you in anything (in the treaty) and who have not supported anyone against you (Muslims), so (Muslims) fulfil with them (those idol worshippers who have not violated) their treaty to the end of their term. Indeed, God loves the righteous (meaning Quran 9:1, 9:2, 9:3 and 9:5 is only a message for idol worshippers who violated the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah which will be cancelled in 4 months. Quran 9:1, 9:2, 9:3 and 9:5 is not for idol worshippers who have honoured other peace treaties which will continue to the end of their term as agreed in those treaties).

Note 1. Muslims must protect stone idol worshippers who do not fight against them.

Note 2. Muslims must protect all people both believers and disbelievers who do not fight against them.

Note 3. Muslims must protect all civilians both believers and disbelievers because they are not fighting.

Comment 2. The meaning of allies with whom you can confide and trust like a close friend.

The meaning of gardian with whom you can confide and trust like a close friend.

The meaning of protector with whom you can confide and trust like a close friend.

Quran 9:24 Koran 9:24 Verse 9:24 Ayah 9:24 Ayat 9:24 Aya 9:24 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the believers), If your fathers, and your sons, and your brothers, and your spouses (husband or wifes), and your relatives, and wealth that you have collected, and the commerce for which you fear a decline in trade (because the stone idol worshippers shall not be allowed to gather together to worship stones at the Kabah in Mecca Makkah), and the dwellings you delight in are more loved by you than is God and His (God’s) Messenger and striving in His (God’s) way, then wait until God brings His (God’s) decision (of who is to be punished and who is to be rewarded in the hereafter). God does not (rightly) guide people that do wrong.

Note 1. See Quran 9:23 comments,

Quran 9:25 Koran 9:25 Verse 9:25 Ayah 9:25 Ayat 9:25 Aya 9:25 God had given you victory on many battlefields but on the Day of Hunain (Hunayn, Huneyn) when you rejoiced in your great numbers it did not assist you, the land was confined (in the valley pass) and then you turned back withdrawing (from the battle in fear because of the surprise attack).

Comment 1. The battle at Hunain occurred in 8 AH (630 CE 630 AD) two weeks after the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia had surrendered to Muslim forces from Yathrib Medina without a fight.

A battle between the Muslims and the Bedouin tribe of Hawazin and Thaqif in a valley between Mecca (Makkah) and al-Ta'if (al-Taif) in 8 AH (630 CE, 630 AD) where the Muslims fled after they were surprised by an attack on them in the valley. The Muslims quickly returned and were successful. The Battle of Hunain was at the narrow valley pass at Hunain, 10 miles (16 km) North East of Mecca (Makkah).

Quran 9:26 Koran 9:26 Verse 9:26 Ayah 9:26 Ayat 9:26 Aya 9:26 Then God sent His reassurance on His (God’s) Messenger and on the believers and sent down hosts (angels that) you could not see, and punished the disbelievers (the stone idol worshippers of the Bedouin tribe of Hawazin and Thaqif of who were defeated). That is the reward (of punishment) for the disbelievers (at that battle).

Comment 1. Angels who are under God’s command bring confidence to the hearts of those who believe in God.

Quran 8:10 Verse 8:10 God only gave it (the news that God shall help you with a thousand of the angels one after another in rows, each row containing one thousand angels) as good news and so that your hearts might be at rest. Victory only comes from the help of God. God is mighty and wise.

Quran 8:12 Verse 8:12 When your Lord (God) inspired the angels, (saying to them), “I (God) am with you (God’s Angels) so make those who believe (of the humans) stand firm. I (God) shall throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve (among the stone idol worshippers that were sent from Mecca Makkah to Yathrib Medina to oppose God and His messenger) so strike them (the stone idol worshippers, with hot rods) on the necks and on each fingertip.”

Comment 2. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:27 Koran 9:27 Verse 9:27 Ayah 9:27 Ayat 9:27 Aya 9:27 Then afterward God accepted the repentance of whom He (God) willed (of those who were captured) because God is forgiving and merciful.

Quran 9:28 Koran 9:28 Verse 9:28 Ayah 9:28 Ayat 9:28 Aya 9:28 All you who believe. The (stone) idol worshippers are impure (in their worship) so do not let them come near the sacred Mosque (“Sacred Mosque” is l-masjida l-harhama, the Kabaa in Mecca, the Kabah in Makkah) after this (their last) year (of stone idol worship at the Kabah in Makkah see Quran 9:29). (The people of Makkah obtained a great income each year when stone idol worshippers from all over Arabia brought their stone statues to the sacred Kabah and so it is revealed) if you fear poverty (of trade because the stone idol worshippers shall not be allowed to gather together to worship stones at the Kabah in Makkah) then soon God shall enrich you (by giving to you) from His (God’s) bounty if He (God) wills (as explained by proclaiming the pilgrimage for God to the Kabah in Makkah in Quran 22:27). God is all knowing and wise (See Quran 2:114, Quran 2:190, Quran 2:191, Quran 2:192, Quran 2:193, Quran 2:217, Quran 4:93, Quran 5:32, Quran 5:33, Quran 5:34, Quran 9:28, Quran 9:29, Quran 22:39, and Quran 22:40).

Quran 9:29 Koran 9:29 Verse 9:29 Ayah 9:29 Ayat 9:29 Aya 9:29 (Revealed in 9 AH) Fight those (stone idol worshippers) who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day (if they fight you). And (fight those hypocrites among the Muslims) who do not make unlawful what God and His Messenger has made unlawful (if they fight you). And (fight those) who do not acknowledge the religion of the truth from among those who were given the Scripture (meaning the Christians and the Jews if they fight you) until they willingly pay (the yearly tax for non-Muslims called Jizya, Jizyah, Cizye, Gaziyat instead of the religious tax paid by Muslims called Zakah, Zakat) while they are subdued (meaning while Jews and Christians are living peacefully under the authority of the living messenger of God and his appointed governors in lands under Islamic rule).

Comment 1. The meaning of the word used in Quran 9:29 is subdue because peace is achieved by subduing people from fighting so they are happy and have no reason to fight.

In Quran 9:29 the purpose of subduing people who are fighting is peace and not to humiliate or disgrace because that makes the subduer become arrogant and misuse their power unjustly against peaceful people who are non Muslim citizens of a Muslim state.

The meaning in Quran 9:29 is “while they are subdued”, not disgraced and not humiliated and not abased meaning Jews and Christians and Muslims live together peacefully paying tax which allows the state to provide service to every citizen because Islam guarantees freedom of belief.

Quran Word Meaning

(7:13) l-ṣāghirīna the disgraced ones (referring to the expulsion of Satan Shaitan from Heaven).

(7:119:4) ṣāghirīna humiliated (referring to the Egyptian magicians who were humiliated by Prophet Mose Musa).

(9:29:29) ṣāghirūna while they (are) subdued (meaning Jews and Christians who live peacefully under the authority of the living messenger of God and his appointed governors in lands under Islamic rule will receive the protection and benefits of a citizen).

(12:32) l-ṣāghirīna those who are disgraced (referring to the threat by a married woman to disgrace Prophet Joseph Yusuf).

(27:37:13) ṣāghirūna (will be) abased (referring to the threat by Prophet Solomon Sulaiman to send an army to abase meaning humble the Queen of Sheba.

Quran 2:256 Verse 2:256 There is no compulsion in religion …”

Quran 5:8 Verse 5:8 “... do not let (your) hatred of a people make you act unjustly. Act justly, that is nearer to righteousness and fear God. God is aware of what you do.”

Comment 2. Explain Quran 9:29.

Quran 9:29 Verse 9:29 (Quran 2:190 And fight … those who fight you …”, Quran 2:194 “… whoever transgressed on you then you may transgress on them in the same manner …” and Quran 9:13 “… Shall you not fight a people who … began to fight you first …” meaning God does not allow fighting people who are not fighting you and who are not supporting people who are fighting you. It was revealed in 9 AH that the Army of the Roman Byzantine Empire will come to you if you do not go to Tabruk and secure the loyalty of the communities on the Arabian Syrian border so) Fight those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day (meaning fight stone idol worshippers if they fight you on the Arabian Syrian border. Those who “do not believe in God nor in the Last Day” in Quran 9:18 – 9:19 are the stone idol worshippers who are to be fought in Quran 9:36 if they fight you). And (fight those) who do not make unlawful what God and His Messenger has made unlawful (meaning fight the Muslim hypocrites if they fight you. Those who “do not make unlawful what is unlawful” in Quran 9:47 - 9:51 and Quran 9:67 are the hypocrites who swear they are Muslim in Quran 9:56 who are to be fought “by our hands” in Quran 9:52 if they fight you). And (fight those) who do not acknowledge the religion of the truth (delivered to them 1400 years ago by a living prophet of God in Quran 9:33 reminding the Christians that “God is one God” not “three in one” in Quran 9:31 meaning do not pray to Mary or Jesus or saints but pray only to God like Moses and Jesus and Mary prayed only to God in all the four Gospels as explained in the Gospel of Mark 12:29 and reminding the Christians that “son of God” only means servant of God in Quran 19:93, Torah Exodus 4:22-4:23 and in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and explained in Gospel of John 1:12 - 1:13. “The only begotten son” means the servant of God with the supreme authority to speak in the name of God to the people in his time as explained in Gospel of Luke 24:19 and confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18. God teaches that Jesus is not God or part of God in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 however 1400 year ago some Christians claimed Jesus is a real begotten son meaning a real biological son of God in a Christian belief called Arianism where Jesus was begotten after God who was not begotten and denied in Quran 19:88 – 19:93 and another belief called Trinity where God and Jesus always existed meaning Jesus is God which is denied in Quran 4:171 – 4:172. God reminded the Jews in Arabia that all power on the Day of Judgement belongs to God in Quran 9:32 and Quran 9:34 – 9:35 because among the Jews in Arabia were some who were the only Jews in history to claim they will be saved by Prophet Ezra Uzair in the hereafter. They imitated the words spoken by some Christians who claim Jesus will save Christians in the hereafter. Those among the Jews in Arabia said their words of imitation in Quran 9:30 – 9:32 as a way of saying they did not need Prophet Muhammad because Prophet Ezra Uzair will save them. However the truth about God is that those who believed the message delivered by Moses Musa and Ezra Usair and Jesus Isa and Muhammad all believed the same message that “God is one God” and that it is the belief in this message which is delivered by every messenger of God and the doing of good deeds on the earth that saves people in the hereafter if in the hereafter they “believed” as taught in Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69 and Quran 6:158 which is also in the Scripture of them who are) from among those who were given the Scripture (meaning the Christians and the Jews meaning fight the Christians if they fight you on the Arabian Syrian border and also the Jews if they fight you) until they willingly pay (the yearly tax for non-Muslims called Jizya, Jizyah, Cizye, Gaziyat instead of the religious tax paid by Muslims called Zakah, Zakat) while they are subdued (meaning while Jews and Christians are living peacefully under the authority of the living messenger of God and his appointed governors in lands under Islamic rule as authorized in Quran 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” to God. “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” as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA Quran 5:48 and Quran 9:29 revealed how Muslims and Christians and Jews would live together from 9 AH during the life time of Prophet Muhammad and his governors so that the truth brought in the Quran could be compiled and written and distributed to benefit all Muslims and Christians and Jews and humankind by confirming the truth of the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John for every generation of Muslim and Christian and Jew and others until the Day of Judgement as explained in Quran 9:32 – 9:33. Around 20 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad the Quran in the form we have today was compiled and written and distributed in the same way as all Scriptures are compiled and written and distributed in their completed form after the death of a prophet by his follows. The Quran established the principle of freedom of religion 1300 years before the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Quran 2:256, Quran 3:159, Quran 4:137, Quran 5:54, Quran 10:99 – 10:100, Quran 18:29, Quran 28:54, Quran 50:45, Quran 88:21 - 88:26 and Quran 109:2 –109:6. In Quran 3:64 God has called for Jews, Christians and Muslims and others to come together in each generation to testify their submission to God meaning God calls for Jews, Christians and Muslims and others to help each other as brothers and sisters in the “community of God” so that they might give a good example of the best behaviour between humans to those in the world who do not know God).

Comment 3. Quran 9:29 has been misunderstood because people forgot that God does not change His words.

When some Muslims change the words of God inside their mind such as Quran 9:29 “those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day” to mean Jews and Christians instead of the correct meaning of stone idol worshippers it is the same error as when some Christians change the words of God inside their mind in the Gospel of Mark 12:29 “…The Lord our God is one Lord” to mean the Lord our God is a three in one Lord.

When some Muslims and some Christians change the meaning of the words of God inside their mind it seems reasonable to them because they are following the errors that were made by humans in the past who forgot that the word of God does not change.

“Those who do not believe in God nor in the Last Day” are the stone idol worshippers in Arabia 1400 years ago and “those who believe in God and in the Last Day” are the Muslims and the Jews and the Christians and others 1400 years ago about whom God says in the hereafter those who “believed” in God and in the Last Day and did good deeds will be successful in the hereafter in Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 and confirmed for those in the hereafter who “believed” in Quran 6:158 which confirm the Jewish Hebrew Bible and the four Christian Gospel Injil as proof no one can change the word of God because the word of God which never changes without the permission of God is the proof God is real meaning it is the proof that the promise of Paradise Jannah is real meaning God does not change the meaning of His words in the Quran because they are confirming the words which came before the Quran in the Jewish Hebrew Bible and in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA

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 6:158 Verse 6:158 Do they (the stone idol worshippers of Mecca Arabia), wait for nothing less than that the angels should come to them (as proof that God is real) or that their Lord (God) should come (to them on the Earth as proof that God is real) or that there should come one of the signs from their Lord (God that shows to them that they have been resurrected from death to life in the hereafter)? On the day when one of the signs from your Lord (God) comes (that shows to them that they have been resurrected from death to life in the hereafter it shall be too late because) belief in it (God and the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) shall not help any soul that before seeing the sign (of the Day of Resurrection) it (the soul) had not believed (in God) or if in belief (he or she) did not earn good (by doing righteous deeds in their life. Many verses in the Quran use past and present tense when revealing the words that will be said in future in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement and in Paradise Jannah and in Hell Jahannam. The use of “believed” as past tense in the promise of Paradise Jannah in Quran 6:158 is the same in Quran 2:62 which also uses the word “believed” as past tense and Quran 5:69 which also uses the word believed as past tense showing that all these verses reveal what will be said on the Day of Resurrection meaning Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 are not talking only about the promise of Paradise Jannah to the Jews and the Christians who “believed” before the time of Prophet Muhammad but also the promise of Paradise to the Jews who “believed” in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and to the Christians who “believed” in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and in the future to all the Jews and Christians who “believed” and did good deeds before the Day of Resurrection. The promise of Paradise Jannah is also given using the present tense “those who believe” in Quran 41:8 showing that Quran 2:62, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 are the same revelation to all humans including Jews and Christians and Muslims and anyone else who “believed” and did good deeds before the Day of Resurrection in Quran 6:158. These verses are not contradicted by Quran 3:85 where “whoever seeks a religion other than Islam it will not be accepted in the hereafter” because the meaning is “whoever seeks a religion other than submission to God” by believing in stone idol worship instead of believing in God or by believing God is three people in one person instead of believing “God is one” as taught by Prophet Moses Musa in the Torah Taurat and by Prophet Jesus Isa in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and by Prophet Muhammad in the Quran, and such wrong beliefs “will not be accepted in the hereafter” and this is confirmed in Quran 3:64 explaining that Judaism and Christianity are among the religions submitting to God whenever Jews and Christians believe “God is one” like the Muslims believe “God is the one creator of every creation” and God calls for each generation of Jews and Christians and Muslims and others to come together and testify their submission to God meaning all of them are religions submitting to God in Quran 3:64 as decreed by God in Quran 5:48. God explains why God created more than “one community” of God and given each “community” of God its laws in Books “to test who is best in behaviour” within and between Judaism and Christianity and Islam in Quran 5:48. God revealed 3 months before the death of Prophet Muhammad that the religion meaning the Quran is perfected and completed and the name of the religion is Islam in the farewell speech of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:3 “… Today I God have perfected for you your religion and completed My God’s favour to you and have approved for you Islam as a religion …” which confirms that the meaning of Islam in the verses of the Quran before the religion was named Islam simply means the religion of “submission” to God. All the religions of God can be called Islam because the only purpose of Judaism and Christianity and Islam is to submit to God. Islam and submission is the same word. The fact that God has not cancelled the Jewish religion of submission to God and the Christian religion of submission to God is made clear in Quran 5:5 where God says “the food of the Jews is lawful to the Muslims and the food of the Muslims is lawful to the Jews” meaning God has not cancelled Judaism because the righteous among Jews believe Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me God” meaning they pray only to God and they do good deeds in the same way they “believed” and did good deeds in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 3:113 – 3:115.” Marriage between Muslim men and Jewish and Christian women is lawful meaning God did not cancel Judaism or Christianity because the righteous among the Christians believe the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve” meaning “God is one” not “three persons in one” and so they pray only to God and they do good deeds in the same way they “believed” in God and did good deeds in the time of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 5:82 – 5:85 and like the Jews in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 however today many Jews and Christians do not know the Quran because Satan whispers that “Muslims are dangerous people and it is best to stay far away from them” however Satan cannot succeed against those Jews and Christians who pray only to God because they are among those promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 2:62, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 because they have fulfilled Quran 3:64 by worshipping only God like the Muslims worship only God and even though those righteous among the Jews and the Christians do not know the message of Prophet Muhammad it is God who has guided them to correctly understand exactly the same message of Islam meaning submission which is protected until the Day of Judgement in Taurat Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me God” and in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve” which confirm Quran 47:19 “…there is no God except God …” God has decreed that more than one “community” of God will submit to God by serving God in their worship in Quran 5:48 meaning Judaism and Christianity and Islam will always exist because God has decreed it. God tells Prophet Muhammad to order the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims “to strive for all that is good” in Quran 5:48 using what “God has given” to each of them meaning God has protected the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran as proof God is real and as proof the Quran is the truth as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA so that God can show which people within and between each community is the best in behaviour. God says “you shall all return” meaning God will judge the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims justly and fairly on the basis of the order “to strive for all that is good” which God told Prophet Muhammad to deliver to the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims in Quran 5:48 meaning God did not cancel Judaism and Christianity instead Quran 5:48 and the other verses confirm the promise of Paradise Jannah to every human who “believed” and did good deeds on the earth. Quran 2:62, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:69, Quran 6:158 and Quran 41:8 confirm the promise of Paradise Jannah which is in the Hebrew Bible and in the Gospel Injil which is a promise from God to everyone who did good deeds and submits to God in Quran 47:19 “…there is no God except God …” and Torah Exodus 20:2 “.... You shall have no other gods before Me God” and the Gospel of Jesus Isa by Luke 4:8 “… You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve” because God inspired the same religion of Islam meaning submission to God in all the religions of God and God explained why God created more than one community of God to serve God in Quran 5:48. God has ordered the Jews and the Christians to follow their Books in Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 meaning Jews, Christians and Muslims will exist on the Earth together as God decreed and explained in Quran 5:48. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 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 is confirmed 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). Say (to the stone idol worshippers in Makkah), “Wait (for the Day of Resurrection and Judgement), indeed I (Prophet Muhammad) am also waiting.”

Comment 4. Fighting in the Quran.

Fight in the Quran never means fight people who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting civilians and fight in the Quran never means fighting innocent people and fight in the Quran never means fighting unarmed children or unarmed women or unarmed men who are not fighting you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people only because of their nationality or only because of their religion and fight in the Quran never means fighting people who do not wish to fight you or who surrender to you and fight in the Quran never means fighting people with whom you have a peace treaty unless the peace treaty has been violated and cancelled.

Comment 5. Stories about fighting in the Quran are history that occurred 1400 years ago.

Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for you and me to fight today.

No, those are not commands for you and for me to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

The Quran is the history of how God inspired one man to replace the worship of stone idols in Arabia today Saudi Arabia with the worship of God in the same way as Moses Musa and those who followed him were inspired to replace the worship of stone idols in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine with the worship of God.

We need to learn from all the verses in the Quran and know that the command from God for you and me today is the command to worship God and to be an example of goodness to the whole world.

Comment 6. Quran 9:29 is confirming the books before the Quran.

The Quran is similar to the verses in the Torah Taurat where God tells Prophet Moses Musa to give his authority to Prophet Joshua Yusha who will lead the children of Israel in a fight against idol worship in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine where they establish “the Holy Land” of the children of Israel in Quran 5:20 – 5:21.

In the Gospel of Matthew 10:34 "Do not suppose that I Prophet Jesus Isa have come to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword” and in Gospel of Matthew 10:35 For I Prophet Jesus Isa have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law” meaning humans must use the knowledge about goodness to fight against evil.

Comment 7. Muslims and Jews and Christians and others believe in God and the Last Day because it is decreed by God and no one can change this decree until the Day of Judgement.

God ordered the Jews in the Torah Taurat and the Christians in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the Muslims in the Quran to fight to remove the wrong doing which existed in the time of Prophet Moses Musa 3200 years ago as the way to establish Judaism through submission to the will of God and to fight to remove wrong doing which existed in the time of Prophet Jesus Isa 2000 years ago as the way to establish Christianity through submission to the will of God and to fight to remove wrong doing which existed in the time of Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago as the way to establish Islam through submission to the will of God.

Today Judaism and Christianity and Islam are established and the Books of God are the history of how and why they were established by a prophet of God.

Comment 8. God explained His plan on the earth for Muslims and Jews and Christians and others who believe.

God explained His plan 1400 years ago in Quran 5:48 … “For each” community of Jews, Christians and Muslims “We” God “have appointed a divine law and a way” to God. “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.”

Quran 5:48 is the promise of God that His Books with the Jews and Christians and Muslims is protected because God gave His words to the Jews and Christians and Muslims and no one has the power to change those words without the permission of God.

In Quran 33:40 no prophet is allowed on this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad meaning all guidance to success in the hereafter is contained in the Books of God which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA

Comment 9. How are some people misguided to kill innocent Muslims and innocent non Muslims?

How are people misguided to misunderstand the Quran and believe they are doing something good when they kill innocent Muslims and innocent non Muslims?

Beware of hadith stories in the Bukhari collection, the Muslim collection and in other collections of stories that teach the opposite to what God teaches in the Quran and remember that humans not God declared them to be Sahih meaning authentic, genuine and sound.

This means every hadith story that humans declared to be Sahih meaning authentic which teaches the opposite to what God teaches in the Quran is a false hadith story that was invented after the death of Prophet Muhammad by dishonest people who made a living telling stories or by people who were deceived to believe false stories.

If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it.

If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it.

On the Day of Judgement God judges by the words in the protected Quran.

On the Day of Judgement God does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.

The Quran is the protected word of God including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by God.

See 1. Invented hadith stories.

Comment 10. Jews today only ask help from God like Muslims only ask help from God.

Today all Jews believe the message of Moses Musa which is the same message delivered by every messenger to worship only God and do good deeds in the world.

Today there are no Jews who seek help from anyone but God meaning the idea of asking Prophet Ezra Uzair for help came from the words of some Jews in Arabia in the time of Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago and was a belief that was unknown to Jews living outside Arabia.

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.

Comment 11. There are some sects in Christianity today that only ask help from God like Muslims only ask help from God.

Today there are some Christian sects that believe Jesus is a messenger and that Jesus is not God or part of God meaning they do not believe in the Trinity which is a word not found in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John as proof that the idea of Trinity was invented after the natural death of Jesus.

In the time of Prophet Muhammad the Jews were promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113 – 3:115 and the Christians were promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82 – 5:65 and this promise to future generations of Jews and Christians is in Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 as explained in 3 above.

Quran 98:5 Verse 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 (represented in the story by another man who caused to die something that did not belong to him in the sin of ewe, the sin involving a female) 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).

Appalled Christian Caller! "You call my religion idolatry?" Rabbi Tovia Singer responds.

Comment 12. How can Muslims help Christians to understand why God is not a Trinity?

Today Muslims can help those among the Christians who believe God is a Trinity by asking them:

a. “Who best describles God; God or humans?”

b. “Does the invention of Trinity improve the word of God or change the word of God?”

c. Who knows the truth about God and can describe God better than God and His messenger Jesus?

d. Trinity is not in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John meaning Trinity is not the teaching of Jesus.

e. Do humans improve the words of God or change the words of God when humans claim “God is three persons inside one person” instead of teaching what Jesus taught which is “God is one God” not three in one.

f. Who knows the truth about God and can describe God better than God in the Gospel of Luke 24:19 ?

Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people;

Note 1. Jesus is a prophet and a messenger of God like Moses is a prophet and a messenger of God meaning both are described in Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18.

Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 A prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha and then came prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) will the LORD your God raise up to you (the children of Israel), from the midst of you (as happened 3000 years ago with Prophet David who delivered the Psalms in your midst presence when you were in the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah today in Israel and Palestine and 2000 years ago with Jesus who delivered the Gospel in your midst presence when you were in Judea and Galilee today in Israel and Palestine), of your brethren, like (you did) to me (Prophet Moses who delivered the Torah 3200 years ago in your midst presence when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt); to him (the prophet after prophet that is sent to you from God, the messenger after messenger that is sent to you from God) you shall (also) listen;

Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them (the children of Israel) a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha and then came prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses who delivered the Torah 3200 years ago when you were at Mount Sinai Horeb today in Egypt) from among their brothers brethren and I (God) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet (meaning prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger), who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command him” (to speak to you);

Note 1. When you read the words of Jesus in the Gospel these are the words God has put in the mouth of Jesus and what God has commanded the messenger Jesus to speak. Every messenger of God speaks “the words of God” and this is why some people confuse the messenger and think that his words mean he is God.

Note 2. To think Jesus is God or part of God would be the same mistake as thinking Moses is God or part of God.

Note 3. If you forget all the stories outside the four Gospel Injil that claim Jesus is God and look only at what God has said in the Torah Taurat and in the four Gospel Injil you would conclude that Jesus is the same as Moses and you would say Jesus is described perfectly in Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18.

The reason you would make this conclusion is because Jesus is a human in the Gospel like Moses is a human in the Torah and both pray to God and both teach people to pray only to God and both are prophets in the eyes of both God and all the people in Gospel of Luke 24:19 meaning Jesus is not God or a part of God as confirmed by all the other Gospels; Gospel of Mark 13:32, Gospel of Matthew 24:36, Gospel of John 5:30 and Gospel of John 20:17.

The only reason you would believe that Jesus is God is because you believe stories claiming Jesus is God which are not in the Gospel.

Quran 9:30 Koran 9:30 Verse 9:30 Ayah 9:30 Ayat 9:30 Aya 9:30 And the Jews (a Jew who was with a gathering of other Jews in Yathrib Arabia as a way of saying he had no need of Prophet Muhammad) said, “Ezra Uzair is the son of God” (meaning Prophet Ezra Uzair will recognize him and help him in the hereafter and none among the Jews corrected him), and the Christians say, “The Messiah (Jesus Isa) is the son of God (meaning a real biological son instead of the correct meaning of “servant of God” in Torah Exodus 4:22 - 4:23, 2 Samuel 7:14, 1 Chronicles 17:13, Hosea 11:1, Isaiah 63:16 and in the Gospel of John 1:12 where “son of God” and “children of God” means nothing but “servant of God” as explained in Quran 19:93). That is their saying with their mouths (meaning that is what the Jews and the Christians said 1400 years ago in Yathrib Arabia with their own words). They imitate the saying of the people in the past who disbelieved (in God by believing that they will be recognized and assisted by creations in the hereafter instead of recognized and assisted by God who is the creator of every creation. The belief that humans have the power of God to save them in the hereafter is called idol worship which is forbidden in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil). God will destroy them (in the never ending destroyer of Hell Jahannam in the hereafter because they made creations which God created to be their god or equal to god or part of god by giving their trust and prayers to creations instead of to the creator as explained in Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 – 5:10). How deluded they are (from the truth of God when humans ask for help from stone statues or help from humans such as Ezra Uzair and Jesus Isa instead of asking God who is the only one with the power to save them on the Day of Judgement because God is the one who created them. No Jew before that time or today has this belief about Prophet Ezra Uzair which means these words were said 1400 years ago to show that the speaker had no need of Prophet Muhammad however by using God in his words he was showing disbelief in God by calling for help in the hereafter from a human instead of God which is prohibited in Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 – 5:10). - (Continued Quran 9:31).

Note 1. Quran 9:30 is not about fighting except through the words in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran.

The message of Islam is that no created human is equal to God the creator.

Those among the Jews and the Christians and the Muslims who believe that no created human is equal to God the creator has understood the message delivered in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew. Luke and John and in the Quran.

Comment 1. What is the meaning of son of God in the Quran?

The correct meaning of Son of God is servant of God or slave of God in the Books of God.

Quran 19:93 verse 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.

Note 1. 1400 years ago the Quran advised Christians to stop saying Jesus Isa is the son of God because it was said as if Jesus Isa was a partner equal to God instead of a servant of God.

Comment 2. What is the meaning of son of God in the Gospel Injil?

Gospel of John 1:12 But to all who did receive him (Jesus Isa the messenger of God), to those believing on his name (the Prophet and messenger and Messiah Jesus Isa), he (God) gave the right to become children of God (meaning servants of God, believers of God, slaves of God, those who are obedient to God) -

Note 1. Children of God.

Everyone who believes in God and his messengers are called children of God meaning servants of God.

Everyone who believes in God and his messengers are called children of God meaning slaves of God.

Note 2. Son of God.

A son of God means a servant of God.

A son of God means a slave of God.

But to all who did receive him (Jesus the messenger of God), to those believing on his name, he gave the right to become children of God (son of God meaning servant/slave of God, daughter of God meaning servant/slave of God, mother of God meaning servant/slave of God, brother of God meaning servant/slave of God, sister of God meaning servant/slave of God, friend of God meaning servant/slave of God, believer of God meaning a willing servant/slave of God, disbeliever in God meaning an unwilling servant/slave of God).

Quran 19:93 verse 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.

Comment 3. What is the meaning of son of God in the Torah Taurat?

Torah Exodus 4:22 And you (Moses Musa) shall say to Pharaoh Firon, The Lord (God) says, “Israel is My son, My first born.” (Meaning, the people of Israel are My son because they are the people to whom God made a promise to their fathers to bless them for as long as they worship God).

Torah Exodus 4:23 And I (God) have said to you (Pharaoh Firon), “Let My son go so that he may serve Me (God) and you (Pharaoh Firon) have refused to let him go…”)

Quran 19:93 verse 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.

Comment 4. What is the son of God to some Christians?

Son of God means servant of God or slave of God in the Gospel Injil but some Christians thought.it was a real biological son.

In the time of Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago some Christians through son of God was a real biological son of God because in Roman idol worship every god had sons and daughters.

Comment 5. What is the son of God to some Jews in Yathrib Arabia?

Son of God means servant of God or slave of God in the Torah Taurat but some Jews in Yathrib used this expression like the Christians used it so as to reject their need for Prophet Muhammad.

A Jew in Yathrib (Medina) who was with a gathering of other Jews said, “Ezra (Uzair) is the son of God” and he was not corrected by other Jews with him.

“Ezra (Uzair) is the son of God” was said as a way of rejecting the Jewish need for Prophet Muhammad.

It might be said that the Jew was arguing that since the Christians have a son of God called Jesus Isa that saves the Christians from Hell fire, then in the same way the Jews have their own son of God called Ezra Uzair who saves the Jews from Hell Fire.

This is an argument invented by Jews in Yathrib (Medina, Arabia) in the time that Prophet Muhammad lived in Yathrib because Jews elsewhere before that time and after that time have never called Prophet Ezra Uzair a son of God.

This shows how some of the Jews of Yathrib (Medina, Arabia) talked in the name of God with disrespect. Such talk in the ears of the Muslims of Yathrib would have sounded the same as the talk of the stone idol worshippers in Mecca (Makkah, Arabia) whom the Muslims were fighting.

For Jews to have rejected Prophet Muhammad and speak in the name of God with disrespect would have sounded to the ears of Muslims like the talk of a people that did not believe in God or like the talk of a people who were hypocrites (those that say they believe in God but they do not really believe in God).

Note 1. Not all the Jews of Yathrib are the same, some are righteous. See Quran 3:113 – 3:115.

Quran 9:31 Koran 9:31 Verse 9:31 Ayah 9:31 Ayat 9:31 Aya 9:31 They (some among the Jews of Yathrib) have taken their rabbis (Prophet Ezra Uzair from whom they seek favours) and (some among the Christians have taken) their monks (as saints from whom they seek favours) and the Messiah (Jesus Isa) son of Mary Marium as lords (from whom they seek favours meaning they believe that the power of God to hear pray is possessed by others) that are equal with God but they were commanded to worship only One God (in both the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil by praying and asking favours from no one but God). There is no God but Him (God). All praise and glory belong to God (the creator) who is far greater than the partners (like Prophet Ezra Uzair or dead human Saints or the messenger Jesus Isa or the Virgin Mary to whom they pray and ask favours instead of praying to God for favours. They are misguided because prayer to anyone except God means belief that the power of God to hear pray is possessed by others) that they say are equal to Him (God, because they pray to others instead of only praying and seeking favours from God).

Comment 1. Quran 9:31 is not about fighting except through understanding the words in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Quran.

Comment 2. Humans are commanded to worship only the one God in the Torah Taurat.

Torah Deuteronomy 6:4 (Prophet Moses Musa said) Hear (listen) O (all the children of) Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one (God).

Torah Deuteronomy 6:5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might (strength).

See Video Muslim Asks Rabbi Tovia Singer: Why do Christians Ignore the Torah’s Prohibition of ‘Shirk’?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YYc3nBfDjA

Comment 3. Humans are commanded to worship only the one God in the Gospel Injil.

Gospel of Mark 12:29 Jesus Isa answered, "Primary (commandment of God) is this: “Hear, O (all the children of) Israel, The LORD is our God, The LORD is one (God).”

Gospel of Matthew 23:9 And call no one on earth your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one.

Note 1. God is not in one place but to show that Jesus Isa who is speaking on the Earth is not God the expression God in heaven is used.

Comment 4. Humans are commanded to worship only the one God in the Quran.

Quran 9:31 Verse 9:31 "... but they were commanded to worship only One God ..."

Note 1. Only God the creator can hear prayer so when prayer is offered to anyone except the creator it is idol worship.

Prayer to anything that was created by God is called idol worship.

Anything that is a creation cannot be God who is the creator of every creation.

Comment 5. The Books of God.

Stories claiming the Torah Taurat is corrupted contradict all the teachings in the Quran telling us that the Jewish people have the Torah and telling us that the Torah is from God and telling us that no one can change the word of God because that is the proof that God is real for every human until the Day of Judgement.

The Jewish people judge scripture as true if it confirms the Torah Taurat.

Many Muslims say the Quran does not agree with the Torah Taurat and therefore to a Jew it means the Quran cannot be from God.

If Muslims said the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat it would mean the Quran is from God but this is not what many Muslims are telling the Jewish people today.

1400 years ago Prophet Muhammad said the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning confirms the Torah Taurat is correct as proof the Quran is from God but this is not the message many Muslims say to Jewish people today.

Rabbi Tovia Singer has studied the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil and Quran and explains that the Jews have the scripture and therefore whenever anyone claims they also have the scripture the Jewish person compares their scripture to all other scriptures and if another scripture agrees with the Jewish scripture the Jew will applaud it in other words Jews are not asking if someone is or is not a prophet but a Jew asks do scriptures like the Gospel and the Quran which both say they confirm the Torah Taurat agree or disagree with the Jewish scripture.

When a Jew reads in the Quran that God is only one the Jew applauds it meaning it agrees with the Torah.

When a Jew reads some Christian opinions that God is a Trinity the Jew does not applaud it meaning it disagrees with the Torah Taurat.

See 1. Quran 28:52 comments in Quran chapter 28.

See 2. Quran 28:53 comments in Quran chapter 28.

See 3. Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.

See 4. Quran 4:162 comments in Quran chapter 4.

Comment 6. Evidence for the truth is the Quran confirming the Torah Taurat is correct.

Quran 3:93 Ayah 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true."

Note 1. The proof of truth according to the Quran is the Torah Taurat meaning no one changed the Torah Taurat.

Note 2. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat is with the Jewish people and the Quran confirms no one can change the word of God.

Note 3. God tells the Jews to recite the Torah Taurat meaning the Jews have the Torah Taurat and no one changed it.

Note 4. If anyone can prove the Torah Taurat was changed then they have found the proof that God does not exist.

Note 5. God says the proof of truth is the Quran confirming what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat meaning there are no contradictions between the Quran which is with the Muslim people and the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people.

Quran 2:41 Ayah 2:41 And believe in what I (God) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."

Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people forever.

Quran 4:136 Ayah 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … His (God’s) Books, … then he has strayed far away (from God).

The Torah, Gospel and Quran are inspired by the one God who creates every creation.

The Taurat, Injil and Quran are inspired by the one God who creates every creation.

God protects the Torah Taurat, Gospel Injil and Quran.

God protects His word.

No one has the power to change the word of God.

If humans could change the word of God in the Torah Taurat or the Gospel Injil or the Quran then no revelation could be trusted.

Comment 7. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.

A. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.

See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.

B. Every prophet of God is “the Word of God made flesh” meaning the word of God comes out of the mouth of every prophet of God in Deuteronomy 18:18.

See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.

C. How did God save Jesus.

See 1. Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.

See 2. Quran 29:57 comments in Quran chapter 29.

D. The second coming of Jesus and every other human is on the Day of Resurrection.

See Quran 79:7 comments in Quran chapter 79.

E. Examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of God in the Quran.

See Quran 25:30 comments in Quran chapter 25.

F. God protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof God is real.

https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthekoran/god-protects-the-torah-gospel-and-koran

G. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.

See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.

Comment 8. See Quran 9:30 comments.

Quran 9:32 Koran 9:32 Verse 9:32 Ayah 9:32 Ayat 9:32 Aya 9:32 They (the stone idol worshippers in Makkah and some of the Jews of Yathrib and some of the Christians) want to put out the light of God (of God’s guidance in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil and Quran) with their mouths (by claiming that God has real biological children or partners that have the same power to hear prayer as God), but God shall not allow anything except that His (God’s) light should be perfected (in the Quran confirming what was revealed before it in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil) even though the disbelievers dislike it (because they love worshipping creations more than they love worshipping the creator).

Comment 1. Quran 9:32 is not about fighting except through the words in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran.

Quran 9:33 Koran 9:33 Verse 9:33 Ayah 9:33 Ayat 9:33 Aya 9:33 It is He (God) who has sent His (God’s) messenger (Prophet Muhammad) with the guidance and the religion (belief) of the truth (which is the belief in one God meaning one creator so that people are guided to goodness and not guided to the evil of stone idol worship and) to manifest (make clear) it (the truth about God) over all religions (who believe in more than one God like belief in the 360 idol gods in Arabia 1400 years ago) however much the polytheists (those who pray to creations which they claim have the same power to hear prayer as God) may dislike it (and this mission given 1400 years ago by God to Prophet Muhammad was achieved in Makkah and Arabia today Saudi Arabia when the stone idol worshipping authority over the people which had persecuted Muslims was replaced by an authority over the people worshipping God without the persecution of Muslims or Non Muslims. This is similar to the commands in the Torah Taurat where God guided the children of Israel to replace the authority of stone idol worship in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine with an authority over the people worshipping God).

Quran 9:34 Koran 9:34 Verse 9:34 Ayah 9:34 Ayat 9:34 Aya 9:34 All you who believe. There are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who use the wealth of humans falsely (not for God but for themselves such as by accepting bribes paid for making favourable judgements) and hinder (humans) from the way of God (by not correctly following the religion that God gave them). Those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of God (such as by using it to help the poor), tell them of a painful punishment (in the Hereafter).

Comment 1. Invitation to an agreement between Muslims, Christians and Jews.

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 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.

Appalled Christian Caller! "You call my religion idolatry?" Rabbi Tovia Singer responds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr_v_93p3SE

Quran 9:35 Koran 9:35 Verse 9:35 Ayah 9:35 Ayat 9:35 Aya 9:35 On the day (of Judgement) when it (all the hoarded silver and gold) shall be heated in the fire of hell, it shall be branded on their foreheads and their flanks (sides) and their backs (and it shall be said to those that hoarded their wealth), “Here is what you hoarded for yourselves so taste (the punishment of the heat from) what you used to hoard.”

Quran 9:36 Koran 9:36 Verse 9:36 Ayah 9:36 Ayat 9:36 Aya 9:36 The number of the months (in one year) with God is twelve months as ordained by God on the day that He (God) created the heavens and the earth. Four of them (the 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months) are sacred. That is the right belief, so do not do wrong in those (months). And fight the (stone) idol worshippers together (in alliances) as they fight you together (in alliances). Know that God is with those who keep their duty (to God).

Comment 1. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:37 Koran 9:37 Verse 9:37 Ayah 9:37 Ayat 9:37 Aya 9:37 The postponing of a sacred month is part of disbelief where the disbelievers (the stone idol worshippers) are led astray by making it (a sacred month) lawful one year and forbidding it in another year (so they can fight on sacred month by moving the sacred pilgrimage to another month) but this is forbidden because they make what God has forbidden lawful. The evil of their deeds seems reasonable to them. God does not guide the people who disbelieve (in God who is the creator of every creation).

Quran 9:38 Koran 9:38 Verse 9:38 Ayah 9:38 Ayat 9:38 Aya 9:38 All you who believe. What is the matter with you when it is said to you, “Go forward in the way of God and then you hesitate as if you are tied to the Earth (and cannot move). Do you take pleasure in the life of the world rather than in the Hereafter? The comfort of the life of the world is small compared to the Hereafter.

Comment 1. The Muslims seek support from the people of Mecca Makkah.

The Muslims had taken Mecca Makkah without a fight and Quran 9:38 refers to the later Battle of Tabouk (Battle of Tabuk) in Tabouk northwestern Arabia today northwestern Saudi Arabia in 9 AH (630 CE 630 AD) on arrival the Muslim army found that the Byzantine army was not in Tabouk. However that warning prepared the Muslims to secure their presence in Arabia.

Quran 9:39 Koran 9:39 Verse 9:39 Ayah 9:39 Ayat 9:39 Aya 9:39 If you do not go forward (with Prophet Muhammad to Tabouk, Arabia) He (God) shall afflict you with a painful punishment (by giving victory to another people over you), and (God) shall choose another people (for God’s grace) instead of you. You cannot harm Him (God if you decide not to help Prophet Muhammad). God can do all things.

Comment 1. The Muslims in Mecca Makkah respond to a report about the approach of the Byzantine army.

The Muslims seek support from the people of Mecca Makkah.

Quran 9:40 Koran 9:40 Verse 9:40 Ayah 9:40 Ayat 9:40 Aya 9:40 If you do not help him (Prophet Muhammad, remember) God has already helped him when the disbelievers drove him out (of Mecca Makkah when the stone idol worshippers council had been meeting to decide if they should kill, imprison or banish the Prophet), he (Prophet Muhammad) was one of two (who were hiding), when they (Abu Bakr and Prophet Muhammad) were in the cave (Ghar al-Thawr, cave of the Bull at Jabal Thawr, Mount of the Bull), and he (Prophet Muhammad) said to his companion (Abu Bakr), "Do not grieve, God is with us." Then God sent down His (God’s) calmness on him, and strengthened him with hosts (of angels) which you could not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved (and were searching for him) to be humbled, while it was the Word of God that became supreme. God is all mighty and wise.

Comment 1. Angels who are under God’s command bring confidence to the hearts of those who believe in God.

Quran 9:41 Koran 9:41 Verse 9:41 Ayah 9:41 Ayat 9:41 Aya 9:41 Go forward, light (as go the weak and poor believers) and heavily (as go the strong and wealthy believers) and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of God. That is better for you (to support this war effort) if you only knew (the consequences of doing nothing to meet the challenge from the Byzantine army in Tabouk).

Comment 1. With Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia and the surrounding former enemies under the control of the Muslims of Yathrib Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) a report that the Byzantine army was in Tabouk, northwestern Arabia threatened to again make the Muslims venerable to attack, subjugation and oppression from others so in Quran 9:41 it is said “That is better for you (to support this war effort) if you only knew (the consequences of doing nothing to meet the challenge from the Byzantine army in Tabouk)."

Comment 2. In Quran 9:41 the weak or strong and the rich and poor are abrogated (replaced) by the guidance of Quran 9:91 where there is no blame on the poor and the weak who are unable to assist or participate because of their situation.

Comment 3. Although the Byzantine army was not in Tabouk this mission prepared the Muslims for what was to come. This warning prepared the Muslims to secure their presence in Arabia.

Quran 9:42 Koran 9:42 Verse 9:42 Ayah 9:42 Ayat 9:42 Aya 9:42 f it (the Byzantine army) had been near and an easy journey then they (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) would have followed you (Prophet Muhammad), but the distance (to Tabouk in northwestern Arabia) seemed too far for them. And they swear by God (saying), “If we had been able we would have gone with you (to fight the threat from the Byzantine army in Tabouk). But they (who did not go) destroyed their souls (by giving a false oath in the name of God), and God knows they are liars (when they said they would have gone if they could).

Quran 9:43 Koran 9:43 Verse 9:43 Ayah 9:43 Ayat 9:43 Aya 9:43 God forgave you (Prophet Muhammad) for what you allowed for them (when they stayed behind in Yathrib Medina), without (you) determining who spoke the truth and who were liars (in their excuses not to travel to Tabouk so that they could remain in their homes in Yathrib Medina).

Quran 9:44 Koran 9:44 Verse 9:44 Ayah 9:44 Ayat 9:44 Aya 9:44 Those who believe in God and the Last Day did not ask permission from you (not to go with you to fight the threat from the Byzantine army in Tabouk) so that they can strive hard (for God) with their wealth and their lives. God knows those who keep their duty (to God).

Quran 9:45 Koran 9:45 Verse 9:45 Ayah 9:45 Ayat 9:45 Aya 9:45 Those that ask permission not to go (to fight the threat from the Byzantine army in Tabouk) do not believe in God and the Last Day (of Judgement) because there is doubt (about God) in their heart that causes them to waver (in their confidence).

Quran 9:46 Koran 9:46 Verse 9:46 Ayah 9:46 Ayat 9:46 Aya 9:46 And if they had wished to go forward (to fight the threat from the Byzantine army in Tabouk) they certainly would have prepared some equipment (for the journey), but God was against them being sent forward and held them back and it was said (to them), “Stay with those that sit (at home).”

Quran 9:47 Koran 9:47 Verse 9:47 Ayah 9:47 Ayat 9:47 Aya 9:47 If they had gone forward with you they would had added nothing but disorder and they would have moved among you seeking to cause sedition (rebellion), and among you there are some who would have listened to them. God is aware of those who do wrong.

Quran 9:48 Koran 9:48 Verse 9:48 Ayah 9:48 Ayat 9:48 Aya 9:48 Previously they (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) tried to cause sedition and raise difficulties for you (Prophet Muhammad, when you first came to Yathrib Arabia) until the Truth came and the will of God was made clear, though they did not like it (so they entered the religion with little genuine desire for God).

Quran 9:49 Koran 9:49 Verse 9:49 Ayah 9:49 Ayat 9:49 Aya 9:49 Among them are those (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) who said, “Grant me leave (to stay at home) and do not put me to the trial (of following the orders of God). Surely they have already fallen (failed) in the trial (of following the orders of God by not accepting what the Prophet of God has requested of them). Hell shall surround the disbelievers (in the Hereafter).

Quran 9:50 Koran 9:50 Verse 9:50 Ayah 9:50 Ayat 9:50 Aya 9:50 If good comes to you (Prophet Muhammad) it grieves them (makes them unhappy), and if disaster comes to you (Prophet Muhammad), they say, “We were careful (because of our decision before that disaster not to go with the Prophet), and they turn away very happy.

Quran 9:51 Koran 9:51 Verse 9:51 Ayah 9:51 Ayat 9:51 Aya 9:51 Say, “Nothing happens to us except what God has decreed for us. He (God) is our protecting friend. In God let the believers put their trust.

Quran 9:52 Koran 9:52 Verse 9:52 Ayah 9:52 Ayat 9:52 Aya 9:52 Say: "Do you (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) wait for us (Muslims) except for one of two good things (our death in battle so that you can rejoice or our victory in battle so you can gain the spoils of war) while we wait for you to receive the punishment from God (direct) or (from God) by our hands, So wait, we are waiting with you (for God’s decree)."

Comment 1. Those who do not understand that the Quran has verses of history that include history about fighting translate the Quran as if those commands are for me and you to fight today.

No those are not commands for me and you to fight today.

They are commands given by God to Prophet Muhammad addressed to those people who lived in the time of the prophet 1400 years ago.

We need to know that the verses about fighting are connected to issues that occurred in history.

See Quran 9:5 comment.

Quran 9:53 Koran 9:53 Verse 9:53 Ayah 9:53 Ayat 9:53 Aya 9:53 Say (Prophet Muhammad to those people), "Spend willingly or unwillingly, it shall not be accepted from you (by God). You (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) have been a wicked people.

Quran 9:54 Koran 9:54 Verse 9:54 Ayah 9:54 Ayat 9:54 Aya 9:54 And nothing prevents that their contributions should be accepted (by God) except that they (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) have disbelieved in God and in His (God’s) messenger, and they do not come to prayers except sluggishly and they only pay (their contribution of Zakat tax to help the needy) reluctantly (because they see the giving of money as a financial penalty).

Quran 9:55 Koran 9:55 Verse 9:55 Ayah 9:55 Ayat 9:55 Aya 9:55 So do not let their wealth or their children please you (Prophet Muhammad). God intends to punish them in the life of the world and their souls shall pass away (at death) while they (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) are disbelievers (in God).

Quran 9:56 Koran 9:56 Verse 9:56 Ayah 9:56 Ayat 9:56 Aya 9:56 And they (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) swear by God that they are truly of you (meaning, believers) but they are not of you (believers), because they are people who are afraid (of you in case you deal with them like you dealt with the stone idol worshippers by defeating them).

Quran 9:57 Koran 9:57 Verse 9:57 Ayah 9:57 Ayat 9:57 Aya 9:57 If they could find a refuge or cave or a place of concealment they would immediately rush into it (to get away from you Prophet Muhammad).

Quran 9:58 Koran 9:58 Verse 9:58 Ayah 9:58 Ayat 9:58 Aya 9:58 There are some among them (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) who blame you (Prophet Muhammad, of bias) in the distribution of the charities made in the name of God. If they are given some they are happy and if they are not given anything then they are full of anger (towards you).

Quran 9:59 Koran 9:59 Verse 9:59 Ayah 9:59 Ayat 9:59 Aya 9:59 If only they had been content with what God and His (God’s) Messenger had given them and had said, “God is all we need. God shall give us from His (God’s) bounty and so shall His (God’s) Messenger (give to us from the charities made in the name of God). This we pray to God (then, it would have been better for them in the hereafter).”

Quran 9:60 Koran 9:60 Verse 9:60 Ayah 9:60 Ayat 9:60 Aya 9:60 Charity (Zakah, Zekat) is only for the poor and the needy and those who collect the charity, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled (with God) and to free the captives (or the slaves) and the debtors (those owing money) and for the cause of God and for the (stranded) traveler. It (the distribution of charity) is a duty imposed by God. God is all knowing and wise.

Quran 9:61 Koran 9:61 Verse 9:61 Ayah 9:61 Ayat 9:61 Aya 9:61 Among them (the hypocrites among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) are those who insult the Prophet and say, “He is only a hearer (who listens and believes everything that is said to him including when we swear to him that we have not said something against the religion).” Tell them, “He (Prophet Muhammad) listens for your good and trusts in God and trusts the believers (of God) and he (Prophet Muhammad) is a blessing for those who believe. Those who abuse the Messenger of God, they shall have a painful punishment (in the Hereafter).

Comment 1. The punishment for insulting what belongs to God comes from God not from humans.

Comment 2. The punishment for hypocrisy is from God in the hereafter and not by humans in this life because the sin of disbelief in God is against God and not against humans.

See 1. Apostasy in Islam.

In the Quran God ordered freedom of religious belief 1400 years before the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

However incorrect understanding of the Quran and the hadith can cause wrongful killing of people in the name of God and in the name of human hadith stories.

God not humans gives punishment for disbelief in God.

The matter of belief in God is for each human to decide.

Each human has freedom until their death to find their true belief.

Quran 9:63 Koran 9:63 Verse 9:63 Ayah 9:63 Ayat 9:63 Aya 9:63 Do they not know that those who oppose God and His (God’s) messenger, shall live in the fire of Hell (in the Hereafter)? That is the great disgrace.

Quran 9:64 Koran 9:64 Verse 9:64 Ayah 9:64 Ayat 9:64 Aya 9:64 The hypocrites (among the Arabs who claim they believe in God) fear that a Chapter (Surah, Sura of the Quran) might be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts (but still they continue to mock). Say, "Go on mocking.” God shall show that which you fear (meaning, God shall show what the hypocrites conceal in their hearts)."
