Does Qur'an prohibit killing

Does the Qur'an Prohibit Killing

To demonstrate that Islam does not promote violence Muslims often quote a part of the quranic verse 5:32. “Whosoever killed a person it shall be as if he killed all mankind; and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he has saved the life of all mankind.”

That sound pretty good.  The problem is that it is not a teaching of Muhammad. It is a quote from Judaic scriptures.

“Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.” Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin 4:1 (22a)

Killing one person is not the same as the genocide of all mankind.  It only makes sense in its context.  It is related to the mythology of Abel and Cain.  Since these two brothers were the only men at that time, killing one of them would have prevented his offspring to be born and humanity would not come to exist.

Actually despite Muslims’ claim Muhammad did not say this is his own teaching.  The complete verse is as follow:

“On account of this, WE prescribed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killed a person it shall be as if he killed all mankind; -unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land- and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. And our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, Yet even after that, many of them commit excesses in the land.”

Muhammad is quoting a biblical fable.  How can Muslims claim credit for it?

The problem does not end there.  Talmud is not considered to be the word of God. It is the recorded teachings of Sanhedrin, the high council of rabbis.

So why Allah says “WE prescribed for the Children of Israel…”?

The god of the Quran is claiming ownership of something he never said. This leaves us with few options.

1-      Allah has plagiarized the teachings of the rabbis.

2-      He was confused and had forgotten that those words were not his.

3-      This verse is not from God. Muhammad admitted that sometimes Satan came and whispered some verses to him that he thought were from God. Could this verse be one of those satanic verses?

4-      Muhammad lied. The Quran is not the word of God.

I cannot think of another option to explain why Allah claims ownership of a verse that he never said.  The quote is not in the Bible; it is from Talmud and Talmud is not considered to be the word of God.

Now, this verse emphasizes that killing is bad. But Muhammad told his followers that waging war, fighting and killing are the best commerce, which will have the highest reward.

“O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment?  That you believe in Allah and His Messenger and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives… (Q .61:10-11)

So he had to make a disclaimer. While quoting the Talmud he inserted “unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land” in the verse. This disclaimer does not exist in the original text of the Talmud.

With this disclaimer his followers were left free to raid and to kill non-Muslims.  Those who resisted Islam and opposed it were considered to be spreading mischief.

The word mischief is the translation of the word “fitnah”, which means dissention, opposition, sedition.  If you dissent Islam or oppose it you are causing sedition and spreading mischief.  You are considered to be waging war against it.  This war does not have to be violent.  Your mere disagreement with Islam is the same as waging war against it. If you criticize Islam or preach a faith other than Islam to Muslims you are causing sedition. All these are mischief.

What is the punishment of those who spread mischief?

“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”

So the only verse that Muslims oft quote to claim Muhammad prohibited killing is from Judaism, is wrongly attributed to Allah and it contains a disclaimer, which allows Muslims to kill all those who don’t agree with Islam.

Fighting all until religion is only for ALLAH

The Qur'an in several places in great details gives description to fight unbelievers until they submit themselves to Islam or give Jizya .

We find it a common practice by Islamist Terrorist that kill kafirs in the name of religion and wants to spread their so called religion of peace through violence or by killing unbelievers . This was a common practice followed by their prophet Muhammad at his time which Qur'an and hadith gives details..



The Quran commands Muslims to fight all unbelievers:

F ight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden
which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the
religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the
Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. S. 9:29


And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than
mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and
injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and
in that which came down to you; Our God and your God is one; and it is to
Him we bow (in Islam)." S. 29:46


Narrated Jubair bin Haiya:
'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-
Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar said to him, "I would like to consult you
regarding these countries which I intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes,
the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies of the
Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings
got broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and
if the other wing got broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its
head got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become
useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for Caesar and the
other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So,
'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Nu’man bin Muqrin as our
commander. When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of
Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up
saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you
wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some
people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to
suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made
up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we
were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His
Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a
Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger
of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give
Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:--
"Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such
a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain
alive, shall become your master." (Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Nu’man for
delaying the attack and) An-Nu'man said to Al-Mughira, "If you had
participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Apostle he would not
have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I

accompanied Allah’s Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he

did not fight early by daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing
and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday)." (Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386)


Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people
until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that
Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the

obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an

property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts)
will be done by Allah." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24)


Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say:
‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like
our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and
property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally
and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he
asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a
person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, ‘None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah’, faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and
eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights
and obligations as other Muslims have." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book
8, Number 387)


It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that when the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) breathed his last and Abu Bakr was appointed as his
successor (Caliph), those amongst the Arabs who wanted to become apostates
became apostates. 'Umar b. Khattab said to Abu Bakr: Why would you fight
against the people, when the Messenger of Allah declared: I have been directed
to fight against people so long as they do not say: There is no god but Allah,
and he who professed it was granted full protection of his property and life on
my behalf except for a right? His (other) affairs rest with Allah. Upon this Abu
Bakr said: By Allah, I would definitely fight against him who severed prayer
from Zakat, for it is the obligation upon the rich. By Allah, I would fight
against them even to secure the cord (used for hobbling the feet of a camel)
which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (as zakat) but now they have
withheld it. Umar b. Khattab remarked: By Allah, I found nothing but the fact
that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr for (perceiving the justification of)
fighting (against those who refused to pay Zakat) and I fully recognized that the
(stand of Abu Bakr) was right. (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0029)


It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said: I have
been commanded that I should fight against people till they declare that there is
no god but Allah, and when they profess it that there is no god but Allah, their
blood and riches are guaranteed protection on my behalf except where it is
justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah, and then he (the Holy
Prophet) recited (this verse of the Holy Qur'an): "Thou art not over them a
warden" (lxxxviii, 22). (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0032)


Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Apostle
had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became
the property of Allah, His Apostle, and the Muslims. Allah's Apostle intended
to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition
that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah’s Apostle told
them, "We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish." So, they
(i.e. Jews) kept on living there until 'Umar forced them to go towards Taima'
and Ariha'. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 39, Number 531)

Despite of all clear context of fighting in Qur'an and Hadith we find Muslim Scholars debating to prove context in these Quoted verses so that they can prove their religion the most peaceful..

Islam and Terrorism

In today's world we find number of Islamic extremist making Jihad in cause of Allah and killing millions of people throughout world every year . 

In this blog we will give attention to the source of INSPIRATION for them ..

References from Qur'an proving violence 

The Quran:
Quran (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places
whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of nonbelievers]...
and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." There is a
good case to be made that the textual context of this particular passage is defensive war, even
if the historical context was not. However, there are also two worrisome pieces to this verse.
The first is that the killing of others is authorized in the event of "persecution" (a qualification
that is ambiguous at best). The second is that fighting may persist until "religion is for
Allah." The example set by Muhammad is not reassuring.
 

Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth
all things."

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this
world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they
joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of
polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what
Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').

Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other.
Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a
vast reward." The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, led meekly to the
slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle, as they attempt to inflict death and destruction
for the cause of Allah. Here is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.

Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"

Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same
footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah
(From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye
find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."

Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and
those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath
granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to
those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive
and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-" This
passage criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that
they are less worthy in Allah's eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't
mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is the Arabic word used
in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically
disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in
response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad and this is reflected in
other translations of the verse).

Now you find many scholars debating that theses verses are not taken in correct context . For their clarification very soon we'll come up with the context to prove the fact and discard the myth of world's most peaceful religion ...
