Do Muslims have to kill Jews and Christians just because they are not Muslims? Or is it only allowed in self-defense?

Do Muslims have to kill Jews and Christians just because they are not Muslims? Or is it only allowed in self-defense?

5:45 And We ordained for them therein that - a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for the wounds is a retribution. But whoever gives it (up as) charity, then it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then those are the wrongdoers.

(“A life for a life ...” is self-defense)(Allah knows best)

5:32 From that time, We ordained on the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul other than for a soul or for spreading corruption in the earth, then it is as if he has killed the whole mankind, and whoever saves it then it is as if he has saved the whole mankind. And surely Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet after that, indeed, many of them surely commit excesses in the earth.

(Some non-Muslims say that Muslims kill people just because they are not Muslims, while there is freedom of religion in Islam; and in Islam, fighting is in self-defense and against oppression; in fact, only non-Muslims are the ones who fight for evil reasons (e.g., racism, money, oil, hate, colonization, genocide, settling in other people’s land, converting people to their false religion, etc). In Islam, “one single life” is important (5:32). Besides fighting for evil reasons, in war, many non-Muslims do little or nothing for people’s lives, even against their own people’s lives. A few examples: the pollution in cities kills millions people per year, or the nuclear power stations could kill workers or people living around, but they would not dismantle it for one or few persons, or, in USA, it is allowed selling guns, despite the gun violence results in tens of thousands of deaths annually, or smoking kills slowly to smokers and the people around smokers, etc. Historically, USA killed civilians (women and children) in all wars, for example, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Middle East, etc.; communist regimes are atheists and killed more than 140 million people; and also Christian regimes in Russia committed genocide, for example, in Ukraine and Syria; European Christians and European Jewish occupied other people’s land (e.g. the Americas, Palestine, Australia, South Africa, Siberia, etc.))(Allah knows best)

6:151 Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. That do not associate anything with Him, and be good to parents, and do not kill your children (out) of poverty, We provide for you and for them. And do not go near immoralities what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul, which Allah has forbidden except by right. That (He) has enjoined on you with it, so that you may use reason."

2:190 And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like the transgressors.

(Self-defense)(Allah knows best)

2:193 And fight against them until there is no oppression, and the religion becomes for Allah Then if they cease, then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors.

(Verse 2:193 is not about compulsion in religion. Compulsion in religion is forbidden in Islam (2:256, 50:45, 81:28, 33:28, 18:29, 10:99-100), but the Verse is in the context of Muslims being oppressed, so Muslims fight against oppression, and the religion becomes for Allah, so that Muslims can practice their religion)(The purpose of fighting is that they may cease (2:193), so the context is self-defense)(Allah knows best)

2:191 And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from wherever they drove you out, and oppression is worse than killing. And do not fight them near Al-Masjid Al-Haraam until they fight you there. Then if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the reward of the disbelievers.

(Self-defense)(Allah knows best)

9:12 And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, indeed, their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may cease. 9:13 Will you not fight a people who broke their oaths and determined to drive out the Messenger and they began (to attack) you the first time? Do you fear them? But Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.

(According to Verse 9:12, the purpose of fighting is that “they may cease”, so the context is self-defense)(According to Verse 9:13, the enemies attacked first, so Muslims defended themselves)(Verse 9:8 says, “How while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not regard (the ties of) kinship with you or covenant of protection?”; in that regard, some non-Muslims attack out of cowardice, when they consider that the enemy is weak; e.g. USA would never attack Russia, but they would have done it if they could (e.g. during the cold war), as they did in Vietnam; so non-Muslims are the ones who attack others when opportunity arise, and for evil and vain reasons)(Allah knows best)

68:35 Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals? 68:36 What is with you? How do you judge?

(“Muslim” is an Arabic word meaning “one who submits (to God)”. By definition, if a person calls himself Muslim, but he does not submit to the will of God, he is not a Muslim (e.g. If someone were to kill without right, he would be disobeying God (6:151)). According to Verses 68:35-36, Muslims are never criminals, because they obey God, and what God orders is good. On the other hand, if an atheist, Jew, or Christian is a murder, rapist or terrorist, etc., he still would be an atheist, Jew or Christian, because an atheist still does not believe in God, a Jew still have a Jewish mother (which makes him a Jew, according to themselves), and a Christian still believes in Jesus as his savior (regardless of his works, according to themselves); so non-Muslims are the ones who belong to a group in which there are wrongdoers)(Allah knows best)

42:39 And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves.

16:126 And if you retaliate, then retaliate with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you are patient, it is surely better for those who are patient.

(Self-defense)(Allah knows best)

42:40 The recompense for an evil is an evil like it. But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, then his reward is on Allah. Indeed, He does not like the wrongdoers. 42:41 And surely whosoever defends himself after he has been wronged, then those do not (have) against them any way. 42:42 The way is only against those who oppress people and rebel in the earth without right. Those, for them (is) a painful punishment.

(Some Jews and Christians’ extreme behavior might be supported by their own scripture. See the article below, “Which religion is moderate and which is extreme? Who are the radicals? Judaism vs. Christianity vs. Islam vs. atheism”. But, see also the article, “Is the Bible corrupted?”, which proves that their scripture is not reliable)(Allah knows best)

2:178 O you who believe, legal retribution is prescribed for you in (the matter of) murder, the freeman for the freeman, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever is pardoned in anything by his brother, then a suitable payment should be made to him with kindness. That is a concession and mercy from your Lord. Then whoever transgresses after that, then will have a painful punishment.

(Self-defense. Retaliating with the like of the evil which they committed)(Allah knows best)

4:90 Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty or those who come to you with hearts restraining them from fighting you or fighting their people. And if Allah had willed, surely He would have given them power over you, and they would surely have fought you. So if they withdraw from you and do not fight against you and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a way against them.

4:91 You will find others wishing to be secure from you and to be secure from their people. Every time they are returned to the temptation, they are plunged into it. So if they do not withdraw from you and offer you peace and they restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them. And those - We made for you against them a clear authority.

(Self-defense)(Allah knows best)

26:227 Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they were wronged. And those who have wronged will come to know to what return they will return.

4:75 And what is with you that you do not fight in the way of Allah, and (for) those who are weak among men and women and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this town whose people are oppressors and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper.

41:34 And the good and the evil are not equal. Repel by that which is better; then behold, one between you and between him there was enmity, as if he was an intimate friend.

60:8 Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you in the religion and do not drive you out of your homes, that you deal kindly and justly with them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.

(If the Jews, Christians or any other group do not fight Muslims or drive them out of their homes, then it is not forbidden to deal kindly and justly with them. But If they were to fight you or drive you out of your homes, then it is lawful for Muslims to defend themselves and to drive them out from wherever they drove you out)(Allah knows best)

2:84 And when We took your covenant, "Do not shed your blood and nor evict yourselves from your homes," then you ratified while you were witnessing.

(In Islam (Submission (to God)) you cannot evict anyone from their home, so the Jews are the ones who make trouble in Palestine and make God an excuse to evict Palestinians from their homes. The Prophets were not Jews, but they were Muslims (aka Submitted (to God))(Note: “Jew” in the Qur’an refers to their religion, while “Children of Israel” establish their lineage))(See the article below: “Does the Qur'an say that Palestine/Israel belongs to the Muslims or to the Jews?” and “Were the Prophets Jews or Christians?“)(Allah knows best)

2:120 And the Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the Guidance of Allah is the Guidance." And if you follow their desires after what has come to you of the knowledge, you will have neither any protector from Allah nor any helper.

(Verse 2:120 says, “The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion” (2:120). There is no freedom of religion in non-Muslim countries, because they use many ways to prevent people from Islam (telling lies, defamation, violence, mocking, deceit, misquoting Verses, etc.). In Islam, there is no compulsion in religion (2:256, 50:45, 81:28, 33:28, 18:29, 10:99-100))(See the links below “Exposing those who misquote and mistranslate verses of the Qur’an” and “Strategies against Islam. Is it something new?”)(Allah knows best)

5:13 So for their breaking of their covenant We cursed them and We made their hearts hard. They distort words from their places, and forgot a part of what they were reminded of. And you will not cease to discover treachery from them except a few of them. But forgive them and overlook. Indeed, Allah loves the good-doers.

(In a context of peace, the Verse does not say that Muslims have to fight them)(Allah knows best)

24:22 And let not those of virtue among you and the wealthy swear not to give to the near of kin, and the needy and the emigrants in the way of Allah. And let them pardon and let them overlook. Do you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

42:15 So to that then invite, and stand firm as you are commanded and do not follow their desires, but say, "I believe in what Allah has sent down of the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds and for you your deeds. There is no argument between us and between you. Allah will assemble us, and to Him is the final return."

28:55 And when they hear vain talk, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds and for you are your deeds. Peace be on you; we do not seek the ignorant."

6:108 And do not insult those whom they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made fair-seeming to every community their deed. Then to their Lord is their return, then He will inform them about what they used to do.

(For example, insulting and defaming go against freedom of religion. So, non-Muslims are hypocrites, because they speak about “freedom of religion”, “freedom of speech”, etc, while that which they do and say should be called slander or defamation, or oppressing other religious groups, which, in fact, go against freedom)(Allah knows best)

6:112 And thus We made for every Prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring one another with decorative speech in deception. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and what they invent.

9:95 They will swear by Allah to you when you returned to them, that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them, indeed, they are impure and their abode is Hell, a recompense for what they used to earn.

51:53 Have they transmitted it to them? Nay, they are a transgressing people. 51:54 So turn away from them, for you are not to be blamed.

16:90 Indeed, Allah commands justice and good, and giving to relatives, and forbids immorality and bad and oppression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed.

9:6 And if anyone of the polytheists seek your protection then grant him protection until he hears the Words of Allah. Then escort him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.

(Verse 9:6 says that if anyone of the polytheists seek protection, then grant him protection. And they are to be escorted to his place of safety. So, if the “ enemies’ “ intention is other than fighting (e.g. seeking your protection), then they are not killed, nor they are killed “when opportunity arises”)(Allah knows best)

3:134 Those who spend in ease and hardship and those who restrain the anger and those who pardon people - and Allah loves the good-doers.

30:22 And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed, in that are surely Signs for those of knowledge.

49:13 O mankind, indeed, We created you from a male and a female and We made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you near Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.

2:194 The sacred month is for the sacred month, and for violations there is legal retribution. Then whoever transgressed against you, then you transgress against him in the same manner as he transgressed against you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear.

(Self-defense)(Allah knows best)

4:101 And when you travel in the earth, then there is no blame upon you that you shorten the prayer, if you fear that those who disbelieved (may) harm you. Indeed, the disbelievers are for you an open enemy.

(Muslims are not people’s enemies in itself, but they defend themselves, while some disbelievers are people’s enemies)(Allah knows best)

2:98 Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His Angels and His Messengers and Gabriel and Michael - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.

(If the disbelievers are enemies, “then”, God is an enemy to the disbelievers)(Allah knows best)

8:61 And if they incline to peace, then you incline to it, and put trust in Allah. Indeed, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.

45:14 Say to those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the days of Allah; that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.

(In a context of peace, they are not to be fought)(Allah knows best)

33:48 And do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and disregard their harm, and put your trust in Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a Trustee.

(Verse 33:48 is interpreted that when there is peace, and their harm is other than fighting)(The Verses of the Qur’an are about self-defense and against oppression. Self-defense is not the origin/root/source of violence; on the other hand, the world should be concerned that the Bible tells in 1 Samuel 15:3 about putting to death women, children, babies, cattle, etc; and in Ezekiel 9:5-6, there is killing of old men, women, mothers and children)(Christians and Jews are the ones causing problems because of their man-made religion. The paradox is that Hitler (in a Christian country) did what the Jewish Bible says, as if he were a practicing Jew, in that matter. Killing innocents is the consequence of what they invented in their own scripture. As a result of their scripture, Jews use it as an excuse to kill and expel Palestinians from their homes (as Hitler did to Jews and other groups). And the history tells that if Jews were to gain dominance against Christians, they would do that which they do to Palestinians, they would kill Christians as well. Jews massacred Christians in the past (e.g. in AD 524 the Yemeni Jewish Himyar tribe, led by King Yusuf Dhu Nuwas, massacred more than 22,000 Christians). It was also alleged that the Talmud contained slanderous references to Jesus and Mary, etc.)(Besides the killing of innocent people, mentioned in 1 Samuel 15:3 and Ezekiel 9:5-6, the Nazi persecution of the disabled also seems based on the Jewish Bible: Leviticus 21:18-21 says, “No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; no man with a crippled foot or hand, or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the Lord by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God”)(Allah knows best)

4:114 (There is) no good in much of their secret talk except (he) who orders charity or kindness or conciliation between (the) people. And who(ever) does that seeking pleasure (of) Allah then soon We will give him a great reward.

3:167 And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. And it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or defend." They said, "If we knew fighting, certainly we would have followed you." That day they were nearer to disbelief than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is Most Knowing of what they conceal.

(Verse 3:167 says “fight in the way of Allah or defend”; so, there is a reason for fighting, other than self-defense, which, according to other Verses, that other reason is “fighting against oppression”. The Verses of the Qur’an are not mutually exclusive but complement each other)(Allah knows best)

22:60 That (is so). And whoever has retaliated with the like (of) that which he was made to suffer, then he was oppressed, Allah will surely help him. Indeed, Allah (is) surely Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving.

2:278 O you who believe, fear Allah and give up what remained of usury, if you are believers. 2:279 And if you do not, then be informed of a war from Allah and His Messenger. And if you repent, then for you is your capital - do not wrong and you will not be wronged.

(This Verse is only addressed to the believers, not to people in general. So, self-defense and against oppression is in regard to disbelievers)(Allah knows best)

7:33 Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of it and what is concealed, and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down any authority, and that you say about Allah what you do not know."

33:60 If the hypocrites and those in whose heart is a disease and those who spread rumors in the city do not cease, We will let you overpower them, then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little, 33:61 Accursed, wherever they are found, they are seized and massacred completely. 33:62 The way of Allah with those who passed away before and you will never find any change in the Way of Allah.

(The context of these Verses is disbelievers harming believers. So it is in self-defense and against oppression. Verse 33:58 says, “those who harm believing men and believing women…”. And Verse 33:59 says, “...that they should be known and not harmed…”)(Similarly, Verse 9:12 mentions fighting a people who defamed the religion, but the reason for fighting is that they broke their oaths, and they began to attack (9:13). Verse 9:12 says, “And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, indeed, their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may cease.”)(Allah knows best)

86:15 Indeed, they are plotting a plot, 86:16 But I am planning a plan. 86:17 So give respite (to) the disbelievers. Give respite to them (for a) little.

(“They are plotting a plot” (86:15), so the context of Verse 86:17 is self-defense)(The Verses about fighting do not abrogate the “peaceful” Verses, but the purpose is that they may cease that which they started (self-defense), and going against oppression. See the link below, “Is there a verse in the Qur’an called “verse of the sword”? Does it abrogate other verses?”)(Allah knows best)

9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah and in the Last Day, and they do not make unlawful what Allah has made unlawful and His Messenger, and they do not acknowledge the religion of the truth, from those who were given the Scripture, until they pay the jizyah willingly, while they are subdued.

(Verse 9:29 indicates who are the ones to be fought – those who do not obey / submit, and are disbelievers, because they are the ones who oppress (9:8), and attacked first (9:13). A Muslim can never oppress and would never fight other Muslims. By definition, a Muslim is never a criminal (68:35-36), because the Arabic word “Muslim” means “one who submits (to God)”. If you do not obey / submit to God, then you are not a Muslim (aka “you are not submitting”))(There is no compulsion in Verse 9:29, the Verse says that the payment is done willingly. The context is that the payment is in exchange of security; on the other hand, Non-Muslims force people to pay taxes; if the disbelievers are subdued, they stop attacking)(The context of Chapter 9 is self-defense (9:8-10, 9:12-13, 9:40, 9:61, 9:64-66, 9:107))(Allah knows best)
