Set 1 Count 1+2 K 002:178-179
[002:178] O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of
the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the
female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then
prosecution (for the blood-wit) should be made according to usage, and payment
should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your Lord
and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful
chastisement.
[002:179] And there is life for you in (the law of) retaliation, O
men of understanding, that you may guard yourselves.
Set 2 Count 3+4 K 002:190-191
[002:190] And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do
not exceed the limits surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.
[002:191] And kill them wherever you find them and drive them out from
whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do
not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if
they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
Set 3 Count 5+6 K 002:193-194
[002:193] And fight with them until there is no persecution and religion should
be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except
against the oppressors.
[002:194] The Sacred month for the sacred month and all
sacred things are (under the law of) [or demand] retaliation; whoever then acts
aggressively against you, inflict injury on him according to the injury he has
inflicted on you and be careful (of your duty) to Allah and know that Allah is
with those who guard (against evil).
Set 4 Count 7-9 K 002:216-218
[002:216] Fighting is enjoined on you, and it is an object of dislike to you; and
it may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you
love a thing while it is evil for you, and Allah knows while you do not know.
[002:217] They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say:
Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah’s way and
denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people
out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter;
and they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you back from your
religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns back from his religion, then he
dies while an unbeliever—these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this
world and the hereafter, and they are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall
abide. [002:218] Surely those who believed and those who fled (their home) and
strove hard in the way of Allah [Arabic: wajahadoo] these hope for the mercy
of Allah and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Set 5 Count 10 K 002:244
And fight in the way of Allah and know that Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Set 6 Count 11-16 K 003:121-126
[003:121] And when you did go forth early in the morning from your family to
lodge the believers in encampments for war and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
[003:122] When two parties from among you had determined that they
should show cowardice [about war], and Allah was the guardian of them both,
and in Allah should the believers trust.
[003:123] And Allah did certainly assist
you at [the Battle of] Badr when you were weak; be careful of (your duty to)
Allah then, that you may give thanks.
[003:124] When you said to the believers:
Does it not suffice you that your Lord should assist you with three thousand of the
angels sent down?
[003:125] Yea! if you remain patient and are on your guard
and they come upon you in a headlong manner, your Lord will assist you
with five thousand of the havoc-making angels.
[003:126] And Allah did not
make it but as good news for you, and that your hearts might be at ease thereby,
and victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.
Set 7 Count 17-20 K 003:140-143
[003:140] If a wound has afflicted you (at [the Battle of] Uhud), a wound like
it has also afflicted the (unbelieving) people; and We bring these days to men
by turns, and that Allah may know those who believe and take witnesses
from among you; and Allah does not love the unjust.
[003:141] And that He
[Allah] may purge those who believe and deprive the unbelievers of blessings.
[003:142] Yusuf Ali: Did ye think that ye would enter heaven without God
testing those of you who fought hard (in His Cause) [Arabic: jahadoo] and
remained steadfast?
[003:143] Pickthall: And verily ye used to wish for death
before ye met it (in the field). Now ye have seen it [death] with your eyes!
Set 8 Count 21 K 003:146
Yusuf Ali: How many of the prophets fought (in Allah’s way) [war] and with
them (fought) large bands of godly men? But they never lost heart if they
met with disaster in Allah’s way [in battle], nor did they weaken (in will) or
give in. And Allah loves those who are firm and steadfast [in battle].
Set 9 Count 22-28 K 003:152-158
[003:152] And certainly Allah made good to you His promise when you slew
them by His [Allah’s] permission [during a battle], until when you became
weak-hearted and disputed about the affair and disobeyed after He [Allah] had
shown you that which you loved; of you were some who desired this world and of
you were some who desired the hereafter; then He [Allah] turned you away from
them that He might try you; and He has certainly pardoned you, and Allah is
Gracious to the believers.
[003:153] Pickthall: When ye climbed (the hill) and
paid no heed to anyone, while the Messenger, in your rear, was calling you (to
fight). Therefore He rewarded you grief for (his) grief, that (He might teach) you
not to sorrow either for that which ye missed [war spoils] or for that which befell
you. Allah is informed of what ye do. [003:154] Then after sorrow He sent down
security upon you, a calm coming upon a party of you, and (there was) another
party whom their own souls had rendered anxious; they entertained about Allah
thoughts of ignorance quite unjustly, saying: We have no hand in the affair. Say:
Surely the affair is wholly (in the hands) of Allah. They conceal within their souls
what they would not reveal to you. They say: Had we any hand in the affair,
we would not have been slain here [in battle]. Say: Had you remained in your
houses, those for whom slaughter was ordained [in battle] would certainly
have gone forth to the places where they would be slain, and that Allah might
test what was in your breasts and that He might purge what was in your hearts;
and Allah knows what is in the breasts.
[003:155] (As for) those of you who
turned back on the day when the two armies met, only the Satan sought to
cause them to make a slip on account of some deeds they had done, and certainly
Allah has pardoned them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing. [003:156] O you
who believe! be not like those who disbelieve and say of their brethren when
they travel in the earth or engage in fighting: Had they been with us, they
would not have died and they would not have been slain; so Allah makes this
to be an intense regret in their hearts; and Allah gives life and causes death and
Allah sees what you do.
[003:157] And if you are slain in the way of Allah or
you die, certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than what they
amass [what those who stay home from war receive—no loot and no perks in
heaven]. [003:158] And if indeed you die or you are slain, certainly to Allah
shall you be gathered together.
Set 10 Count 29-31 K 003:165-167
[003:165] What! when a misfortune befell you, and you had certainly afflicted
(the unbelievers) with twice as much [with war], you began to say: Whence is
this? Say: It is from yourselves; surely Allah has power over all things.
[003:166] And what befell you on the day when the two armies met ([the Battle of] Uhud)
was with Allah’s knowledge, and that He might know the believers.
[003:167] And that He might know the hypocrites; and it was said to them: Come, fight in
Allah's way, or defend yourselves. They said: If we knew fighting, we would
certainly have followed you. They were on that day much nearer to unbelief than
to belief. They say with their mouths what is not in their hearts, and Allah best
knows what they conceal.
Set 11 Count 32 K 003:169
And reckon not those who are killed in Allah’s way as dead; nay, they are
alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord [heavenly banquets];
Set 12 Count 33+34 K 003:172-173
[003:172] (As for) those who responded (at [the Battle of] Uhud) to the call of
Allah and the Apostle after a wound had befallen them, those among them
who do good (to others) and guard (against evil) shall have a great reward.
[003:173] Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gathered against
you [in battle], therefore fear them, but this increased their faith and they
said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.
Set 13 Count 35 K 003:195
So their Lord accepted their prayer: That I will not waste the work of a worker
among you, whether male or female, the one of you being from the other; they,
therefore, who fled and were turned out of their homes and persecuted in My way
and who fought and were slain, I will most certainly cover their evil deeds, and I
will most certainly make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; a
reward from Allah, and with Allah is yet better reward.
Set 14 Count 36+37 K 004:071-072
[004:071] O you who believe! take your precaution, then go forth in
detachments or go forth in a body [to war].
[004:072] And surely among you is
he who would certainly hang back [from war]! If then a misfortune befalls you
he says: ‘Allah conferred a benefit on me that I was not present with them.’
Set 15 Count 38-41 K 004:074-077
[004:074] Therefore let those fight in the way of Allah, who sell this world's
life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain
or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward. [004:075] And what
reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak
among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord!
cause us to go forth from this town whose people are oppressors, and give us
from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.
[004:076] Those who
believe fight in the way of Allah and those who disbelieve fight in the way of
the Satan. Fight therefore against the friends of the Satan; surely the strategy
of the Satan is weak.
[004:077] Have you not seen those to whom it was said:
Withhold your hands and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but when
fighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men as they ought to
have feared Allah, or (even) with a greater fear and say: Our Lord! why hast
Thou ordained fighting for us? Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a
near end? Say: The provision of this world is short and the hereafter is better for
him who guards (against evil); and you shall not be wronged the husk of a date
stone.
Set 16 Count 42 K 004:084
Fight then in Allah’s way; this is not imposed on you except in relation to
yourself, and rouse the believers to ardor maybe Allah will restrain the
fighting of those who disbelieve and Allah is strongest in prowess and strongest
to give an exemplary punishment.
Set 17 Count 43-45 K 004:089-091
[004:089] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that
you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they
fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back [to their homes], then
seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among
them a friend or a helper.
[004:090] Except those who reach a people between
whom and you there is an alliance, or who come to you, their hearts shrinking
from fighting you or fighting their own people; and if Allah had pleased, He
would have given them power over you, so that they should have certainly fought
you; therefore if they withdraw from you and do not fight you and offer you
peace, then Allah has not given you a way against them [Allah supposedly does
not allow Muslims to fight people friendly to Muslims].
[004:091] You will find
others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own
people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it
headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you and (do not) offer you
peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find
them; and against these We have given you a clear authority.
Set 18 Count 46+47 K 004:094-095
[004:094] O you who believe! when you go to war in Allah's way, make
investigation, and do not say to any one who offers you peace: You are not a
believer. Do you seek goods of this world's life! [Meaning that Muslim ought not
say someone is a non-Muslim just to plunder him.] But with Allah there are
abundant gains; you too were such before, then Allah conferred a benefit on you;
therefore make investigation; surely Allah is aware of what you do.
[004:095]
The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who
strive hard [Arabic: waalmujahidoona] in Allah's way with their property and
their persons are not equal; Allah has made the strivers [Arabic: almujahideena]
with their property and their persons to excel the holders back a (high) degree,
and to each (class) Allah has promised good; and Allah shall grant to the
strivers [Arabic: almujahideena, i.e. Jihadists] above the holders back a mighty
reward:
Set 19 Count 48-52 K 004:100-104
[004:100] And whoever flies in Allah's way [forsakes his home to fight in war],
he will find in the earth many a place of refuge and abundant resources, and
whoever goes forth from his house flying to Allah and His Apostle, and then
death overtakes him, his reward is indeed with Allah and Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
[004:101] Rodwell: And when ye go forth to war in the land, it shall
be no crime in you to cut short your prayers, if ye fear lest the infidels come
upon you; Verily, the infidels are your undoubted enemies!
[004:102] And
when you are among them and keep up the prayer for them, let a party of them
stand up with you, and let them take their arms; then when they have prostrated
themselves let them go to your rear, and let another party who have not prayed
come forward and pray with you, and let them take their precautions and their
arms; (for) those who disbelieve desire that you may be careless of your arms
and your luggage, so that they may then turn upon you with a sudden united
attack, and there is no blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain or if you
are sick, that you lay down your arms and take your precautions; surely Allah
has prepared a disgraceful chastisement for the unbelievers.
[004:103] Khalifa:
Once you complete your Contact Prayer (Salat), you shall remember GOD while
standing, sitting, or lying down. Once the war is over, you shall observe the
Contact Prayers (Salat); the Contact Prayers (Salat) are decreed for the believers
at specific times. [004:104] And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy;
if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain, and you
hope from Allah what they do not hope; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
Set 20 53 K 004:141
Sher Ali: Those who await your ruin. If you have a victory [in war] from Allah,
they say ‘Were we not with you?’ And if the disbelievers have a share of it, they
say to them, ‘Did we not on a previous occasion get the better of you and save
you from the believers?’ Allah will judge between you on the Day of
Resurrection; and Allah will not grant the disbelievers a way to prevail against the
believers.
Set 21 Count 54 K 005:033
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and
strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered
or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides
or they should be imprisoned [Pickthall and Yusuf Ali have “exiled” rather than
“imprisoned”]; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world and in the
hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Set 22 Count 55 K 005:035
O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness
to Him and strive hard [Arabic: wajahidoo] in His way that you may be
successful.
Set 23 Count 56 K 005:082
Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who
believe (to be) Jews [compare with “whenever Jews kindle fire for war, Allah
puts it out” (K 005:064)] and those who are polytheists [while they are
converted to Islam on pain of death]…
Set 24 Count 57 K 008:001
Pickthall: They ask thee (O Muhammad) of the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of
war belong to Allah and the Messenger, so keep your duty to Allah and adjust
the matter of your difference, and obey Allah and His messenger, if ye are (true)
believers.
Set 25 Count 58 K 008:005
Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth,
though a party of the believers were surely averse;
Set 26 Count 59 K 008:007
Yusuf Ali: Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it
should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah
willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of
the Unbelievers;
Set 27 Count 60+61 K 008:009-010
When you sought aid from your Lord [at the Battle of Badr], so He answered
you: I will assist you [in war] with a thousand of the angels following one
another [see K 008:012]. [008:010] And Allah only gave it as a good news and
that your hearts might be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah;
surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Set 28 Count 62 K 008:012
When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm
those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve.
Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Set 29 Count 63-65 K 008:015-017
[008:015] O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching
for war, then turn not your backs to them.
[008:016] And whoever shall turn
his back to them on that day—unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or
withdraws to a company—then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah’s wrath
and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
[008:017] So you did not
slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you
smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote [Allah gets the credit for
battles], and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself;
surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Set 30 Count 66-75 K 008:039-048
[008:039] Shakir: And fight with them until there is no more persecution and
religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what
they do.
[008:040] Yusuf Ali: If they [unbelievers] refuse [to stop fighting], be
sure that God is your Protector—the best to protect and the best to help.
[008:041] Shakir: And know that whatever thing [loot] you gain, a fifth of it is
for Allah and for the Apostle and for the near of kin and the orphans and the
needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to
Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met [in
battle]; and Allah has power over all things.
[008:042] When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you [the Makkan caravan the Muslims robbed]; and if
you had mutually made an appointment, you would certainly have broken away
from the appointment, but—in order that Allah might bring about a matter
which was to be done, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof
[bring success to Muslims engaged in robbing a caravan near Badr against all the
odds], and he who would live might live by clear proof; and most surely Allah is
Hearing, Knowing; [008:043] When Allah showed them [the Makkans] to you
in your dream as few [fighters]; and if He had shown them [the Makkans] to
you as many [fighters] you would certainly have become weak-hearted [i.e.
hearts. See the similar discussion in K 002:249 about how a smaller army can
defeat a larger army] and you would have disputed about the matter, but Allah
saved (you); surely He is the Knower of what is in the breasts. [008:044] And
when He showed them to you, when you met, as few [fighters] in your eyes and
He made you to appear little [few fighters] in their eyes, in order that Allah
might bring about a matter which was to be done [a battle brought on by
overconfidence in each side], and to Allah are all affairs returned. [008:045] O
you who believe! when you meet a party [in battle], then be firm and remember
Allah much that you may be successful. [008:046] And obey Allah and His
Apostle and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts [demoralized]
and your power [to execute war] will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with
the patient. [008:047] And be not like those [Makkans] who came forth from
their homes [to fight Muslims] in great exultation and to be seen of men, and
(who) turn away from the way of Allah, and Allah comprehends what they do.
[008:048] And when the Satan made their works fair seeming to them, and
[Satan] said [to the Makkans]: No one can overcome you this day, and surely I
[Satan] am your protector: but when the two parties [Muslims versus Makkans]
came in sight of each other he [Satan] turned upon his heels, and [Satan] said:
Surely I am clear of you [the Makkans]; surely I see what you do not see [Allah’s
angels]; surely I fear Allah; and Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
Set 31 Count 76-79 K 008:057-060
Pickthall: [008:057] If thou come on them in the war, deal with them so as to
strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.
[008:058] Khalifa: When you are betrayed by a group of people, you shall
mobilize against them in the same manner. GOD does not love the betrayers.
[008:059]Shakir: And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come
in first; surely they will not escape. [008:060] And prepare against them what
force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of
Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but)
Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah’s way [for
war], it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.
Set 32 Count 80-90 K 008:065-075
[008:065] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient
ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of
you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are
a people who do not understand [i.e. do not understand totalitarian ideologies
like Islam]. [008:066] For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He
knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of
you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall
overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.
[008:067] It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has
fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods [i.e. ransom
money] of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is
Mighty, Wise.
[008:068] Had it not been for a previous ordainment [i.e. the
revelation of K 008:067] from God, a severe penalty would have reached you for
the (ransom) that you took [or better, “would have taken”].
[008:069] Eat then
of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war [war spoils],
and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[008:070] O Prophet! say to those of the captives [non-Muslims] who are in
your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you
better than that which has been taken away from you [in war] and will forgive
you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[008:071] Yusuf Ali: But if they have treacherous designs against thee, (O Apostle!), they have already been in treason against God, and so hath [has] He [Allah] given (thee) power over them.
And God is He Who hath (full) knowledge and wisdom.
[008:072] Yusuf Ali:Those who believed and adopted exile and fought for the Faith, with their
property and their persons, in the cause of God, as well as those who gave
(them) asylum and aid, these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another. As to
those who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection to them
until they come into exile; but if they seek your aid in religion, it is your duty to
help them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance.
And (remember) God seeth [sees] all that ye do.
[008:073] Yusuf Ali: The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each
other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth and great mischief.
[008:074] Yusuf Ali: Those who believe and adopt exile and fight for the Faith
in the cause of God as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid, these are
(all) in very truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision
most generous.
[008:075] Yusuf Ali: And those who accept Faith subsequently,
and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith in your company,—they are of you. But
kindred by blood have prior rights against each other in the Book of God. Verily
God is well acquainted with all things.
Set 33 Count 91 K 009:005
So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever
you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for
them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poorrate,
leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Set 34 Count 92-94 K 009:012-014
[009:012] And if they break their oaths after their agreement and (openly) revile
your religion, then fight the leaders of unbelief—surely their oaths are
nothing—so that they may desist.
[009:013] What! will you not fight a people
who broke their oaths and aimed at the expulsion of the Apostle, and they
attacked you first; do you fear them? But Allah is most deserving that you should
fear Him, if you are believers.
[009:014] Fight them, Allah will punish them by
your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal
the hearts of a believing people.

Set 35 Count 95 K 009:016
What! do you think that you will be left alone while Allah has not yet known
those of you who have struggled hard [Arabic: jahadoo] and have not taken any
one as an adherent besides Allah and His Apostle and the believers; and Allah is
aware of what you do.
Set 36 Count 96+97 K 009:019-020
[009:019] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the
pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah
and the latter day and strives hard in Allah's way [Arabic: wajahada]? They are
not equal with Allah; and Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[009:020] Those who believed and fled (their homes), and strove hard [Arabic: wahajaroo
wajahadoo] in Allah's way with their property and their souls, are much
higher in rank with Allah; and those are they who are the achievers (of their

and your kinsfolk and property which you have acquired, and the slackness of
trade which you fear and dwellings which you like, are dearer to you than Allah
and His Apostle and striving in His way [Arabic: wajihadin], then wait till
Allah brings about His command [to go to war]: and Allah does not guide the
transgressing people.
[009:025] Certainly Allah helped you in many
battlefields and on the day of [the Battle of] Hunain, when your great
numbers made you vain, but they availed you nothing and the earth became
strait to you notwithstanding its spaciousness, then you turned back retreating.
[009:026] Then Allah sent down His tranquility upon His Apostle and upon the
believers, and sent down hosts which you did not see, and chastised those who
disbelieved [Muhammad gives credit to angels and Allah for the actions of
Jihadists], and that is the reward of the unbelievers.

Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they

truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in
acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
Set 39 Count 102 K 009:036
Surely the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s ordinance

[009:038] O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you:
Go forth in Allah's way [to war], you should incline heavily to earth; are you
contented with this world's life instead of the hereafter? But the provision of this
world's life compared with the hereafter is but little. [009:038] If you do not go
forth [to go to war], He will chastise you with a painful chastisement and
bring in your place a people other than you [to go to war], and you will do
Him no harm; and Allah has power over all things.

Those who were left behind were glad on account of their sitting behind Allah's
Apostle and they were averse from striving in Allah's way [Arabic: yujahidoo]

Therefore if Allah brings you back to a party of them and then they ask your

Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this,

lives to his: because nothing could they suffer or do, but was reckoned to their
credit as a deed of righteousness,- whether they suffered thirst, or fatigue, or
hunger, in the cause of Allah [while on a march to battle], or trod paths to
raise the ire of the Unbelievers [invade their territory], or received any injury

[048:015] Pickthall: Those who were left behind will say, “When ye set forth to
capture booty [loot]: Let us go with you.” They fain would change the verdict of
Allah. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye shall not go with us. Thus hath Allah
said beforehand. Then they will say: Ye are envious of us. Nay, but they
understand not, save a little. [048:016] Shakir: Say to those of the dwellers of the
desert who were left behind: You shall soon be invited (to fight) against a
people possessing mighty prowess; you will fight against them until they
submit; then if you obey, Allah will grant you a good reward [loot]; and if
you turn back as you turned back before, He will punish you with a painful
punishment. [048:017] Pickthall: There is no blame for the blind, nor is there
blame for the lame, nor is there blame for the sick (that they go not forth to
war). And whoso obeyeth Allah and His messenger [by going to war], He will
make him enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turneth
back [from battle], him will He punish with a painful doom. [048:018]
Certainly Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore
allegiance to you under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so
He sent down tranquility on them and rewarded them with a near victory,
[048:019] And much booty [loot] that they will capture. Allah is ever Mighty,
Wise. [048:020] Allah promised you many acquisitions which you will take,
then He hastened on this one for you and held back the hands of men from
you, and that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you on
a right path. [048:021] Sale: And [he also promiseth you] other [spoils], which
ye have not [yet] been able [to take]: But now hath God encompassed them

any protector or a helper. [048:023] Such [i.e. the battle mentioned the
previous verse] has been the course [practice] of Allah that has indeed run
before, and you shall not find a change in Allah’s course. [048:024] And He

that which Allah gave as spoil unto His messenger from them, you urged not
any horse or riding-camel for the sake thereof, but Allah gives His messenger
lordship over whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things. [059:007] That
which Allah gives as [war] spoil unto His messenger from the people of the

Ibrahim then called the moon “my lord” (K 006:077). Finally, Ibrahim saw the sun and said that of the sun, moon and stars, the moon was greatest of the three (K 006:078).

O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

The only thing Muslims can do is ask “Allah, why have you ordained fighting for us?” (K 004:077; also see K 002:216; 009:086; 033:010-012; 047:020).
Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as - or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least! K 004:077
The fact that Islam is a Jihad fighting machine explains why the punishment for apostasy is death. Apostasy is akin to deserting the army during a battle.
Allah was a war-god in pre-Islamic times is the fact that when the Makkans were about to have a civil war, war oaths were taken inside the Mosque next to the Kaaba. The oath takers then dipped their hands in scent and “rubbed their hands on the Kaaba strengthening the solemnity of the oath.”
There are two territories in Islam
… the territory of Islam and the territory of War. Some consider the sixth pillar of Islam to be Jihad,
Mohamed told Muslims to fight until all religion is for Allah K 002:093 008:039
And remember We took your covenant and We raised above you (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai): (Saying): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and hearken (to the Law)": They said:" We hear, and we disobey:" And they had to drink into their hearts (of the taint) of the calf because of their Faithlessness. Say: "Vile indeed are the behests of your Faith if ye have any faith!" K 002:093
And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do. K 008:039

Allah loves those who fight in His way in [battle] ranks as if they were a firm and compact wall (Shakir K 061:004; also see K 003:146; 005:054; 049:009; 061:004).
How many of the prophets fought (in Allah's way), and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah's way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast. K 003:146
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, K 005:033
Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." K 008:012
Islam is a fighting creed and the Mullah still stands in the pulpit with the Koran in one hand and a drawn sword in the other.
In every Mosque, according to orthodox tradition, from West Africa to Western China, a sword or staff is kept near or in Minbar, and it is required that the Khatib hold it when preaching the Friday sermon. In some cases it is made of wood—but the symbol is always present.
The Ayatollah Khomeini spoke on the purpose of Mihrabs in a 1981 speech celebrating Muhammad’s birthday:
Mihrab means the place of war, the place of fighting. Out of the Mihrabs wars should proceed. Just as all the wars of Islam used to proceeded out of the Mihrabs. The prophet has [had a] sword to kill people. Our [Holy] Imams were quite military men. All of them were warriors. They used to wield swords; they used to kill people. We need a Khalifa who would chop hands, cut throat, stone people. In the same way that the messenger of God used to chop hands, cut throats, and stone people. In the same way that he massacred the Jews of Bani Qurayza because they were a bunch of discontent people. If the Prophet used to order to burn a house or exterminate a tribe that was justice.
Mohamed's only prophesy was who would win a war K 30:002-004
And when she bore her, she said, ‘My Lord, I have borne a female [child]’ —and God [Allah] knew better what she had borne — ‘and the male is not like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Your care against [the evil of] the outcast Satan.’ (3:36)
Allah chose Mary above all other women in the world! Mary is the most important woman in Christianity, but in truth there are more references to Mary in the Quran than there are in the New Testament Bible. In fact, Mary—or Maryam—is the only woman to be referred to by name in the Quran (the names of other women are inferred from tradition).
A hadith (traditional saying) adds that “the Prophet [Mohamed] names Mary as one of the four spiritually perfected women of the world,” (763) who will “lead the soul of blessed women to Paradise” (143).
“Many men have achieved perfection and among women, Mary daughter of ‘Imran and Asiyah wife of Pharoah.” Ibn Arabi, volume 3.
And when the angels said: ‘O Mary, Allah has chosen you and purified you and He has chosen you above the women of the worlds.’ (3:42)
The Quran supports the idea of a Virgin birth. In the Quran God declares, “[Mary is the one who] preserved her chastity. We breathed Our Spirit into her and made her, and her son, signs to the worlds” (Q 21.91)
And Mary, daughter of Imran, who guarded the chastity of her womb, so We breathed into it of Our spirit… (66:12)
She [Mary] said, ‘My Lord, how shall I have a child seeing that no human has ever touched me?’ (3:47)
She [Mary] said, ‘How shall I have a child seeing that no human being has ever touched me, nor have I been unchaste?’ (19:20)
And when the angels said, ‘O Mary, Allah has chosen you and purified you and He has chosen you above the world’s women. (3:42)
… and We made her and her son [Jesus] a sign for all the nations. (21:91)
The description of the birth of Jesus sounds a great deal like the birth of Adam: God breathes life into something. Some people have seen this as anti-Christian polemic, but Gabriel Reynolds, a professor at the University of Notre Dame, notes in his book The Qur’an and Its Biblical Subtext that ;
“when the Qur’an compares the birth of Christ with that of Adam… it is indeed making a polemical point, only not against Christians. On the contrary, it is arguing against the Jews who deny the Virgin Birth and Christ himself.”
Interestingly, the Quran is completely silent about the role of Joseph. In this version of the Virgin Birth, an angel announces that Mary will give birth, Mary consents (as she does in the Gospel of Luke) but, later, feels forgotten and abandoned. As she is overcome by the burden of pregnancy, she cries out
“Would that I had died before this and was a thing forgotten, utterly forgotten!” (19:23).
The angel shows her running water and a date tree to ease her suffering. The reference to eating dates is especially noteworthy as, even today, dates are thought to induce labor. After giving birth, Mary returns with her child to the Temple. There, Jesus miraculous speaks (as an infant) and proclaims his identity as a prophet. To this day March 25, the Day of the Annunciation, is a public holiday in Lebanon.
John the Babtist, Yaḥyā ibn Zakarīyā in Arabic -- Yahya is also honored highly in Sufism as well as Islamic mysticism, primarily because of the Quran's description of John's chastity and kindness.[4] Sufis have frequently applied commentaries on the passages on John in the Quran, primarily concerning the God-given gift of wisdom which he acquired in youth as well as his parallels with Jesus. Although several phrases used to describe John and Jesus are virtually identical in the Quran, the manner in which they are expressed is different.
Yahya was exhorted to hold fast to the scripture and was given wisdom by God while still a child.[14] He was pure and devout, and walked well in the presence of God. He was dutiful towards his parents and he was not arrogant or rebellious. John's reading and understanding of the scriptures, when only a child, surpassed even that of the greatest scholars of the time.[6] Muslim exegesis narrates that Isa sent Yahya out with twelve disciples,[15] who preached the message before Jesus called his own disciples.[7] The Quran says:[16]
"O Yaḥya! take hold of the Book with might": and We gave him Wisdom even as a youth,
— Maryam, 19:12
John was a classical prophet,[17] who was exalted high by God for his bold denouncing of all things sinful. Furthermore, the Quran speaks of John's gentle piety and love and his humble attitude towards life, for which he was granted the purity of Life.
According to Islamic tradition, Yahya used to go to the Haram esh-Sharif (Temple Mount) to deliver his sermons.[3]
During the prophethood of Yahya, a conflict occurred between him and Herod Antipas, who wanted to divorce his first wife and take as wife his former sister-in-law.[3] Yahya informed that the marriage might be incestuous, and did not approve of the marriage. After this, Herod Antipas had Yahya imprisoned.[3] Yahya was then decapitated.[18][3] Yahya's head is believed to be inside the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus

David Koresh = Vernon Wayne Howell
Howell moved quickly to assert his spiritual authority, and one of his first acts was the adoption of a new name, David Koresh. This name suggested that he was a spiritual heir of the biblical King David and that he, like Koresh (Hebrew for Cyrus, the ancient Persian king), was a messianic figure—though not the Messiah, Jesus. (Cyrus is the only non-Jew to whom the title messiah, or "anointed one," is given in Scripture.)
February 28, 1993 the Mount Carmel headquarters was raided by the ATF. After a long standoff ... on April 19, 1993 the headquarter building was burned down by the FBI in an attempt to enter.
918 Americans (304 aged 17 or younger) – members of a San Francisco-based religious group called the Peoples Temple – died after drinking poison at the urging of their leader, the Reverend Jim Jones, in a secluded South American jungle settlement.
I decided, how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church. So I consciously made a decision to look into that prospect.
Jones had previously witnessed a faith healing service at the Seventh Day Baptist Church, and concluded that such healings could attract people, and generate income, helping to accomplish his social goals.[3] Jones and Temple members knowingly faked healings because they found that the increased faith generated financial resources to help the poor and finance the church.[3] These "healings" involved chicken livers and other animal tissue, claimed by Jones (and confederate Temple members) to be cancerous tissues removed from the body.[5]
The Temple used ten to fifteen Greyhound-type bus cruisers to transport members up and down California freeways each week for recruitment and fundraising.[33]Jones always rode bus number seven, which contained armed guards and a special section lined with protective metal plates.[33] He told members that the Temple would not bother scheduling a trip unless it could net $100,000, and the Temple's goal for annual net income from bus trips was $1 million
Jone's church organized conventions that drew as many as 11,000 attendees,[6] as Jones and the other preachers conducted "healings" and impressed attendees by revealing private information—usually numbers, such as addresses, phone numbers, or Social Security numbers, which private detectives could easily discover beforehand.[6]
In 1961, Jones claimed he had had a vision of Chicago coming under a nuclear attack.[16] He claimed that Indianapolis would also be destroyed,[16] convincing aides that the Temple needed to look for a new location. A 1962 Esquire magazine article listed the nine safest places to be in a nuclear war, so Jimmy set out to find a safe place to preach. Jones preached that his healing power demonstrated that he was a special manifestation of "Christ the Revolution.
"Jim said that all of us were homosexuals," Joyce Houston, an ex-Temple follower, said in the Jonestown documentary. "Everyone except [him]. He was the only heterosexual on the planet, and that the women were all lesbians; the guys were all gay. And so anyone who showed in interest in sex was just compensating."
During Ryan's visit in Jonestown, a few settlers told the congressman that they wanted to return to the States, an act that Jones saw as a betrayal. Afterwards when Ryan, the defectors, and the journalists were waiting at the Port Kaituma airstrip for planes to take them home, a truck arrived carrying Temple gunmen who then opened fire.
Jones then made his speech to his followers in the Jonestown pavilion. He commanded his followers to drink cyanide-laced punch, starting with the children first. Long before the actual event, Jones had his followers drink what they initially believed was poison as a test of loyalty to him, which was a rehearsal for the event he had planned. There were armed guards with guns and crossbows to ensure that nobody was getting out alive. Then gave the order to kill the children first.
Jim Jones, who was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head. There is credible speculation that the person shot in the side of the head was not actually Jim Jones.
Congressman Leo Ryan
This year, November 18th will mark the 40th anniversary of the “Jonestown massacre”. It was the largest such event in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a deliberate act until the state-sponsored staged events on September 11 in 2001.
9/11 was the event responsible for waking up many people to government deception by way of official narratives, investigations, reports and so on. 9/11 has also been responsible for motivating woke people to reexamine and often unlearn the official accounts of historical events. The Jonestown massacre is such an event that needs to be unlearned.
Drink the Flavor Aid
First off, nobody drank Kool-Aid at the behest of Jim Jones, cult leader of the Peoples Temple at their agricultural commune known as “Jonestown” in the South American country of Guyana. It was Flavor Aid—not Kool-Aid that was laced with cyanide poison and according to the Guyana government’s top pathologist, it was murder—not “revolutionary suicide” that claimed the lives of 911 of his “followers”. [Yes, you read correctly. 911 deaths were reported by the Washington Post on December 17, 1978. Add another one to the you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up file.]
Dr. C. Leslie Mootoo found that 90 percent of the victims had fresh needle marks at the back of their left shoulder blades. Obviously, someone else would have had to inject them there. He also observed that other people were found shot or strangled to death and others had cyanide poison forcefully squirted into their throats. Surviving eyewitnesses said that anyone who resisted drinking was killed by armed guards. Furthermore, a U.S. Army spokesperson declared, “no autopsies were needed as the cause of death was not an issue”. [Haven’t we seen this movie before?]

Initial media reports claimed that Jones convinced 408 of his followers to drink the deadly Kool-Aid. Over the next week, the media continued to report 408 deaths but also began reporting that 700 followers survived and ran off into the Guyanese jungle and U.S. army teams had arrived on site. Inexplicably, the death toll increased to 700 then 800 and finally 911 just one week after the initial reports of 408.
“All the Fake News That’s Fit to Print”
The New York Times reported on November 25th the additional 500 deaths were discovered because the Guyanese officials “could not count”. Following reports claimed the new dead bodies were discovered hiding underneath the original bodies even though not one photograph of the hundreds taken showed any hidden bodies.
There’s always TIME for more propaganda
At the time, there were people who speculated that the seven hundred survivors that fled for the jungle were hunted down and killed by U.S. Military, Guyanese troops and British commandos who happened to be in the neighborhood for “training exercises”. But it was Dr. Peter David Beter that revealed the truth about what really happened for those who subscribed his “audio letters”.
In Dr. Beter’s audio letter #40 from November 30, 1978, he disclosed that the Jonestown massacre was in fact staged by the U.S. military. This mass casualty event allowed the military to take-out a nearby Soviet missile base and remove the bodies and warheads in coffins that were reportedly carrying the victims of the massacre. He explained this is why the military brought sixteen C-131 aircraft, allegedly just to remove the bodies with only thirty-six caskets allotted for each plane. This was despite the fact that this aircraft was commonly used for transporting tanks, trucks, troops and ammunition all in a single plane.

So, add the Jonestown massacre to ever increasing list of historical events that one must unlearn in order to uncover the truth. The new revised editions of our history books should read, “The government staged events on November 18, 1978 resulted in the largest loss of American civilian life in a deliberate covert act until the government staged events on September 11, 2001.

We Hereby Make This Statement Of Our Faith And Practice;
We believe Sacred Scripture as interpreted by the Church, together with the Seven Undisputed General Councils of the Whole Church, together with doctrines believed by the Church as a whole prior to the Great Schism of 1054, as defining the belief of the Whole Church. Every person wishing to become a member of this Church must affirm this Faith as contained in the articles below.
We affirm the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as interpreted by the Church, as containing everything that is necessary for salvation, and as being the rule and ultimate statement of the Faith of the Church.
We accept the Canon of Scripture as handed down from of Old.
We affirm the “Nicene Creed” as the principal creed of the Faith of the Church. We also recognize the Western Baptismal Creed, commonly called the "Apostles Creed," and the hymn commonly called the "Athanasian Creed" as representing statements of the Nicene Faith.
We believe that the Nicene Creed is a literal statement of the belief of the Church and is not subject to interpretation which dismisses as merely allegorical or merely mythological any portion thereof.
We affirm the Seven Sacraments Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, Holy Order, Holy Matrimony, Penance and Holy Unction administered with the unfailing use of the traditional outward and visible signs, and the form, matter, ministers and intention received of old.
We affirm the Historic three-fold ministry of Bishops, priests and deacons, and the traditional rights and powers thereof, locally adapted in the methods of its administration according to the needs of the nations in which the Church resides, but historic in form, matter, ministers and intention.
We affirm that, in accordance with Sacred Scripture and ancient Tradition, only males may be ordained to the Diaconate, Priesthood, or Episcopate.
We affirm the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist when the Eucharist is performed by a validly ordained Priest of the Holy Catholic Church, with the elements ordained by Christ, and a valid Canon of the Mass including Christ’s Words of Institution and the Epiklesis.
We affirm that those who receive the Sacraments unworthily do so to their detriment, but do so without effecting the nature or efficacy of the Sacrament itself.
We affirm that the unworthiness of a minister of a Sacrament does not invalidate the Sacrament, but, rather, that a Sacrament performed with the proper matter and form, and with the intention of the Church to make such action a Sacrament, remains valid, whether or not the minister is worthy to administer that Sacrament.
We affirm that marriage, conducted as a Sacrament, with the full understanding and intention of both parties to make a marriage, is indissoluble except by death. However, we believe that the Church may annul "marriages" which have taken place without full understanding and intention of the parties involved, and counsel that error be made on the side of compassion for those seeking to make marriages after divorce.
We affirm an openness to all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the so-called "Charismata," but finding it unscriptural to require that anyone exercise any particular Charism to be considered a full, believing member of this body. (I Corinthians 12:21) Those who exercise the Charismata are welcome and encouraged to exercise their gifts to the edification of the Church in an orderly, Biblical manner, subject to the godly discipline of the Pastor of the Parish to which they have allegiance.
We believe in an intermediate state wherein, after death, those who do not die in a state of grace but are destined for salvation, will be purged of the last stains of sin. We deny that this intermediate state is a place of torture and fear, but affirm that any pains endured in this state are gladly embraced, as they are the pains of releasing our earthly bondage and conforming to the Will of God in all things.
We believe that there is a possibility that some will reject grace, no matter how often it is offered, and these people freely choose to remain in a state of separation from God. This state of spirit we call "Hell." It is a freely chosen state of the damned to be damned. It is not the will of the Father that any be lost.
We believe that humans are truly endowed with free-will and can freely choose Life in Christ Jesus or death through the rejection of grace.
We believe that the Holy Scriptures are inerrant on all matters of faith and morals.
We believe that people are justified by faith, which is demonstrated in good works and obedient practice. Both faith and works are necessary to the living of a Christian life.
We believe that there is a "cloud of witnesses," the Saints, whom we may ask to pray for us as one would ask any other member of the Church. It is an idolatrous practice, however, to ask Saints to give us any material or physical blessing of their own. For, while the prayer of the righteous is very effective (James 5:16), yet every good thing comes from the Father (James 1:17).
We believe that the "Sacrifice of the Mass" is a "making present" of Jesus’ One Sacrifice, once offered, forever. Jesus’ Sacrifice is made present on the altar, and, as such, the Mass may be spoken of as a Sacrifice. Therefore, it is appropriate that Masses be offered for the living and the dead, making present to the Church now the One Sacrifice once offered, and making very present the benefits of Christ’s Holy Sacrifice to the benefit of those present at the offering.
We believe that Mary, mother of Jesus, was truly the Theotokos, or bearer of the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity. When Mary is called "Mother of God" we truly honor her who gave everything of herself to secure our Salvation. However, the Theotokos is called "Mother of God" in the sense that she bore Jesus, who was and is the Incarnation of the Son, not in the sense that she generated, in any way, the Godhead.
We believe that the prayers of the Blessed Virgin are effective because of her great and unique faith, and because she has a relationship which is unique with God from having been the bearer of the Son. The relationship, which exists between Jesus and His mother, is the same relationship Jesus wants to have with all believers. Mary is unique because of her great faith, and it is this which gives special power to her prayers, and her maternal relationship with the Lord.
We believe that all Bishops who have valid orders and remain in the orthodox faith, are successors of the Apostles, and, while we accord to the Bishop of Rome great respect, and primacy of position, we see him as first among equals, however completely reject the Papal Claims of Universal Jurisdiction and Infallibility.
We believe that faithful Christian Marriage between a male and a female, free of impediments, is the only legitimate state for sexual expression between individuals.
We believe that whatsoever is not repugnant to the Catholic Faith, but which aids in belief and devotion, may be believed as pious opinion, but may not be taught as doctrine of the Church.
We affirm that the Eucharist is the principal service of the Church; that its celebration is commanded by the Lord, and that it shall be the regularly celebrated Sunday Worship whenever possible.
