Re: What do people believe when it comes to religion and or spirituality?
Hi Sukil,
Let me reply to your post by offering you a historical context. But before I get to that, please remember that some websites try to bad mouth us Muslims. The verse "and kill them wherever yee find them." Doesn't mean that a Muslim should grab a disbeliever and chop off his head. Indeed, I have non believing friends and I have interacted wwwith them, neither of which is against my religion. The Prophet's uncle Abu Talib was a disbeliever, but the Prophet didn't fight him because his uncle respected his faith. During the time of the Prophet, the Muslims were persicuted. They had to watch their family members die, were beaten, etc. These verses therefore came down to instruct the Muslims to slay those who directly waged warfare against them. Indeed, Hazrat Umer, the second leader of our nation after the death of the Prophet S.A.W agreed to protect other religious establishments, such as Churches. There was also an insidant when a man came to t
he Prophet S.A.W and claimed what he had was better than our religion. So Prophet Muhammad S.A.W let him recite old scrolls that the man liked to memorise. Then he recited Qur'an. Lastly, Allah allows men to marry the people of the book i.e. Christians and Jews. He also says, "nore take them as secret concubins." So you can see how these arn't actually atrosities. If you weally want to learn Islam from a reliable source, I suggest you listen to understanding Islam by Numen Ali Kon.
Best regards.
