The Tolerance of the Prophet towards Other Religions

Salam, Tolerance should have a limit. Allah does not privilege coward Muslims. [The Quran 4:95] Not equal are the sedentary among the believers who are not handicapped, and those who strive in the cause of GOD with their money and their lives. GOD exalts the strivers with their money and their lives above the sedentary. For both, GOD promises salvation, but GOD exalts the strivers over the sedentary with a great recompense. Prophet Abraham was thrown into the fire by idol worshippers and God Himself had to interfere to save him, as Muslims were too weak to protest idol worshippers. But Prophet Solomon was strong enough so he summoned Queen of Saba to his palace to embrace Islam otherwise he would have sent his troops to give a good lesson to Queen of Saba and her elite citizens! Many cases nice words never work, if it works then many messengers of God would not be killed or severely harassed. Definitely God’s messengers were smart enough to preach God’s religion smartly. [The Quran 2:87] We gave Moses the scripture, and subsequent to him we sent other messengers, and we gave Jesus, son of Mary, profound miracles and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Is it not a fact that every time a messenger went to you with anything you disliked, your ego caused you to be arrogant? Some of them you rejected, and some of them you killed. True Islam is based on the holy Quran alone. It is not as much difficult to understand as rocket science anyway. But few ignorant hadiths followers are using unacceptable languages against genuine Muslims! We could bring those ignorant hadith followers (only those who use bad languages) to the court and hopefully finally to the prison. We have every right to preach true Islam based on the holy Quran Alone and anybody has right to accept or reject it. But nobody has right to use any insulting language against us. That’s why genuine Muslims must be firmed and very united. We have to follow the whole Quran. [The Quran 48:29] Muhammad - the messenger of GOD - and those with him are harsh and stern against the disbelievers, but kind and compassionate amongst themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, as they seek GOD's blessings and approval. Their marks are on their faces, because of prostrating. This is the same example as in the Torah. Their example in the Gospel is like plants that grow taller and stronger, and please the farmers. He thus enrages the disbelievers. GOD promises those among them who believe, and lead a righteous life, forgiveness and a great recompense. USA is recently thinking seriously to make military operation against severe cyber attacks. Laws and human rights are very good in USA as compared to the most of the so called Muslim countries; still they need strongest military and top sophisticated modern weapons to protect themselves. Criminals most of the cases, do not listen nice words, so Allah also commands Muslims: [The Quran 5:54] O you who believe, if you revert from your religion, then GOD will substitute in your place people whom He loves and who love Him. They will be kind with the believers, stern with the disbelievers, and will strive in the cause of GOD without fear of any blame. Such is GOD's blessing; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. GOD is Bounteous, Omniscient. [The Quran 4:89] They wish that you disbelieve as they have disbelieved, then you become equal. Do not consider them friends, unless they mobilize along with you in the cause of GOD. If they turn against you, you shall fight them, and you may kill them when you encounter them in war. You shall not accept them as friends, or allies. [The Quran 4:71] O you who believe, you shall remain alert, and mobilize as individuals, or mobilize all together. [4:72] Surely, there are those among you who would drag their feet, then, if a setback afflicts you, they would say, "GOD has blessed me that I was not martyred with them." [4:73] But if you attain a blessing from GOD, they would say, as if no friendship ever existed between you and them, "I wish I was with them, so I could share in such a great victory." [4:74] Those who readily fight in the cause of GOD are those who forsake this world in favor of the Hereafter. Whoever fights in the cause of GOD, then gets killed, or attains victory, we will surely grant him a great recompense. I like Dr Rashad’s personality, he was a brave man. Open Challenge To the Disbelievers. Everybody has to die, just few days/years earlier or later. [The Quran 4:78] Wherever you are, death will catch up with you, even if you live in formidable castles… [The Quran 8:60] You shall prepare for them all the power you can muster, and all the equipment you can mobilize, that you may frighten the enemies of GOD, your enemies, as well as others who are not known to you; GOD knows them. Whatever you spend in the cause of GOD will be repaid to you generously, without the least injustice. Of course, all these verses are of the context of self defense. Obviously there is no compulsion in God’s religion. Thanks and regards. http://www.progressive-muslim.org/
