Quran! is it peaceful? Passages on Killing and Terrorism in the Qur’an

Dear Believer, would you like to read about the verses of killing in the Holy Qur’an?

I woke up today to the news of terrorism committed by individuals bearing extremist Islamic thought in the world, and as usual, Muslims are divided in their reactions into two apparently contradicting groups, but they arrive at the same result in essence.

The first group takes pleasure and rejoices in the occurrence of casualties, wishing for more. There’s no point in debating with these individuals. The second group consists of the so-called light version (lite) of Muslims, who repeat their famous phrase: “these do not represent Islam”. I consider this group to be ignorant of the religion and Islamic history, and we need to convey the information to them so they can understand the great deception and the falsified history under which they live, before matters escalate further.

Today, I present an idea aimed at archiving and documenting the maximum possible number of texts (exclusively Qur’anic) that explicitly mention the act of killing a human being. I will not delve into the life of Muhammad and his companions as it is a rich and extensive subject that cannot be covered by a single article. Unless Muslims address the flaws in their religious texts, they will not be able to achieve peace, prosperity, and keep pace with the civilized world. The era of religious warfare and killing has ended and it should have no place in this world. Muslims must address these texts as long as they adhere to this religion, it is their responsibility to deal with these passages and expunge them from their sacred texts

Some individuals hold the belief that the Quran came only as guidance and mercy. Unbeknownst to them, it also carries elements of misguidance and affliction. Such were our assumptions, and so it remains for many.

Indeed, Muslims blindly followed Muhammad, without critical thought or reasoning, under the impression that he was the best of Allah’s creation, and that he brought light and guidance. Upon reflection and contemplation, our doubt led us to conduct an investigation. The harsh and shocking truth revealed itself: he was a manifestation of malevolence.

Struck by this revelation, we roamed aimlessly in a state of confusion, like lost lunatics. However, through the clarity of our own reasoning, we found the straight and right path. We came to understand that Muhammad embodied evil, sweetening the bitter with the sweet, presenting himself as a gentle lamb, while his heart held the characteristics of a destructive wolf. He corrupted, distorted, enslaved women, killed men, terrified children, squandered resources, assassinated opponents, and permitted himself liberties he denied his followers. He also allowed his followers concessions he did not extend to others.

All of this was done in the name of the Lord. The question arises: could any greater or more severe evil exist? We are living through a tragedy that was instigated by Muhammad 1400 years ago and continues to persist. Every day, in every hour, and on every land, there are victims and mourners terrified by the sword of Muhammad and the barbarity of his teachings.

Our investigation always focused on the texts, not on the actions of individuals, which might contradict their religious teachings. All points raised here are according to the established texts and clear verses. This topic collates some verses related to killing and warfare in Islam.

Before skeptics question or interpreters reinterpret these clear verses, which abrogated any verses of peace, if any existed, it is important to note that these verses were revealed in Medina and not Mecca. Most beautiful verses advocating peace were revealed in Mecca, when Muhammad was relatively weak.

Refer to the exegesis of al-Qurtubi and other authoritative interpretations for the Prophet’s saying: “My sustenance is placed under the shade of my spear, and humiliation and ignominy are imposed on those who oppose my command.”

We address the following to the doubtful reader:

Consider the verse 5 of Surah At-Tawbah: “When the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every ambush. However, if they repent, establish prayer and give zakah, let them go their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

In the exegesis of Ibn Kathir, it is reported that Ali ibn Abi Talib said, “The Prophet was dispatched with four swords.” According to al-Qurtubi’s interpretation, this verse abrogated all verses in the Qur’an that mentioned tolerance and patience in the face of harm.

Refer to the exegesis of verse 35 from Surah Muhammad: “So do not falter and call for peace while you have the upper hand, and Allah is with you, and He will never leave your deeds unrequited.”

Here, Muhammad’s God prevents him from seeking peace and truce now that he has become powerful, and instead commands him to raid and coerce others.

This is the religion of Islam, the tolerant religion of peace, which calls for peace when it is weak, and calls for the conquest and coercion of others when it is strong and robust. This approach remains prevalent in Islamic thought to this day.

Also, review the interpretation of verse 85 from Surah Al-Hijr: “We did not create the heavens and the earth and everything in between except with truth, and indeed, the Hour is coming. So pardon with a beautiful pardoning.”

Refer to al-Qurtubi’s interpretation of the Prophet’s saying, “Indeed, I have come to you with slaughter, and I have been sent with reaping. I have not been sent with planting.”

Also, consider verse 83 from Surah Al-Imran: “Do they seek a religion other than Allah’s, while to Him alone submit all those in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him they will be returned.”

Review al-Qurtubi’s statement on the Prophet’s saying, “Do not curse my companions. Indeed, my companions submitted out of fear of Allah, and people submitted out of fear of the sword.”

On the matter of executing prisoners of war:

Verse 67 of Surah Anfal states: “It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre in the land. You desire the commodities of this world, but Allah desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.”

Al-Qurtubi’s interpretation suggests this verse was revealed during the Day of Badr as a reproach from Allah to the companions of his Prophet. Essentially, the verse implies that it was inappropriate for them to engage in actions that would necessitate the Prophet having captives before a great battle.

Is the verse about executing prisoners of war abrogated?

Al-Qurtubi in Volume 2, Page 391, responds: If it is asked – even if the verse is not abrogated, what is the reason that Allah first ordered fighting only those who fight, then later permitted fighting them, regardless of whether they fight or not? The answer is: Initially, Muslims were few in number, and circumstances necessitated gentleness and courtesy. However, when Islam became strong, the congregation increased, and some persisted in disbelief despite clear miracles and their repetition, thus losing hope of their conversion to Islam, Allah commanded them to fight without any restrictions… This serves as evidence for executing prisoners of war.

On the matter of violating women and their living spouses:

Verse 24 of Surah An-Nisa states: “And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess.”

This suggests that married women are prohibited to you except for those whom you have captured in war, and many Hadiths support this. Review the interpretations by Al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, and others. Also consider Al-Mizan by Al-Tabarsi, who tried to sidestep the issue due to its severity but was unable to do so.

Al-Tabatabai, the author of Al-Mizan, refers to the following narration in his research: Various scholars, including Al-Tayalisi, Abd Al-Razzaq, Al-Firyabi, Ibn Abi Shayba, Ahmad, Abd ibn Hamid, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Nasai, Abu Ya’la, Ibn Jarir, Ibn Al-Mundhir, Ibn Abi Hatim, Al-Tahawi, Ibn Hayyan, and Al-Bayhaqi in his Sunan, narrate from Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah sent an army to Autas on the day of Hunain. They encountered the enemy and fought them. They prevailed over them and obtained captives. Some people from the companions of the Messenger of Allah seemed to feel embarrassed to have sexual intercourse with the captive women because of their pagan husbands. So, Allah, exalted be He, sent down regarding that: “And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess.” This means: except those whom Allah has put into your hands, thus we were allowed to have sexual intercourse with these women.

Concerning Massacres in Islam:

The massacre of Banu Qurayza serves as one notable example, among dozens of historically and narratively documented massacres, referenced through Quranic verses. Despite their surrender and lack of resistance, the men and boys of the Banu Qurayza were killed as noted in Surah Al-Ahzab (33), verses 26 and 27:

“He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts [so that] a party you killed, and you took captive a party. And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And ever is Allah, over all things, competent.”

In the Islamic sources, the manner and extent of Muhammad’s slaughter of the Banu Qurayza are recorded. According to Ibn Ishaq: They surrendered, and the Messenger of Allah confined them in Medina in the house of Bint al-Harith, a woman from Banu al-Najjar. Then the Messenger of Allah went out to the market of Medina, which is still its market today, and dug trenches in it. He sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah, Huyayy bin Akhtab and Ka`b bin Asad, the head of the tribe. They were between six and seven hundred in number. The most exaggerated figure says they were eight to nine hundred.

Shia individuals may reference these verses in Al-Mizan interpretation by Al-Tabatabai or Al-Bayan interpretation by Al-Tabarsi.

Concerning verses expelling or killing all non-Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula after Muhammad’s triumph and strengthening, such references can be found in Surah At-Tawbah, revealed in Muhammad’s later years. Those from the People of the Book were given a respite of four months, after which they had to either convert to Islam or leave. Those who were not of the People of the Book faced the options of conversion to Islam or death by the sword, a consensus held by all Muslim sects… such was the mercy of Muhammad.

Here are some verses regarding killing and combat in the Quran:

Surah At-Tawbah verse 29: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”

Surah Muhammad verse 35: “So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds.”

Surah Al-Mumtahanah verse 1: “O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you have come out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.”

Surah Al-Ma’idah verse 57: “O you who have believed, take not those who have taken your religion in ridicule and amusement among the ones who were given the Scripture before you nor the disbelievers as allies. And fear Allah, if you should [truly] be believers.”

Surah Al-Anfal verse 60: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.”

Surah At-Tawbah verse 28: “O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise.”

Surah At-Tawbah verse 5: “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah reported that Ali ibn Abi Talib said, “The Prophet was sent with four swords.”

Tafsir Al-Qurtubi: This verse abrogates every other verse in the Quran where turning the other cheek and patience in the face of harm are mentioned.

Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Verse 12:
“When your Lord revealed to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.'”

Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Verse 39:
“And fight them until there is no fitnah (unbelief) and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease – then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.”

Surah Muhammad, Verse 4:
“So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah – never will He waste their deeds.”

Surah Al-Fath (The Victory), Verse 16:
“Say to those bedouins who lagged behind, ‘You will be called to [face] a people of great military might; you may fight them, or they will submit. So if you obey, Allah will give you a good reward; but if you turn away as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.'”

Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Verse 65:
“O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand.”

Surah Al-Ahzab (The Combined Forces), Verse 26:
“And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts [so that] a party you killed, and you took captive a party.”

Surah Al-Ahzab (The Combined Forces), Verse 27:
“And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And ever is Allah, over all things, competent.”

Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), Verse 14:
“Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people.”

Surah Al-Ma’idah (The Table Spread), Verse 33:
“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.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 193:
“And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease – then indeed, aggression is only against the wrongdoers.”

Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), Verse 12:
“And if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease.”

Finally, referring to the Tafsir Al-Qurtubi and the statement that whoever insults the Prophet should be killed.

Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), Verse 123:
“O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.”

The phrase “kill them” which is mentioned in the Qur’an, is a commandment to Muslims to kill non-Muslims, also referred to as disbelievers. This is expressed in several verses in the Qur’an.

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 191:
“And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 193:
“And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 216:
“Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 217:
“They ask you about the sacred month – about fighting therein. Say, ‘Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing.’ And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever – for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 244:
“And fight in the cause of Allah and know that Allah is Hearing and Knowing.”

Surah An-Nisa (The Women), Verse 74:
“So let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward.”

Surah An-Nisa (The Women), Verse 76:
“Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.”

Surah An-Nisa (The Women), Verse 84:
“So fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allah will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.”

Surah An-Nisa (The Women), Verse 89:
“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever

When your Lord revealed to the angels: “I am with you, so make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike above the necks and strike off every fingertip of them” (Al-Anfal 12).

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, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself. Verily, Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing (Al-Anfal 17).

And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then surely Allah is Seer of what they do (Al-Anfal 39).

And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know but whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged (Al-Anfal 60).

O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand (Al-Anfal 65).

But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful (At-Tawbah 5).

And if they break their pledges after their treaty and assail your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief – surely, they have no pledges – so that they may desist (At-Tawbah 12).

Will you not fight a people who have broken their oaths and intended to expel the Messenger while they were the first to attack you? Do you fear them? But Allah is more deserving that you should fear Him, if you are [truly] believers (At-Tawbah 13).

Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people (At-Tawbah 14).

Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled (At-Tawbah 29).

Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s ordinance since the day He created the heavens and the earth, of these four are sacred. That is the right religion. So do not wrong yourselves in them. And fight the polytheists all together just as they fight you all together. And know that Allah is with those who fear Him. (At-Tawbah 36).

O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination. (At-Tawbah 73).

And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts, so that a party you killed, and you took captive a party. And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And Allah is over all things competent. (Al-Ahzab 26-27).

So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike at their necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either grant them favor afterwards or ransom them until the war lays down its burdens. That, and if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them, but to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah – never will He waste their deeds. (Muhammad 4).

So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of your deeds. (Muhammad 35).

And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. (Al-Baqarah 191).

And fight them until there is no fitnah and until the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease – then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do. (Al-Baqarah 193).

Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. (Al-Baqarah 216).

(Al-Baqarah 217) “They ask you about the sacred month – about fighting therein. Say, ‘Fighting therein is great sin, but averting people from the way of God and disbelief in Him and the Sacred Mosque and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater in the sight of God. And fitnah is greater than killing.’ And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion and dies while he is a disbeliever – for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.”

(Al-Baqarah 244) “And fight in the cause of God and know that God is Hearing and Knowing.”

(An-Nisa 74) “So let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of God and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward.”

(An-Nisa 76) “Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.”

(An-Nisa 84) “So fight, [O Muhammad], in the cause of God; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers that perhaps God will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. And God is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.”

(An-Nisa 89) “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of God. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.”

(Al-Ma’idah 33) “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against God 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.”

(Al-Anfal 12) “When your Lord inspired to the angels, ‘I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.'”

(Al-Anfal 17) “And you did not kill them, but it was God who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was God who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, God is Hearing and Knowing.”

“And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do.” (Al-Anfal 39)

“And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.” (Al-Anfal 60)

“O Prophet! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand.” (Al-Anfal 65)

“Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (At-Tawbah 5)

“But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism then fight (you) the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish – pagans of Makkah) – for surely their oaths are nothing to them – so that they may stop (evil actions).” (At-Tawbah 12)

“Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makkah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first? Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.” (At-Tawbah 13)

“Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people.” (At-Tawbah 14)

“Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (At-Tawbah 29)

“Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are Sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) collectively as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious).” (At-Tawbah 36)

“O Prophet (Muhammad)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, – and worst indeed is that destination.” (At-Tawbah 73)

“And He brought down those who supported them among the People of the Scripture from their fortresses and cast terror into their hearts [so that] a party you killed, and you took captive a party. And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And ever is Allah, over all things, competent.” (Al-Ahzab 26-27)

“So, when you meet (in fight Jihad in Allah’s Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam (i.e. are saved from the punishment in the Hereafter) or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.” (Muhammad 4)

“So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be superior (in victory) if you are indeed (true) believers. If a wound (and killing) has touched you, be sure a similar wound (and killing) has touched the others. And so are the days (good and not so good), We give to men by turns, that Allah may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And Allah likes not the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).” (Muhammad 35)

Differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf

Differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf

Imagine being told for 1400 years that the Quran is the unaltered, perfect word of Allah—letter-perfect, preserved by divine miracle, immune to human error or tampering. Muslims chant it from minarets, swear by it in courts, and kill for it. Yet, here’s the explosive truth: the Quran exists in multiple conflicting versions, with stark differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf that shatter this satanic deception. Hafs, recited by 95% of Muslims worldwide, clashes with Warsh, used by 3% mainly in North Africa. These aren’t trivial accents; they are textual variants—51 documented ones here alone—altering words, meanings, and doctrines. This isn’t preservation; it’s a fraudulent patchwork exposing Islam as a man-made hoax, propping up Muhammad’s power grab with fabricated revelation. Dive in, and see how Allah’s eternal word crumbles under scrutiny.

The Myth of Quranic Perfection Exposed

Muslims boast the Quran is mutawatir—mass-transmitted without variant—unlike the corrupted Bible. But reality bites: Uthman’s caliphate standardized a skeleton text (rasm) without vowels or dots, leading to competing qira’at (recitations). Hafs ‘an ‘Asim dominates today, canonized by Egypt’s 1924 printing. Warsh ‘an Nafi’, popular in Morocco and Algeria, traces differently. Apologists squeal all authentic from Muhammad! Yet, these differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf include pronouns shifting from Allah (He) to We, verbs changing tenses, nouns swapping (king vs. master), proving human invention, not divine dictation. If Allah spoke once perfectly, why two Qurans? This fraudster god forgot his own script, or Muhammad’s followers doctored it post-mortem. It’s not piety; it’s polytheism in print, a satanic scam enslaving billions.

Key Differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf: 51 Proofs of Fabrication

These 51 variants aren’t exhaustive—scholars list thousands—but they suffice to torch the preservation myth. Each changes the Arabic rasm or pronunciation, impacting translation and theology. Hafs on left, Warsh on right. Brace for the demolition.

1. Sovereign vs. King (Quran 1:4)

Hafs: مَلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ (Maliki yawmi d-deen) – Owner/King of the Day of Recompense.
Warsh: مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ (Maaliki yawmi d-deen) – Master/Sovereign.
Subtle? Malik implies ownership; Maalik possession. Allah waffles on his title? Fraud alert!

2-3. Deceive and Lie (Quran 2:9-10)

Hafs: يَخْدَعُونَ (seek to deceive); كَذَبُوا (used to lie).
Warsh: يَكِيدُونَ (plot to deceive); كَذَبُوا (tell lies).
Plotters or deceivers? Liars habitually or casually? Satanic subtlety hides contradictions.

4. We Forgive vs. He Forgives (Quran 2:58)

Hafs: نَّغْفِرْ (We will forgive).
Warsh: يُغْفَرْ (He will forgive).
Allah’s plural majesty slips? Or copyist error? Divine word, human mess.

5-6. What You Do vs. What They Do; Imperative Shift (Quran 2:85, 119)

Hafs: تَعْمَلُونَ (you do); ولا تُسْأَلُ (you will not be asked).
Warsh: يَعْمَلُونَ (they do); ولا تَسْئَلْ (do not ask).
Accountability flips. Hypocrites addressed or general? Islam’s perfect text dodges responsibility.

7-9. Take vs. Have Taken; Enjoined vs. Instructed; Say vs. Do They Say (Quran 2:125, 132, 140)

Hafs: اتَّخِذُوا (take); وَوَصَّى (instructed); تَقُولُونَ (you say).
Warsh: اتَّخَذُوا (have taken); وَأَوْصَى (enjoined); يَقُولُونَ (they say).
Past vs. present tense warps history. Abraham’s commands mutate.

10-11. Poor Person vs. Poor People; The Messenger (Quran 2:184, 214)

Hafs: مِسْكِينٍ (a poor person); الرَّسُولُ (the messenger).
Warsh: مَسَاكِينَ (poor people); رَسُولُ (messenger, indefinite).
Fasting ransom: one or many? Muhammad definite article or not? Doctrinal dodge.

12-13. Checking vs. Defending; Raise vs. Revive (Quran 2:251, 259)

Hafs: دَفْعُ (checking); نُرْسِلُ (We raise).
Warsh: دِفَاعُ (defending); نُنْشِرُ (We revive).
David’s war: restraint or protection? Bones raised or revived? Resurrection sloppy.

14-17. He Gives vs. We Give; They Desire vs. You Desire (Quran 3:57, 83; 3:81, 83)

Hafs: فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ (He will give); يَبْغُونَ (they desire); أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ (I give you).
Warsh: فَنُوَفِّيهِمْ (We will give); تَبْغُونَ (you desire); أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ (We give you); يُرْجَعُونَ (they returned).
Allah’s persona shifts: I/He/We? Submission universal or personal?

18-20. Hasten vs. And Hasten; Killed vs. Fought; Accumulate vs. They Accumulate (Quran 3:133, 146, 157)

Hafs: وَسَارِعُوا (and hasten); قَاتَلَ (fought); يَجْمَعُونَ (they accumulate).
Warsh: سَارِعُوا (hasten); قُتِلَ (were killed); تَجْمَعُونَ (you accumulate).
Paradise rush command mangled; prophets fought or slaughtered? Martyrs’ rewards personalized.

21-24. He Puts vs. We Put; We Give; Turn Back vs. Revert; Message vs. Messages (Quran 4:14, 152; 5:54; 5:67)

Hafs: يُدْخِلْهُ (He will put); نُدْخِلْهُ (We give); يَرْتَدَّ (revert); رِسَالَتَهُ (His message).
Warsh: نُدْخِلْهُ (We put); نُؤْتِيهِمْ (We give); يَرْتَدِ (turn back); رِسَالَاتِهِ (His messages).
Hellfire assignment: solo or team? Apostasy wording softens; singular revelation becomes plural—exposing polytheistic roots!

25-27. Has Made vs. Makes; Disperse vs. Good Tidings; My Message vs. My Messages (Quran 6:96; 7:57; 7:144)

Hafs: جَعَلَ (has made); نُبَشِّرُ (good tidings); بِرِسَالَتِي (My messages).
Warsh: يَجْعَلُ (makes); نُرْسِلُ (send); بِرِسَالَتِي (My message).
Cosmic creation tense-shift; winds herald or disperse? Moses’ singular/plural commission.

28-33. Led Astray vs. Led with Astray; Magic vs. Magician; Words vs. Word; Gather Them (Quran 9:37; 10:2; 10:33; 10:45)

Hafs: يُضَلُّ (led astray); سَاحِرٌ (magician); كَلِمَتُ (word); يَحْشُرُهُمْ (He gathers).
Warsh: يُضَلُّونَ (led with astray); سِحْرٌ (magic); كَلِمَاتُ (words); نَحْشُرُهُمْ (We gather).
Pagan calendar deceit amplified; Muhammad magician or magic? Judgment singular/plural?

More variants pile on: 34-51 include revelations (We/He), heating fire (they/you), prostration knowledge (you/they conceal), curses (great/multitudinous), hell dialogue (He/We say). Every shift screams human meddling—pronouns flip (9 cases), verbs mutate (15+), nouns differ (king/master, etc.). Warsh adds and in 3:133, changes blind equality memory (40:58). Quran 48:17: He/We punish. 91:15: omits He does not fear consequence.

Theological Bombshells from These Differences

These aren’t dialects—they alter fiqh (law): fasting ransom (one poor or many?), tawhid (Allah’s voice: I/We/He?), prophethood (fought/killed?). Muslims gaslight: Seven ahruf from Muhammad! But no Uthmanic rasm supports all; variants exceed skeleton. Ibn Mas’ud rejected Uthman’s Quran! This poly-Quranism proves Islam’s satanic core: Muhammad’s recitation evolved via tribal tweaks, a power-consolidating fraud rivaling Joseph’s Technicolor coat.

Why Differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf Destroy Islam

Apologists twist: Miracle of mutawatir qira’at! Nonsense—disagreement on basics like Bismillah count (Hafs 113, Warsh 112). If Arabic is Allah’s language, why ambiguous? Bible has manuscripts converging; Quran diverges deliberately, hiding Satan’s fingerprints. Billions deluded, funding mosques while their inerrant book self-destructs.

In conclusion, the glaring differences between Hafs and Warsh Mushaf aren’t footnotes—they’re felonies against truth. This isn’t Allah’s word; it’s a satanic forgery, propping Muhammad’s cult. Wake up: reject the fraud, embrace reason. The Quran crumbles; real faith awaits beyond this desert delusion.

He said, “How long have you remained?” The man said, “I have remained a day or part of a day.” He said, “Rather, you have remained one hundred years.
