What does the Quran say about non-Muslims?
With regard to Muslims’ behaviors towards non-Muslims, there are 2 Verses which act as a principle so that other Verses should be understood and interpreted accordingly.Allah the Almighty says in Chapter 60 (al-Mumtahanah), Verses 8–9:لا يَنْهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذينَ لَمْ يُقاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَ تُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطينَAllah does not forbid you in regard to those who did not make war against you on account of religion and did not expel you from your homes, that you deal with them with kindness and justice. Indeed Allah loves the just.(8)إِنَّما يَنْهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذينَ قاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ وَ ظاهَرُوا عَلى إِخْراجِكُمْ أَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْ وَ ��َنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَAllah forbids you only in regard to those who made war against you on account of religion and expelled you from your homes and supported [others] in your expulsion, that you make friends with them, and whoever makes friends with them it is they who are the wrongdoers.(9)
Muslims: What does the Quran teach?
‘Take to forgiveness and enjoin good and turn aside from the ignorant.’(Quran 7:199) The Five Pillars These are the basic religious obligations laid down for all Muslims: 1 The affirmation of faith or the Shahadah — literally ‘bearing witness’ — in the creed of Islam: ‘There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’ 2 Performing prayers, according to prescribed fashion, five times daily. 3 Fasting during the month of Ramadan — that is, refraining from eating, drinking, smoking or having sex during the hours from sunrise to sunset. The conclusion of the month of Ramadan marks one of the main festivals in Islamic calendar, Eid al Fitr. 4 Paying the zakat, or the ‘poor due’, once a year. This is not charity but the right of the poor and is fixed at the minimum of 2.5 per cent of one’s earnings. 5 Going for hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, once in a lifetime if one is physically and financially able. Each year, during the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, over two million Muslims come together in the birthplace of Islam to perform the hajj.
Does Islam teach help non Muslim if Muslim are called for help?
Chapter 2 verse 177 of Qura’n the Clear book goes as below:Righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. (177)In a way the above guideline defines the true human being focusing to help other humans irrespective of what religion the seekers of help belong to.I am aware of organisations run by Muslims that go to help needy purely on the basis of their needs like slum areas etc. A true practising Muslim is recognised in Islam when he helps any being that has been created by Allah the SuperCreator. The only exception is when an apparent seeker of help is not genuine but a pretender aiming at causing harm to believers. Hence verification of a seekers circumstances is permitted.There are many more Ayahs in the Book that repeatedly remind Muslims to care for humanity irrespective of the seekers religion and not just Muslims.Hope it helps the understanding on the topic raised.
Does it say in the holy Quran that non-believers in Islam should be beheaded?
Quran 47:4 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 Hell-fire) 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,OK, so the context of this verse is warfare, but Isn’t it unusual that a holy book would need to discuss warfare on behalf of God/Allah?Quran 8:12 Lo! Thy Sustainer inspired the angels [to convey this His message to the believers]: "I am with you!" [And He commanded the angels:] "And give firmness unto those who have attained to faith [with these words from Me]: 'I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who are bent on denying the truth; strike, then, their necks, [O believers,] and strike off every one of their finger-tips!'"Quran 5:33 The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution (done by beheading at the time) or crucifixion of the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.You can argue about whether these passages apply today or if they are being taken out of context, but these fine points are lost on ISIS, which seeks to practice Islam as it was in the 8th century.
Koran is nothing but a load of crap that teaches muslims to kill, rape and loot. hands up those who agree?
