Is "Allah" truly "Merciful and Forgiving" Let us examine the Qu'ran and see!
Many Muslims say that the Qu'ran describes Allah as "forgiving and merciful"This
is true; it does say this. The Question however is To Whom is Allah merciful and
forgiving? The Qu'ran answers this question for us. Let's take a look at one
passage that describes Allah as "forgiving and merciful,"
Surah 9:27 declares: "then will Allah after this turn (mercifully) to whom He
pleases, and Allah is "Forgiving, Merciful."
This verse is innocent enough at least, on the surface. But when we examine the
entire passage to determine the correct context, a different picture emerges.
Here's the passage from Surah 9 in the Qu'ran.
Then will Allah after this turn (mercifully) to whom He pleases, and Allah is
forgiving and merciful. Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the
ladder day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor
follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until
they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a stste of
subjection. And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say:
The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouth; they
imitate the saying of those who disbelieve before; may Allah destroy them; how
they are turned away! They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for
lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined
that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory
be what they set up (with Him). They desire to put out the light of Allah with
their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light. though the
unbelievers are averse. He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the
religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though
the polytheists may be averse. O you who believe! Most surely many of the
doctors of law and the monks eat away the property of men falsely, and turn
(them) from Allah's way; and (as for) those who hoard up gold and silver and do
not spend it in Allah's way, announce to them a painful chastisement. On the
day, when it shall be heated in the fire of hell, then their foreheads and their
sides and their backs shall be branded with it; this is what you hoarded up for
yourselves, therefore taste what you hoarded (Surah 9:29-35, from The Holy
Qu'ran.
The passage in question makes it clear that there is little in the way of
forgiveness and mercy for those who do not pay tribute and submit to Islamic
rule. It says that Muslims should continue fighting until all non-Muslims are
"in a state of subjection" and pay taxes to acknowledge the "superiority" of
Islam...
John 5:25-30, Christ Christ said. ""Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come
into judgment, but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to
you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the
Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself,
so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority
to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this;
for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those
who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can of Myself do
nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek
My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. (The Holy Bible, New King
James version)
WE can plainly see that the Qu'ran is not the inspired written word of Almighty
God. Jesus says, he who hears HIS WORD and BELIEVES in Almighty God who sent Him
has everlasting life and shall NOT come into Judgment, but has passed from death
into life. Those who put their faith in the Qu'ran still abide in death.
Jesus is the Messiah! The King of kings and the Lord of lords! Come quickly
Jesus!
