Alhamdulilah ! Israel defeated five invading Arab nations: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon in 1948...do you think Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is on the Israelis side?

Hello...the Quran should be a guidance to mankind ...how did it allow mankind to interpret on their own?
Islam is Tawhid in God is one but when it comes to the Quranic verses...it is not Tawhid meaning the message is not one, there is no unity..plenty of interpretations...why did Allah subject his messages through so many interpretations...
Tawhid should be Allah is one, the message is one....then everyone is clear..only Satan will confuse you with so many interpretations
Astaghfirullah
When Allah says in verse 112:1 that He is one, all Muslims understand it the same.
When Allah says in verse 2:183 that we are to fast in Ramadan, all Muslims understand it the same.
When Allah says in verse 21:35 that we all will taste death, all Muslims understand it the same.
When Allah says in verse 18:4 that the Quran is a warning to those who say Allah has a son, all Muslims understand it the same.
I can go on and on, but I'm sure you're getting the message. So, please keep your disbelief to yourself and don't impose it on us.

If the Christians were to follow the Bible as they should, there would be many parts where most governments would ban the Christians, like the law that says the victim of rape must marry the rapist.
As for Jizya, it is a very just law. Many people in Singapore, regardless of religion, would be happy if our government institutes a similar form of tax on us, where we don't have to serve NS if we pay a special tax.

I understand you don't really believe in the afterlife. If you do, you would worry for your children, and you would want to make sure you have the correct faith for them to follow.

These are simple and clear cụt messages...do you still need an interpretation? You know there are many verses and they can be very complex....but you chose to pick those simple ones to show me ...do you think I'm a 7 years old just like you?

The same argument can be use to rebut you..

I think the main context is the mistranslation of the Quran about Jizya ...it has nothing to do with Singapore
Should Muslims Levy an Extra Tax on Non-Muslims?
Verse 9:29 is mistranslated by almost every translator. Shakir translates the Arabic word jizya as “tax,” Pickthall as “tribute.” Yusuf Ali, somehow does not translate the word at all. He leaves the meaning of the word at the mercy of distortions:

Allah says in the Quran that there are clear-cut verses and there are esoteric verses. Those who want to mislead will choose the esoteric verses and mock us with it.
Allah tells us about you, 1,400+ years ago.

Did the Muslim government failed to institute Jizya? No they didn't.
However you want to perceive the tax or tribute, that's up to you.

How can you judge if I'm misleading you? On what basis? Clearly I am of no fault if I'm properly guided by the commentary of Muhammad...
The Quran comes as a guidance for mankind , encourage me to think and interpret on my own...but curses and condemn mẹ to hell if I get it wrong..
Is Allah just and merciful after all? Pehaps not!

Again, you're using your misunderstanding to judge our religion.
What is unjust, in any judicial system, is taking the life of an innocent man for the crime of others, which is what you believe God did. And also, making the children guilty of the crime their forefathers did, which is what you believe God did.

You misunderstood the Quran and then you say the Quran has errors, and is corrupted.
You don't even know what is corruption in the scriptures.

A corruption in the scripture is when someone added, deleted, or edited the original writings of the author.

No..if you believe your God is the same God as the jews..then He is indeed responsible for the death of the innocent as well...Wallahu a'lam

I believe there is only 1 God. The God that Jesus worships, is the same God I worship.
But I don't believe God commands killing innocent people. You believe that. So don't impose your belief on us.

I misunderstood the Quran?

the verse has been mistranslated, if it is mistranslated then it is the moslem scholars who are misleading the readers!! Should they go to Jahannam as Allah promise?
Should you follow them to Jahannam since you follow their views?

Are you saying it is 2 separate Gods...

I'm saying I don't trust the OT.
Allah says men have tampered the OT, forging verses and making it look like they are from God.
Btw, it's called corruption of the scriptures.
