Myth vs Fact #90

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	13:41 See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning.
Tafsir	How the Idolators are deceived by their long and luxurious Lives in this World, and the Explanation of the Truth Meaning of Allah blotting out what He wills and confirming what He wills of the Book Punishment is by Allah, and the Messenger’s Job is only to convey the Message The Lessons to be learned from Those Who mocked the Messengers in the Past Virtues of the Qur’an and the Denial of Disbelievers The Recompense of the Righteous and the Unrighteous The Virtues of the Surahs that begin with Ha Mim
Bottom Line:	Allah expands Dar al-Islam by shrinking Dar al-Harb by means of raids across borders, seizing territory. Learn, and know that this fatal fact is confirmed by Islamic law. I quote from Umdat as-Salik Book O, Chapter 24, Section 9, which lists 8 duties of local rulers under the Caliph. -8- and if the area has a border adjacent to enemy lands, an eighth duty arises, namely to undertake jihad against enemies, dividing the spoils of battle among combatants, and setting aside fifth (def: o10.3) for deserving recipients.

Myth vs Fact #88

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	9:122 And it is not (proper) for the believers to go out to fight (Jihâd) all together. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may get instructions in (Islâmic) religion, and that they may warn their people when they return to them, so that they may beware (of evil).
Tafsir	Rewards of Jihad The Story of the Jinns listening to the Qur’an Allah the Exalted here explains His order to Muslims to march forth with the Messenger of Allah for the battle of Tabuk.

Myth vs Fact #87

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	9:120 It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allah’s Messenger (Muhammad SAW when fighting in Allah’s Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allah, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allah wastes not the reward of the Muhsinun
Tafsir	Allah the Exalted here explains His order to Muslims to march forth with the Messenger of Allah for the battle of Tabuk. Rewards of Jihad The Order to speak the Truth
Bottom Line:	This Surah is about the gazwat against Tabuk. Its purpose is to reprimand those who refused to join the expedition.  Tabk was an offensive mission. Note that inflicting injury upon an enemy is a deed of righteousness. You are looking at clear proof of the fact that Islam is aggressive, not peaceful.

Myth vs Fact #86

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	9:111 Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh’s Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur’ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success .

Myth vs Fact #85

Myth	Fact
Islam: Religion of peace.	9:90 And those who made excuses from the bedouins came (to you, O Prophet)asking your permission to exempt them (from the battle), and those who had lied to Allâh and His Messenger sat at home (without asking the permission for it); a painful torment will seize those of them who disbelieve.
Tafsir	After Allah mentioned the sins of the hypocrites, He praised the faithful believers and described their reward in the Hereafter

Tafsir	Hypocrites rejoice because They remained behind from Tabuk!
Bottom Line:	Click the link and read the context, then read the tafsir. It will become clear to you that Moe was a warmonger, not a divine messenger.
