Ini gue kutip arsip diskusi ttg bantahan islam yg memperbolehkan membunuh idol worshipers. Jangan ambil satu ayat saja untuk memahami tentang prinsip islam dalam menggauli non-muslim, tapi ambil serangkaian dari yang berhubungan tentang peristiwa tersebut : Surah 9 VERSE 1 "Freedom from obligation (or ultimatum) is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to the idol worshipers with whom you have entered into a treaty with." (Inilah pernyataan) pemutusan perhubungan daripada Allah dan Rasul-Nya (yang dihadapkan) kepada orang-orang musyrikin yang kamu (kaum muslimin) telah mengadakan perjanjian (dengan mereka). VERSE 2 "Therefore, roam the earth freely for four months, and know that you cannot escape from GOD, and that GOD humiliates the disbelievers." Maka berjalanlah kamu (kaum musyrikin) di muka bumi selama empat bulan dan ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya kamu tidak akan dapat melemahkan Allah, dan sesungguhnya Allah menghinakan orang-orang kafir. VERSE 3 "A proclamation is herein issued from GOD and His messenger to all the people on the great day of pilgrimage, that GOD has disowned the idol worshipers, and so did His messenger. Thus, if you repent, it would be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you can never escape from GOD. Promise those who disbelieve a painful retribution." Dan (inilah) suatu permakluman dari Allah dan Rasul-Nya kepada umat manusia pada hari haji akbar, bahwa sesungguhnya Allah dan Rasul-Nya berlepas diri dari orang-orang musyrikin. Kemudian jika kamu (kaum musyrikin) bertaubat, maka bertaubat itu lebih baik bagimu; dan jika kamu berpaling, maka ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya kamu tidak dapat melemahkan Allah. Dan beritakanlah kepada orang-orang kafir (bahwa mereka akan mendapat) siksa yang pedih. VERSE 4 "If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfil your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous." kecuali orang-orang musyrikin yang kamu telah mengadakan perjanjian (dengan mereka) dan mereka tidak mengurangi sesuatupun (dari isi perjanjian) mu dan tidak (pula) mereka membantu seseorang yang memusuhi kamu, maka terhadap mereka itu penuhilah janjinya sampai batas waktunya. Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang bertakwa. VERSE 5 "Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful." Apabila sudah habis bulan-bulan Haram itu, maka bunuhlah orang-orang musyrikin itu di mana saja kamu jumpai mereka, dan tangkaplah mereka. Kepunglah mereka dan intailah di tempat pengintaian. Jika mereka bertaubat dan mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat, maka berilah kebebasan kepada mereka untuk berjalan. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang. Setelah kita baca kelima ayat itu bersama sama , hal- hal berikut, menjadi jelas : 1- Verse 5 speaks of the idol worshippers who are AT WAR with the believers and not any idol worshippers. The words : "the idol worshipers with whom you have entered into a treaty with" in verse 1 confirms that matter since no treaty is entered into unless there is a war situation .. 2- In verse 2 God address's the idol worshippers and tells them that they may roam freely during the four sacred months (since the believers are prohibited from fighting in these months), but that at the end they will not escape from God. 3- In verse 4 it is once again confirmed that the believers are not to attack the idol worshippers who have signed a treaty with them and who do not violate it. 4- Following that, in verse 5 God says that when the sacred months have passed the believers are to fight the idol worshippers. 5- The content of verse 4 (that believers are not to fight idol worshippers who uphold the terms of a treaty) confirms the real meaning of verse 5; the believers are commanded to fight the idol worshippers (outside the sacred months) only at times of war, or when the idol worshippers violate the terms of a treaty (also in a state of war). Arti ini lebih dijelaskan lagi di dalam ayat 7 : "Exempted are those who have signed a peace treaty with you at the Sacred Masjid. If they honour and uphold such a treaty, you shall uphold it as well. GOD loves the righteous." Bagaimana bisa ada perjanjian (aman) dari sisi Allah dan Rasul-Nya dengan orang-orang musyrikin, kecuali dengan orang-orang yang kamu telah mengadakan perjanjian (dengan mereka) di dekat Masjidilharam? maka selama mereka berlaku lurus terhadapmu, hendaklah kamu berlaku lurus (pula) terhadap mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang bertakwa. In spite of all these indications in the first seven verses of Sura 9 that assert that the fighting may only be directed to the idol worshippers in a state of war, and with those who violate the terms of a peace treaty, yet the abrogation inventors have ignored all the mention of the word 'treaty' in these verses and its profound significance. They made it lawful for any Muslim to kill the idol worshippers at any time (war or no war) as long as it is outside the sacred months!! No wonder the enemies of the Quran call Islam the religion of the sword !!! 6- Furthermore, and as will be detailed later, we are told all throughout the Quran that God prohibits the believers from fighting those who offer peace, such as : " .......... IF THEY LEAVE YOU ALONE, REFRAIN FROM FIGHTING YOU, AND OFFER YOU PEACE, THEN GOD GIVES YOU NO EXCUSE TO FIGHT THEM." 4:90 kecuali orang-orang yang meminta perlindungan kepada sesuatu kaum, yang antara kamu dan kaum itu telah ada perjanjian (damai) atau orang-orang yang datang kepada kamu sedang hati mereka merasa keberatan untuk memerangi kamu dan memerangi kaumnya. Kalau Allah menghendaki, tentu Dia memberi kekuasaan kepada mereka terhadap kamu, lalu pastilah mereka memerangimu. Tetapi jika mereka membiarkan kamu, dan tidak memerangi kamu serta mengemukakan perdamaian kepadamu maka Allah TIDAK MEMBERI JALAN BAGIMU (untuk menawan dan membunuh) mereka. 4 : 90 But the content of this verse, along with 113 other verses was completely obliterated by the corrupt interpreters as will be detailed later.
To analyse the effect of this corrupt interpretation on obliterating the glorious meaning of Quranic revelations found in 114 Quranic verses, we can examine a sample of these verses and realise the extent of this crime. The following examples have been classified into five groups: 1- Revelations that confirm that there is no compulsion in religion. The messenger (and all believers) are to report and warn with the Quran, but never to forcefully enforce Submission. 2- Revelations that prohibit fighting those who offer peace. 3- Revelations that advocate the call to Islam through sound advice, good reasoning and with the wisdom of the Quran, and not through chopping heads off ! 4- Revelations that advocate Mercy and Forgiveness towards the disbelievers and hypocrites. 5- Revelations that assert that the punishment for idol worshippers and atheists lies with God and not with man. Satu Revelations that confirm that there is no compulsion in religion. The messenger (and all believers) are to report and warn with the Quran, but never to forcefully enforce Submission: 1- "If they argue with you, then say, "I have simply submitted myself to God; I and those who follow me. "You shall proclaim to those who received the scripture, as well as those who did not, "Would you submit?" If they submit, then they have been guided, BUT IF THEY TURN AWAY, YOUR SOLE MISSION IS TO DELIVER THIS MESSAGE. God is Seer of all people." 3:20 Kemudian jika mereka mendebat kamu (tentang kebenaran Islam), maka katakanlah: "Aku menyerahkan diriku kepada Allah dan (demikian pula) orang-orang yang mengikutiku". Dan katakanlah kepada orang-orang yang telah diberi Al Kitab dan kepada orang-orang yang ummi: "Apakah kamu (mau) masuk Islam?" Jika mereka masuk Islam, sesungguhnya mereka telah mendapat petunjuk, dan jika mereka berpaling, maka kewajiban kamu hanyalah menyampaikan (ayat-ayat Allah). Dan Allah Maha Melihat akan hamba-hamba-Nya. Dalam hal ini kita membaca pesan yang jelas dalam ayat tersebut bahwa tugas seorang Nabi hanya menyampaikan perintah dari Allah, mengajak orang orang untuk masuk Islam. Jika mereka masuk Islam, maka mereka telah diberi petunjuk, jika menolak, maka Nabi itu akan meninggalkan mereka. But no! According to the corrupt ignorant scholars, the verse of the sword abrogates these Quranic words and dictates that if they reject the message their heads should be struck off !!! What ignorance ! 2- Pesan ini jelas seperti yang dikatakan ayat ayat yang lain : "The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver the message, and GOD knows everything you declare and everything you conceal." 5:99 Kewajiban Rasul tidak lain hanyalah menyampaikan, dan Allah mengetahui apa yang kamu lahirkan dan apa yang kamu sembunyikan. 5:99 3- "THERE SHALL BE NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient." 2:256 TIDAK ADA PAKSAAN UNTUK ( MEMASUKI ) AGAMA ( ISLAM ), sesungguhnya telah jelas jalan yang benar daripada jalan yang sesat. Karena itu barangsiapa yang ingkar kepada Thaghut dan beriman kepada Allah, maka sesungguhnya ia telah berpegang kepada buhul tali yang amat kuat yang tidak akan putus. Dan Allah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui. 2 : 256 According to the notorious ideology of the sword, the corrupt interpreters granted the Muslims the right to compel the infidels by means of the sword to accept Islam! This is yet a further crime against the wisdom and truth of the Quran, as presented in this verse. 4- "Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, there is no god except He, and DISREGARD THE IDOL WORSHIPERS. Had GOD willed, they would not have worshiped idols. WE DID NOT APPOINT YOU AS THEIR GUARDIAN, NOR ARE YOU THEIR ADVOCATE." 6:106-107 Ikutilah apa yang telah diwahyukan kepadamu dari Tuhanmu; tidak ada Tuhan selain Dia; dan berpalinglah dari orang-orang musyrik. 6:106 Dan kalau Allah menghendaki, niscaya mereka tidak mempersekutukan (Nya). Dan Kami tidak menjadikan kamu pemelihara bagi mereka; dan kamu sekali-kali bukanlah pemelihara bagi mereka. 6 : 107 Once again the command here is clear from God to the prophet, and that is to disregard the idol worshipers. God asserts that the prophet is only to report and warn. The prophet is not appointed their guardian nor advocate. 5- The same message is given to disregard even those who distort God's image or beautiful attributes: "To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and DISREGARD THOSE WHO DISTORT HIS NAMES. They will be requited for their sins." 7:18O Hanya milik Allah asma-ul husna, maka bermohonlah kepada-Nya dengan menyebut asmaa-ul husna itu dan tinggalkanlah orang-orang yang menyimpang dari kebenaran dalam (menyebut) nama-nama-Nya. Nanti mereka akan mendapat balasan terhadap apa yang telah mereka kerjakan. 7 : 180 It is important here to note that God asserts that the punishment for those who distort God's image lies with God. They are not to be punished by people. 6- "O people, the truth has come to you herein from your Lord. Whoever is guided is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray, goes astray to his own detriment. I AM NOT A GUARDIAN OVER YOU." 10:108 Katakanlah: "Hai manusia, sesungguhnya telah datang kepadamu kebenaran (Al Qur'an) dari Tuhanmu, sebab itu barangsiapa yang mendapat petunjuk maka sesungguhnya (petunjuk itu) untuk kebaikan dirinya sendiri. Dan barangsiapa yang sesat, maka sesungguhnya kesesatannya itu mencelakakan dirinya sendiri. Dan aku bukanlah seorang penjaga terhadap dirimu". 10:108 7- "Therefore, carry out the orders given to you, and DISREGARD THE IDOL WORSHIPPERS." 15:94 Maka sampaikanlah olehmu secara terang-terangan segala apa yang diperintahkan (kepadamu) dan berpalinglah dari orang-orang yang musyrik. 15 : 94 Pesan ini jelas banget .bukan untuk menggal kepala ghairu islam, tapi untuk berpaling dari mereka dan meninggalkan mereka sendirian. 8- "Say, "Obey GOD, and obey the messenger." If they refuse, then he is responsible for his obligations, and you are responsible for your obligations. If you obey him, you will be guided. THE SOLE DUTY OF THE MESSENGER IS TO DELIVER (THE MESSAGE)." 24:54 Katakanlah: "Ta`atlah kepada Allah dan ta`atlah kepada rasul; dan jika kamu berpaling maka sesungguhnya kewajiban rasul itu adalah apa yang dibebankan kepadanya, dan kewajiban kamu sekalian adalah semata-mata apa yang dibebankan kepadamu. Dan jika kamu ta`at kepadanya, niscaya kamu mendapat petunjuk. Dan tidak lain kewajiban rasul itu melainkan menyampaikan (amanat Allah) dengan terang." 24:54 9- "Say, "GOD is the only One I worship, devoting my religion absolutely to Him alone. "THEREFORE, GO ON AND WORSHIP WHATEVER YOU WISH BESIDES HIM (GOD)." Say, "The real losers are those who LOSE THEIR SOULS, and their families, ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION." Most certainly, this is the real loss." 39:14-15 Katakanlah: "Hanya Allah saja Yang aku sembah dengan memurnikan ketaatan kepada-Nya dalam (menjalankan) agamaku". Maka sembahlah olehmu (hai orang-orang musyrik) apa yang kamu kehendaki selain Dia. Katakanlah: "Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang rugi ialah orang-orang yang merugikan diri mereka sendiri dan keluarganya pada hari kiamat". Ingatlah yang demikian itu adalah kerugian yang nyata.39:14-15 Sekali lagi perintah Allah itu adalah membiarkan para ghairu islam menyembah apa yang mereka inginkan, dan hukumannya bukanlah di tangan orang orang Muslim, tapi di tangan Allah pada hari kiamat. Sekali lagi, penyelewengan arti dari ayat ayat Quran sangat kontras dengan kalimat kamu yang katanya buat menggal kepala kamu eh .orang orang musyrik. 10- "YOU HAVE YOUR RELIGION, AND I HAVE MINE." 109:6 This verse outlines the words that the messenger (and all believers) must direct at the disbelievers who reject Islam. In other words, the believers are simply to say to the disbelievers 'you go on and follow what religion you wish to follow, and I will follow my religion'. Once again the confirmation that there is no compulsion in religion is well pronounced. 11- "Had your Lord willed, all the people on earth would have believed. DO YOU WANT TO FORCE THE PEOPLE TO BECOME BELIEVERS?" 10:99 Dan jikalau Tuhanmu menghendaki, tentulah beriman semua orang yang di muka bumi seluruhnya. Maka apakah kamu (hendak) memaksa manusia supaya mereka menjadi orang-orang yang beriman semuanya? 10:99 The question in this verse is an academic one, in other words the command is not to try to force anyone into Islam. The test that we have to undergo on earth demands that we denounce idolatry on our own, without being forced by others. If we are forced into becoming Muslims, there would be no credit due ....... it has to be our own choice. 12- "Proclaim: "This is the truth from your Lord," then WHOEVER WILLS LET HIM BELIEVE, AND WHOEVER WILLS LET HIM DISBELIEVE." . 18:29 Dan katakanlah: "Kebenaran itu datangnya dari Tuhanmu; maka barangsiapa yang ingin (beriman) hendaklah ia beriman, dan barangsiapa yang ingin (kafir) biarlah ia kafir". Sesungguhnya Kami telah sediakan bagi orang-orang zalim itu neraka, yang gejolaknya mengepung mereka. Dan jika mereka meminta minum, niscaya mereka akan diberi minum dengan air seperti besi yang mendidih yang menghanguskan muka. Itulah minuman yang paling buruk dan tempat istirahat yang paling jelek. 18:29 Once again, the message of 'no compulsion in religion' is very clear within these Quranic words. 13- "You shall remind, for your mission is to deliver this reminder. YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER THEM." 88:21-22 Maka berilah peringatan, karena sesungguhnya kamu hanyalah orang yang memberi peringatan. KAMU BUKANLAH ORANG YANG BERKUASA ATAS MEREKA. 88:21-22 The message of no compulsion in religion is once again emphasised in these Quranic words. Dua Revelations that prohibit fighting those who offer peace: 1- "IF THEY RESORT TO PEACE, SO SHALL YOU, and put your trust in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient." 8:61 Dan jika mereka condong kepada perdamaian, maka condonglah kepadanya dan bertawakkallah kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Dialah Yang Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui. 8:61 The prohibition to fight those who offer peace is clear. 2- "Exempted are those who join people with whom you have signed a peace treaty, and those who come to you wishing not to fight you, nor fight their relatives. Had GOD willed, He could have permitted them to fight against you. Therefore, IF THEY LEAVE YOU ALONE, REFRAIN FROM FIGHTING YOU, AND OFFER YOU PEACE, THEN GOD GIVES YOU NO EXCUSE TO FIGHT THEM." 4:90 kecuali orang-orang yang meminta perlindungan kepada sesuatu kaum, yang antara kamu dan kaum itu telah ada perjanjian (damai) atau orang-orang yang datang kepada kamu sedang hati mereka merasa keberatan untuk memerangi kamu dan memerangi kaumnya. Kalau Allah menghendaki, tentu Dia memberi kekuasaan kepada mereka terhadap kamu, lalu pastilah mereka memerangimu. Tetapi jika mereka membiarkan kamu, dan tidak memerangi kamu serta mengemukakan perdamaian kepadamu maka Allah tidak memberi jalan bagimu (untuk menawan dan membunuh) mereka. 4:90 The command here is loud and clear, the believers have no right to fight those who offer them peace, in other words there is no excuse to find ANYBODY who is not an aggressor, whatever their conviction may be. 3- "How can the idol worshipers demand any pledge from GOD and from His messenger? "Exempted are those who have signed a peace treaty with you at the Sacred Masjid. If they honour and uphold such a treaty, you shall uphold it as well. GOD loves the righteous." 9:7 Bagaimana bisa ada perjanjian (aman) dari sisi Allah dan Rasul-Nya dengan orang-orang musyrikin, kecuali dengan orang-orang yang kamu telah mengadakan perjanjian (dengan mereka) di dekat Masjidilharam? maka selama mereka berlaku lurus terhadapmu, hendaklah kamu berlaku lurus (pula) terhadap mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang bertakwa. 9:7 Once again, the command is clear that the believers may not fight those who uphold a treaty of peace. Tiga. 1- "God is fully aware of their innermost intentions. YOU SHALL NOT FORCEFULLY CONFRONT THEM, instead enlighten them, and give them good advice that may save their souls." 4:63 Mereka itu adalah orang-orang yang Allah mengetahui apa yang di dalam hati mereka. Karena itu berpalinglah kamu dari mereka, dan berilah mereka pelajaran, dan katakanlah kepada mereka perkataan yang berbekas pada jiwa mereka. 4:63 Sadly, the corrupt interpreters obliterated the wisdom in these verses by claiming that the words: "YOU SHALL NOT FORCEFULLY CONFRONT THEM, instead give them good advice that may save their souls" have been abrogated by the verse of the sword. In other words, they say (about the disbelievers) that if they do not believe, do not enlighten them, and do not give them sound advice but instead kill them all ! Naif banget, khan ? 2- "You shall invite to the path of your Lord with WISDOM AND SOUND ADVICE, AND DEBATE WITH THEM EMPLOYING THE BEST POSSIBLE REASONING. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who are the guided ones." 16:125 Serulah (manusia) kepada jalan Tuhanmu dengan hikmah dan pelajaran yang baik dan bantahlah mereka dengan cara yang baik. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Dialah yang lebih mengetahui tentang siapa yang tersesat dari jalan-Nya dan Dialah yang lebih mengetahui orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk. 16:125 The wisdom of these Quranic verse is a far cry from the corrupt advocate of chopping the heads of the infidels off ! 3- "The worshipers of the Most Gracious are those who tread the earth gently, and when the ignorant speak to them, THEY ONLY UTTER 'SALAAM' (peace)." 25:63 Dan hamba-hamba Tuhan Yang Maha Penyayang itu (ialah) orang-orang yang berjalan di atas bumi dengan rendah hati dan apabila orang-orang jahil menyapa mereka, mereka mengucapkan kata-kata yang baik. 25:63 The Quran advocates the most civilized manner to address all people, even the ignorant, and that is with the word Peace. 4- "(Say) 'I am simply commanded to worship the Lord of this town-He has made it a safe sanctuary-and He possesses all things. I am commanded to be a submitter. And to RECITE THE QURAN. Whoever is guided is guided for his own good, and IF THEY GO ASTRAY, THEN SAY, "I AM SIMPLY A WARNER." 27:91-92 Aku hanya diperintahkan untuk menyembah Tuhan negeri ini Yang telah menjadikannya suci dan kepunyaan-Nya-lah segala sesuatu, dan aku diperintahkan supaya aku termasuk orang-orang yang berserah diri. 27:91 Dan supaya aku membacakan Al Qur'an (kepada manusia). Maka barangsiapa yang mendapat petunjuk maka sesungguhnya ia hanyalah mendapat petunjuk untuk (kebaikan) dirinya, dan barangsiapa yang sesat maka katakanlah: "Sesungguhnya aku (ini) tidak lain hanyalah salah seorang pemberi peringatan". 27:92 Here the command is to guide with the wisdom of the Quran, and that the ones who go astray after that are to be left alone. 5- "Not equal is the good response and the bad response. YOU SHALL RESORT TO THE BEST POSSIBLE RESPONSE. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend." 41:34 Dan tidaklah sama kebaikan dan kejahatan. Tolaklah (kejahatan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik, maka tiba-tiba orang yang antaramu dan antara dia ada permusuhan seolah-olah telah menjadi teman yang sangat setia. 41:34 Once again, the believers are commanded here to use the best possible manner and attitude in preaching the way of God. Empat Revelations that advocate Mercy and Forgiveness towards the disbelievers and hypocrites. 1- "It was a consequence of their violating the covenant that we condemned them, and we caused their hearts to become hardened. Consequently, they took the words out of context, and disregarded some of the commandments given to them. You will continue to witness betrayal from them, excepting a few of them. YOU SHALL PARDON THEM, AND DISREGARD THEM. GOD loves those who are benevolent." 5:13 (Tetapi) karena mereka melanggar janjinya, Kami kutuk mereka, dan Kami jadikan hati mereka keras membatu. Mereka suka merobah perkataan (Allah) dari tempat-tempatnya, dan mereka (sengaja) melupakan sebagian dari apa yang mereka telah diperingatkan dengannya, dan kamu (Muhammad) senantiasa akan melihat kekhianatan dari mereka kecuali sedikit di antara mereka (yang tidak berkhianat), maka maafkanlah mereka dan biarkanlah mereka, sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat baik. 5:13 The subject here is the Jews who violated God's commandments (see verse 12). Dan sesungguhnya Allah telah mengambil perjanjian (dari) Bani Israil dan telah Kami angkat di antara mereka 12 orang pemimpin dan Allah berfirman: "Sesungguhnya Aku beserta kamu, sesungguhnya jika kamu mendirikan shalat dan menunaikan zakat serta beriman kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan kamu pinjamkan kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik sesungguhnya Aku akan menghapus dosa-dosamu. Dan sesungguhnya kamu akan Kumasukkan ke dalam surga yang mengalir di dalamnya sungai-sungai. Maka barangsiapa yang kafir di antaramu sesudah itu, sesungguhnya ia telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus". 5:12 Despite of their gross sin in violating the commandments and also corrupting the meaning of the Scripture, God still commands the prophet (and all believers) to pardon them. Very different from the call to chop the heads of the disbelievers off ! 2- "YOU SHALL RESORT TO PARDON, ADVOCATE TOLERANCE, AND DISREGARD THE IGNORANT." 7:199 Jadilah engkau pema`af dan suruhlah orang mengerjakan yang ma`ruf, serta berpalinglah daripada orang-orang yang bodoh. 7:199 Once again, the command here is to pardon, tolerate, and disregard all the ignorant idol worshipers, and never to forcefully impose submission on them. 3- "We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose. The end of the world will come, so SHOW THEM (the disbelievers) SINCERE FORGIVENESS" 15:85 Dan tidaklah Kami ciptakan langit dan bumi dan apa yang ada di antara keduanya, melainkan dengan benar. Dan sesungguhnya saat (kiamat) itu pasti akan datang, maka maafkanlah (mereka) dengan cara yang baik. 15:85 This is the heart of the Quran that the enemies of Islam tried to corrupt. In place of forgiveness, pardon and tolerance, they have presented a false image of the Quran that is based on savagery, aggression and intolerance ! 4- "You shall DISREGARD THEM AND SAY, "PEACE;" they will surely find out." 43:89 Maka berpalinglah (hai Muhammad) dari mereka dan katakanlah: "Salam (selamat tinggal)." Kelak mereka akan mengetahui (nasib mereka yang buruk). 43:89 "PEACE" is the attitude that the Quran advocates towards the disbelievers. Sadly this message of peace has been obliterated by the ignorant interpreters who abused the Quran. 5- "Tell those who believe to FORGIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT LONG FOR THE DAYS OF (meeting) GOD. He will fully pay everyone for whatever they have earned." 45:14 Katakanlah kepada orang-orang yang beriman hendaklah mereka memaafkan orang-orang yang tiada takut akan hari-hari Allah karena Dia akan membalas sesuatu kaum terhadap apa yang telah mereka kerjakan. 45:14 The call for forgiveness even towards the enemies of God is well pronounced throughout the Quran. Sadly the ignorant have attempted to tarnish this image. Lima Revelations that assert that the punishment for idol worshippers and atheists lies with God and not with man. 1- "Whether we show you what we promise them, or terminate your life before that, your sole mission is to deliver (the message). IT IS US WHO WILL CALL THEM TO ACCOUNT." 13:40 Dan jika Kami perlihatkan kepadamu sebahagian (siksa) yang Kami ancamkan kepada mereka atau Kami wafatkan kamu (hal itu tidak penting bagimu) karena sesungguhnya tugasmu hanya menyampaikan saja, sedang Kami-lah yang menghisab amalan mereka. 13:40 The message here is clear, the judgment and punishment for idolatry lies with God and not with man. 2- "To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and disregard those who distort His names. THEY WILL BE REQUITED (BY GOD) FOR THEIR SINS." 7:18O Once again, it is important here to note that God asserts that the punishment for those who distort God's image lies with God. They are not to be punished by people. 3- "Do not be impatient; WE ARE PREPARING FOR THEM (the idol worshippers) SOME PREPARATION (retribution)." 19:84 maka janganlah kamu tergesa-gesa memintakan siksa terhadap mereka, karena sesungguhnya Kami hanya menghitung datangnya (hari siksaan) untuk mereka dengan perhitungan yang teliti.19:84 This verse confirms that the punishment for the idol worshippers is not with the prophet or any believer, but it is a punishment prepared by God for them in the hereafter. This is also confirmed in the following verse : "THEREFORE, BE PATIENT IN THE FACE OF THEIR UTTERANCES, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise and before sunset. And during the night glorify Him, as well as at both ends of the day, that you may be happy." 20:130 Maka sabarlah kamu atas apa yang mereka katakan, dan bertasbihlah dengan memuji Tuhanmu, sebelum terbit matahari dan sebelum terbenamnya dan bertasbih pulalah pada waktu-waktu di malam hari dan pada waktu-waktu di siang hari, supaya kamu merasa senang.20:130 4- "Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, "We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!" GOD WILL JUDGE THEM REGARDING THEIR DISPUTES. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers." 39:3 Ingatlah, hanya kepunyaan Allah-lah agama yang bersih (dari syirik). Dan orang-orang yang mengambil pelindung selain Allah (berkata): "Kami tidak menyembah mereka melainkan supaya mereka mendekatkan kami kepada Allah dengan sedekat-dekatnya". Sesungguhnya Allah akan memutuskan di antara mereka tentang apa yang mereka berselisih padanya. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menunjuki orang-orang yang pendusta dan sangat ingkar. 39:3 Once again we are told here that it is GOD who will judge the idol worshippers. 5- "Proclaim: "This is the truth from your Lord," then whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve. WE HAVE PREPARED FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS A FIRE that will completely surround them ." 18:29 Dan katakanlah: "Kebenaran itu datangnya dari Tuhanmu; maka barangsiapa yang ingin (beriman) hendaklah ia beriman, dan barangsiapa yang ingin (kafir) biarlah ia kafir". Sesungguhnya Kami telah sediakan bagi orang-orang zalim itu neraka, yang gejolaknya mengepung mereka. Dan jika mereka meminta minum, niscaya mereka akan diberi minum dengan air seperti besi yang mendidih yang menghanguskan muka. Itulah minuman yang paling buruk dan tempat istirahat yang paling jelek. 18:29 The command here is to only proclaim and warn then leave each to his/her own choice. Once again, the words "WE HAVE PREPARED FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS A FIRE" confirm that the punishment for idolatry is with God alone. __________________________________ Yahoo!
