JEWS & CHRISTIANS ARE NOT INFIDELS ACCORDING TO THE KORAN
Misleading propaganda by terrorist organisations categorically disproved
In order to incite Muslims and draw them towards their twisted agenda , terrorists use propaganda that Christians and Jews are infidels . They try to justify the killing of non- Muslims by citing the Koran .
In the Koran , God says to Prophet Mohammad , ‘ Say , “ O ’ infidels , I do not worship the one that you worship .”’ [ KORAN 109:1-6 ]
This is addressed to the infidels . We do not have to go any further because Muslims believe that Lord Jesus and Prophet Abraham were sent by God . People who follow Lord Jesus and Prophet Abraham worship the same God as the Muslims . Therefore , according to this verse , Prophet Mohammad is not addressing the Jews or the Christians as infidels . He is addressing people who worship something other than God . According to all Abrahamic faiths , there is only one God and one creator of this world .
In regards to this verse , some Muslims say , ‘ In that aspect , the Christians and Jews are not infidels ; but when they did not accept Prophet Mohammad , they became infidels . If they had accepted him , they would have become Muslims .’
We ask them , ‘ How do you know the Christians and Jews didn ’ t accept Prophet Mohammad ?’ You do not have to adopt the religion of a prophet in order to accept him as a prophet . According to the Islamic faith , Muslims must believe in Lord Jesus and Prophet Abraham and that they are Messengers sent forth by God . If the Jews and Christians are infidels for not converting to Islam , by that token , Muslims should first become Christians and then Jews if they truly believe in Lord Jesus and Prophet Abraham .
The true definition of an infidel is one who rejects God and does not believe in the Day of Judgement . If you believe in God and in the Day of Judgement , you are not an infidel , no matter what religion you practise .
Such misleading , fabricated interpretations of holy scriptures have destroyed the faiths of many , bred intolerance and have created divisions in humanity . Terrorist organisations have used these fabricated interpretations to their advantage , in order to recruit and fuel their hatred and intolerance towards others .
On the other hand , the unifying teachings of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi are like a breath of fresh air . By uniting the hearts and restoring the faith of human beings in God and in each other , his teachings are eradicating intolerance and hatred .
