There are conflicting verses within the Koran and Islamic scholars explain this by saying the verses that were written last supersede or abrogate the earlier version. Therefore, it is necessary to know the chronological order of the chapters. For example, Chapter/sura 96 was written first. Therefore if there are any verses that contradict what is written in chapter/sura 96, that verse abrogates what is written in Surah 96. The numbers below show the chronological order for each Surah . Notice that Surah 9 was the next to the last Surah to be written. Therefore, it supersedes everything before it. Surah 9 is one of the most violent Surahs in the Koran.<br />96, 74, 111,106, 108, 104, 107, 102, 105, 92, 90, 94, 93, 97, 86, 91, 80, 68, 87, 95, 103, 85, '73, 101, 99, 82, 81, 53, 84,100, 79, 77, 78, 88, 89, 75, 83, 69, 51, 52, 56, 55, 112, 109, ll3, 114, 1, 54, 37, 71, 76, 44, 50, 20, 26, 15, 19, 38, 36, 43, 72, 67, 23, 21, 25, 17, 27, 18, 32, 41 45, 16, 30, 11, 14,12, 40, 28, 39, 29, 31, 42, 10, 34, 35, 7, 46, 6, 13, 2, 98, 64, 62, 8, 47, 3, 61, 57, 4, 65, 59, 33, 63, 24, 58, 22, 48, 66, 60,110, 9, and 5.<br />Sura 5 can to all intents and purposes be ignored<br /><br />If in the koran any verses are thought to be peaceful ....sura 9 knocks them for a six<br /><br />9:5 Slay the idolaters wherever you find them.<br />9:6 Those who submit and convert to Islam will be treated well. (Those who don't submit will be killed. See previous verse.)<br />9:7-9 Don't make treaties with non-Muslims. They are all evildoers and should not be trusted.<br />9:11 Treat converts to Islam well, but kill those who refuse to convert (see 9:5).<br />9:12-14 Fight the disbelievers! Allah is on your side; he will give you victory.<br />9:23 Don't make friends with your disbelieving family members. Those who do so are wrong-doers.<br />9:29 Fight against Christians and Jews "until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low."<br />9:33 The "Religion of Truth" (Islam) must prevail, by force if necessary, over all other religions.<br />9:41 Fight for Allah with your wealth and whatever weapons are available to you.<br />9:42 Those who refuse to fight for Allah (claiming they are unable) are liars who have destroyed their souls.<br />9:73 Fight the disbelievers and hypocrites. Be harsh with them. They are all going to hell anyway.<br />9:81-83 Those who refuse to give their wealth and lives to Allah will face the fire of hell.<br />9:85 Those who refuse to fight for Allah will be treated (along with their children) as unbelievers.<br />9:111 Believers must fight for Allah. They must kill and be killed. Allah will reward them for it.<br />9:123 Fight disbelievers who are near you, and let them see the harshness in you.<br /><br /><br />This is the last and final word on non muslims before Muhammed died<br /><br />Muhsin Khan, the translator of Sahih al-Bukhari, says God revealed sura 9 in order to discard restraint and to command Muslims to fight against all the pagans as well as against the People of the Book if they do not embrace Islam or until they pay religious taxes. So, at first aggressive fighting was forbidden; it later became permissible (2:190) and subsequently obligatory (9:5). This "verse of the sword" abrogated, canceled, and replaced 124 verses that called for tolerance, compassion, and peace.<br /><br />The Egyptian theologian Abu Suyuti said that everything in the Quran about forgiveness and peace is abrogated by verse 9:5, which orders Muslims to fight the unbelievers and to establish God's kingdom on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
