Surat al-Anfal, 39

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on A9 TV, 7 January 2013

Surat Al-Anfal, 39

“Fight them until there is no more discord and the religion is Allah’s alone. If they stop, Allah sees what they do.” 

Allah says 'jihad', which means making an effort. It doesn’t mean actual war or fighting. Actual war means ‘qital’. But here, it is not qital that Muslims should be doing.  Hear what our Almighty Lord says. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan:  “Fight them until there is no more discord and the religion is Allah’s alone. If they stop, Allah sees what they do.”  Does the religion belong to Allah alone now? Is there no more discord around? Obviously it’s not the case. So Allah tells us to ‘make an effort to ensure that’, until “the religion is Allah’s alone”. Our Almighty Lord says this for the whole world. What does it mean that there is no more discord? There is discord if the Qur'an is not practiced. Allah says you should communicate the message of Islam, and if you don’t do that, you will be committing a sin. But these people claim that it is not necessary.
