One of the greatest lies in Islamic culture,
referring that God in the holy Qur'an, ordered Muslims to collect tributes
“taxes” in other words “Jizya”, from others who do not believe in Allah “God”
and his profit Mohamed. In this essay,
the writer proves without any doubts that this understanding and interpretation
to the words of God is wrong, and there is no evidence in the holy Qur'an states
that.
THE JIZYA
(the tribute) LIE
BY: ADNAN EL- REFAIE
Translated by: Tarek .A. Hamid
Injustice, contradicts
with God’s methodology, because is light, and injustice is darkness, and
darkness is only the evidence of the absence of light, This is reflected in its most brutal form of
injustice, when practiced by the unjust under the umbrella of God’s methodology,
omitting his injustice to God’s methodology.
This is what we see in other matters of atonement and the killing of
others, just because they are others, in the imposition of jizya upon them,
-according to the historical concept – as a result of not being Muslims.
This injustice in the
atonement of others and imposing jizya, - according to their historical
interpretation, and understanding – It is mainly an abuse to God’s methodology,
and above that causing injustice to humans, enslaving them without any right.
Allah say.. (“Fight
against such of those who do not believe in Allah nor the judgment Day, and
forbid not what Allah has forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the
Religion of Truth, until they become subjective to pay penalties imposed upon
them.”) Al- Tawbah. 29.
}This
is the right interpretation of this verse in the holly Qur'an, and all other interpretations are far away from the truth.{ T.A
We will begin with the
interpretation of this verse by showing the concept of ” fight” in the Book of
Allah, as that this verse begins the word: “FIGHT”… Semantics of linguistic
root “FIGHT OR KILL” in Arabic, and in the book of Allah revolves in an attempt to bring the combatant out of the
fighting square, and never to come back again to that fighting square, so kill
carries the concept of sending the slain out of life. Therefore, we believe that murder is in
conjunction with death.
}And what though ye be slain in Allah's way or die
therein? Surely pardon from Allah and mercy
are better than all that they amass. (157) what though ye be slain
or die, when unto Allah ye are gathered? { (158) Al-
Omran.
}Those who fled their
homes for the cause of Allah and then were killed or died, Allah verily will
provide for them a good provision. Lo! Allah, He verily is best of all who make
provision. { (58) Al- Hajj. .So
Kill here means death.
Killing carries -Within its
significance - The meaning of death }Yet
ye it is who slay each other and drive out a party of your people from their
homes, supporting one another against them by sin and transgression-and if they
came to you as captives ye would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was
itself unlawful for you - Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye
in part thereof? And what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the
life of the world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the
most grievous doom. For Allah is not unaware of what ye do.{
(85) Al- Baqara
}O ye who believe! Squanders not your wealth among
yourselves in vanity, except it is a trade by mutual consent, and kills not one
another. Lo! Allah is ever Merciful unto you.{ Al Nesaa (29)
Killing that leads to
the exit of a human away from the condition in which he is, permanently to
another form, and never returns back to the previous form again. The word
(killing) is not confined to the jihad by the sword, but it also means the
jihad with words and arguments and proof, to save others from darkness that
they sink in, to the light that they should be in, never returning to the
darkness again. Also mean cussing and
expulsion of Mercy, therefore, we see that the word (KILL) related in the Book
of Allah Almighty as saying: } And the Jews say: Ezra
is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah.
That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the same saying of those
who disbelieved. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!{ (30) Al- Tawba
There can’t be a
single sane person imagine that the Quran phrase “Allah fought them” means that Allah held
his sword to fight those in an actual battle, but it means that because of
their ingratitude, God brought them out of the Area of Guidance into the area
of misguidance. Therefore, the word
(KILL) or fight is not confined to the sensuous fighting in the Battle, in
which a fighter aims to only kill the other till death; it has wide
directories, which we can understand from this verse in Quran.
}Those who believe do
battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause
of idols. So fight the Guardians of the devil. Lo! The devil's strategy is ever
so weak.{ (76)
AL- NESAA
Here we see that fighting is an open issue,
Starts from calling to God’s methods getting those who are steeped in the
Juggernaut, away from darkness to the light to become on the right path of
Allah, and if they fought to kill using a weapon, then, and only then we have
to fight back.
}fight all of the
Idolaters as they are fighting all of you… And know that Allah is with the
Pious.{ (36)
Tawbah
The two phrases… “And
fight all of the Idolaters as they are fighting all of you” Could not be confined by sword
fighting, as not all Polytheists are always in sword fight with all believers,
While permanent fighting between those who are faithful and those who are
Idolaters, Is the fight of thought and beliefs, and spreading it among the
people. So the case fighting then is not
confined to swords and weapon fighting only, especially in this holy verse.
Looking
back to the verse saying (Fight against such of those who do not believe in
Allah nor the judgment Day, and forbid not what Allah has forbidden by His
messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they become subjective
to pay penalties imposed upon them.”) Al- Tawbah. 29.
The first word in this
verse is fight, and it is not confined to sword fighting, as the reason for
this fight is to “pay the tribute readily, being brought low.” as they wrongly translated or understood. And thus,
the survival of the person or persons meant by the verse, to give the penalty
enforced upon him, as they pay the tribute as wrongly translated in the
scripture. How God would order the
killing of a person, while this person must pay a tribute, therefore, the
target is not to kill him, the target is to comply to the penalty resulting
from his wrongful and criminal actions.
In this verse, we see the words (those
how received the book) i.e “the Scripture” not the words (people of the
book) “the Scripture”. As the Quranic phrase (people of the book) is a term
used specially to those followers of Moses and Jesus, peace be upon them, while
the Qur'an term (those how received the book) also includes Muslims as well.
In
these 2 verses is the proof of this…
(And ye will hear much wrong from those who were
given the Scripture” the book” before you, and from the idolaters. but if ye
persevere and ward off (evil), then that is of the steadfast heart of things. (186) Al- Imran.
(And We recommended to those who received the
Scripture” the book” before you,fear Allah. (131).
Al-Nessaa.
And so are the virtuous women of the
believers and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you. (Maeda 5)
So, the Qur'an phrase
(before you) which came before the Quranic phrase (those how received the book)
is a clear verification that we are as Muslims part of those how received the
book. And the phrase before you is a
reference to the people of the book distinguishing them from those concerned
with the Quranic words. This includes us and them as well. Thus, the almighty
saying” and follow not the Religion of Truth of those who have been given
the Scripture” shows the reason of fighting them, and this Completely negate
the allegations of any payments or attributes on their behalf to become
believers or Muslims.
God, Almighty did not
say (“Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe
not in Allah nor the day of judgment, and forbid not that which Allah hath
forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth of those who
have been given the Scripture,
UNTIL THEY BELIEVE ,i.e BECOME MUSLIMS - or until they pay the tribute readily, being brought
low.”) Al- Tawbah 29
Therefore the meaning of the previous
Quranic phrase is: Until the holders of such felonies comply with the penalty
corresponding to these felonies.
The conjunction words between sentences
that refers to the felonies, (shown in bold letters and underlined below is a
statement to that fighting those must be when they have all those qualities
characterized by, forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His
messenger” proves that it is a matter of felonies and corresponding
punishments, others who believe not in Islam are not committed to follow
particulars which is forbidden by Gog Almighty and his messenger upon Muslims.
Fight against such of those who have been
given the Scripture AND believe not in Allah nor the day of judgment , AND
forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, AND follow not the
Religion of Truth of those who have been given the Scripture, until they pay
the tribute readily, being brought low.”)
How God would order others to fight to
force them to enter Islam as a religion,
When God Almighty say:-
There is no compulsion
in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from Seduction.
Allah
Say: (It is) the truth from God, Then whosoever
will let him believe, and whosoever will, let him disbelieve. ( Kahf 29)
And if thy Lord
willed, all who are in the earth would have believed together. Wouldst thou
(Muhammad) compel men until they are believers?.( Younis 99)
Therefore, we see that the word Fight
in the beginning of the verse, discribes exerting the effort, not in killing
others to become Muslims, or paying tributes “jizya” , but exerting all efforts
to bring those who commited felonies to pay for whatever crimes they committed.
Thus, The theme of any
tribute paid in cash, or gold or whatever as a substitute for their conversion
to Islam, is a big lie, fabricated to the methodology of God.
Finally,
there is nothing called
“Tribute
in Islam,
It is a great lie.
