Quran 29:45. Recite what is revealed to you of the Scripture, and perform the prayer. The prayer prevents indecencies and evils. And the remembrance of God is greater. And God knows what you do.
46. And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in the best manner possible, except those who do wrong among them. And say, “We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you; and our God and your God is One; and to Him we are submissive.”
47. Likewise, We revealed to you the Scripture. Those to whom We gave the Scripture believe in it, and some of these believe in it. None renounce Our communications except the disbelievers.
48. You did not read any scripture before this, nor did you write it down with your right hand; otherwise the falsifiers would have doubted.
49. In fact, it is clear signs in the hearts of those given knowledge. No one renounce Our signs except the unjust.
50. And they said, “If only a miracle from his Lord was sent down to him.” Say, “Miracles are only with God, and I am only a clear warner.”
51. Does it not suffice them that We revealed to you the Scripture, which is recited to them? In that is mercy and a reminder for people who believe.
Here's the commentary for this morning.This verse invites the followers of all religions to accept the Qur’ån on account of its purifying effect upon life, as the previous scriptures had ceased to effect deliverance from the bondage of sin, which is the real object of revelation. The verse also lays down the right principle for getting rid of the bondage of sin in the words the remembrance of Allåh is the greatest, i.e., the most powerful and effective restraint upon sin. It is a living belief in the Divine power, knowledge, and goodness that restrains man from walking in the ways of His displeasure. A sure and certain knowledge that every evil action leads to an evil consequence, that there is a Supreme Being, Who knows what is hid from human eyes and Whose moral law is effective where the moral force of society fails, that He is the source of all goodness and it is through goodness that man can have communion with Him, are the only effective restraints upon evil.
It should be noted that this passage deals only with the mode of controversy to be adopted in inviting those who already had scriptures in their hands — which the Arabs had not — to the truth of Islåm and the revelation of the Qur’ån. The Qur’ån makes its own meaning clear when it explains that it is the broad principles of religion that should demand paramount consideration. The fundamental principle of religion is that God exists and that He reveals Himself to man, and it is common to all revealed religions. The only difference is that a Muslim’s is a purer monotheism, a conception of the Divine Being which gives the most perfect attributes to Him while declaring Him to be free from all imperfections and weaknesses, a conception which cannot reasonably be criticized by anyone who admits a belief in a Supreme Being. A Muslim’s conception of Divine revelation is wider than that of the follower of any other religion, recognizing, as it does, that Divine revelation is granted in all ages and to all nations. A Muslim, therefore, admits the truth of all the prophets and revelations, and the follower of any other religion has nothing to lose but everything to gain by accepting Islåm.
See... same God as the God in the Old Testament..... same God as the God in the New Testament.Satan has Believers fighting with Believers.
Satan has Believers wearing guns in church.
Now look at verse 46. We're not supposed to argue with the preacher, priest, or rabbi. UNLESS they are liars or perverts. If the pastor, priest, or rabbi is lying to you... distorting the truth... that there is Only One True Living God.... then we're supposed to point that out... and straighten the pastor's, priests, or rabbis path for them or throw them out!
It is better to make a spectacle out of a rotten preacher, priest, or rabbi, than to let them continue spreading lies and hate and evil.
Satan has Believers fighting with Believers because a preacher, priest, or rabbi has gone sour!
Satan has Believers fighting with Believers.
