Q49:10The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two contending brothers; and fear Allah.

Q49:11O ye who believe! Let not some men among you deride others: Nor let some women deride others; perchance they may be better than they. Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by offensive names: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, to be used of one after he has believed.

Allah and the believers hate those disputing Muhammad’s message. They are referred to as arrogant and stubborn offenders of god, resulting in Allah sealing up their hearts. Why would a God want to seal up someone’s heart thereby giving them no opportunity to evade the Hell he created, is surely mindboggling.

Q40:35Those who dispute concerning the communications of Allah without any authority that He has given them; greatly hated is it by Allah and by-those who believe. Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate transgressors

Muhammad was always adamant that what he preached was obvious and patently clear for all to see. However his handful of adherents questioned not only the rejection of the revelations by the people of Mecca but also its ridicule by many. Muhammad circumvents this dilemma by declaring in the Qur'an that those who cannot be convinced of the truth of his message have had obstacles deliberately placed in their path by Allah. Essentially Allah could easily will everyone see the truth of Islam, but he does not; he deliberately leads most astray. He puts a veil on their hearts and covering over their ears so that Islamic truths are filtered out. He goes so far as put chains around their necks and barriers in front and behind them to avoid penetration of his message. Essentially anyone sceptical about Islam has been programmed to be a disbeliever by Allah, with no choice but to reject it and hence pre-ordained for an afterlife in Hell.

Q32:13If We had so willed, We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: but the word from Me will come true, “I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together.”
Q18:57Surely We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand it and a heaviness in their ears; and if you call them to the guidance, even then will they never accept guidance.
Q45:23Have you seen him who makes his desire his god, and Allah sends him astray purposely, and seals up his hearing and his heart, and puts a covering upon his eye. Then who will lead him after Allah has condemned him?
Q10:100And it is not for a soul to believe except by Allah's permission; and He casts uncleanness on those who will not understand.
Q36:8-10We have put chains round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up and they cannot see. And We have made barriers in front and behind them, then We have covered them over so that they do not see. It is the same whether you warn them or warn them not: they do not believe.
Q16:93If Allah so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases.

Allah, by placing a veil over their heart and deafening their ears, deliberately confuses the kafir so that they cannot understand Muhammad’s message or believe the divine signs.

Q6:25Some among them listen to you {Mohammed}, but We have thrown veils on their hearts, so they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe in it {the Koran}.

Believers must be harsh with the kuffar while being loving to one another. This will ensure Allah enrages the unbelievers.

Q48:29Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves... that He {Allah} may enrage the disbelievers with the sight of them {the believers}.

Even though Allah could have done it himself, he commands the Muslims, in battle, to behead the kuffar where possible or take them as prisoners for ransom. This he does as a mercy to the believers to test their faith promising that should a believer be killed in battle his deeds will count, obviously as entrance to Paradise. Allah was probably not aware of the eventual introduction of guns, tanks, rockets or bombs in warfare which is why his eternal words rely on the smiting of the unbelievers’ neck with swords.

Q 47:4When you meet the kafir in battle, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favour or ransom them until the war terminates. Thus are you commanded. But if it had been Allah's will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them Himself; but He lets you fight in order to test you. Those who are slain in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.

Muhammad is advised by Allah to ensure that the believers stand firm, while he places terror in the hearts of the Kafir, softening them up for the believers to strike off their heads and fingertips. Why would Allah want the fingertips of the kuffar to be severed is not stated, but after beheading them, the loss of the fingers would seem irrelevant?

Q8:12When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

Allah wants to ensure that all the idol worshippers are killed unless they accept Islam, pray and pay their tax. However this slaying cannot take place in the sacred month of Ramadan; that might be offensive to Allah or maybe the Muslims might not fare too well on an empty stomach during their fasting season.

Q9:5So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war, but if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them;

Those who strive for corruption in the land are essentially peoples who do not follow the laws laid down by Allah; living and encouraging a lifestyle that is haram or prohibited. Such kuffar should they pursue with such mischief or wage war against Muslims should be crucified or have their limbs amputated.

Q5:33The reward of those who... strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in this world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom.

The Jews and Christians are to be attacked in war because they do not accept Muhammad’s final revelations from Allah and they do not forbid the things that are prohibited. Their safety is dependant on their conversion to Islam or the payment, in humiliation, of the jizya tax while acknowledging Islam’s superiority.

Q9:29Fight the Jews and Christians who do not believe in Allah, nor in the last day, nor prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of Islam, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

Fighting the disbelievers is an obligation on the believers as a sacred duty to Allah. They must be captured or slayed with no mercy, for they eventual destination is Hell.

Q9:123O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him
Q9:73Oh Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites! Be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is hell…

The Christians and Jews are however spared from the slaughter if and only if they choose to pay the jizya tax with submission and agree to live under strict regulations as outlined in the chapter - Islam for Dhimmis.

Curses shall be upon the hypocrites (those who claim to be Muslims but act otherwise) and disbelievers as Muhammad recommends the approved practice, which Allah devised; that of merciless slaughter.

Q33:60-62They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. Such was the practice approved of Allah among those who lived before. No change will you find in the practice approved by Allah.

Killing of a Muslim by either another Muslim or a kafir merits capital punishment for the culprit. However the murder of a kafir by a Muslim does not attract the same penalty.

SB83:50Ali said: We have nothing except what is in the Quran and what is written in this sheet of paper which is the legal regulations of Diya (Blood-money) and the ransom for releasing of the captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir.

The kuffar, once conquered, can have all their possessions taken away from them, including their women and children, as reward for the soldiers of Allah.

Q8:69But now enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good: but fear Allah
SB59:540We came upon the Prophet after he had conquered Khaibar. He then gave us a share from the booty, but apart from us he did not give to anybody else who did not attend the Conquest.
SB59:360The total number of Muslim fighters from Quraish who fought in the battle of Badr and were given their share of the booty, were 81 men.
SB59:361On the day of Badr, Quraishi emigrants received 100 shares of the war booty.
SB59:619When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty amongst those whose hearts have been recently reconciled to Islam
SB59:621When it was the day of the Conquest of Mecca Allah's Apostle distributed the war booty amongst the people of Quraish which caused the Ansar to become angry.
SB59:627The Prophet sent an army unit towards Najd and I was in it, and our share from the booty amounted to twelve camels each, and we were given an additional camel each.

A Muslim is not to befriend a kafir unless he wants vengeance from Allah. Allah says he will disown such Muslims who will have to guard against the supposedly dangerous nonbeliever as he will no longer guide them, but instead send them to abide in Hell, along with their disbelieving friend.

Q3:28Let not believers take the kuffar for friends; whoever does this, shall have no help from Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of retribution from Himself; for Allah is the final goal.
Q4:144O Ye who believe! Choose not disbelievers for your friends
Q5:51O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Q5:80You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.
Q53:29Therefore shun those who turn away from Our Message…

Even your own family members, should they not accept Islam, must be shunned. If a Muslim does not follow this advice, they are among the wrong-doers.

Q9:23O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers or your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you takes them for friends, such are wrong-doers

From the example of Muhammad, who is recorded in the hadiths as saying not even his fathers, i.e. relatives, could be his friends, the dissection of family, community and humanity becomes a necessity under Islam.

SM1:417The Messenger of Allah quite audibly and not secretly said: Behold! the posterity of my fathers, that is, so and so, are not my friends. Verily Allah and the pious believers are my friends.
SAD41:4815The Prophet said: A man follows the religion of his friend; so each one should consider whom he makes as friend.

Muhammad in essence had a grave inferiority complex about his cult and recognized the association of his followers with those who saw through his spurious revelations as a major threat to his mission; hence his forbidding of any friendships even with mother, father, siblings and children.

Friendly relationships with the kuffar would be quite difficult knowing well that you are recommended in the Qur’an to hack off their necks and then slice off their finger tips.

Q8:12I give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.

Apparently the severing of the unbelievers’ necks is not sufficient for Allah. He has to make sure that the fingertips of the corpses are also hacked off.

Allah does however make allowance for Muslim men to marry women from among the Jews and Christians, however not from among the Hindus, Buddhists, atheists or any non Abrahamic god worshipping group. The women of Islam, though, do not have the option to marry outside of the religion. Verse 5:5 of the Qur'an makes not only the women of the People of the Book lawful but also their food.

Q5:5This day are all things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. Lawful unto you in marriage are chaste women who are believers, and chaste women from among the People of the Book, revealed before your time.

However, prior to revealing this verse, Allah in Qur'an 2:221 had prohibited marriage between Muslims and unbelievers, saying it was better for a Muslim to marry a believing slave than to marry a kafir who would apparently attract them to the Hell fire.

Q2:221Do not marry unbelieving women, until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry your girls to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do but beckon you to the Fire.

In this verse the word mushrik (one who commits shirk) is used for unbelievers. Some translators today render it in English simply as ‘idolaters’ to avoid contradiction with verse 5.5. However shirk means the sin of worshipping other than Allah or associating other beings with Allah which would essentially include the People of the Book mentioned in verse 5.5.

Why the change of heart from on high, one might ask? It would appear that verse 5:5 allowing marriage of Muslim men to Christian women, was another one of those concessions made by Allah to please the desires of his final prophet. Allah's amendment corresponded somewhat curiously with Muhammad's own desire to marry a non-Muslim woman, the twenty year old Mariyah al-Qibtiyaa. Of course a non-believing woman marrying a Muslim man would have to adopt the religion of her husband, as would the children.

A woman converting to Islam and coming to the Muslims has her marriage automatically annulled from her unbelieving husband and becomes lawful to Muslim men. Her kafir husband is apparently now unlawful for her. Allah’s concern about women joining the fold appears more related to their availability for marriage as opposed to any religious or spiritual development.

Q60:10When believing women come to you, test their faith. If you ascertain that they are believers, then do not send them back to the unbelievers. They are no longer lawful wives for the unbelievers and the unbelievers are no longer lawful as husbands for them. But pay the unbelievers their dowry and there will be no blame on you if ye marry them. But hold not to the guardianship of unbelieving women…

According to Muhammad, marriage of the kuffar is annulled once the women are captured. Any Kafir female captured in battle can be raped.

SB59:459Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "We went out with Allah's Apostle for the Ghazwa {holy war with the prophet} of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab Pagans. We desired the women and we did coitus interruptus {withdrawing before ejaculation - to avoid pregnancy for better ransom}. So we asked Allah's Apostle about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul till the Day of Resurrection is predestined to exist, it will exist."{Muhammad essentially stated that there was no need to withdraw while raping the captives because birth was dependant on destiny not copulation.}

Those who do not accept Islam are covered in a perpetual state of darkness and Allah shines no light on them.

Q24:40The Unbelievers' state is as darkness on a vast, abysmal sea. There covereth him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for whom Allah hath not appointed light, for him there is no light.

The Kafir is referred to as evil and the believer should seek refuge in Allah to ensure they do not come into their presence. The evil persons here are specifically the Christians and Pagans who associate partners with God.

Q23:90-98We sent them the Truth: but they indeed practise falsehood. Never did Allah take to Himself a son, and never was there with him any other god. So say “O Allah I seek refuge with Thee from the suggestions of the evil ones, lest they should come near me.”

Allah does not care for the kafir or her lack of prayers to him. Essentially Allah is insecure and on not receiving due praise resorts to the inevitable eternal punishment.

Q25:77 Say to the kafirs: My Lord does not care for you were and lack of your prayer; but ye have indeed rejected Him and soon will come the inevitable punishment!

According to Allah the Kuffar are not too bright. No matter how many signs you show them they are too ignorant to believe. However if Allah wishes them to see the truth they could, but somehow he purposely conceals it, yet still calls them ignorant.

Q6:111And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them and We had brought together all things before them, they would not believe unless Allah pleases, but most of them are ignorant.

The kuffar will always be at a disadvantage against the believers, as Allah promises in the Qur’an that he will never allow the former to triumph, rule or manage over the latter:

Q4:141…Allah will not give the disbelievers any way of success against the believers.

No other religion will be accepted by Allah and those believers in other faiths will be losers in the hereafter.

Q3:85And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.

Allah injects a dose of animosity towards the unbelievers by informing the believers of rejoicing that takes place among the kuffar when misfortunes befall them.

Q3:120If good befalls you, it grieves them, and if an evil afflicts you, they rejoice at it;

Allah explicitly states he does not love the unbelievers - those who do not obey him and Muhammad. Such an example, set by an entity looked up to and worshipped by over a billion humans can only translate into a conditioned hatred, by followers, for a large percentage of humanity.

Q3:31Obey Allah and the Messenger; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.
Q30:45That He may reward those who believe; surely He does not love the unbelievers.
Q22:38Surely Allah will defend those who believe; surely Allah does not love any one who is unfaithful, ungrateful.

Regardless of the good works a person performs or how kind, loving and compassionate they were, according to Allah, their deeds count for naught in the hereafter. Their actions will have no weight because they did not accept Islam, Allah and Muhammad. Their compensation for all their altruistic works will be hell. Such is the lot of the Kafir according to the Qur’an.

Q18:103-6Shall we tell you of those who lose most in respect of their deeds? Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works? Those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him in the Hereafter: vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of Judgment, give them any weight. That is their reward, Hell, because they rejected faith (Islam), and took My Signs and My messenger by way of jest.

Therefore, the predicament of non-Muslims in the hereafter will not be a bed of roses. Allah has created a special place where he intends to torture and burn those who do not believe in him and Muhammad. The chapter - Fuel for the Fire, provides a full analysis of this abode of eternal torment.

Q3:10Those who disbelieve, surely neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them in the least against Allah, and these it is who are the fuel of the fire.

The kafir should be disgraced on account of their denial of Islam and their worship of false gods. In the hereafter they will be gathered along with their wives and the things they worshipped. The wives apparently are the possession of the man. Hence regardless of their earthly character and deeds, they will be gathered with their humiliated husband for throwing into the fire.

Q37:18-23Say: Ye shall be humiliated on account of your evil... It shall be said: Bring ye up. The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped and lead them to the way of the fierce Fire!

The kafir will be mocked by the believers who are sitting on their thrones on the Day of Judgment as payback for denying Allah and Muhammad.

Q83:34-36So today those who believe shall laugh at the kuffar; On thrones, they will look. Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?

The kuffar do not accept Islam, which is the religion of truth according to the Qur'an. No other religion on earth can be accepted, for Islam must prevail because religion should be only for Allah. Hence the Kuffar whose gods are false, are seen and treated as miscreants, living in darkness against the will of the only god. Their points of view and interfaith dialogue are irrelevant because they are not to be listened to.

Q48:28He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion that He may make it prevail over all the religions.
Q9:30Allah's curse be on them {Jews and Christians}: how they are deluded away from the Truth
Q3:85If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who are losers.
Q2:257As for those who disbelieve, their patrons are false deities that take them into darkness. Such are the rightful owners of the Fire.
Q25:52Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness.
Q8:38-9Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already a warning. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and religion should be only for Allah;

Allah promises the Muslims inheritance of the earth, and gives them his consent to invade the lands of the Kuffar, using the example of Muhammad's already sizeable conquest of Arabian lands to encourage the believers to continue pushing back borders. Allah makes the believers heirs to the land, property and belongings of the Kuffar, using his powers to assist them in entering and taking any land, even those they have not yet trodden on. Allah also confirms that there is none who can put back his command. So invading all lands is an indispensable requirement of Islam and once a land is conquered for Allah it should never be usurped by the Kuffar.

Q13:41See they not that We gradually reduce the land in their control from its outlying borders? Where Allah commands, there is none to put back His Command
Q21:44See they not that We gradually reduce the land in their control from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will win?
Q33:27And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and to a land which you have not yet trodden, and Allah has power over all things.
Q24:55Allah has promised to those of you who believe that He will most certainly make you rulers in the earth, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them.

Islam has a special obsession with non-believers and an imperialistic goal of ruling over all. Islam teaches love and kindness, but that applies only to those within the ummah. Loyalty is required only within Muhammad's own domain while compassion for those outside the faith is explicitly discouraged. The kuffar are to be hated, not to be befriended, nor afforded equal rights and opportunities, and are even to be killed when the opportunity arises with their possessions, which include women and children, to be confiscated. It is fundamentally a supremacist ideology devised to divide and subjugate humanity with the blatant aim of weakening and conquering those unwilling to submit to its creed.
