Arguments from the Quran

INTERPRETATION OF THE ISLAMIC MISSION This process of manifesting the religion was specific to the Arabian Peninsula, which occurred in such a way that no disbeliever remained there. (Al-Bahr al-Muheet, Vol. 5, p. 406) In the case of the children of Ishmael, the method adopted for the manifestation of the religion was that the Prophet waged war against those among them who chose intense opposition and confrontation, meaning that they were to either accept faith or face death. It is mentioned in a reliable Hadith: I was commanded to fight the people (and in the narration of an-Nasa’i, ‘to fight the disbelievers’) until they testify that there is no god but Allah. Once they say it, they have protected their lives and wealth from me, and their reckoning is with Allah. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 1399; Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 21; Sunan an-Nasa’i, Hadith No. 3966; Musnad Ahmad, Hadith No. 10840) In some narrations, the phrase “and Muhammad is His servant and Messenger” is also included. In others, there are additions like “and they should establish prayer and pay zakah,” or “and disbelieve in what is worshipped besides Allah,” and in some, “and they should face our Qiblah and eat our sacrificial animals,”
