CLARIFICATION OF A FALLACY

such as the building up of a good character, loving each other, helping the poor and needy, etc. The same is true of the Quran. When the Prophet of Islam emigrated from Makkah to Madinah, the polytheist tribes were aggressive towards him. But the Prophet always averted their attacks by the exercise of patience and the strategy of avoidance. However on certain occasions no other options existed, save that of retaliation. Therefore, he had to engage in battle on certain occasions. It was these circumstances which occasioned those revelations relating to war. These commands, being specific to certain circumstances, had no general application and were meant to be followed only in the short term. They were not meant to be valid for all time to come. That is why, the permanent status of the Prophet has been termed a, 'mercy for all humankind.’ (21:107) o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about damaged copies and non-receipt of their copies, latest by 15th of every month, providing their full name and address.
