No! this verse refer to those who are attacking muslims unfairly and give them hard time. if you continue reading the next verse (90) you will understand.\n\nQuran 4:(89, 90)\n[89] They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of God (to Muhammad (peace be upon him)) But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them. \n\n[90] "Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had God willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then God has opened no way for you against them." \n\n\nalso in this verse it explains even more\nQuran 2:190\n\n"And fight in the Way of God those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, God does not love the transgressors."

But if the murdered Muslim belonged to a people who are at enmity with you, then the expiation shall be the freeing of one believing slave; and if the slain person belonged to a non-Muslim ally of yours, then the blood-money must be paid to his heirs ( 123 ) and a believing slave has to be set free. But if one could not afford a slave, then he must fast two consecutive months. ( 124 ) This is the way enjoined by Allah for repentance; ( 125 ) Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. As regards the one who kills a Believer wilfully, his recompense is Hell, wherein he shall live for ever.

Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn\n(The Believers) XXIII \n\n\nIn the Name of Allâh,\nthe Most Gracious, the Most Merciful\n\n\n     1. Successful indeed are the believers.\n\n     2. Those who offer their Salât (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness.\n\n     3. And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allâh has forbidden).\n\n     4. And those who pay the Zakât.\n\n     5. And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)\n\n     6. Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, - for then, they are free from blame;\n\n     7. But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;\n\n     8. Those who are faithfully true to their Amanât (all the duties which Allâh has ordained, honesty, moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants;\n\n     9. And those who strictly guard their (five compulsory congregational) Salawât (prayers) (at their fixed stated hours).\n\n     10. These are indeed the inheritors\n\n     11. Who shall inherit the Firdaus (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever.\n\n     12. And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).\n\n     13. Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman).\n\n     14. Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So Blessed is Allâh, the Best of creators.[1]\n\n     15. After that, surely, you will die.\n\n     16. Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.\n\n     17. And indeed We have created above you seven heavens (one over the other), and We are never unaware of the creation.\n\n 18. And We sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and We gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, We are Able to take it away.\n\n     19. Then We brought forth for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you, and whereof you eat.\n\n     20. And a tree (olive) that springs forth from Mount Sinai, that grows (produces) oil, and (it is a) relish for the eaters.\n\n     21. And verily in the cattle there is indeed a lesson for you. We give you to drink (milk) of that which is in their bellies. And there are, in them, numerous (other) benefits for you, and of them you eat.\n\n     22. And on them, and on ships you are carried.\n\n     23. And indeed We sent Nûh (Noah) to his people, and he said: "O my people! Worship Allâh! You have no other Ilâh (God) but Him (Islâmic Monotheism). Will you not then be afraid (of Him i.e. of His punishment because of worshipping others besides Him)?"\n\n     24. But the chiefs of his people who disbelieved said: "He is no more than a human being like you, he seeks to make himself superior to you. Had Allâh willed, He surely could have sent down angels. Never did we hear such a thing among our fathers of old.\n\n     25. "He is only a man in whom is madness, so wait for him a while."\n\n     26. [Nûh (Noah)] said: "O my Lord! Help me because they deny me."\n\n     27. So We revealed to him (saying): "Construct the ship under Our Eyes and under Our Revelation (guidance). Then, when Our Command comes, and water gushes forth from the oven, take on board of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except those thereof against whom the Word has already gone forth. And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned.\n\n28. And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, Who has saved us from the people who are Zâlimûn (i.e. o

Sorry mate, but you're quoting a humbug here. No such verse exists in the Koran\n\nA quite separate question is why so many muslims support homicidal maniacs who are de facto heretics to Islam. But that one is smething that they will have to answer- either in this world or the next.

Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it: \n“I do not know whence I have come. \nI saw my feet walking on the road. \nAs they please I go and stop. \nWhat am I doing here? \nHow did the road find me?\nI do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”\n\nGod has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?”  (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2) \nIndeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah  is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)\nProphet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)\nProphet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)\nProphet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)\nRead more about the TRUE BELIEVE which supported by the Miracle Holy Quran :\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/islam-guide.pdf\n\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com\n\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*==*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n\nReal happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.) \n(Qur’an, 13:28)\n\nOn the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:\n(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)\nThis may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night.

Quran advocates fighting for self defense. First verse in Quran that states fighting is \n"2:190. And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits. "\n\nSimilary, if you search whole Quran you can find only fighting prescribed only for self defence. Some people quote verse from the middle to show that Quran prescribes killing all unbelivers. One most quoted verse is \n" 9: 5. So 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 ambush,"\n\nWithout quoting the context and the verses below and above a neutral reader will judge Quran is commanding to kill all idolaters. But it's context is only regarding a particular group of idolaters who made an agreement with Muslims and later conspired against them breaking the treaty. This is clear from the preceeding verse\n" 9: 4. Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty)."\n\nSee what Quran says how to deal with those who are not fighting with you\n"60: 8. Allah does not forbid you respecting those who have not made war against you on account of (your) religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly; surely Allah loves the doers of justice."

There is no way to verify any prophecy in the Qu'ran. It is written in a high, holy Arabic language that rises above poetry. Any english translation to prove such a possibility would prove fruitless. There is no such claim with the Bible because the way it is written takes into account that it would eventually BE translated into other languages and a great deal of the prophecies would remain intact. This is why there were so many and why most were done in "type" as well as foreshadow and literal forms.\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/mbqa3

Praise be to Allaah.\n\nThere is no doubt that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are two huge nations of the sons of Adam. Anyone who reads the story of Dhu’l-Qarnayn and how he dealt with this nation in Soorat al-Kahf will know for sure that they exist and that the barrier which was built is not metaphorical or imaginary, but is a physical barrier built of iron and melted copper. The basic principle is that we should take this Qur’anic text as it is, without resorting to any kind of misinterpretation or trying to twist the intended meaning. The Qur’aan has told us how the barrier was built and what materials were used, so it is not right to say that it is a metaphorical or imaginary barrier. In Soorat al-Kahf, Allaah has told us the story of the Muslim king and the great leader Dhu’l-Qarnayn (may Allaah have mercy on him):\n\n“Until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before (near) them, a people who scarcely understood a word.\n\nThey said, ‘O Dhu’l-Qarnayn! Verily! Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?’\n\nHe said: ‘That (wealth, authority and power) in which my Lord has established me is better (than your tribute). So help me with strength (of men), I will erect between you and them a barrier.\n\nGive me pieces (blocks) of iron,’ then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain-cliffs, he said, ‘Blow,’ till when he had made it (red as) fire, he said, ‘Bring me molten copper to pour over it.’\n\nSo they [Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj] were made powerless to scale it or dig through it.\n\n(Dhu’l-Qarnayn) said: ‘This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true.’”\n[al-Kahf 18:93-98]\n\nWhat indicates that these nations exist at present, and indeed are attempting on a daily basis to get out and attack people, is the hadeeth reported by Ibn Maajah with a saheeh isnad from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said: “The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj are digging every day until they can almost see sunlight, then the one who is in charge of them says, “Go back, we will dig again tomorrow.” Then Allaah restores (the barrier) and makes it stronger than it was. (This will continue) until the appointed time. When Allaah wishes to send them against the people, they will dig until they can almost see sunlight, then the one who is in charge of them will say, “Go back, we will dig again tomorrow, in sha Allah.” This time he will say “in sha Allah”, so when they come back (the next day), they will find it as they left it, so they will dig their way out and emerge to attack the people. They will dry up water (by drinking it, because of their great numbers), and the people will seek to protect themselves from them in their fortresses. They will fire their arrows into the sky, and the arrows will come back down covered in blood (as a test for them), and they will say, “We have defeated the people of the earth and have gained the upper hand over the people of heaven.” Then Allaah will send worms on the napes of their necks, which will kill them. The Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the beasts of the earth will grow fat from their flesh.” (Saheeh Ibn Maajah, 3298)\n\nUmm Habeebah bint Abi Sufyaan reported from Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allaah be pleased with them) that the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered upon her in an agitated state and said, “Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, woe to the Arabs from an evil that has approached! Today a hole like this has been opened in the barrier of Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj,” and he made a circle with his thumb and forefinger. Zaynab bint Jahsh said: “I sai

EDITED TEXT: I can't believe some of the ignorance revealing itself here. Islam is not evil. Muslims are not evil. A few fanatic crazy people blow themselves up because they've been brainwashed into doing this - this does not represent Islam. I'm brought up Christian - I don't particularly follow any religion to the letter, but attitudes like what I'm reading here, baked in ignorance and marinated in baseless propaganda will only make the current situation worse. Differeing peoples only come together through tolerance and understanding. You mustn't think that all Muslims are intolerant and fanatical because a miniscule fraction capture all the headlines. Smarten up people.\n\n/rant\n\nAs to the question...\n\n\nSunni:\n\nThe Sunni are the largest group in Islam. In Arabic, as-Sunnah literally means principle or path. Sunnis and Shi'a believe that Muhammad is a perfect example to follow, and that they must imitate the words and acts of Muhammad as accurately as possible. Because of this reason, the Hadith in which those words and acts are described are a main pillar of Sunni doctrine.\n\nSunnis recognize four legal traditions (madhhabs): Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanafi, and Hanbali. All four accept the validity of the others and Muslims choose any one that he/she finds agreeable to his/her ideas. There are also several orthodox theological or philosophical traditions (kalam).\n\nShi'a:\n\nShi'a Muslims, the second-largest branch, differ from the Sunni in rejecting the authority of the first three caliphs. They honor different traditions (hadith) and have their own legal traditions. Shi'a scholars have a larger authority than Sunni scholars and have greater room for interpretation. The Imams play a central role in Shi'a doctrine. Shi'a Muslims hold that Muhammad, his daughter Fatima and the twelve descendants of Muhammad, the Imams, were all sinless and pure. This is based on Qur'anic verses (such as 33:33) and Hadith narrations such as the Event of the Cloak.\n\nThe Arabic word Shi'a literally translates into the word 'supporters' or 'followers'. Originally known as Shi'at ul Ali (the supporters of Ali), the group formed shortly after the death of Ali, in Iraq. Ali ibn Abi Talib was the cousin of prophet Muhammad, and after marriage to Fatima, he also became Muhammad's son-in-law. Muhammad was raised in the house of Abi Taleb after he became an orphan; therefore he and Ali were raised as brothers.\n\nThe Shi'a consist of one major school of thought known as the Ithna 'ashariyah or the "Twelvers", and a few minor schools of thought, as the "Seveners" or the "Fivers" referring to the number of infallible leaders they recognize after the death of prophet Muhammad. The term Shi'a, when used without qualification, is usually taken to be synonymous with the Ithna Ashariyya or Twelvers. Most Shi'a live in Iran, Iraq (the country where Ali died), Bahrain, Lebanon, India, Azerbaijan, Yemen and Pakistan. A minority group (about 10-15 million) of Shi'a is known as Ismaili. The Shia Ismaili branch is subdivided into Nizari Ismaili and Mustaali Bohra subbranches. The Nizari Ismaili or are led by the Aga Khan and are found mainly in Pakistan, Tajikistan, Bangladesh, India, Canada and United States, although the modern day practices of this branch are very different from that of the mainstream Twelvers. The Mustaali Bohra branch is further subdivided into Dawoodi and Sulaimanis subsects. The Dawoodi Bohras are concentrated in Pakistan and India. The Sulaimani Bohras are concentrated in Yemen and Najran province of Saudi Arabia.

First let me tell Argu.... Just because Jesus was born of a virgin doesn't mean he was the son of God. It's called a miracle. Every prophet has them.\n\nNow to the question - the point the Quran is trying to make is that the Prophets were sent to the people as warners. Period. Allah is telling us that He sent such warners to the people so they would understand and the prophets are not Gods, but are divinely guided human beings.
