| Islam: Religion of peace. | 9:73 O Prophet (Muhammad)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination. Tafsir: 1 2 3 |
Examine Rodwell's translation:
O Prophet! contend against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be rigorous with them: Hell shall be their dwelling place! Wretched the journey thither!
Examine Sale's translation:
O prophet, wage war against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be severe unto them: For their dwelling shall be hell; an unhappy journey [shall it be thither]!
Three translations; same meaning: strive, contend, wage war. It ain't a religion and it ain't peaceful; what will you do about it? Will you sign, promote & publicize the Outlaw Islam Petition or will you wait passively for the Mujahideen to come for you?
