Islam, And Jihad

Over the last few decades, some Qur'anic verses originating from contexts of war have been removed from their historical, law, and ethical contexts to be transformed into appeals for violence that are timeless. One such verse widely abused is Qur'an 47:4 from Surah Muhammad. In India, a country with Muslims as its religious minority under a democratic government, the effects of this abuse have been particularly damaging. Extreme preachers, jihadist recruiters using the Internet, and global extremist networks cite this verse as a basis to argue that Islam justifies the unlimited killing of non-Muslims. This interpretation is not only morally distressing but also religiously mistaken. It runs completely against how Classical Islam has been understood over fourteen centuries and against how the Prophet Muhammad lived. Major points: The misinterpretation of this verse also hurts the Muslims themselves by fuelling suspicion, supporting repression, and isolating communities. It also drains the Qur’an of moral depth and turns it into a tool of anger. Classical Islamic tradition sees scripture as a living ethical guide, embedded in context, law, and compassion. Qur'an 47:4 is not a call to terror. It is a rule of war aimed at containing bloodshed and bringing combat to an end. To interpret it to the contrary is not righteousness but disinformation. In India today, upholding the literal meaning of such verses is an ethical obligation, a civic imperative, and a bulwark against ideology corrupting faith.

The verse says: فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا۟ ٱلْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَٱنتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن لِّيَبْلُوَا۟ بَعْضَكُم بِبَعْضٍۢ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ “So, when you meet those who disbelieve in battle, strike the necks; then when you have subdued them, bind them firmly; then either release them graciously or ransom them, until the war lays down its burdens. That is so, and if God had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them Himself, but He tests some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the way of God, He will never let their deeds be lost.” Read in full and context, this is not an invitation to terror but a wartime rule limited to a specific historical moment. Yet extremist thinkers remove that context and turn it into a message of endless violence. These radical groups, such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, have quoted only the phrase "strike the necks" and removed what comes after. Through this phrase, it has been shown in ISIS propaganda as an act of divine endorsement for beheadings, suicide attacks, and mass killings of civilians. Many ISIS videos began with a recitation of Surah Muhammad. Such acts are represented as religious duties, not crimes against humanity. This selective quoting is a tactic. In extremist ideology, the distinction between battlefield fighting and civilian life is to be eliminated. In so doing, they transform the entire world into a battlefield, making every Muslim a potential fighter. This approach denies fourteen centuries of Islamic legal thought.
