A few verses of Koran that all Muslims should know

So many misguided people have claimed that “neither the basic texts of Islam, nor accepted Muslim practice condones terrorism or killing of civilians”.

The above statement is not true. Killing civilians, including women and children was normal practice throughout the history of the Islamic movement. The practice started from the very beginning, based on the verses of the Koran as follows:

Koran 17:16-17
When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet transgress; so that Allah's word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly. How many generations have we destroyed after Noah? And enough is thy Lord to note and see the Sins of his servants.

Koran 21:11
How many were the populations we utterly destroyed because of their inequities, setting up in their place other peoples.

Koran 58:5
Those who resist Allah and His Messenger will be crumbled to dust, as were those before them: for we have already sent down Clear Signs and the Unbelievers will have a humiliating Penalty.


Koran 44:43-50
Verily the Tree of Zaqqum will be the food of the sinful. Like molten brass it will boil in their insides, Like the boiling of scalding water Seize Ye Him and drag him into the midst of the blazing Fire Then pour over his head the penalty of Boiling Water.

Pouring boiling water on the victim’s head was recorded throughout history. On April 20, 1998, in Ulhampur, India, over 30 innocent Kashmiri Hindu men, women, and children were burned alive in accordance to this verse.

Koran 5:33 The Punishment for those who oppose Allah and his messenger is: Execution or Crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides or exile from the land.

Koran 5:33 was specifically devised for those who did not believe in Allah. The cutting off of arms from the elbows and legs from the knees from the opposite sides was devised to inflict maximum pain to the victim since  each side of the elbows and knees have different types of nervous system hence they would feel different pain.
Thousands of Iranians were executed in this fashion early in Islam’s reign in Iran. Two most famous people that were executed according to the above verse were:
Babaak Khorramdin in 224 Islamic year and Bayazid Bastami, an 81 year old philosopher whose crime was introducing his version of evolution to his students. He was executed in 261 Islamic Lunar Calendar (9th century AD).

The above verses are an excerpt from “The Meaning of Holy Quran” by Abdullah Yusuf Ali of Egypt.
