Surah Al-Baqarah (2:2)

“This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.”

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286)

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.”

Surah At-Tawbah (9:71)

“The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong.”

Surah Al-Kahf (18:46)

“Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life, but the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward.”

Pick 2 from the list below. Search the sentence and explain the meaning:

Surah Al-Fatiha (1:2)

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:83)

Surah An-Nisa (4:36)

Surah Al-Anfal (8:61)

Surah Yunus (10:12)

Surah Ar-Ra’d (13:28)

Surah Ibrahim (14:7)

Surah Al-Isra (17:23)

Surah Maryam (19:96)

Surah Ash-Shura (42:40)

Surah Muhammad (47:4) reads as follows:

"So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and afterward either release them by grace or by ransom until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah—never will He waste their deeds."

The verse is tied to the Prophet Muhammad's time, specifically addressing the early Muslim community's engagement in defensive battles. It should be interpreted within that historical framework.
