Aidid Safar's Use Of "Overcome" Instead Of "K
-
peace,
his version
Then when the prohibited months are over, you may overcome the idol worshipers wherever you may find them. You shall capture them, encircle them and watch them carefully at every place and if they repent and uphold their obligations (sol-laa-ta wa-atu-zakaa) and keep them pure then give them (the polytheists) the freedom to move around. Surely God is Forgiver, Merciful (Chapter 9 Verse 5)free-minds version
So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill those who have set-up partners wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and hold the assembly, and contribute towards betterment, then you shall leave them alone. God is Forgiving, Merciful.find it somewhere within herehttp//www.free-minds.org/Arab_Conspiracy.html
it seems to me that "overcome" fits in there better then "kill" does, along within the rest of sura 9 too, can somebody verify this for me? this isn't the question of who is right about salat or zakat but which is the right word to use? kill or overcome?
peace
