Latest revision as of 00:54, 14 November 2025
The disbelievers, their sins, and their fate in the afterlife is one of the Qur'an's most strikingly prominent themes. On almost every page, the reader of the Qur'an is confronted with the "doom" (بئس المصير) and "painful torment" (عذاب أليم) that awaits the disbelievers in the afterlife, in their eternal abode, "the fire" (النار). The Quran urges the believers to fight those who oppress them until they cease. One of the last surahs states that treaty-breakers must convert, seek asylum, or die, and that People of the Book be fought until they pay the protection tax and "feel themselves subdued" (Qur'an 9:29). Jihad against the disbelievers was interpreted by scholars in a developing imperial context to support offensive warfare. The Qur'an warns the believers not to take certain disbelievers as close allies, and prohibits the marriage of believers to disbelievers (though this verse is traditionally considered partially abrogated by another permitting believing men to marry Christian and Jewish women). The hadith and the sira underline this hostility by portraying many instances of the prophet and his companions killing and torturing disbelievers, and constantly warring against the unbelief of the pagan Meccans and their Jewish allies, which to some extent may reflect the slightly later period of early conquests. This is exalted as the good and righteous policy of a believing Muslim state. According to the sunnah, the best the disbelievers can hope for under a Muslim government is the second-class citizenship of dhimmitude.

Non-Muslims are sub-human vile beasts, they are the worst of creatures
{Quran|8|55}} is often quoted as a similar verse, though the next verse qualifies the people referred to as treaty breakers.
Fighting
Invite People of the Book to convert to Islam, pay Jizyah or fight them
Fight and kill treaty breakers unless they repent, pray and pay zakat or seek asylum
If one amongst the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him, so that he may hear the word of Allah; and then escort him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge. How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Haram? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.Fight oppressors, but do not transgress
And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.
[Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers. And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause [for blame]. The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.
And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination."Let there be no compulsion in religion"
When the children of a woman (in pre-Islamic days) did not survive, she took a vow on herself that if her child survives, she would convert it a Jew. When Banu an-Nadir were expelled (from Arabia), there were some children of the Ansar (Helpers) among them. They said: We shall not leave our children. So Allah the Exalted revealed; "Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error."
Some classical scholars considered the verse abrogated, though generally it was understood as refering to the impossibility of coercing belief (see main article).
Damned to Hell
Non-Muslims are the fuel of Allah's fire in hell
Non-Muslims will be tortured for eternity, burned, scalded and beaten with iron maces
Allah
Allah has cursed non-Muslims
Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?
Allah does not guide or love non-Muslims
Those in whose hearts is a disease - thou seest how eagerly they run about amongst them, saying: "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." Ah! perhaps Allah will give (thee) victory, or a decision according to His will. Then will they repent of the thoughts which they secretly harboured in their hearts.
Allah despises, rejects and will disgrace non-Muslims
If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them; they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected.
Allah sees disbelievers as evil and only wrong-doers disbelieve
Allah will make the deeds of non-Muslims fruitless and will bring destruction on them
That is because they hate the Revelation of Allah. so He has made their deeds fruitless.
Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them (who did evil)? Allah brought utter destruction on them, and similar (fates await) those who reject Allah.

Jizyah
Fighting
Killing non-Muslim women and children is permissible as collateral damage
Muhammad disapproved of the killing of women and children during expeditions (also Sahih Muslim 1744a).
Although when asked, he excused the probable exposure of women and children to danger during an attack.
A more specific hadith quotes the same narrator stating that this involved women and children who were trampled over with horses during the attack:
"I was informed by As-Sa'b bin Jaththamah who said: " I said: "O Messenger of Allah our horses trampled over women and children of the idolaters." He said: "They are from their fathers.'"
[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.Jihad must be performed continuously from the creation of Islam to the coming of the Antichrist
Believers will outnumber other peoples through prolific childbirth
Only stay and eat with Muslims, because whoever joins a non-Muslim is like him
Scholars
Jizyah
Qisas
"A Muslim should not be killed for killing a non-Muslim." [At-Tirmithi]
Moreover, according to the view of the majority of the scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them the title (and rulings) “disbeliever” is applicable to a free non-Muslim under the Muslim rule. However, Abu Haneefah, and the scholars of his School of jurisprudence may Allaah have mercy upon them are of the view that a Muslim should be killed for killing a free non-Muslim under Muslim rule; their evidence is the two verses which the questioner mentioned.
Nonetheless, the correct opinion is that of the majority of the scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them that is based on the above Prophetic narration, which is a direct proof related to the case of dispute.
