The authoritative and wholly Islamic sources tell us that, following Muhammad's "shameful"<ref>Francis Edwards Peters,Muhammad and the Origins of Islam, SUNY Press, p.169</ref> verbal attacks on the native pagan beliefs, the Quraysh still had hopes for reconciliation. They would visit Muhammad with different proposals of compromise so that he could accepted one of them and the dispute between them would be brought to a peaceful end. In response, Muhammad recited surat al-Kafirun, declaring his "rejection of all that which they worship" and showing that "disbelievers are [all] one people ... because disbelief in all its many manifestations has one thing in common – that is, falsity". This response was then later [[Abrogation |abrogated]] by verse ordering Muslims to physically attack disbelievers, and "the Prophet (pbuh) did fight them." | |||
