168. Is striving and fighting against people of a different faith seen as something that is basically good?
the Bible No
Yes the Quran
the Bible's Perspective
Galatians 5:19-21Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practise such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
James 4:1Where do wars and fightings amongst you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
James 4:8Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.
the Quran's Perspective
Al-Tawba (Repentance) 9:41Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.
Al-Ankabut (The Spider) 29:6And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.
As-Saff (The Ranks) 61:11Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know.
