God's advise to Muhammad on propagating Islam
As similarly explained in my previous response, where I showed you that the two Noble Verses that ordered the Muslims to fight the disbelievers came for a particular time and for a particular war, this case here is the same thing !.
For Noble Verses 8:38-39, Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to fight the pagans of Mecca and the hypocrites from the Jews and Christians who entered Islam and deserted it afterwards to create doubts in the Muslims' hearts and to make them think that Islam is not a religion worth adopting.
Noble Verses 8:38-39 came for the same exact reason as Noble Verses 2:190-191 "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.
And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith."
Noble Verses 8:38-39 and 2:190-191 came for special purposes and for limited times only !. The Muslims in the city of Medina used to face continuos wars from the Pagans and the Jews and Christians. The Muslims had absolutely no choice !.
Despite all the hard conditions that the Muslims faced, Allah Almighty still ordered them "...not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors."
It is easy for an anti-Islamic to come today and to twist the truth about the Noble Quran and to show Islam as a religion of transgressing, compulsion and battles, when in reality Islam is quite the opposite of that !.
