There is a misconception about Muhammad's peace treaty, which was not
exactly a "Peace". There was a term and condition or face retaliation from Muslims.
Islamic Peace means: Converting to Islam.
1. It wasn't about “Peace" with non-Muslims.
2. Breaching of the "Peace" treaty means Those who broke Allah's covenant.
2. Breaching of the "Peace" treaty means Those who broke Allah's covenant.
What is the covenant in the Islamic version?
An agreement with Allah and Muhammad to be Islamic followers.
Allah claimed that he had destroyed the people of Pharaoh for rejecting his signs as an example to frighten Muhammad's followers.
Allah also insulted those who disbelieved (rejecting) him in Quran 8:55;
نَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
إِالدَوابّ = riding animals (example: horse, mule, donkey)
"Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not believe -
For an
example:
As Muslim converts' (or already Muslim), you must pledge loyalty to Allah and Muhammad as commanded in the Quran.
Let us take a look at Quran Chapter Al-Anfal (Medinan Revelation)
54. Allah uses the people of Pharaoh as an example who refuses
to acknowledge the so-called Allah as God and his revelation.
55. Allah got very upset; he cursed those who refused to acknowledge him.
56. This is a treaty part: Allah was very mad towards those who had made a treaty (covenant) but decided to become an apostate.
==> Tafsir for Quran verses 8:55-57 <==
59. Allah was vengeful towards disbelievers.
60. Allah
commanded to instil fear against his enemy.
This
chapter is all about waging war against disbelievers in their territory until
they are willing to convert.
Please
continue to read the rest of the verses and refer to Ibn Al Kathir's exegesis (tafsir)
for more detail.
