again does those verse mention jews and the christians?
The translations specifically refer to Jews and Christians:
Sahih International: those who were given the Scripture
Pickthall: those who have been given the Scripture
Yusuf Ali: (even if they are) of the People of the Book
Shakir: those who have been given the Book
Muhammad Sarwar: those People of the Book
Mohsin Khan: the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)
Arberry: those who have been given the Book
Fight those who do not believe in Allah ( God )
Fight those who do not believe in God..... do christians, jews and pagans do not believe in god? ( atheists )
Quran 9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
this verse simply saying to fight atheists who were fighting the muslims
before islam word Allah use by Pagan's arab, jews and christians BUT ( arab's atheists do not believe in Allah NOR judgement day ) ( NOR follow the religion of truth--> ie people of the book--> jews and christians and MUSLIMS ) until atheists pay the tax and acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
the verse Quran 9:29 does not say to fight those who BELIEVE in god (in arabic Allah) and last day
NOTE: jews and christians BELIEVE in Allah and last day ( judgement day )
why did allah say to fight atheists AT the TIME of the prophet?
arab's atheists were THE MOST violent opposer of the prophet
