Reading the Koran Islam is the most recent of the three most widespread monotheistic religions (Christianity and Judaism respectively). He is considered by believers to be the greatest combination of the other two and presents elements of Christian and Jewish biblical figures in his works; especially in the stories of God's wrath as I will illustrate later. Two characters from the books of Christianity and Judaism play particularly important roles in Islam; Abraham is the only prophet revered by all three and is the link that connects Islam to Jerusalem and the angel Gabriel is said to be the one who revealed the Quran to the prophet Muhammad. According to the Muslim holy book, the Quran 'an, which is believed to be the direct recitation of God's words through Muhammad, there is a very strict division between believers and non-believers. The treatment of one versus the other is very different. Non-believers can be identified by their specific traits. The Quran says: “God has cast his curse, leaving them deaf and blind…[and they will do] evil in the land and violate the ties of blood” (Muhammad, 47, par. 15). They follow falsehood and participate in all forbidden acts, including idol worship and, most egregiously, usury. When a faithful Muslim encounters a non-believer in battle, he should cut off his head and bind him securely. Then they should grant them freedom or take a ransom from them (Muhammad, p. 357, par. 3). However, Muslims should not fight unless they are fighting for Allah. Above all, they should not argue with each other. Muslims should not raise their voices, mock or defame each other, nor should they spy on each other (The Chambers, 49; par. 1). When they get into disagreements with other believers, they should... paper......unbelievers change their ways. In Muhammad, God reminds each of his past wrath with the statement: “Did they never pass through the land and see what was the end of those who were before them? God destroyed them completely. A similar fate awaits non-believers, because God is the protector of the faithful: because non-believers have no protector." (Muhammad, 47:10). When the world is free from evil, it will become the kingdom God envisioned it to be. Ultimately, the Quran has a very strong division between the fate of believers and that of non-believers and makes it very clear that non-believers have no place. It also strictly defines how they should be considered. The Quran attempts to present God as a righteous figure who believes in peace among believers but firmly advocates the death of non-believers who are not redeemed when given the chance..
