Q: I have a question regarding ayah 9:28. In this ayah Allah Ta’ala says:
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
Now I have a question, since this is question for those who believe in holy books, (previous books, bible, torah, zabur, injeel) e.t.c. I would like to ask, christians and jews do believe in the Last day and Allah (swt). They also quite follow Ibrahim (as)’s teaching aswell.
Could you please clarify this?
A: We suggest that you refer to your local ulama. Maybe they will in a better position to clear your doubts.
