Interpretation of verse on taking Jews and Christians as friends
“In Surah Maidah, it says do not take Christians and Jews as friends. Now the alliance of Jews and Christians ruled by Zionism is ruling the world, and Muslim countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey have joined hands with US. How do you interpret this verse?”
“Quran has recorded a dialogue between Prophet Abraham and King Nimrod as under. When Abraham said 'My Lord is the One who gives life and causes death.' He said 'I give life and cause death.' Abraham said 'Indeed Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west' and so the disbelievers were overwhelmed. Doesn't this suggest that debate is also one of the types of dawah activities when adopted peacefully and sincerely?”
“Referring to your yesterday's lecture, I have a question: there are many things which people ask in dua but they don't receive them in this world. Then what does this ayat mean which says we have given everything you asked for?”
