O you who believe! Take not the Jews or Christians for bosom friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who takes them for bosom friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guides not wrongdoing folk. (Surah 5:51)

 

And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. (Surah 8:39)

 

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. (Surah 9:5)

 

And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieve of old. Allah (himself) fights against them. How perverse are they! (Surah 9:30)

 

O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him). (Surah 9:123)

 

 

 

 

 

There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejects false deities and believes in Allah has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. (Surah 2:256)

 

Lo! those who believe (in that which is revealed unto you, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Chrisitians, and Sabaeans, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does right, surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. (Surah 2:62)

 

O humankind! Lo! We have created you male and female and made you nations and tribes, so that you might come to know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware. (Surah 49:13)

 

And unto you have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah has revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which has come unto you. To each of you We have given a law and a way and a pattern of life. If God had pleased He could surely have made you one people [professing one faith]. But He wished to try and text you by that which He gave you. So try to excel in good deeds. To Him will you all return in the end, when He will tell you how you differed. (Surah 5:48)
