18: "Deaf, dumb and blind, so they will not turn back " The word "La Yarji'un" (will not turn back) confuses me. Does this word mean that once they die they will not be raised from their graves on the day of Qiyamah? If so, then how they will be rewarded for their good and bad deeds? A. It means 'hence they will return not from their darkness'. Q35.HOW THE NIGHT PASSES INTO DAY?

Sura 'Al 'Imran, verse 27: "Thou makest the night to pass into the day and………" What is the actual meaning of this verse? A. It refers to variations in the duration of nights and days in various seasons. It means "Thou causest the night to enter into day (so that the night become longer and the day shorter), and thou causest the day to enter into night (so that the day becomes longer and the night shorter).

The verse 9:5 of the Holy Qur'an reads "So when the sacred months are past then slay the idolaters wherever you find them; and seize them and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and establish prayer, and give the poor-rate, then leave their way to them............."

All this appeares to indicate that Islam may legally be spread by the sword. If not, please, Maulana, elaborate for me A. This order was given specifically in respect of the "Mushrikin" of Mecca, because they repeatedly broke their covenants with the Muslims. The 'ayat 8-10 and 13 amply show their attitude towards agreements and covenants. "How (can there be any alliance) while they overcome you they regard not in you any tie nor of any covenant ...

They pay not regard in the case of a believer, to any tie nor to any covenant.......... What will you not fight the people who violated their oaths ....and they attacked you first...." It…
