III. Arguments and Rationale
I will now attempt to substantiate
the above mentioned premise. First, an attempt will be made to identify
the Disbelievers (Kuffar). Next the basis and source of their punishment
will be delineated. This will be followed by details of the preaching mission
of the Rusul4 (plural
of Rasul: Messengers) of God who became the agents of this punishment
so that the readers can view the whole act of retribution in its overall
perspective. Finally, the major directives which relate to the Kuffar
(Disbelievers)
and which have been erroneously extended to all non-Muslims shall be elaborated
upon.
a. Identifying the Disbelievers
b. Punishing the Disbelievers
c. The Preaching Mission of the
Messengers
d. Misplaced Directives
