Verse of the Sword in Quran Explained (Verse 9:5) | Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Many islamophobes try to falsely use the Qur'anic verse 9:5 to prove that Islam is a violent religion. In this talk Muslim theologian Dr. Yasir Qadhi explains how Muslim scholars in the past and present understand this particular verse.

The verse in question is as follows:

"And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [Qur'an 9:5]
