Jihad series: Does the Quran's "verse of the sword" advocate forced conversion? Part 1
Channel: Navigate Islam
Date: 2017-04-01

This video is one of two parts that address Q.9:5, often termed the "verse of the sword." Many believe it overrules all peaceful verses in the Qur'an and advocates forced conversion of non-Muslims to Islam. The video explores whether this understanding is consistent with the context in which it was revealed as well as the interpretive traditions articulated by many scholars.
