Surah 61

Surah 61:1

"Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies God. He is the Mighty, the Wise."

Sūra 61 is well-known by many because it makes a number of striking claims about ‘Īsā, the quranic Jesus. This sūra also presents the belief that Allah not only allows fighting but approves those who “fight in his way.” Here “the messenger” is a “conqueror of all religion.”
