Coming to one's own conclusions
Question
There is a verse in Suratul Baqaraah of the Quran where Allah (Ta'ala) said the infidels should be killed. A friend of my mine has asked me the meaning of this verse and I told him that the infidels referred to are those that attack you first. Am sincerely not sure of this answer. I need the right answer.
Answer
The Qur'aan Shareef is not for people like you to read and arrive at their own conclusions. Conclusions will be arrived by those who have specialised knowledge of the Qur'aan.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
