If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.

More quotes by Ibn Ishaq

I was told that the last injunction the apostle [Muhammad] gave [before his death] was in his words `Let not two religions be left in the Arabian peninsula."

I smashed RuDã’ so completely that
I left it a black ruin in a hollow.

Had you seen Muhammad and his troops
The day the idols were smashed when he entered,
You would have seen God’s light become manifest
And darkness covering the face of idolatry.”

Ishaq 969 - "Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons."

Ishaq 734 - "As for Ali, he said, 'Women are plentiful, and you can easily change one for another."
