Opi:
I'll go into more detail if you wish over the weekend, as I'll have more time for reading and to research your response. (sorry, it's the Astronaut in me that likes to really understand topics in detail)
I do not claim to be an expert on the Islamic faith. In my research, I found more on the quotes I asked you about. As you recall, I mentioned that things can be misinterpreted and taken out of context, which is why I requested your clarification since you say you are Muslim (or, as you recall.. I also asked anyone else to chime in) as you would know more about your faith than I.
As per your response...... you said:

Your first citation is "Qu'ran 39". This is not the right way to cite a verse from the holy book. You must have the chapter name or number and verse number. Example: Al-Baraqa 50. Al-Baraqa is the chapter name. 50 is the specific verse. Or you can write it like so..surah 2 (which is Al-Baraqa):50. There is no chapter in the Quran named Quran. Therefore the first quote you gave me wasINCORRECT.

Thank you for explaining that. So am I to understand that there is no such quote in the Qu'ran? Or do you mean it is just referenced incorrectly? This is why I was holding off on posting.. I am researching this more.

Your second citation is "Ishaq:587". There is no chapter called "Ishaq". In fact, the closest sounding chapter is "Al-Ishiqaq". I thought this was a good-faith mistake until I looked at the verse #. 587. The longest chapter in the Quran is Al-Baraqa. It contains 286 verses. Let me repeat this in case you missed it. There is no chapter and no such verse in the Quran

From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, (as I have explained that I'm still just learning about the Islamic religion, but was alarmed at the quotes I came across)... Ishaq:587 comes from Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah
http://onlineislamicstore.com/b3828.html a biography which composes the account of Muhammad's life and the beginnings of the religion. Is that correct, or am I mistaken? I could very well be.
And finally, is it true Mohammed's final words to his disciples were, "I was ordered to fight all men until they say, "There is no god but Allah."
