Question

Rashad Khalifa’s “Quran Code” led him to reject two verses from this chapter that tell of the Prophet’s anxiety for the (15[1])believers, which Zaid ibn Thabit reported only being recalled by Khuzayma ibn Thabit. A verse of this surah that lists captives, debtors, and wayfarers is read as delineating the eight asnaf who should benefit from zakat. This chapter likely refers to the Biblical Ezra in its thirtieth (15[1])verse’s (-5[1])repudiation of the notion that the (*) son of God is Uzair. This surah is often considered (-5[1])a direct continuation of al-Anfal, its immediate predecessor. The command, “When the sacred months are over,” to “slay the idolators (10[1]-5[1])wherever (10[1])you find them” appears in the fifth verse of this (10[1])surah, the only one that does not begin with the Bismillah. (-5[1])For 10 points, identify this surah in which the “sword verse” is found, often named for its instructions about those who turn from idolatry. (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[10])

ANSWER: Sūrat Al-Tawbah [or Sūrat Al-Bara’ah; or The Repentance; or The Repudiation; or surah 9; or the ninth surah; or The Ultimatum; or The Immunity; or The Dispensation; accept sura or surah in place of “surat”] (Verses clued are, in order, 9:129-130, 60, 30, and 5.)
