QURAN 4:90 MENTIONS ALLAH HAS NOTHING TO BE AGAINST NON-MUSLIMS WHEN THEY NOT FIGHT

The words from Plato:

The title to your post "QURAN SUPPORTS THAT THOSE THAT BELIEVE & DO GOOD DEEDS/RIGHTEOUS DEEDS BE SAVED" is wrong.

004.116 YUSUFALI: Allah forgiveth not (The sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sins than this: one who joins other gods with Allah, Hath strayed far, far away (from the right).

004.048 YUSUFALI: Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed

The only real wrong-doing in the eyes of Allah is not believing in His solitary glory. Everything else is forgivable. Read the many verses you have also quoted where Allah emphasizes that what He cares about most and what He loves most is acceptance by humans that He is One. That is all Allah is really bothered about.

Your explanation contradicts Quran 4:90 that mentions that Allah has open no way for us, muslims, to have war against non-muslims if non-muslims withdraw from fighting with us. For instance, if Allah is very particular with muslims, he would command muslims to fight even though non-muslims withdraw from fighting with us. However, as Allah calls up not to fight when non-muslims stop fighting with us, it implies that Allah would not bother to look into the past whether you do fight with Allah.

The following is the extract:

Quan 4:90, "....if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). "

Don't you find you have contradicted the teaching of Holy Quran!

You have mentioned that:

The title to your post "QURAN SUPPORTS THAT THOSE THAT BELIEVE & DO GOOD DEEDS/RIGHTEOUS DEEDS BE SAVED" is wrong.

However, your words have contradicted Quran 54:3 since you mentioned that Quran does not suppot those mulims that do evil deeds will go to hell. Or in other words, those that believe and do goods deeds/righteous deeds will be saved.

The following is the extract:

Quran 54:3, "They belied (the Verses of Allah - this Qur'an), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled (according to the kind of deeds: good deeds will take their doers to paradise, and similarly evil deeds will take their doers to hell). "
