Quran 9:29 says:
> **Sahih International:** Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His
> Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of
> truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they
> give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
>
> **Yusuf Ali:** Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His
> Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are)
> of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing
> submission, and feel themselves subdued.
How is this ayat be interpreted? Does it mean that Muslims are responsible to physically fight non-believers?
