The results of the study stated that: First, Islam as a religion of mercy always invites its people to build an attitude of tolerance towardanyone and remain vigilant, firm, and courageous. Second, in the hermeneuticsemantic view, these two verses are better understood as motivational verses so that they cannot be interpreted as verses that legalize violence and hatred against other than Islam. Third, lafadz asyidda in Q.S. Al-Fath/48:29 contains other meanings besides meaning violence, in this research lafadz asyidda also has its own meaning, including firmness, firmness here is certainly measured by how much tolerance level a person has, the environment and globally.
