Can anyone document where al-taqiyah is sacnctioned by Islam?

My understanding is it started when Muhammad sent one of his followers into an enemy camp with instructions to say he was leaving Muhammad and wishes to join the other group (Meccans?) Once trusted, he was to kill the enemy chief. The mission was successful.

Many non-Muslims cannot fathom a religious leader sanctioning such subterfuge. But I cannot find it in my Qur'an. I also couldn't find it searching U. of Michigan's Qur'an (using takkiyat as the spelling). [Arabs spell the same word so many different ways, it's as if they're trying to hide something.]

At any rate, if someone could document in which Sura and verse or which Hadith Taqiyah is mentioned, I would appreciate it.

I have never read the qur'an and don't intend to. As I said, I cannot vouch for the truth of the "facts" in the article, but I posted it just in case it might help explain a few things. That's why I urged everyone to read the article critically.

Arabs use consisten spellings for their words. It's actually the non-Arabs like yourself that spell words like taqiyyah many different ways. Perhaps you are trying to hide something.

The variations in spelling come from transliterating Arabic into Roman letters. Transliterations always result in various spelling variants (it works that way for Hebrew too).
