I saw this web-site
This says that all schools hanfites, malikites, hanabalites and shafiites all believe that apostate should be killed. They also give references for this opinion.
Scholars of Islam can tell better.
The verse in the Quran re the above subject:
"O you who believe, if any of you reverts from his religion, then God will bring people whom He loves as they love Him, and humble
themselves towards the believers, while being stern towards the disbelievers; and strive in the cause of God; and never worry about
any blamer who might blame them. Such is God's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. God is bounteous, omniscient."
Enough said I think, how man wishes to use the message is not the fault of the mesage.
i can prove it from the koran that islam has no objection to changing of religion. thus i will hereby prove that the orthodox muslim belief of killing the one who leaves islam to convert to another religion is absolutely against the teachings of koran.
i will hereby challenge all the followers of molvi-ism to prove against it.
Maulana Modoodi believes, that anyone who turns away from islam must be killed:
"deen main koi jabar nahee, is ka matlab hai hum kisi ko apnay deen main aanay kay liye majboor nahee kertay, aur waqei hamari rawish yehi hai. magar jisay waapis jaana ho hum usay pehlay say khabardaar ker dete hain kay yeh darwaza aamad-o-ruft kay liye khulla huwa nahee hai. lihaza agar aatay ho to yeh faisla ker kay aao kay waapis nahee jaana hai warna baraah-e-karam aao hi nahee."
modoodi sahab's islam is like a mousetrap!
or in the words of a poet,
"aa to sakta hai chooha magar jaa nahee sakta"
how will thr molvis account for those who are born muslims. can they not say,
" it is true what you said, but dear sir, i havent come myself! i have been brought in! i was born as a muslim. i never knew this was a one way street. i never knew i would be born under modoodi's influence! what right do u have, to kill me? "
what possible replies will modoodi have?
the real koranic point of view is clear in the koran:
-- verse 1:
"they will not cease to fight with you, till they run you away from your religion, if they are able; and whosoever of you turns away from his religion, and dies disbeliving- their works have failed in this world, and the next. those are inhabitants of fire, therein they shall dwell forever." (-verse 218, chapter 2, the cow.)
-- verse 2:
"those who have turned back in thier traces, after guidance has become clear to them, satan it was, that tempted them." ( -verse 26, chapter 47, Mohammad)
-- verse 3:
"o believers! whosoever of you turns away from his religion, god will assuredly bring a people he loves, and who love him, humble towards tge believers, disdainful towards the unbelievers, men who struggle in the path of god, not fearing the reproach of any reproacher. That is god's bounty. He gives it unto whom he will. and god is all-embracing, all-knowing." ( -verse 55, chapter 5, the table.)
-- verse 4:
"Muhammad is naught but a messenger, messengers before him have passed away. If he should die or is slain, will you turn about on your heels? If any man should turn about on his heels, he will not harm god in any way. and god will recompense the thankful." ( verse 145, chapter 3, the house of imarn)
all the verses above have clearly stated that those who change their religion are not to be killed. if anyone still argues that islam believes in killing of those who leave islam and turn away, it would be very cruel of them.
So be on watch for a day when heaven shall bring a manifest smoke
covering the people; this is a painful chastisement. 'O our lord remove thou from us, the chastisement; we are believers.' How should they have the reminder? seeing a clear Messenger has already come to them, then they turned away from him, and said,' A man, tutored, possessed!"
( the koran, verse 11-14, chapter 44, Smoke, the nuclear explosion.)
