:salam2:
I heard that if you change ur religion from Islam to some other religion the punishment is death is that TRUE? or some people just passing along false accusations
LIke personally, everyone choses their own path if someone wants to go to Hell and not follow the path to heaven then who are we to judge
Islam tells us that life of a human is very precious, i think it was Omar (as) or Abu Bakhar (as) that looked at the kaba and said kaba your so valuable but a human life is more precious (please correct me if wrong)
thx
If Muslims know their religion and are knowledged, they wouldn't leave Islam in first place. If the corrupt western imposed governments in the Islamic world allowed the people to be really Muslims, no one would one leave. Why would anyone who submitted to the will of God want to leave after if the person did it voluntarily? The truth is that the so called "ex Muslims" are not so at all but are rather people who may have been born in a majority Muslim country, to ignorant Muslim families and societies yet then claim to be "ex Muslims". I have never met a person who know Islam and believed yet decided to renounce it. It starts with education, knowledge and understanding of Islam.
Islam is the only perfect way of life and only Islam gives the answers to the questions and concerns of every non-believer. The only way a Muslim would leave this deen is due to ignorance, misunderstanding, misconception or purely stupid. Other religions, idealogies, philosophies and systems do not offer truth, honesty and real success or else the people in the west wouldn't have some of the highest social depression rates, drug abuse, suicide and other crucial issues. I can gurantee and I would challenge any "ex Muslim" to a dialogue in front of a huge crowd to expose that person. However, if I was ignorant of Islam, my country and government was oppressive and poor, there was violence in my community and I had a esire for this dunya, of course I would renounce such a religion too, but that is not Islam and the people are not knowledged Muslims.
I don't want to judge but I am just stating some of the points that have to be clarified. A person who accepts Islam on his/her own will never and has never left Islam. Educated Muslims, knowledged and God fearing people have never left Islam. The person who leaves Islam was either ignorant or as in the case of our prophet's time, some would renounce it because they didn't like something and because they were greedy or had love for the dunya more.
In the end it is Allah (swt) that guides people and He is not in need of our worship or anything, but we need Him and we have to worship Him if we want to succeed. Although, most of the so called Muslim countries have the death penalty for apostates, there is no such evidence in the Quran and many scholars do not agree with that position. But, if those Muslim countries were so proud and so Islamic, they wouldn't be puppets for the west, they wouldn't be oppressive, they wouldn't make the people poor and keep them ignorant and they sure as heck wouldn't be secular. Why don't they apply the real sharia, which is for all times and the perfect and best of systems, if they are so Islamic?
Having a Muslim majority country with a dictatorship in charge and calling it "Islamic" doesn't make it a truly Islamic state. If Muslims knew their deen and had real Islamic governments, no Christian would be able to run his mouth about apostates and other crap. They are able to criticize because those countries aren't Islamic and many of the Muslims there are uneducated or better said somewhat ignorant of Islam.
May Allah guide us all, make us devoted and increase our knowledge of Islam and grant us the best of both worlds, inshaAllah, Amin.
