Just a quick note on Islam and common comments made by christians about their faith.
A day or 2 ago someone joined the forum and proceeded to post vile pornographic material in the site.
A comment was made "he/she is not a christian". This is a common response by those defending their faith.
All Praise and thanks to Allah that our religion is one of mercy. If a muslim were to do something like that it would be a sin but not grounds for expulsion from the religion. Even if he were to slay a million people it would not expell him from the mercy of Allah. He would probably be in big trouble, but he's still muslim. Only Allah can judge.
In fact if we are to ever call a muslim a kafir (non-believer) on the day of Judgement that "hat" will sit on someone's head. If the brother we call a "kafir" turns out to be true - o.k. But if it be untrue then we will be labelled the kafir (unbeliever). Scary stuff.
Didn't Jesus warned the 'followers of the way' that if they call their brother a fool they themselves are in danger of the fire of hell?
This is the grounds for expulsion from Allah's mercy -
<b><i>Surely Allah does not forgive shirk (associating any partner with Him - e.g. Jesus); and may forgive sins other than that if He so pleases. This is because one who commits shirk with Allah, does indeed invent a great sinful lie. 4.48</i></b>
