In the Name of God - Father Son Holy Spirit
Ez-Zayak Wael? Insha'Allah kair. I hope you & your family had a happy & holy eid. We've missed you!
I can live with the fact that Muslims revere Muhammad (PBUH) as the last messenger.
I can live with the fact that Muslims believe the Holy Quran is the final revelation of God Almighty.
I can live with the fact that Muslims don't commemorate Jesus Christ's Passion, Death & Resurrection.
I can sort of live with the fact that under Sharia Law, I'd be treated like a second class citizen (I'm still tossing this one up).
But I can't live with the fact that somewhere in the Quran or Hadith or wherever, Allah commands that apostates & infidels (in some cases) be sentenced to death. What are the chances of these teachings being disregarded in Islam?
Mate, I can't recall reading Dr Al Qaradawi's explanation yet (if I have I can't remember, sorry). When did you send me the link? Are you sure you haven't got me confused with someone else?
Hey Unit, what's doing?
After careful observation, I'm predicting that you're one step away from planning a pilgrimage to Mecca. Start practising the Testimony of Faith, dude, "There is no God but Allah & Muhammad is His messenger."
My Muslim friends, if someone casually says the Shahadah out loud without full intent, are they automatically reverted?
Thanks :)
God bless.
