Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:Please refrain from taking the Lord's Name in vain.
This is your own imagination FHC, please, I beg you to refrain from accusing me by taking God’s name in vain… (<i>a quick reminder, Lord does not always mean God, plus Jesus pbuh is not God</i>) if you understand the verses <i>YOUR WAY</i>, its fine, but don’t force me to believe in your interpretation which does not make sense to me, and dont try to show us that you and only you can interpret the Bible.
Quote:Is that a yes or a no to my original question... Would Dr Zakir Naik (not wel_mel_2) modify his statement: "Islam condemns the killing of human beings" when dealing with Apostates?
If the answer's 'yes', then he's contradicting himself. If the answer's 'no', then he doesn't share your view on apostasy.
You simply did not understand the article, (<i>or you are trying to be picky again to find some faults</i>) the article deals with Non Muslims <b>and NOT apostates</b>. If you want to hear his opinion on apostasy let me know.
meanwhile, please re read, or read scholars explanation regarding apostasy. IslamOnline.Net Apostasy
Quote:Regardless of who's better or worse. It's a matter of teaching with authority. Muhammad is dead (PBUH)
Before the Prophet's death he said:
"I have left amongst you two things which, if you hold fast to them, you will never stray, The Qur'an and my Sunnah”
So, we may respect scholars views and opinion, <b>but If such views go against the Word of Allah, or the Sunnah of His Prophet, then they carry no weight, regardless of how learned the scholar might be</b>. I hope you can be able to get this.
Salam
Wael.
