Apostasy Punishment in Islam

[Hadji]

Bismillah Alrahman Alraheem:


ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَجَادِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ


Ahmed, shouldn't you know this verse better than the rest of us that are here. Why? Well, because the amount of scripture that you rely on as religious guidance is a lot more limited than the rest of us.


By the way, are there any books or scholars that you see as some sort of authority? Having <b>only</b> the Qur'an as your only authority makes Islam a lot less of a religion in my opinion. By disregarding the authentic hadeeths, which as the article has mentioned, holds something like 95% of Islamic religious rulings, Islam seems to be extremely similar to Christianity when it comes to interpretation.


When I talk to Protestants, they rarely ever agree about what specific verses are talking about. They disagree on major issues like God's nature and more minor issues like the judgment of the Gentiles that came before Christ.


In my opinion, the reason is because they don't have much to fall back on other than the Bible itself. Not only are a lot of verses vague, but they don't have much to refer to. The result is that every Protestant has his own version of Christianity.


Anyways, I really hope that we can agree upon the meaning which is carried by verse 125 from Al-Nahl. In any case, please treat those that you are trying to convince of your beliefs with respect.

to parrot what you have been brainwhashed with while yet refusing to prove what you are parroting?

I don't see this as appropriate behavior for a person who sees the Qur'an as his authority.


"Cornering" your opponent and "exposing their confusion" doesn't win converts. It only proves that you are better with your tongue when it comes to games. Truth does a much better job than word-play in the end.


If you are still willing to have a respectable debate, then I am sure that I will benefit a good deal from it.


Thanks.
