I enjoy this debate. I can see some people trying to deny the killing of apostates in muslim countries, but this is a normal occurence. It is a treasonable offense to leave islam in most islamic countries.

Radical muslims will justify and accept the fact, moderate muslims (who see it naturally wrong) will try to deny the practice.

I quite understand the arguements better now. To the "debators" could you please shed light on Quran 16: Vs 44
There are several verses in the Qur'an that are similar to it,but let's start from here.
@cloudstar raised an issue as well,where was 5 daily mentioned as per salat in the Qur'an. And I'l like to add, where are the instructions concerning the postures and what to recite in the different postures of salat mentioned as well?
I wouldn't want to use hadiths , since you don't believe in the books of hadiths.

as ssalaamualaykum. i am guessing the it is the ask statement part of verse 44 you have issue cleared about. it is always better to read any verse in context, even the verse is in itself a complete message. a bigger message in the chapter and of course same theme but biggest message in the whole Quran.


Chapter 16. An-Nahl Verse 41 - 50 (of 128) Section 6 of 16
[16:41] As for those who have forsaken their homes for the sake of Allah after enduring persecution, We shall certainly grant them a good abode in this world; and surely the reward of the Hereafter is much greater. If they could but know (what an excellent end awaits) [16:42] those who remain steadfast and put their trust in their Lord. [16:43] (O Muhammad), whenever We raised any Messengers before you, they were no other than human beings; (except that) to them We sent revelation. So ask those who possess knowledge if you do not know. [16:44] We raised the Messengers earlier with Clear Signs and Divine Books, and We have now sent down this Reminder upon you that you may elucidate to people the teaching that has been sent down for them, and that the people may themselves reflect. [16:45] Do those who have been devising evil plans (against the mission of the Messenger) feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them up or that chastisement will not come upon them from a direction that they will not even be able to imagine; [16:46] or that He will not suddenly seize them while they are going about to and fro and they will be unable to frustrate His design, [16:47] or that He will not seize them when they are apprehensive of the impending calamity? Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. [16:48] Do the people not see how the objects Allah has created cast their shadows right and left, prostrating themselves in utter submission to Allah? [16:49] All living creatures and all angels in the heavens and on the earth are in prostration before Allah; and never do they behave in arrogant defiance. [16:50] They hold their Lord, Who is above them, in fear, and do as they are bidden.

and the prophet [SA] never asked those that had possessed knowledge of prophets and revelations in their mist [nation of Israel], because he believed and relied on Allah, completely without any reservation. the prophet [SA] was not commanded, but Allah assurance of what Muhammad [SA] was given. further, it applies to us as Quran does applies to us. we should ask those who possess knowledge among our Islamic community of matters not clear to us.


finally, prophet Musa [AS] was shown Khidar from his community with possession of the knowledge that Musa [AS] didn't have as it is related in Surah Kahf.


Allah [definitely] Knows Best [of all affairs and matters].

'muslim countries' is not "Islam [Quran and Sunnah/Hadith]". the reason there is action considered as a sin is when muslim does something unIslamic.

You do not understand Islam\quran\hadith than muslim clerics in saudi arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. I'm pretty sure that you brand of Islam is considered fake by the countries i mentioned.

@true2god; be true to yourself, first. if your christianity is not considered to be fake by the vatican that practices celibacy which is not commanded by 'son of man', the uk that gave you kj bible, the germans of martin luther, the amerians that are beating down the doors of all of us infidels because we are not christians, how can you know about my islam when Allah is the Only One Who knows? His Prophet [SA] had the honor of being the one it is completed upon what started with Adam[AS], steadily maturing to adulthood and completeness, all the way passing through Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus [AS]. it is this prophet [SA] that i follow, today whereby i am able to believe the prophetic offices of those before [AS] him [SA]. i am neither following saudi arabia nor iran or any land, but what is islam of Muhammad [SA]. God rejects all 'ways' as a column but ordains Islam of Muhammad [SA] instead as the only way since He had nurtured it to the height of maturity being the peak of all the previous stages of Islam that occurred under those before him [SA], which included Jesus son of Mary [AS].

i do not subscribe to saudi arabia though Makka and Madina are important to me, dont subscribe to iran, afghanistan, pakistan, you name it. not even the yoruba that its water was the first on my lips, and the blood of its people flows in my veins.


islam is built on 5. none of it is saudi arabia, iran, afghanistan, pakistan or yoruba. what is Islam is clear.

Anytime you guys have difficulty in argument possed before you the next thing is to attack christians. Is that wat ur Imams tell u guys to do? I mentioned core Islamic countries where leaving islam is considered a treason the next is for you to start mention the vatican, uk, the germans etc. Death to apostastes is a part and parcel of islamic teachings, any cultural muslim that leaves islam is to be killed.

If you are a yoruba muslim i do not expect you to believe or accept this weird practice cos it is strange to yoruba culture but not strange to the arabs, the custodian of islamic culture and religion. Note that these countries i mentiond practice sharia law to the extreme (their ullamahs understand the quran\hadith than you).

show me where i attacked christianity in what i wrote, otherwise, you do not know the real definition of 'attack'.

core Islam simply follow Quran and Sunnah, their own make up ideology. today we do not have kalifah anywhere which shows that your core Islamic country label is not core Islamic country to this muslim. ask any muslim if core Islamic country should have anything other than what Islam recommends/what Muhammad [SA] presented from his Lord and why are core Islamic countries; Iran and Saudi Arabia, are completely different in Islamic process or did the prophet [SA] bring but 1 Islamic process if each is truly core islamic country?

i personally know many arabic scholars and none of them have complained about my Islam. i have spoken to arabs, today and i will still do so after jumu'ah prayers. so, Islam is not by ethnicity. Muhammad [SA] came for the arabs and non arabs which is why he is the prophet for all [Al Ajami].

none of these countries truly practice sharia and there are blacks who can school arabs when it comes to Islam. hope you know there is a nigerian block teaching in University of Madina?

So who is wrong? Core Islamic countries that treat apostasy as a treason or liberal Islamic countries that do not care much about apostasy.

By social behavior, u will agree with me, the yorubas and the hausas are different, which also go a long way in defining their reactions to some emotionally sensitive issues. Virtually all yorubas have muslims and christians evenly represented in their families, so a yorubaman that chooses to leave christianity for Islam (or vice versa) is never view a big deal. But thats not the case for hausas\fulanis\arabs whose population are predominantly muslims and who (unlike the yorubas), follow the quran and varios reliable hadith to the latter.

The following quranic verses are usually quoted for the justification of killing apostates: quran 4:89, quran 9:11-12, Quran 9:66 and some other verses.
The following are hadith that justify the practice:Bukhari 52:260, 83:37, 84:57, 89:271 and some other verses.

So i can tell you that your argument runs contrary to what is applicable in muslim countries where Islam is the state or official religion.

@ RoyPcain, you seem to be running a damage control or image laundry services for Islam. I am not against the killing of apostate if that is what your religion stipulates, but you will only do a disservice to Islam if you attempt to misinterprete the quran in order to make Islam look attractive or feel cool to non-muslims.

True, a verse in the quran says 'there is no compulsion in religion' quran 2:256, but many other verses (and hadith) justify killing apostates.

If you want to practice a religion, then you have to believe all its tenets without any attempt to cusmetize it to make it appear the way it isn't, especially in this digital age when all man can have access to quran and hadith in the confort of his home right in his laptop and can equally get cross-reference from the internet (and most importantly in english language).

Sharaapp...dont try to twist things to your own satisfaction....Stooopid Kafir

If you dont have anything to say, just beat it
You dont have a point and could you tell me what i am twisting? I gave you countries where leaving Islam is considered a treason and what i expected you to do is to refute the allegations with facts. In those countries there is no separation of religion from the state. A child born in saudi arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc is automatically a muslim and if the child grows up and decide to switch religion he is going against the state. That action is considered treason and punishable by death. So hw am i twisting.

Go through the quranic verses and the hadith i gave you, you will understand why saudi arabia and the rest made apostasy law. You dont need to deny the obvios. If you are a muslim living in Lagos, Nigeria you dont have problem converting to christianity, but it is suicidal for a muslim living in saudi arabia to do same.

Aside from changing religion, it a death penalty if i should 'insult' mohammed (even if he did what i insulted him for) in a muslim country.

You seem hell bent on promoting ignorance that is unfounded, there are christians in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even Iraq, chidren born by parents of the christian faith automatically become christians, that is leaving Islam to another religion is something that Allah clearly says in the Qur'an, there is no compulsion in religion, and the prohet further stated that actions shall be judge according to intention, once someone decides to leave Islam, there is no force on earth that can change him since his intention has automatically make him a non muslim, so yes u are twisting Islam teachings when u state your own position.

Yes, but Islam such laws are not in accordance with the Shariah, as one can convert to another religion as long as it is done in a subversive manner, then the apostacy law becomes relevant but sentencing someone to death for just converting is not Islamic.
