Islamic texts says behead apostates, My question to muslims is, “Do you agree with this punishment for apostates”


The word apostate in Arabic is murtaddand one who apostatizes is called man artadd 'an dinihi, i.e. "Who turns his back on religion."

Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17:Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

Qur'an 3:90-91 Sahih International also warns
Indeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.

This means that if you reject islam and you decide to “repent” and come back to islam, you will not accepted.


Two words are used for apostasy in Moslem law: irtidadand ridda. The latter term relates to apostasy from Islam into unbelief, kufr; the former, from Islam to some other religion, for example, Christianity.

The passages in the Koran dealing with apostasy are the chapter of Women, verse 90; the chapter of the Table, verse 59; and the chapter of the Bee, verse 108, viz:

"Why are ye two parties about the hypocrites, when God hath overturned them for what they earned? Do ye wish to guide those whom God hath led astray? Whoso God hath led astray ye shall not surely find for him a path. They would fain that ye misbelieve as they misbelieve, that ye might be alike; take ye not patrons from among them until they too fight in God's way; but if they turn their backs, then seize them wheresoever ye and them, and take from them neither patron nor help" (IV. 90, 91).

"O ye who believe! Whoso is turned away from his religion-God will bring (instead) a people whom He loves and who love Him, lowly to. believers, lofty to unbelievers, strenuous in the way of God, fearing not the blame of him who blames" (V.59).



Muslims reading this, how can you identify with a religion that is so insecure with it self? Do you support this apostasy law, tartar9 as a vocal supporter of orthodox islam, you can answer first?

when men starts following words written in a book as the final word on Truth instead of the truth embedded in every man's heart that is the beginning of crises and chaos as seen in the world today .

the laws of God are deeply embedded in every man's heart and the ultimate law still remains the law of Love. love God and love your neighbour more than your self and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
very simple laws but very difficult for many to accept

This is quite deep. I believe its called moral law which is programmed into all human.

This is why every human instinctively knows some things are wrong without being told.

This is also why a lot of muislims are not terrorists.
Even tho their quran recommends jihad, moral law dictates that killing another human is wrong, sleeping with kids is wrong (tho their prophet did it), chopping of hands is wrong etc this is why most muslims are afraid of sharia law.
