The Truth about the Alleged Punishment for Apostasy in Islam — Page 171
171 details of the punishments meted out in England for apostasy and say that they now renounce all that. Similarly various other faiths that once held this belief, have now relinquished it. What a warped scenario is this that today among those who claim death penalty to be the punishment of apostasy, are none other than those who are associated with the Holy Prophet sa. Can a scenario more agonizing than this be imagined? There is a limit to everything. This situation has crossed all boundaries of ignorance. In the emotional reaction to all this, whilst I feel anger I also undergo extreme anguish and at times I am amused as to what has happened to these people, what on earth has become of their rational faculties! THE MIRACLE OF HOLY PROPHET’S PRAYER: I prays to God for the ears which can listen and for the hearts that may be guided. They may or may not believe us, but our stand shall always be that of the Holy Prophet sa —to the practice of whom sa we shall always remain loyal—encapsulated in the verses. 160 160 Admonish, therefore, for thou art but an admonisher; Thou hast no authority to compel them. (The Holy Qur’an 88:22-23). [Publisher]
