The Truth about the Alleged Punishment for Apostasy in Islam — Page 151
151 period. Some extremely truthful, God-fearing, pious and scholarly Muslims were crucified for the crime of having a belief that the Holy Qur’an is a ‘creation’. However, when the era changed and a person who himself was of the belief that the Holy Qur’an is a ‘creation’ held the office of Khilafat , he ordered the killing of all the scholars who did not consider the Holy Qur’an a ‘creation’. The blood of venerable Muslims thus went on spilling in the streets for the crime of apostasy, whereby death was the punishment of apostasy and the argument for deeming them apostate was merely the fact that, in the light of Tanz i h i *. Attributes of God, they had declared the Qur’an a 'creation'. This was indeed a most horrific and cruel era, but then this was not the only era, rather there is a myriad of such brutal episodes that stigmatise the Muslim regimes. To this day, the free world feels hatred and contempt for Islam and its adherents because of this ignominy, and considers Islam an ignorant faith belonging to the dark ages. Today these religious scholars do not seem to have learnt lessons from this. They are devoid of any sense of shame. They keep on forcibly attributing beliefs, against the Holy Qur’an and Sunna, to Islam which are * Those Attributes of Allah which exclusively belong to Him and cannot be shared by His creation as His being All Knowing. Others like kindness, love, can be shared by his creation and are called Ghair (Non) Tanz i h i. [Publisher]
