The Punishment for Apostasy Among Christians All praise is due to Allah, and may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, his Companions, and those who follow him. To proceed: Every Muslim is well aware of the furious campaign directed against Islam. Yet if we look closely at what is commonly said about Islam in the West, we find them claiming that our religion is a religion of terrorism. As though we were the ones who invented nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, and other weapons that kill without distinguishing between old and young, men and women. As though they had no terrorist movements of their own: one against blacks, another against whites, another against men, and another fighting to separate a region from a state, and so on. And as though their religions contained no fighting in the name of religion! Excuse me — do they actually have such fighting?!! Yes. Rahmatullah al-Hindi mentioned in his book Izhar al-Haqq passages from their own Bible concerning the fighting of the Prophets. But why go that far? What happened to the Crusades? Were they not “Crusades” — that is, wars carried out with the blessing of the Church? And in their belief, the blessing of the Church is the blessing of God. But Muslims have a punishment for apostasy!! And who told you that these people have no punishment for apostasy? Open the Book of Exodus, 22:20, and you will find: “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.” Allahu Akbar. This is from the Old Testament, which Christians accept as scripture. That is why they print it together with the New Testament in a single Bible. And this ruling agrees with reason — revelation and sound reason never contradict one another. Allah Almighty is the One who granted man life, and He is the One who legislates when that life — which belongs to Him in the first place — may be taken because of shirk, which contradicts the very purpose for which creation was created. And shirk — associating partners with Allah — is the greatest crime a human being can commit. The King James Version of Exodus 22:20 reads: “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.” I say: “utterly destroyed” means destruction resulting in death. And in Exodus 32:27–29 there is the account of the children of Levi killing about three thousand of the people after the worship of the calf. Part of the text reads: “Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.” Then the text says: “And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.” And after the killing had taken place, Moses said to the children of Levi who had carried it out: “Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD…” I still remember the day I watched a priest on one of the Christian missionary channels criticizing the Muslim Wars of Apostasy and saying, in his own pronunciation: “Why all this killing?” Had this ignorant man known of this account, which appears in the Bible, he would not have opened his mouth — unless he knew it already and simply chose to ignore it. And in Deuteronomy 13:1–5, concerning a prophet or dreamer who calls people to other gods, the text says: “And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death…” And in the same chapter, concerning someone close to you who secretly calls you to worship other gods, Deuteronomy 13:6–10 says: “Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:But thou shalt surely kill him…And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die…” Allahu Akbar. The text could hardly be clearer. And let us finish with a passage from the New Testament, from the words narrated by Jesus Christ — the gentle Lord, according to the Christians — whom they portray as standing at the door of the heart and gently knocking: if it is not opened, he knocks again; and if it is still not opened, he simply leaves — as they say. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 19, verse 27, Jesus says in the parable: “But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” And that is all. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

هذا جمعٌ لمادة الشيخ عبد الله الخليفي في موضوع «الغنم بالغرم»، من مقالاته وصوتياته.

الكائنات الأكثر جشعًا، دعاة التمييز الإيجابي، من يردن الغنم دون الغرم. ما القوامة؟ (النفقة) مسؤولية على الرجل وفائدة للمرأة. (الخدمة) مسؤولية على الرجل وفائدة للمرأة. ماذا تقدم هي في المقابل؟ ما الذي يلزمها؟ لا يوجد شيء محدد، كل شيء يصدر منها تفضُّل. هذا الضرب تجده متمسكًا بالدين جدًّا، ولكن ليس الدين الذي جاء به محمد ﷺ، وإنما التدين المصلحي. يأخذن من الدين الحقوق، وعند الواجبات يتحولن إلى ليبراليين أو نسويات، ويقلن: (ليس كل شيء بالدين). هذا الضرب أخطر من دعاة المساواة المطلقة؛ لأن دعاة المساواة المطلقة يلتزمون بعدم مطالبة الرجل بالأمور الشرعية؛ لأنهم أسقطوا الشرع كله من الاعتبار، ولا يمارسون القراءات المجتزأة للنصوص. وأما هؤلاء، فيأخذن ما يردنه من الدين والعادات والقانون، ويتركن ما لا يردنه؛ فما لا يعجبهن في الشرع يذهبن للقانون، وما لا يعجبهن في القانون يذهبن للفتوى والشرع، وهكذا... وقلَّ من يتنبه لخطورة الأمر من المتصدرين.
