Firstly, i understand the decision of Abu Bakr siddiq to fight the apostates that did not want to pay zakaat and they allied themselves with the false prophet musaylama kadhab. They were great danger to the muslim ummah.
What i cant understand is few individual apostates who pose no threat to islam(by calling others to leave islam) and to the islamic government/state(not isis :P ), that they should be killed because one hadith says so.
I looked into all verses and all hadiths. One hadith says kill whoever changes his religion.
The other hadiths are about apostate who leaves the community and joins the enemy, these latter hadiths are in line with quran. But the first hadith(kill whoever changes his religion) contradicts quran hadiths. When i realized that, i decide to take the quran and hadiths above that hadith.
First hadith is more general and not clear.
In the times of prophet PBUH apostasy was linked to hirabah, that is when apostasy is accompanied by rebellion against the community. Do we really think if a muslim becomes apostate in let say egypt, pakistan or saudi arabia , he would join american army? Or work for cia?
I will post quran verses that gives fully freedom to enter islam and leave islam without any fear because now there is no war and the religion is well established:
Noble Verses 10:99-100 "If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed, all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! No soul can believe, except by the will of God, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand."
Noble Verse 18:29 "Say, 'The truth is from your Lord': Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong doers
Many verses speak about the complete freedom to believe or disbelieve. For that reason i had always difficulties with the apostasy law.
Or am i wrong, and am i missing some important quran and hadiths?
