Apostasy
- Punishment for Apostasy in IslamThe apostate is not to be put to death immediately after he falls into apostasy, especially if has doubts. Rather he should be asked to repent and be offered the opportunity to return to Islam and resolve his doubts, if any. If he persists in his apostasy after that, he is to be put to death.174,941
- How to Repent from Making Fun of IslamMocking Islam and its teachings is a serious act of disbelief that can take a person out of the fold of Islam. For those who have erred in this way, sincere repentance and a return to the path of faith are essential steps. Islam teaches that the Quran and Sunnah are too sacred to be treated with ridicule or contempt. So, it is vital to approach them with the respect and reverence they deserve, ensuring that our words and actions align with the teachings of our faith.140,409
