Leaving Islam (and returning)

The death penalty for apostasy is found more directly in the Qur’an — Islamic authorities generally root it in two Qur’anic verses, 2:217 and 4:89, as Hugh has noted.

Here is 2:217:

They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: “Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members.” Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

Meanwhile, 4:89 says this:

They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they). But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.

I understood none of the posts above. Sorry.

But since the title of the thread is clear, I want to post on it.

According to Islam, one can choose his/her religion as they want. And the Holy Quran 2:256 speaks about it, that there is no compulsion in (the acceptance of) religion.

What if he or she leaves after embracing Islam, you might ask.

There is no verse in the Holy Quran about killing the apostates. It is some hadiths in sunni sources that people differ in views. But, sunni brethren explained the issue here

Apostasy in Islam | ReligiousForums.com

You might check it.
And just to add, in shia Islam, the female apostate is not killed. And the male apostate is not killed either, unless he creates conflicts, takes physical actions against the state and etc. And when he does that, he is not killed right away. He is reasoned and asked for repentance. Thus, this is something that relates to the politics, security of the state, rather than the religions.

The third point, which is about repentance, you can study it here:

Discourse 8: Repentance I | Spiritual Discourses | Ayatullah Mutahhari

Our views are very similar in regards to this:

"And just to add, in shia Islam, the female apostate is not killed. And the male apostate is not killed either, unless he creates conflicts, takes physical actions against the state and etc. And when he does that, he is not killed right away. He is reasoned and asked for repentance. Thus, this is something that relates to the politics, security of the state, rather than the religions."

But, I am speaking as a follower of the Hanafi Madhab. I do not have sufficient knowledge to speak regarding the other 3 Madhabs.

You forgot to finish the quotation which continues in the next verse clearly explaining that fighting is ONLY allowed against those who are attacking.
Ch 4 v. 90
Except those who are connected with a people between whom and you there is a pact, or those who come to you while their hearts shrink from fighting you or fighting their own people. And if Allah had so pleased He would have given them power over you, then they would have surely fought you. So, if they keep aloof from you and fight you not, and make you an offer of peace, then remember that Allah has allowed you no way of aggression against them"

Surely those verses can not be taken out of the context but sadly both the extremist groups and Islamophobics do the otherwise.

Please see the beginning of this video, it explains all so beautiful:

No-do not usethe piouswith us-

But even without that was seeing
Context of the verses and hadiths invites to the killing of the apostate from Islam

I am not "playing the pious". lol. And the context of the verses don't suggest the killing of the apostates, nor do the authentic hadiths.

P.s. the video does not work embedded on forums. But you still can click on it and open it on youtube and it works there. In the first 15 minutes of the video he refers to this and it is a bit funny sometimes, and makes mention of your religion as well. However I suggest the whole video even to non-muslims like you.

The scientists agreed that the killing of the apostate innate unconditionally the ask for penitence; based on extensive texts in this aspect on House of inerrancy (peace be upon them)

In the correct bin Jafar, his brother Imam Musa bin Ja'far (alihalslam), said: I asked him about the Muslim hierarchy? Said: (kills and ysttab). I said: it is the safest thmartd about Islam? He said: (ysttab, it is returned, otherwise kill).

Maulana you denied us saying that Shiite and Sunni Muslims agree on Qur'anic basis
The killing of the apostate is one of those foundations

If Muslims have nothing to fear of Islam why are they being killed by the ISIS?

But the interpretations of the Quran are not the same to Shia and Sunni. An Arab talks to his camel quite differently than he talks to his 6 year old child bride. Both to him are uneducated illiterates, but the camel can be excused for being an animal. The wife he must beat.

Do you not know only the Shia take part in the mourning of Muharram where the unmarried Shi'a Muslims beat themselves in public till they bleed with whips and knives. Whereas the Sunni just beat their illiterate child brides privately and treat the occasion as a domestic issue.

I'm not denying that this happens, but you post as if EVERY Shia participates in the Muharram rituals and EVERY Sunny has and beats child brides. Make your point without generalizing about an entire population and MAYBE people will take you more seriously. Now you just sound desperate and illiterate like you accuse the Muslims of being.

Islam is not only for those who participate. The goal of Islam should be to educate all Muslims so they can read the Quran. There are 800 million illiterate Muslims and many more millions that cannot read the Quran because it is written in Arabic.
Shia Muslims beat themselves during the mourning of Muharram for the people who defended Islam.

It is time all Muslims who cannot read the Quran should beat themselves with whips and knives in public to show their commitment to Islam after failing to meet even the basic requirements like reading their scriptures, because all Muslims are guilty of gross negligence.

Because there are so many million illiterate Muslims. Islamists should seek the help of infidels to identify and beat those Muslims who cannot read or do not read the Quran. This way both the Islamists and infidels can participate in a common jihad against illiterate Muslims.

Imagine infidels acquainting themselves with all 164 jihad verses and applying it to the illiterate Muslims. That would even make the prophet smile!!!
