The PKR vice-president pronounced final week which eremite leisure is for everyone, even Muslims as good as Malays. Well, here have been a contribution to infer she has a point.
COMMENT
Yet again, Umno as good as a likes of Ibrahim Ali as good as Nasharudin Mat Isa have resorted to misusing Islam to disprove a part of of a opposition bloc. According to a twin supposing by Malaysiakini, Nurul Izzah Anwar pronounced during a forum final weekend which "there is no constraint in sacrament How can any a single unequivocally say, 'sorry, this usually relates to non-Malays.' It has to apply equally."
Hishammuddin Hussein, a home minister, described Nurul's statements as unresponsive as good as causing open anger.
Nasharudin, a former PAS vice-president, pronounced which she contingency repent as good as what she pronounced goes against Islam.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a former prime minister, pronounced her matter was stupid.
Now, putting in reserve a actuality which scarcely every time great ol' Hisham, Nasha as good as Mahathir open their mouths, they contend something foolish as good as unresponsive which annoy a public, Nurul, upon a alternative hand, did not contend anything "radical", "liberal", "dangerous to a faith" or even new.
On a contrary, what she pronounced has been discussed in between Islamic scholars opposite a globe for years.
It's usually which no a single seems to have clued a Powers That Be upon this.
A sweeping order for all
Nurul pronounced which there is no constraint in religion, whether for Muslims or non-Muslims.
A sweeping order for all
Nurul pronounced which there is no constraint in religion, whether for Muslims or non-Muslims.
A! nd she h as a point.
Islam is all about an individual's own intentional acquiescence to Allah; there can be no duress since conviction cannot be forced upon anyone, even upon those Malays who have been innate Muslims.
we mean, if we asked you, during gunpoint, to hold in Islam, would you? Unless you're already a believer, afterwards of march not. You'd substantially blubber a bit about how being during a brink of genocide has opened your eyes to Islam, though your convictions would sojourn a same.
So constraint is not a answer preparation is, usually as Nurul referred to in a after statement.
In fact, even in a Quran, Surah Al-Nahl, hymn 126 states:
"Invite [all] to a Way of thy Lord with knowledge as good as beautiful preaching; as good as disagree with them in ways which have been most appropriate as good as most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, as good as who embrace guidance." (16:126 translated by Yusuf Ali)
Now, for those of we who have been starting to contend which I'm no scholar as good as should usually keep my mouth shut as good as let a experts talk it out, concede me to produce a allude to from a former Chief Judge of Pakistan, SA Rahman.
"Man is free to choose in between truth as good as fabrication as good as a Prophet's function is to communicate a message, exemplify it in his own hold up as good as to leave a rest to God he is no warder over men to enforce them to adopt sold beliefs," he wrote.
This is serve fortified in multiform Islamic verses, together with Surah Ali Imran, hymn twenty as good as Al-Ma'idah, hymn 92, which state if people turn away from a message of Islam, afterwards a Prophet Muhammad's duty is usually to educate not force nor coerce.
Freedom to choose still exists
Unfortunately, we still have a likes of Nasharudin who disagree which a "no constraint in religion" hymn (! 2:256) u sually relates to non-Muslims in a issue of converting to Islam.
In alternative words, once a single becomes Muslim, let a duress begin!
Now, we challenge him as good as alternative like-minded people to indicate out any hymn in a Quran which states which which arrange of mount in standard exists.
Nasharudin did mention Surah al-Ahzab hymn 36 as "proof" which there is no leisure in sacrament for Muslims.
"It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah as good as His Messenger, to have any preference about their decision: if any a single disobeys Allah as good as His Messenger, he is in truth upon a obviously wrong Path." (33:36 interpretation by Yusuf Ali)
But, as we can see, this hymn usually states which when Allah has ordered something, it is not fitting for a follower to have any preference in their matter a leisure to choose still exists, as referred to multiform times in a Quran.
But whilst leisure exists, a Quran still states what is right as good as wrong.
And if a single chooses what has been forbidden, afterwards a single will face a consequences of which decision, whether in this hold up or a hereafter.
Islam as good as apostasy
Now, by trait of a actuality which leisure of sacrament exists in Islam, does which mean Muslims, as good as Malays, have a leisure to renounce their sacrament as good as should not be coerced or punished in to remaining as Muslims?
Since I'd rsther than not have 15 policemen raid FMT's office over this article, I'll refrain from saying my stand, though usually share a views of multiform worshiped scholars in Islam who have been not Malaysians, not Malays, as good as do not have any vested political seductiveness in a issue.
The former chief judge of Pakistan, SA Rahman, wrote in his book "Punishment of dissenting perspective in Islam" that:

"There is absolutely no mention in a Quran of paltry low mark for defection from a conviction by a believer, solely in a shape of damage of a spiritual benefits of Islam or of a polite status as good as advantages which accumulate to an individual as a part of of a well-knit companionship of Muslims.
"He should, however, be free to confess as good as generate a conviction of his choice, so prolonged as he keeps inside of a end of law as good as morality, as good as to enjoy all alternative rights as a pacific citizen of a State, in usual with his Muslim co-citizens."
He also added which dissenting perspective is an corruption in a realm of a rights of God, rsther than than a rights of mankind, thus there would be no dire prerequisite to punish a pacific change of faith.
Meanwhile, Dr Ahmad Ar-Raysouni, a highbrow of principles of Islamic jurisprudence, wrote:
"if Allah did not require His creation towards idea in Him, nor did He assent his Prophet [pbuh] to do so instructing him, afterwards how could He allow, or order, a leaders of a Muslims to force a single to sojourn as a Muslim or lapse to it underneath a threat of death?"
Another Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, wrote:
"all of a dignified teachings of a Quran have been formed upon a notion of dignified responsibility, which entails a leisure of choice. Therefore, to state which a single contingency be put to genocide for choosing to disbelieve would usually criticise a complete dignified structure of a Quran."
Controversy over nothing
In a end, it's transparent which what Nurul pronounced upon which fateful day has a basis both in a Quran as good as in a viewpoints of certain scholars.
And whilst a little people, together with Siti Kassim, might perspective her after matter as a "retraction", we do not usually since Nurul doesn't condone nor await apostasy, doesn't mean she is denying wh! ich leis ure in sacrament exists. She is usually not understanding of associate Muslims creation a wrong decision.
So, really, a actuality which Umno is latching onto this issue as good as fanning a flames of eremite sentiments is usually another sign of a desperation to stay in power.
But in this case, Umno is signing a own genocide warrant since misusing sacrament for political mileage does not go down good with (thinking) Malays as good as Muslims.
As for Nurul? Kudos to we for responding Siti Kassim's subject honestly as good as risking your own political station to do so. A Muslim should never hide a truth from another usually to save his/her own ass.
So we suggest a most appropriate thing for we to do from here upon out is to stick to your stand, as good as a contribution which await it. Because we Muslims have been at the back of we all a way upon this.
