To Job Haddaway : Aya 4.89

Submitted by Mohammed (United States), Mar 24, 2009 at 12:08

Aya 4.89 was written for those who accepted islam and then went renegade and became apostates. Allah ordered all apostates to be killed. Here is from Khan and Hilali:
"If they turn back from islam kill them wherever you find them. All quranic authorities agree that apsotates must be killed according to thjis aya and the hadith Bukhari4-52-260"Kill any one who leaves islam", and that is the sharia law and is practised in all countries who follow sharia. Allah said the same thing in old testament. Are you trying to say Allah exempted the apostates who had treaties? Quran does not have any sequence, chronology or context, . and most ayas are idividual and their meanings are not necessarily connected with adjacent ayas.
