Concerned about Hadith no 14

 

"Narrated �Imran bin Husain :

 

The Prophet said, �I looked at Paradise and found poor people forming the majority of its inhabitants; and I looked at Hell and saw that the majority of its inhabitants were women.�" Bukhari vol.4:464 p.305.

This is a very interesting hadith. Briefly those believers with sincere intention, but could not find the ideal environment to practice Islam. Poor does not mean lack of money. No! A lot of people are deceived through misinterpretation of the Sunna. The importance of learning Arabic language is not emphasized for the Muslims. We must learn Arabic to understand Islam since we do not have a central authority and command. Look at what is going on in Saudi Arabia where they obsere the standing at Arafat not on the 9th day! The imams read long Sermon on Fridays and observe the Salat late afternoon. None of the Kings lead the prayer!  

Friendship.  

 

Hello Alex,

Yes, we see you studying Islam sincerly. May Allah swt guide you towards right path. This question is also very intresting.

 

Here;s that ayah, which says - "There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path."

 

Actually Alex, we are taught not to compel anyone into Islam. Only when they gets contended that its the true path, he can then embrace it by the grace of Allah. So you see that he's is n't  forced at all. When he's able to distinguish betweeen right and a wrong path,  he enters into the folds of Islam. He's given full freedom. But after embracing Islam, and knowing that its the only true path, when he leaves it, then he's to be executed. He is called apostate. We had discussions as why an apostate is to be killed. But remember, he's executed only when he is an islamic state. He's a threat to the society, as even after knowing the true path, he returns from it.He may be the cause of great fitnahs There is a hadith and its gyst is a believer in Islam, hates to return to kufr even if he had little spark of faith {belief}. He leaves islam when he has no faith. So he is to be executed. But remember, this can happen only in an islamic state.
