[quote][size=2][blue][font=Arial]Asalam Aalaikum,

Anyone who converts to any other religion from Islam no doubt commits the greatest error of his life and their is difference of opinion about this matter between majority of the Muslim Scholars and the Scholars of Al-Mawrid Institute.

According to the majority of the Scholars, an apostate(the one who leaves Islam) should be given a specific time to re-consider his decision about the conversion and if he apologizes for converting to another religion and returns to Islam,then he should be forgiven and his reembracement of Islam should be accepted otherwise he should be punished to death.

This is a generally held view of the Majority of the Muslim Scholars who base their judgment on a hadith  of a Prophet(pbuh) which states something like this "that a person who leaves Islam should be punished to death".

But the view of the Scholars of Al-Mawrid Institute is much different showing further flexibility on this issue and they base their view on Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet(pbuh).

Now the question arises that if Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance then how come anyone converting to Islam is greatly welcomed but if any muslim who converts to another religion is not tolerated and is killed?

Now dear brothers if a non-muslim asks this question to the muslims, then what will be the reply of the muslims who support the majority of the Muslim Scholars?

A person is allowed to enter Islam but is not allowed to leave Islam just as similarly when a person enters a criminal world to become a criminal but is not allowed to leave the criminal world otherwise he will be killed.
