“Today, I came crossed the archetypal Hadith among the expected ‘100 Hadiths’ which the fabricators assertion contradict the Qur’an. They asseverate that Muslims who judge successful some the divine revelation of the Hadith and the Qur’an cannot respond to them! The Hadith successful question is: ‘Whoever changes his religion, termination him.’ The idiosyncratic who presented this connection by the fabricators to maine is idiosyncratic named Issiyaku Abdulkadir.“Here is what I wrote successful effect to the claims of these fabricators: First, I convey you for starting to bring maine what this compound ignoramus refers to arsenic ‘100 Hadiths that contradict the verses of the Qur’an.’ This will, God willing, springiness maine the accidental to exposure his ignorance to the world”, Jalingo’s connection partially read.

He supported his claims with different Quranic citation successful Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 193, saying, “Fight them until determination is nary much fitnah (disbelief and oppression) and religion is for Allah alone.’ Meaning: combat them until they judge Islam.

And successful Surah An-Nisa’, verse 89: ‘Kill them wherever you find them.’ And again successful Surah An-Nisa’, verse 91: ‘Kill them wherever you face them.'”

“You see, unless idiosyncratic is wholly ignorant similar the fabricators, nary 1 would assertion that the Hadith which says ‘Whoever changes his religion, termination him’ contradicts the Qur’an—because the Qur’an itself goes adjacent further. It does not lone licence the sidesplitting of apostates, but each polytheists successful definite contexts.“Fourth: You should besides cognize that the verse ‘There is nary compulsion successful religion’ (La ikrah fi ad-deen) has had its ruling abrogated (naskh) by the verses we’ve conscionable quoted, arsenic good arsenic by the precise Hadith you brought: ‘Whoever changes his religion, termination him.’ And abrogation is simply a well-established conception wrong the revelation of the Glorious Qur’an.”

In a last explosive comment, Jalingo launched a idiosyncratic onslaught connected his critics, stating, “This is simply a little effect to the compounded ignorance of this individual—whose attack and mode lucifer that of prostitutes and effeminate men—i.e., the alleged fabricators.”
