What I learned 15/8/2012

Northen Southener —

"One who disbelieves after having believed, on him is wrath from Allah and a fierce torment, except someone who is coercively forced to do so and at heart remainscontented with his belief (as before)"

If someone is coerced to the extreme that he fears for for his life, then he will not lose his faith if he utters words of disbelief. As long as the disbelief doesn't go beyond utterance.

Thats why the Quran mentions in 2:256 that there is no compulsion in (the acceptance of) religion as the truth/right course has been made clear from the wrong.

Bilal the muazzin chose the latter, but you're "allowed" to "chicken out" to save your life as long as you still have the faith in your heart.
