Blasphemy On The Prophet And The Death Sentence For Kano Singer
Many issues will still definitely come up, wherein I shall share my opinions, but as it stands, I have to stay within the realm of my very little knowledge and maintain my sanity.
Giving opinions on every trending issues is not a must. I have seen many half-baked Muslims voicing opinions on the Kano singer that was sentenced to death for blasphemy on the Prophet, not basically because they have something substantial to say, but because the social media empathy has beclouded their right-thinking sense, and hence forgetting that ينبغي لكل مسلم عاقل، أن يستسلم لحكم الله, regardless what.
I fear trying to feel among on trendy issues and hence share opinions that could make me incur the wrath of Allah.
Firstly, the singer was tried in a Shari’ah court, and not a conventional one. He might have been lucky in the latter, but in the former, it’s never a matter of perversive opinion, that the punishment for blasphemy is death. Not only that, humiliating punishment awaits the blasphemer in the hereafter.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا
Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger — Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them is a humiliating punishment. {Al-Ahzab 33:57}
To Note: Not only Islam upholds this, Christianity does, as well:
Leviticus 24: 16 “ Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the name, shall be put to death.”
The aforementioned, and many other, attest to the fact that blasphemy is the direst and most abominable verbal nullifier of faith — any faith.
Hence, to Muslims who join hands in condemning the verdict, probably with the hope of dragging trivial attention from people of other faiths, or by feeling the human-rights activism in them; this little advice I have got for you: Go to Kenya and abuse their current President. Go to Poland, Beirut, Venezuela and do same, come back and narrate to us, what stands your fate.
