Question
Ebrahim Bham (i.e. Reverend Abraham Bham, the Cross-Worshipper) stated that the Aayat: "There is no compulsion in religion", and the Aayat:: "If Allah wished He would have made you one nation", means that everyone has the right to choose a religion. Therefore, we should be tolerant and respect everyone's choices. Bham uses this argument when questioned about other religious praying to their deities. Is there any validity in his argument?
Answer
Every Muslim whose Imaan has not been eroded with kufr understands the utter fallacy and baselessness of the kufr disgorged by the Cross-Worshipper. His interpretation of the Qur'aanic verses is a gross fabrication of falsehood specifically designed for bootlicking his kuffaar cohorts in the kufr interfaith cult spawned by the Western Yahood and Nasaara enemies of Islam. Even a person of shallow understanding can readily discern the stupid interpretation of Reverend Bham. The translation of the Aayat is:
"There is no compulsion in Deen (religion). Verily,
Guidance (the right path) has become distinct from misguidance (deviation/ kufr). Therefore,
Whoever denies (and rejects) Taghoot (Shaitaan),
Believes in Allah, and verily, he has grasped a
Powerful handle which will not break. Allah is the All Hearing, the All Knowing."
(Al-Baqarah, Aayat 256)
No one among the anti-kufr interfaithers had ever asserted that there is compulsion in the Deen. No one had ever ventured the kufr stupidity of Allah Azza Wa Jal not having the power to have created all mankind as Mu'mineen. These factors are not the subject of discussion nor of rejection and condemnation. What is condemned and branded as kufr is participation in the kufr interfaith satanism, and this condemnation has no relationship with the issue of there being no compulsion in religion.
As for 'toleration', no one has propagated intolerance towards non-Muslims alongside whom Muslims are living all over the world. No one is advocating intolerance and hatred for non-Muslims. The intolerance is specifically for participation in the interfaith kufr 'religion'. Islam is vigorously and resolutely intolerant of such participation. Thus, the Islamic intolerance is directed to professed Muslims who participate in the kufr ideology of assigning a single platform for Islam and all brands of kufr thereby equating kufr with Islam. The fight is with professed Muslims, not with non-Muslims.
The first sentence of this Aayat clearly means that no one may be compelled to accept Islam. Islam has to be accepted of one's free will. The choice between Imaan and Kufr has been granted to man here on earth which is the arena for conflict between Imaan and Kufr, Haqq and Baatil, vice and virtue.
The Aayat stating that there is no compulsion never means that Allah Ta'ala is pleased with the kufr choice of the followers of Taghoot. Debunking this kufr interpretation of the murtadd, Reverend Abraham Bham, the Qur'aan Majeed states:
"If you commit kufr (disbelieve in Islam),
then (know), verily Allah is independent of you.
And (know that) Allah is not pleased with
Kufr for His servants."
(Az-Zumar, Aayat 7)
When Jahannam has been created specifically for the eternal damnation of kuffaar, how can a sane person professing to be a Muslim ever promote the kufr idea of Allah Ta'ala being pleased with idolatry, atheism and the variety of brands of kufr – kufr which is in reality rebellion against the Creator.
And, how can Allah Ta'ala ever be pleased with religions of kufr, when He commands in the Qur'aan Majeed:
"And, fight them (wage Jihad) until there remains no fitnah and until the Deen is for only Allah."
(Al-Baqarah, Aayat 193)
The choice which Allah Ta'ala has given mankind of selecting whatever brand of religion is desired never means that Allah Ta'ala is pleased with kufr and the kuffaar. How can Allah Ta'ala be pleased with kufr, He commands in the Qur'aan:
"And fight them
(wage Qitaal/Jihad) until there remains no fitnah and until all
Deen (total Deen)
is for only Allah."
(Al-Anfaal, Aayat 39)
In the tafseer of this Aayat, it is mentioned: "Fight them until there remains not a vestige of shirk among them and until every religion has been eradicated from them, and Islam alone will remain the Deen for them.' (Madaarikut Tanzeel)
Such action – Jihad - is the obligation of the Islamic State. It shall not adopt the kufr 'toleration' advocated by Bham and other murtaddeen of his ilk. The choice granted by Islam to the kuffaar is limited. It is either Islam or Jizya or Jihad. But this is the obligation of the Islamic State.
And how can Allah Ta'ala ever be pleased with the choice of kufr, when He states in the Qur'aan Majeed:
"And fight those who do not believe in Allah nor in the Last Day nor do they prohibit that which Allah and
His Rasool have prohibited nor do they accept the Deen of Haqq (Islam) — Fight those of the Ahle-Kitaab until they subserviently pay
Jizyah whilst they are in humiliation."
(At-Taubah, Aayat 29)
And how can Allah Ta'ala ever be pleased with kufr when He has created Jahannam specifically for the kuffaar?
"...Fear the Fire whose fuel is people and stones.
It has been prepared for the kaafireen."
(Al-Baqarah, Aayat 24)
There is absolutely no scope in the Aayats proffered by the Reverend Abraham Bham to justify his participation in the kufr interfaith satanism of the Yahood and Nasaara. The Verse only states that no person may be compelled to accept Islam, and that Allah Ta'ala, if He so willed that all mankind be guided, had the power for guiding them. Having granted people the freewill to select and adopt either kufr or Imaan, his power of coercion and compulsion has not been compromised. Thus, the Qur'aan Majeed states:
"If Allah had willed, He would have made you
One Ummah, but on the contrary (He did not will so)
so that He may test you regarding that which He has given you. Therefore, hasten to virtuous deeds."
(Al-Maaidah, Aayat 48)
There being no compulsion in Deen and participation in the kufr interfaith exercise are two distinct, separate issues which the Cross-Worshipper has attempted to obfuscate for justification of his adoption of kufr.
