Apostasy: Complexities & Christian Discipleship within Nubian Context

Fear is one strong instrument that the devil has used against Christian ministry. It is one attribute mentioned in the Bible that every believer must overcome. In Islam, it is fear of Jinn, and the fear of death, that are used to keep people away from falling back from faith. This book addresses this concept of fear, as one main influence against APOSTASY from Islam. The punishment instituted against one who falls back from Islam, artadd ‘an dinihi, are so severe, that in the process cause enormous fear among adherents of Islamic faith. In this book, we see how Apostasy from Islamic faith is greatly feared by the adherents. The book addresses why fear is playing a big role in holding people to Islam, and why Muslim leaders take advantage of fear of both those within, and those without, in order to reduce the chance that some of their members would fall back, and join other religions. Even those who choose to take non-Muslim spouses are threated with death, which is allowed by Qur’an and Haddith. What is holding people in Kenya from full implementation of certain practices, such as execution of the apostates, is the fear of the law. Kenyan constitution protects its citizens from such atrocities, such as religious execution. The book intends to present a strong missiological instrument of information, especially to those mission agents who target Muslim zones.
