Summary of Sunni concepts
Freedom of belief
God Almighty's saying
And say: The truth is from your Lord. So whoever wills, let him follow, and whoever wills, let him disbelieve.
It does not mean permission to disbelieve
Rather, it is a threat and a warning of the afterlife torment for whoever chooses it after the truth has been clarified
As evidenced by what he said later
Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose canopy will surround them
And if they call for help, they will be helped with water like mud that discolors faces
It is an evil drink and a bad condition
He is clear in his threats and threats
It explains that disbelief is injustice to the oppressors
God Almighty does not permit disbelief nor approve of it
God Almighty said
If you disbelieve, God is independent of you
He does not approve of disbelief for His servants
But disbelief is not permitted
It does not mean coercion into the true faith and religion
God Almighty said
There is no compulsion in religion, since righteousness has been distinguished from error
And the Almighty said
Do you force people to become believers?
Compulsion to believe the truth is completely inconceivable
Because belief is based on the heart
No one can see what is in it except God Almighty
It is also a matter of honoring the human being
Distinguishing him from animals by thought and will
He left it to himself
With regard to guidance and misguidance in belief
He bears the responsibility for his work and is held accountable in the afterlife
If good, then good, if bad, then evil
Not being forced to believe does not conflict with fighting unbelievers
What is commanded in more than one verse of the Book of God Almighty
As God Almighty says
And they fought all the polytheists
They also fight you all
And he said
O you who have believed, fight those of the disbelievers next to you
And let them find harshness in you
Not being forced to believe is not incompatible with this fight
Because fighting them is intended to prevent polytheism from appearing on high
And prevent arrogance in it
Obligation to the rule of Islam and its laws in real life
If the infidels adhere to that and limit their polytheism to themselves and do not call to it
They performed their rituals in their temples without any appearance or announcement
They submitted to God's rule
They are not prevented from doing so
Except in the Arabian Peninsula
Where they are prohibited from settling
They must pay tribute
And their reckoning is with God
He was not afraid that Muslims could not apply that ruling in such detail
Except in the case of glory and empowerment
As for their weakness, humiliation, and the disappearance of their rule in reality
Then disbelief and its misguided methods will appear
Some of which may allow Muslims to perform their religious rituals
And establishing their laws in personal status only
Without all other matters of governance and politics
The matter of disbelief may intensify and be subjected to it in different times and places
Even religious rituals for Muslims are prohibited
And their provisions in personal status
As happened before during the fall of Andalusia
At that time, Al-Nassar carried out what was called the Inquisition
Where Muslims follow and search for what is in their hearts
They forced them to convert to Christianity
Otherwise they face horrific torture, death and genocide
As the Communists did during the Bolshevik Revolution
In the former Soviet Union
As many Hindus and Sikhs in India currently do
And Buddhists in Myanmar
And the Chinese communists in the Uyghur region
