Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We hear in these recent times calls for secularism that advocate separating religion from the state. Are these calls apostasy? And are their proponents apostates?
Answer:
There is no doubt that contemporary atheistic ideologies are disbelief, such as secularism, modernism, and nationalism. These are all ideologies of disbelief because they contradict the Islam brought by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Communism, the ideology of communism, is disbelief and atheism.
