The Ruling on Religious Persecution in Islam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q6: Does Islam allow for religious persecution? - The Bohra are Muslims who believe in all the teachings of Islam and the Noble Qur'an and the words of Allah, and it is obligatory for all Muslims to believe in the Qur'an.
A6: Islam does not allow for the persecution of sincere Muslims in
their faith and their following of the Book of Allah and the guidance of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, it is forbidden, and it may be considered disbelief if it is carried out by the leaders of the scholars of the Bohra and their followers. And what you described in your question is that they are disbelievers who do not believe in the foundations of Islam and do not follow the guidance of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not unlikely that they would persecute those who are sincere in their faith in Allah, His Book, and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Sunnah, just as the disbelievers in every nation persecuted the messengers of Allah whom He (Glorified and Exalted is He) sent to them to guide them. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
