يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيهِ ۖ قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِيهِ
كَبِيرٌ ۖ وَصَدٌّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَكُفْرٌۢ بِهِۦ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ
وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِۦ مِنْهُ أَكْبَرُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ
مِنَ ٱلْقَتْلِ ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَن
دِينِكُمْ إِنِ ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ ۚ وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَيَمُتْ
وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

217d. And whoso of you becometh a
renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen
both in the world and the Hereafter. And such are rightful owners of the
Fire, they will abide therein forever.

Commentary
It was cleared in the
above part of the verse that the Infidels and Idolaters will continue trying to
turn the Muslims away from Islam with every method. They will threaten and
terrify them, offer them different hopes and tempt them. Their entire efforts
will be for the purpose that with any possible way, the Muslims must not
increase in numbers; they would have to return unto ignorance and darkness of
the infidelity.
It has been warned in
this verse that if any Muslim will become a renegade leaving Islam under the
influence of Infidels, due to scare or lure, and will die in his disbelief, his
entire good deeds will be lost. He will have to suffer its punishment also in
the world as well as on the Day of Resurrection too.
Punishment due to
being a renegade from Islam will be that his life and wealth will not be
protected. His relationship will be disconnected from his Muslim wife. He
cannot get hereditary property of the Muslims. Moreover, if there is a Muslim
government then the disloyal, renegade and rebel individual has no right to
live in that state.
On the Day of
Resurrection, he will be punished rigorously as he will remain deprived of his
rewards and compensation. He will not get any retribution of his any worship
and good deed. He will be put in to the Hell, will be burnt there forever and
harmed rigorously.
Fayamut wa
huwa kaafirun – (if he dies in his disbelief), Allah Almighty
taught from this sentence that if (God forbid) any Muslim becomes a renegade,
even then; he has the opportunity to return towards the religion. The
punishment of Hereafter is only in that case, if he dies in the folly of
Infidelity.
The punishment of the
renegade is too much rigorous because he became a renegade after understanding
Islam (the Straight Path). Then doubts may rise in the hearts of other people;
observing him.
