Hebrews 3:12–13Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
the Quran's Perspective
An-Nisa (the Women) 4:89They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them,
Notes
The following quotation of Muhammad about apostates from the Hadith: Allah’s Apostle, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” (Sahih Bukhari 9.84.57, Bukhari 9.84.58) Cf. Bukhari 4.56.808 which says: "...they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game. Their belief will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection."
