The punishment for the apostate is execution. Why such harshness?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The punishment for apostasy from the religion of Islam is execution. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will abide therein forever”
[al-Baqarah 2:217]
And it was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari in hisSaheeh. What this hadeeth means is that whoever leaves Islam and changes to another religion and persists in that and does not repent, is to be executed. It was also proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible to shed the blood of a person who bears witness that there is no god but Allaah and that I am the Messenger of Allaah except in three cases: a life for a life, a previously-married person who commits adultery, and one who leaves Islam and forsakes the jamaa’ah.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
This harsh punishment is for a number of reasons:
1 – This punishment is a deterrent to anyone who wants to enter Islam just to follow the crowd or for hypocritical purposes. This will motivate him to examine the matter thoroughly and not to proceed unless he understands the consequences of that in this world and in the Hereafter. The one who announces his Islam has agreed to adhere to all the rulings of Islam of his own free will and consent, one of which rulings is that he is to be executed if he apostatizes from the faith.
2 – The one who announces his Islam has joined the jamaa’ah (main body) of the Muslims, and whoever joins the main body of the Muslims is required to be completely loyal and to support it and protect it against anything that may lead to fitnah or destroy it or cause division. Apostasy from Islam means forsaking the jamaa’ah and its divine order, and has a harmful effect on it. Execution is the greatest deterrent that will prevent people from committing such a crime.
3 – Those Muslims who are weak in faith and others who are against Islam may think that the apostate has only left Islam because of what he has found out about its real nature, because if it were the truth then he would never have turned away from it. So they learn from him all the doubts, lies and fabrications which are aimed at extinguishing the light of Islam and putting people off from it. In this case executing the apostate is obligatory, in order to protect the true religion from the defamation of the liars and to protect the faith of its adherents and remove obstacles from the path of those who are entering the faith.
4 – We also say that the death penalty exists in the modern laws of man to protect the system from disorder in some situation and to protect society against certain crimes which may cause its disintegration, such as drugs etc. If execution can serve as a deterrent to protect man-made systems, then it is more appropriate that the true religion of Allaah, which Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it [cf. Fussilat 41:42], and which is all goodness, happiness and tranquility in this world and in the Hereafter should punish those who commit acts of aggression against it and seek to extinguish its light and defame its image, and who fabricate lies against it to justify their apostasy and deviation.

For children, - Islam and Greed

Abbasid Caliph Haroon Rashid desired that any one who had seen the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in his lifetime be brought before him.
After some time a very old woman was brought before the Caliph Haroon
Rashid. The Caliph Haroon Rashid asked the old woman, "Did you see
Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) yourself?" She said, "Yes! Oh Sir." The
Caliph Haroon Rashid then asked her if she remembered any narration
from him. She said yes and said,"When old age comes two things become
young, one is hope (lofty aspirations) and the other is greed."The
Caliph Haroon Rashid thanked her and gave her one hundred dinars. The
woman thanked the Caliph Haroon Rashid and she was taken back.
Half the way some thought passed through her mind and she desired to
be brought before the Caliph Haroon Rashid once more. When she was
shown in, the Caliph Haroon Rashid asked, "Well, why have you come
back?" She said. "I just came to inquire whether the monies you gave
me were once for all or is it to continue every year?"
The Caliph Haroon Rashid thought. "How true is the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) word?" she has hope of life even now and she has greed
for money too. The Caliph Haroon Rashid said, "Don't worry; you will
be paid every year." She was taken back but on the way she breathed
her last.

stories, - Already dead

We were in deep, deep love. She was the best girl I could have ever
asked for. She was there for me when I needed her and I was there when
she needed me. We were very close, like kittens are to their mothers,
we were drawn to each other. With everything she did I felt more for
her, nothing she did could make me stop. She was just so amazing, I
was so lucky to have someone as great as her. We'd cuddle at night,
sleep next to each other, kiss each other passionately and just
generally love each other...
But then someone happened. I got sick, she didnt know. I started
talking to her less, kind of pushing her away, treating her as if she
did something wrong. She became very sad. When I came home at night I
stopped acknowledging her, kissing her, even telling her "hi." Id just
walk in and go upstairs. I couldn't stand to look at her though she
did nothing wrong. I hatted the way I was treating her but I didnt
want to hurt her by telling her I was sick. She came and knocked on my
bedroom door the second night I didnt sleep in our usual bed-- the one
we'd sleep together in. She came in, tears in her eyes. She starred at
me and the pain in my heart became almost unbearable. I hatted seeing
her cry. She came to me and I grabbed her in my arms and held her,
kissed her as she starred at the floor, still crying. "What did I do
wrong? Why won't you talk to me? Why won't you look at me?" she said
while sobbing. I stayed quiet, still holding her, feeling a sharp pain
in my heart. Tears ran down my cheeks, she looked at me, "whats
wrong?" she asked, "I've been keeping something from you. I have to
go." I replied. "Go where?" "I dont know, I need a brake," I said. I
got up and as I gathered my things she stood, starring at the floor,
then at me, then the floor again. I couldn't tell her I was on death
row, it would destroy her. I took my things and left.
After that she kept texting and calling me and finally gave up when
she didnt get a reply. Three weeks later I stood in Albertsons with my
things, heading toward the produce as I heard my name being called. I
turned around and it was her. She stood there with a sad look in her
eyes. She came up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, "I miss
you so much," she said, kissing my cheek. I stood there frazzled. She
kept her arms around my neck and I slowly put my arms around her
waist, "I miss you, too." We talked for about 10 minutes then I spoke
up, "I need to tell you something, can I take you out for a cup of
coffee in about an hour or so?" She nodded. I hugged her tightly and
finished shopping then put my things in the car.
I drove home and thought about her the whole way. After I took my
groceries home I went and got her. "What did you need to tell me?" She
asked. A tear ran down my left cheek and I sniffled then shut my eyes
tightly. She brushed my cheek lightly with the back of her hand. I
grabbed hold of her hand and kissed it. "I..I've been pushing you away
lately because somethings wrong." She began to look worried. "I'm
gonna die soon, according to my doctor. I'm very sick. I have a blood
disease and it's starting to affect my heart now. It's life
threatening and incurable. Im lucky everyday more I have." She came to
my side of the table and hugged me, crying as if her eyes were
faucets. I kissed her head, whispering "no, dont cry, dont be sad."
She sniffled, "why didnt you tell me earlier?" she asked. "I couldn't,
I didnt want to hurt you. I didnt want to become worthless to you. I
didnt want to be a burden," she stayed quiet, still crying. "How long
have you known?" She asked. "Almost 2 months," I said. By now she was
out of tears, hugging me tightly she smiled at me, "Thank you for
telling me. I'm glad you're here now. You're the best boyfriend I
could ever ask for, you're perfect," she began getting chocked up. "I
just. Cant believe you're being ripped away from me and I cant do
anything.
You're all I've ever wanted." I kissed her cheek and squeezed her
tightly. "Dont be sad," I whispered. "Can we live together again?" she
asked. I agreed and moved back into what was my house to begin with
once again. That night we cuddled and she kept me up for fear of
losing me. When I finally got her to fall asleep I began to think what
a lucky guy I was and how thankful I was for her and how much of a
blessing she was in my life. I went to sleep with tears in my eyes
that night. When I woke up I cooked her breakfast and we spent all day
together. That night I watched her sleep, she was so damn cute. Then I
went to sleep while hugging her. The next morning I was woken up being
covered in kisses. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. We continued
having a great relationship for about a week until I didnt show up
from work. She was so worried, she kept calling and texting me and my
co-workers. My friend finally called her and told her to come to the
hospital.
When she got there her explained to her that I passed out at work and
died then the ambulance revived me. She cried. I was in a coma for 3
days and when I woke up she was holding my hand. I smiled at her and
told her I loved her. I didnt know what was going on until the doctor
explained it to me. That night I lay in my hospital bed, starring at
her, kissing her hand. Our eyes met and I squeezed her hand, a tear
ran down her cheek, "its okay," I told her. "Its not! I dont want it
to end like this, I cant let it," she cried. Tears then ran down my
cheeks, "its okay to let go, sweetie. Its alright to let me go. It'll
all be okay, you can go on. You have your whole life ahead of you, im
just a chapter in your life, its okay to let go now, sweetie," i said.
She continued crying, I kissed her cheek, feeling a sharp, cold
feeling inside.
