Answer 6: According to some traditions, istikhara by Quran has also been reported but it is not known whether or not he who makes an istikhara understands the Quranic verses correctly. For this reason, one should refer to a learned and well-informed person for istikhara. Do not violate the istikhara unless you change the situation.

Answer 6: I ask you to pray to God for me to grant me perfection also but Almighty God says "And that man hath only that for which he maketh effort." {Al-Najm:39} Of course, this is a divine tradition which means that a man cannot gain perfection unless he strives for it. In addition, one must seek divine assistance and be submissive to God. He should also resort to the prophets and the infallibles for help. They can help with God's permission.

Answer 1: If an apostate expresses his apostasy, he will be sentenced to death. In case, he does not express or announce it openly, he will not get such a punishment. In fact, by expressing his apostasy, the apostate has waged a war against the religion, God and His prophet. He should therefore be killed. We believe the religion of Islam is based on logic, wisdom and rationality. There is no way one can use his sound intellect yet he denies the religion of Islam which is the most perfect and comprehensive of divine religions. It incorporates all pre-revealed divine religions with more perfect laws and codes of practice. Moreover, freedom does not mean going against such a religion whose aim is to bring prosperity for humanity. Perhaps, an apostate, by his act, may cause others to deviate from the right path. For this reason, he should be killed. Finally, an apostate is like a fierce and ferocious animal that has to be annihilated. In addition, you should understand that the very law will have its impact on the people who may, out of their carnal desires, want to stand against this divine religion.
