Surah An-Nahl Ayat 106

Dalam ayat ini, Allah swt menerangkan tentang ancaman keras terhadap riddah (murtad) yakni kufur kembali sesudah beriman, mengutama-kan kesesatan dari petunjuk (hidayah)-Nya. Mereka mendapat kemurkaan dan azab Allah, kecuali dalam kondisi terpaksa. Misalnya, mereka menyatakan murtad dengan lidah karena jiwanya terancam, namun hati mereka tetap penuh dengan keimanan. Tidak ada dosa dan tuntutan hukum kepadanya, selama ia tetap beriman. Rasulullah bersabda: Tidak dicatat amal umatku (karena) kekeliruan, lupa, dan mereka terpaksa. (Riwayat ath-thabrani dari sauban)

Whoever disbelieves in God after having affirmed his faith — except for him who is compelled to pronounce a statement of unbelief and so pronounces it while his heart is at rest in faith man ‘whoever’ is either a subject or a conditional and so the predicate of this subject or the response to this conditional is an implied lahum wa‘īdun shadīd ‘there is for them a severe threat of chastisement’; this is indicated by the statement that follows — but he who opens up his breast to unbelief that is he who opens it up and expands it with unbelief meaning that his soul is content with it upon such shall be wrath from God and there is a great chastisement for them.
