What happens if I leave Islam?
In some families and countries, real danger. Take it seriously, stay private, and do not act alone. You are not the first, and God sees you.
The classical apostasy law rests on Sahih al-Bukhari 6922, and in several countries leaving Islam can still bring prison, violence, loss of family or worse. We will never ask you to put yourself in danger. This site keeps no profile on you by default; use private mode and the quick exit (or press Esc twice) if you need to.
Jesus told his followers the cost honestly, and promised he would never leave them. Many believers from Muslim backgrounds follow him quietly for a long time. Talk to God in your own words; he hears.
