NOTE

Justice is Not a Solo Act

Muslims living in the West must understand that they cannot take the law into their own hands, as vigilante justice is prohibited in Islamic teachings. This principle applies to all forms of justice, including punishments related to apostasy and other laws. The enforcement of such laws cannot be justified in modern nation-states, even those with predominantly Muslim populations, as doing so would likely result in injustice due to the broader socio-psychological implications inherent in the state's legal framework. Islamic laws are interconnected with various other legal and economic systems, emphasizing the importance of a structured legal system rather than individual interpretation or action.
