In some Arab countries you find no prescribed punishment for disbelief, nor for the worst disbelief like cursing Allah. Rather, you find a general text as follows: (Shall be punished by imprisonment for a period not exceeding three months or a fine not exceeding twenty (country's currency) whoever utters in a public place and within hearing of another person a word or sound that would lead to insulting that person's religious feeling or belief).

1. So the problem isn't in cursing Allah or mocking His religion. Meaning there's no sanctity in this law for Allah or His religion, no difference between the true religion and false religions, rather the problem is ((only)) hurting someone's religious feeling. Therefore, if you say to a cow worshipper among the workers present in the country: (This cow of yours is a beast that neither harms nor benefits) and his "religious feeling" is hurt, he can sue you under the same law, and one who curses Allah and one who curses a cow are equal in punishment!!

2. If we assume someone cursed Allah and His messengers with the vilest words in a public place and none of the passersby complained of their religious feeling being hurt, there's no punishment for this person!

3. The punishment's maximum limit only was specified, therefore if the judge punishes one who cursed Allah with a fine of a shilling, five, a dirham...he has implemented the law!

4. One of the lawyers I know in an Arab country witnessed a session where the female judge ruled on one who cursed Allah with five bills (of his country's currency), meaning equivalent to a meal, and said: Come on, it's simple...and the gathering dispersed quite simply, and all's well that ends well!

5. This is while we're talking about Allah's right, our Creator and Creator of the heavens and earth, who described those who said what's improper about Him (without intending explicit cursing): (You have done an atrocious thing (89) The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation).

Our consolation is Allah's saying: (And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection)....on the Day of Resurrection: (To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allah, the One, the Prevailing).
