The Right Of Choice When It Comes To Belief
A Muslim must make an informed decision to remain a Muslim too. Being born a Muslim will not earn him any reward from God until he has investigated their religion and made a informed decision to stay Muslim. If a born Muslim is not convinced of religion or sect he found himself in, then it is understandable that they may seek truth elsewhere. However because many Muslims who have investigated their religion properly realized that they were born next to the truth, they don’t leave Islam. This is the burden of being born next to the truth in the same sense as being born in the time of Messenger of God and you have no choice at that point except to accept him or be punished by God. And while some non-Muslims may not be convinced of Islam enough to accept it, they are still expected to follow the truth they do know (e.g basic morality, the message of the prophet they did accept etc). There is really no choice in front of the truth for a honest truth seeker, you must be surrendering to truth where ever you find God and are convinced or there will be consequences. This is not a matter of picking a faith you like, you have no choice but to accept truth in whatever form it comes. For the truth-seeker that comes out of a Muslim household, it just so happens the truth was waiting right next to him with a heavy burden that is different from a non-Muslim’s trial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlmPnhJ9JqM
