Gast | The Djinn Encounters
In the Koran is written
Sure 72-13
Zitat: | And indeed when we heard the Guidance (this Qur'ân), we believed therein, and whosoever believes in his Lord shall have no fear, either of a decrease in the reward of his good deeds or an increase in punishment for his sins. |
So if you have faith in your god you don´t need to be afraid.
You won´t be punished.
Eko

In Episode "2x10 - 23. Psalm" Eko has faith in god. Charlotte Malkin told Eko that Yemi said that Eko is a good priest and he´s proud of him. On the island Eko didn´t speak for 40 days because he sinned.
At the latest since Eko knows about the drug statues he knows Yemi (´s body) is on the island which has to be a miracle.
So his faith is great.
Eko: Zitat: | I was not afraid of it. |
Damon Lindelof in the audio commentary:Zitat: | And that´s the key there. It means, Eko wasn´t afraid of the smoke and eh eh we actually have talked about this a little bit before and you know this is the significance in terms of why the smoke monster didn´t harm him. |
So Smokey couldn´t/didn´t want to harm Eko because he has faith and no fear.

In "3x05 - The Cost of Living" Eko is different.
For better understanding this we got a flashback from his childhood.
As a kid Eko steals food for Yemi but he doesn´t want to confess because it was for a greater good. He doesn´t accept it was a sin
and not to confess is against god. He doesn´t believe.
The same thing happens several years later.
Zitat: | Eko: I ask for no forgiveness father for i have not sinned. I´ve only done what i needed to survive...
Yemi: You speak to me as if i were your brother.
Eko: (totally afraid and weird) Who are you? WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU? |
This is the same thing. Although he is faithfull he won´t accept this was a sin. This is against his belief and so he got judged by Smokey.
Eko was killed because he has no more faith/he was afraid.
