“…if anyone slew a person unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if anyone saved a life it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people.” Qur’an 5: 32 “…take not life which Allah hath made sacred except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you…” Qur’an 6: 151
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you.” Qur’an 49: 13
For those who do read the above but follow not:
“And if any fail to judge by what Allah hath revealed they are the evil-doers.” Qur’an 5 : 45
“Nor be of those who reject the Signs of Allah or thou shalt be of those who perish.” Qur’an 10: 95
“And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully. And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell.” Qur’an 72 : 14 – 15
- Defending against transgressions and oppressions
- is a blameless act:
“But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them against such there is no cause of blame. The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land defying right and justice: for such there will be a Penalty grievous.” Qur’an 42: 41-42
“…persecution is worse than slaughter.” Qur’an 2: 191
- The persecutors who do not turn in repentance,
- will have the Burning Fire:
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers. And they (the persecutors) ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, worthy of all Praise! — Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things. Those who persecute the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: they will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire. For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens. Beneath which Rivers flow: that is the great Salvation (the fulfillment of all desires). Qur’an 85: 8 to 11
Allah is the Master Planner, and He grants the persecutors the respite for a while As for them they are but plotting a scheme. And I am planning a scheme. Therefore grant a delay to the unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for a while). Qur’an 86 : 15 to 17
