“Say,
“Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands]
that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good
treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide
for you and them. And do not approach immoralities – what is apparent
of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has
forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed
you that you may use reason.” (Al-An`am 6:151)
n the Qur’an, we also read the story of Abel and Cain but with different details:
And
recite to them the story of Adam’s two sons, in truth, when they both
offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but
was not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], “I will surely kill
you.” Said [the former], “Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous
[who fear Him].
If you
should raise your hand against me to kill me – I shall not raise my hand
against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Indeed I
want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among
the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers.”
And his soul permitted to him the murder of his brother, so he killed him and became among the losers.
Then
Allah sent a crow searching in the ground to show him how to hide the
disgrace of his brother. He said, “O woe to me! Have I failed to be like
this crow and hide the body of my brother?” And he became of the
regretful.
Because
of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a
soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as
if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he
had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to
them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that,
throughout the land, were transgressors. (Al-Ma’idah 5:27-32)
