Killing Innocent People is Completely Prohibited in Islam

Enamul Hafiz Latifee writes,


Human life is not simply a number that you will count 1, 2, 3...and will kill people, whether it is going on with Syrian Citizens or happened with French Citizens, a single life is worth of whole world, let it not get killed for silly geopolitical reasons.

Till there is life, there is way for making negotiations, and till there is way to make negotiations and you are not wounded by someone Islam doesn't permit you to attack anyone. X has attacked you, by following that incident a Muslim cannot kill Y, this doesn't make any sense.

And not only Muslim but all the believers of Abrahamic Monotheism are ordered not to kill a soul unjustly but to save a life by the following Quranic verse,

"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."

One may watch the powerful reminder that has been addressed by Mufti Menk here,

Dr. Zakir Naik illustrates this also taking the situation of sub-continent unrest,

A more in-depth analysis has been presented by him at this following video message,

Hopefully, people who are trapped in between truth and falsehood about this particular issue will get enlightened through this. And surely, the almighty Allah knows the best.

Monotheism Campaign: One God

Written by Enamul Hafiz Latifee,


From the prophetic legacy, the first man thus prophet Adam (pbuh) to the last prophet Muhammad (pbuh), we have been always guided to the way of Monotheism by the wish of almighty Allah, verily whenever we were in the crises in terms of innovating so many gods beside the one true God who is only worthy to be worshiped. 

In Old Testament we find Moses (pbuh) is saying,

"To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides him." (Deuteronomy 4, Verse No. 35)

Moses (pbuh) repeats in a similar way in another verse,

"Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other." (Deuteronomy 4, Verse No. 39)

And just on the later verse, Moses (pbuh) is seen to make aware his people not to get deviated from this path of Monotheism, i.e., believing in One God, which is,

"So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time."  (Deuteronomy 4, Verse No. 40)

And that is why, as the Torah, the Holy Book of Jews usually (e.g., sometimes it is used to mean whole Jewish Bible) is referred to contain five Books of Moses (pbuh) (i.e., Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) justifies singularity of the God, and establishes uniqueness of Him and none is besides Him so that Judaism contextually stands on the basement of Monotheism.

In the Old Testament, from the narration of Isaiah (pbuh) we see that the God is declaring oneness of Him to the prophet,

"I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the LORD, and there is no other." (Isaiah 45, Verses No. 5 and 6)

Later on, prophet Jesus (pbuh) has proclaimed (i.e., which set of books are known as New Testament) about the uniqueness of God and He is One, and to believe this is the most important commandment.

"And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him.
And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions." (Mark 12, Verses No. 28- 34)

Even going on a more clear way, Jesus (pbuh) expresses to his disciples that the one and only God, (i.e., the Lord, the Father) is greater than him and he is going to return to Him only.

"You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I." (John 14, Verse No. 28)

Moreover, there is no unequal or unambiguous statement where prophet Jesus (pbuh) has claimed himself as God by asking all to worship him, however, if he has claimed then it would not be regarded as Monotheism but would be transformed into Polytheism which is now present at the religion, Hinduism. Perhaps, true teachings of Jesus (pbuh) also establishes the uniqueness of God, besides whom there is none, and so that alike the Judaism, Christianity is also based on the same platform.

We have been known from the Holy Qur'an and the Sahih-al-Hadith that the legacy of prophecy has come to the end through the last messenger of God, Muhammad (pbuh). And the religion, Islam believes that the God termed as the Allah is one, and none but He is worth to be worshiped. This sole uniqueness can be better understand by the following verses of the Qur'an,

"Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allah, (the) One. 
Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
He begets not, nor was He begotten.
And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." (Surat Al-'Ikhlas, The Qur'an, Chapter No. 112, Verses No. 1-4)

As if Islam also believes in Monotheism, the last religion formed in the basis of the last prophet Muhammad (pbuh), then we can surely say it the Abrahimic followings thus religions emerged time to time has consistently put faith on one God but none.

Malice in Humanitarian organization's heart?

Quoting from the Old Testament,

"Thus says the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines acted revengefully and took vengeance with malice of soul to destroy in never-ending enmity, therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the rest of the seacoast. I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them."

Source: Chapter number 25, Verse number 15- 17, Book of Ezekiel.

According to the Qur'an,

"But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment."

Source: Chapter number 4, Verse number 18, Surat An-Nisā'.

From these above quotes you may find lots of points to discuss, but my simple to take your attention is that if you do wrong after wrong, then you will be punished for must.
Well, what I mean to say is that, through the thousands of years of prophetic legacy the almighty, God has always stepped against the people who were not righteous, and have always has declared to punish them for their evil deeds.

So, who the hell is some so called and self-claimed humanitarian organizations who try to protect the terrorists and play movements all over the world to safeguard those being slaughtered by saying that it's the violation of human rights. So to them, my question is, dear fellows, does not it violate anything when a killer kills other innocent people or a rapist rape a girl? What are you for, to protect human rights for actual or are some tools to work with propaganda for protecting world mafias?
