Killing A Human Being

Allah, the Almighty, says, {If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein (for ever); and the wrath and curse of Allah are upon him, and a dreadful chastisement is prepared for him.} (An-Nisa:93)

{Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication,’ and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.} (Al-Furqan:68)

{On that account: We ordained for the children of Israel that 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.} (AI- Ma’ida:32)

{When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned for what crime she killed.} (Al- Takwir: 8-9)

Punishment For Killing A Muslim

Narrated Said bin Jubair: ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abza said, “Ask Ibn ‘Abbas about these two Qur’anic Verses:’Nor kill such life as Allah has made sacred, Except for just cause.'(25.168); And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.'(4.93)

So I asked Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “When the Verse that is in Sura-al-Furqan was revealed, the pagans of Mecca said, ‘But we have slain such life as Allah has made sacred, and we have invoked other gods along with Allah, and we have also committed fornication.’ So Allah revealed: ‘Except those who repent, believe, and do good.'(25.70)

So this Verse was concerned with those people. As for the Verse in Surat-an-Nisa (4-93), it means that if a man, after understanding Islam and its laws and obligations, murders somebody, then his punishment is to dwell in the (Hell) Fire forever.” Then I mentioned this to Mujahid who said, “Except the one who regrets (one’s crime).”

Killing Of The Innocent, Earns Allah’s Eternal Wrath

[Allah’s Quran – 4:92-93] “AND IT IS not conceivable that a believer should slay another believer unless it be by mistake……………………. But whoever deliberately slays another believer, his requital shall be hell, therein to abide; and God will condemn him, and will reject him, and will prepare for him awesome suffering.”

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) has said:
[Muslim, Book #020, Hadith #4555] “Who so attacks my Umma (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security-he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him.”

[Bukhari, Book #58, Hadith #233] “Narrated ‘Ubada bin As Samit: I was one of the Naqibs who gave the (Aqaba) Pledge of Allegiance to Allah’s Apostle. We gave the pledge of allegiance to him that we would not worship anything other than Allah, would not steal, would not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill a person whose killing Allah has made illegal except rightfully, would not rob each other, and we would not be promised Paradise if we did the above sins, then if we committed one of the above sins, Allah will give His Judgment concerning it.”

[Muslim, Book #017, Hadith #4238] “Ubida b. as-Samit reported: I was one of those headmen who swore allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) that we will not associate anything with Allah, and will not commit adultery, and will not steal, and will not kill any soul which Allah has forbidden, but with justice nor plunder, nor disobey (Allah and His Apostle), then Paradise (will be the reward) in case we do these (acts); and if we commit any outrage (and that goes unpunished in the world), it is Allah Who would decide about it. Ibn Rumh said: Its judgment lies with Allah.”

[Sunan Abu Dawud, Book #14, Hadith #2526] “Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, “There is no god but Allah” and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.”
