and Allah says in the Qur’an, (Nor take life, which Allah has made sacred, except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, We have given his heir authority (to demand Qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the law)) (Al-Israa’ 17: 33).
According to the Qur’an, killing any person without a just cause is as big a sin as killing the whole humanity and saving the life of one person is as good deed as saving the whole humanity.
(See Al-Ma’idah 5: 32)
2 how does islam view sucide bomb?
- killing civilians is haram ; killing armed soldiers is part of Jihad - that's what I understand . U may ask a mufti.
And
what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, illtreated and oppressed among men,
women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help."
( سورة النساء , An-Nisa, Chapter
#4, Verse
#75)
...Dr. Zakir Nair has said jihad which is often translated and recognized as holy war is actually not holy war and is meant for striving in the way of Allah.
,,
Dr. Zakir said that during a time when world media is so hostile to Islam and there are so many misconceptions about it, there is a crying need for the media in the Islamic world to wake up and strive to remove these misconceptions and explain the true Islam.
He said because of this dire situation, conveying the message of Allah is foremost and it is the greatest jihad Muslims must carry out. Referring to various jihads, Dr. Zakir said serving parents is a worthy and rewarding jihad, and divulging truth against a tyrant ruler is also a jihad. Migrating from wrong to right is also a jihad, the scholar explained.
