Ayah 29

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَأۡكُلُوٓاْ أَمۡوَٰلَكُم بَيۡنَكُم بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةً عَن تَرَاضٖ مِّنكُمۡۚ وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا

29. O believers! Do not consume one another's wealth unjustly [117], except through mutual consent in trade [118]. And do not kill yourselves [119]. Indeed, Allah is Ever Merciful to you.

Ayah 66

وَلَوۡ أَنَّا كَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنِ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱخۡرُجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِكُم مَّا فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ فَعَلُواْ مَا يُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ تَثۡبِيتٗا

66. And if We had to make it obligatory [222] upon them that kill yourselves and go out leaving your homes [223], then only a few of them would have done so [224]. And if they do what they are advised, then it was better for them and stronger in establishing faith [225].

Ayah 91

سَتَجِدُونَ ءَاخَرِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَأۡمَنُوكُمۡ وَيَأۡمَنُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ أُرۡكِسُواْ فِيهَاۚ فَإِن لَّمۡ يَعۡتَزِلُوكُمۡ وَيُلۡقُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ وَيَكُفُّوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكُمۡ جَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٗا مُّبِينٗا

91. Now you will find others who wish to be safe from you and safe [287] from their own people. Whenever they are called back to mischief [288], they fall headlong into it. If they do not withdraw from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill [290] them wherever you find them. We have given you clear authority [291] against such people.

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 91

Ayah 92

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ أَن يَقۡتُلَ مُؤۡمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـٔٗاۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤۡمِنًا خَطَـٔٗا فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖ وَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُواْۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمٍ عَدُوّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٞ فَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ تَوۡبَةٗ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا

92. And it is not befitting for a believer (Muslim) to kill a believer except by mistake [292]. If anyone kills a believer unintentionally, then he must free a Muslim slave and pay blood money (restitution) to the family of the deceased, unless they forgo [293] their right. But if the deceased was from a people who are hostile to you, and he himself [294] was a believer, then the obligation is only to free a Muslim slave. And if he was from a people with whom you have a pact [295], then blood compensation should be paid to his family along with freeing a believing slave [296]. However, if someone cannot find the means to do this, they should fast for two consecutive months. This is repentance accepted by Allah [297]. And Allah is Ever-Knowing, All-Wise.

Ayah 54

وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ فَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

54. And (recall) when Musa said to his people: "O my people! Indeed, you have wronged yourselves by taking the calf for worship. So, repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [99] (the guilty among you). That is best for you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance. Surely, He is the Most-Relenting, the Merciful.

Ayah 87

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَقَفَّيۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ بِٱلرُّسُلِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَا عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَيَّدۡنَٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُكُمُ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتُمۡ فَفَرِيقٗا كَذَّبۡتُمۡ وَفَرِيقٗا تَقۡتُلُونَ

87.[161] And verily We bestowed upon Musa the Scripture and then appointed Messengers of Allah (Rasools) in sequence. And we clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit (the angel bestowed upon Isa, son of Mariam Jibraeel) (162). But is it (not) that every time a Messenger came to you with what your souls did not desire, you became arrogant? (163). falsify a group (Messengers of Allah) and you kill another group (164).

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 87

Ayah 91

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤۡمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُۥ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا مَعَهُمۡۗ قُلۡ فَلِمَ تَقۡتُلُونَ أَنۢبِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ مِن قَبۡلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

91. And when it is said to them: "Believe in what Allah has revealed," [172] they say: "We believe only in what was revealed to us." And they reject what came besides it, though it is the truth, confirming [173] what is with them. Say (O Muhammad): "Then why did you kill the Prophets of Allah before, [174] if you were indeed believers?"

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 91

Ayah 191

وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡ وَأَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ أَخۡرَجُوكُمۡۚ وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقَٰتِلُوهُمۡ عِندَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ حَتَّىٰ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ فِيهِۖ فَإِن قَٰتَلُوكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡۗ كَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

191. And slay [435] them wherever you find them, and turn [436] them out from where they have turned you out; and mischief [437] is worse than murder. And do not fight them near the Sacred Mosque unless they fight you therein. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 191

Ayah 217

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّهۡرِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ قِتَالٖ فِيهِۖ قُلۡ قِتَالٞ فِيهِ كَبِيرٞۚ وَصَدٌّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَكُفۡرُۢ بِهِۦ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ وَإِخۡرَاجُ أَهۡلِهِۦ مِنۡهُ أَكۡبَرُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ أَكۡبَرُ مِنَ ٱلۡقَتۡلِۗ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَن دِينِكُمۡ إِنِ ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْۚ وَمَن يَرۡتَدِدۡ مِنكُمۡ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَيَمُتۡ وَهُوَ كَافِرٞ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

217. They ask you (O Muhammad) about fighting in the sacred month. Say: "Fighting therein is a great sin [507], but to prevent someone from the Way of Allah and disbelief in Him, and preventing access to Masjid-al-Haraam, and driving out its residents are greater sins [508] in the sight of Allah. Mischief is more grievous than killing [509]. And they will continue to fight you until they force you to renounce your faith [510] if they can. And whoever of you turns back from his faith [511] and dies as a disbeliever, for them, their deeds have become worthless in this world [512] and in the Hereafter, and they are the inmates of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.

127. And the chiefs [262] of Pharaoh's people said: "Will you leave Musa and his people to cause mischief in the land and forsake you and your gods?" He said: "We shall kill their sons and keep their women alive [263], and indeed we have full control over them [264]."

That is nothing but Your test [341], whereby You cause those to go astray whom You will, and guide whom You will [342]. You are our Protector. So forgive us and have mercy upon us.

ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَلَّا نُؤۡمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡتِيَنَا بِقُرۡبَانٖ تَأۡكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُۗ قُلۡ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبۡلِي بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِي قُلۡتُمۡ فَلِمَ قَتَلۡتُمُوهُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ
