Q
How does Islam view the act of taking a life unjustly and its consequences?
A
A man said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Which sin is the biggest in Allah’s Sight?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “To set

“To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.” The man said, “What is next?” The
Prophet said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.” Then Allah
revealed in confirmation of that: “And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor kill such
life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever
does this shall receive the punishment….. (25.68)
