Murder - Retaliation Of The Murder

 

Retaliation of Murder is the same (L-207)

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا كُتِبَ عَلَيكُمُ القِصاصُ فِي القَتلَى ۖ الحُرُّ بِالحُرِّ وَالعَبدُ بِالعَبدِ وَالأُنثىٰ بِالأُنثىٰ ۚ 178a.

178a.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina  ‘aa-manuu kutiba  ‘alaykumul-Qisaasu  fil-qatlaa.  ‘Al-hurru  bil-hurri  wal-‘abdu  bil-‘abdi  wal-‘unsaa  bil-‘unsaa.

178a.  O you who believe! Retaliation for the murdered is ordained upon you: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female.

Qisaasun – (Retaliation), that is to say, for taking the revenge against any crime keeping it in equality/balance. According to the Divine’s Law, technically the murderer will be killed or if anybody has injured to any other person, he will be punished with the wound at the same scale and the same part of the body.

During the times of darkness before Islam, it was a custom among the Arabians that if any person from any higher family was killed, they used to kill many persons from the family of the murderer. If any slave was killed from the higher family, they used to kill any freeman from the family of killer whether the killer would also be a slave because they used to consider that the respect of higher family’s slave was equal to the freeman of a lower family; also it was more than that. So instead of killing the slave, any freeman was killed in revenge. Then if any female was killed from the higher family by a female from the lower family, the heirs of the murdered female used to kill any male of that lower family leaving the murderer female. Because they used to think that their female was equal of the male of lower family. 

Holy Qur’an finished this racial distinction and difference, and commanded that being mankind, entire people are equal, their lives are alike, whether any individual is rich or poor, noble or mean, scholar or illiterate, young or old, healthy or ailing, male or female. If any female kills any male then only that woman should be killed. Because her life is equal to that male’s life. If any slave is the killer then only he will be killed. If any mean person has murdered then in retaliation that mean person will be killed only, not any other individual. https://youtu.be/SAGw2JGOaVQ
