in slaying. Lo! he will be helped.

Commentary
It has been commanded in this verse that killing a
mankind is forbidden by Allah Almighty. None should slay any other, but only in
the form; when the violence of the oppressor is proved. Punishment of homicide
is only; either in the law of retaliation or for those who are guilty of
adultery while they are married or who have been renegades from Islam.
Then it is commanded that the person who is slain being
wrongfully, his heir is empowered by the Religious Law that he should sue
against the murderer for blood money, and after the decision of the ruler, the
Government should slay him. Hiding the bloodshed, having the killer released by
giving a bribe or violating the Justice in any form is legally forbidden.
Moreover, killing with pains, for example, cutting limbs etc. or killing by
tormenting is also forbidden.
“Being helped” means that it is incumbent to every
individual that they should help the heir of the slain person in retaliating
with justice.
It is known from this verse that any person should
not take revenge himself because there is a risk in it that he can cross the
line at the time of retaliating and can be guilty of violence himself. The person
who feels danger for his life and kills any other, his heirs can also claim on
it so that it may be proved in the court that in fact it was violence of the
killed person and actually the killer slew him to save own life.
