.....On
that moment of very first killing on earth,
WE ordained…
If anyone kills a human
Unless it be in punishment for murder or be in punishment
For spreading violence and disturbance on earth,
It shall be as
If he has slain all mankind,
Whereas if anyone saves a human life,
It shall be as
If he has saved the lives of all mankind…"
(From
Holy Qur'an 5/32)
