Salam Davdas Uncle, Thanks for your email everyday. I am very much sorry because I didn't reply your email before. Today I have got some explanation about your last e-mail. Lie: The Messenger of Allah said: You must be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Sins are classified into two types: The major sins and minor sins.
Human Rights in Islam : There is no Honor Killing in Holy Quran and Islam. It is the kind of Tribal Tradition practiced by such Tribe.. This Kind of Command is never, ever found in the Holy Quran. It is Illegal Practice by Tribal People, Not by true Muslim. It's Haram- Forbidden for them. Islam never fought nations but fought only despotic authorities. Islamic war was one of liberation and not of compulsion. Muslims are prohibited from opening hostilities without properly declaring war against the enemy, unless the adversary has already started aggression against them. It was long before the Magna Carta and When these rights were revealed in the Holy Quran and detailed in the prophet's sayings, they were put into action. This is the difference between Allah's laws and man-made laws that can be violated or changed or modified. The first and the foremost basic right in Islam is the right to live and the respect of human life. The holy Quran and the traditional sayings and acts of the prophet strictly impose the following injunctions during the time of peace and the time of war. •No one should be burned alive or tortured with fire. •Wounded soldiers who are neither unfit to fight, nor actually fighting, should not be attacked. •Prisoners of war should not be killed. •It is prohibited to kill anyone who is tied up or in captivity. •Residential areas should not be pillaged, plundered or destroyed, nor should the Muslims touch the property of anyone except those who are fighting against them. •Muslims must not take anything from the general public of the conquered country without paying for it. •The corpses of the enemy must not be disgraced or mutilated.. •Corpses of the enemy should be returned. • Treaties must not be broken. In Islam, taking one's life is equal to taking the life of the whole of the world, how a heinous picture! God says in the holy Quran what means " Whosoever kills a human being without (any reason like) man slaughter, or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind ... (5:32) This Holy verse refers to the killing of Moslem or non-Moslem . As far as the question of taking life in retaliation for murder or the question of punishment for spreading corruption on this earth is concerned, it can be decided only by a proper and competent court of law. If there is any war with any nation or country, it can be decided only by a properly established government. In any case, no human being has any right by himself to take human life in retaliation or for causing mischief on this earth. Therefore it is incumbent on every human being that under no circumstances should he be guilty of taking a human life. If anyone has murdered a human being, it is as if he has slain the entire human race. These instructions have been repeated in the Holy Quran in another place saying: "Do not kill a soul which Allah has made sacred except through the due process of law ... (6:151) " .No racialism in Islam , all people are equal before the Divine law . Some religions, being distorted, give every privilege to their adherents only. This is not the case in Islam, the word "soul " is significant , it refers to all people , irrespective of their religions or creeds . In Islam the human soul is sacred. Nothing is as bad as polytheism in Islam ,the Prophet, may God's blessings be on him, has declared homicide as the greatest sin only next to polytheism. The Tradition of the Prophet reads: "The greatest sins are to associate something with God and to kill a soul (human beings.)" In all verses of the Quran and the Traditions of the Prophet the word 'soul' (nafs) has been used in general terms without any distinction or particularization which might have lent itself to the elucidation that the persons belonging to one's nation, the citizens of one's country, the people of a particular race or religion should not be killed. The injunction applies to all human beings and the destruction of human life in itself has been prohibited. Many Hadiths were said by the prophet in this regard , one of the most important Hadith is that which likens the belief in Allah as a circle in which a Moslem should confine himself ; if he kills ,he will throw himself out of this circle , prophet Mohummed says " A Moslem can remain within the sphere of belief in Allah as long as he doesn't take one's life" The Prophet (SAWS) has forbidden burning people with fire. He said, "Lord of fire is the only One Who can punish by fire.", narrated by Abu-Dawud and al-Dârimî. Gandhi, when contemplating on the ethics of Mohummed especially those which mirror the true picture of the prophet, was moved to say " "I become more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days. (Young And also Alphonse de LaMartaine says " "If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?... "'Historie de la Turquie,' Neitherdid Abo-Baker nor did his successors, who were imbued with the luminous teachings of the prophet forget to inculcate the same injunctions (after the death of the prophet) in the hearts of the war leaders. Abo-Baker , being filled with the light of the prophet's teachings , used to remind his leaders saying " "Do not betray or be treacherous or vindictive. Do not mutilate. Do not kill the children, the aged or the women. Do not cut or bum palm trees or fruitful trees. Don't slay a sheep, a cow or camel except for your food. And you will come across people who confined themselves to worship in hermitages, leave them alone to what they devoted themselves for." In five successive international law conferences, law scientists spoke vociferously about how the Islamic law meets the human needs. Having studied the Islamic law, those scientists issued the following recommendations: The Islamic jurisprudence is to be another reference when comparing different jurisprudences. The Islamic law is independent and irrelative to the Roman law or any other law .The Islamic law is valid for every age and place. The Islamic law is to be represented in the international law and in International Court of Justice. In the Comparative Law Conference of The Hague in (1932), the French jurist (Lambert), referred to the great appreciation that began to prevail amongst European and American jurists concerning the Islamic law at the present time, He said "I needn't quote some of the Islamic Laws to justify what I am saying about them, The Islamic law implies rules that, if formulated creatively, would be of so useful. Many western jurists admitted the favour of the Islamic law over the international law, among those are Vito Rea and Baron "Michel de Taub. George Bernard Shaw , comic dramatist, literary critic, and socialist propagandist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925., says " "I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving the problems in a way that would bring the much needed peace and happiness.
