Message of Peace

 

 

"You shall not kill any person - for GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice..." (Quran17:33)

 

The laws of the previous scriptures that applied to previous generations and current generation are repeated and emphasied for the Muslims in the Quran. Muslims are commanded to follow such laws. Quran reiterates:

 

 

 

"......, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people." (Quran 5:32)

 

 

The religion of Islam condemns the killing or even the persecution of people merely because they embrace a different religion. The Quran mandates the absolute freedom of religion in a society. It does not allow Muslims to fight except for self defense and to enforce peace. It does not allow restrictions on  those who disagree on religious matters. It urges the Muslims to treat such people kindly and equitably.
