LIFE

SACRIFICING LIFE

Your life does not belong to you. That is why you are not allowed to live it as you wish. You should live it in the way that pleases the one who gave you life. 

There is no one except Allah Ta’ala who has given us life. Therefore, we must live according to the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala. To live according to the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala means to give / sacrifice one’s life for the One who has given life. 

SUICIDE

Since your life does not belong to you, it means that you are not allowed to end it just like that. Ending life just like that is called suicide. And suicide is Haraam. It attracts the wrath of Allah Ta’ala and there is a very severe punishment for it.

TAKING LIFE

If you are not allowed to take your own life, you are not allowed to take the life of others all the more. Taking the life of only one person represents a crime towards the entire humanity. 

ABORTION

Abortion is also a means of taking the life of someone else which does not belong to you. It may be in your womb but if even your life does not belong to you, then how can the life of the one who is in your womb belong to you? Therefore, how can you take a life which does not belong to you? This also represents a crime towards the entire humanity. The biggest culprit and greatest terrorist are those who legalise it. If killing one who has not yet come to earth is a crime, then killing a person who is already living on earth is an even greater crime. 

TERRORISM

From this, we can get an idea to what extent the countries that have bombarded the innocent ones are great criminals. And they have the guts and audacity to say that it is you who is a terrorist. But you are not a terrorist. You are the greatest humanist. You are called terrorist because you want to live solely for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala. 

If you stop living for Allah, you become this person’s best friend. In other words, you are a terrorist because you are a Muslim. And for them, the greatest terrorism is Islam. However, in reality, the greatest terrorists are those who do not allow those who wish to live solely for the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala to live in harmony!

TOLERATING THE CULPRIT

Abolition of death penalty, hand amputation and stoning to death for offences such as crimes, theft and adultery represents supporting and tolerating those who are guilty. Tolerance towards the guilty ones represents insecurity of the innocent ones. The world will not be able to live in harmony as long as it is not monitored according to the manual of the One who has created it. 

The Supreme Creator is Allah Ta’ala alone. The manual that He has granted for the smooth functioning of this world is the Qur’an-e-Kareem. According to this manual, the culprits must be punished according to their crimes and offences in order to safeguard and guarantee peace, harmony, tranquillity, protection and security for everyone. 

You are not doing a person any good by leaving a cancerous organ in him and not removing it. The person will end up without a hand, a foot or an eye. However, at the end his entire body will be sound. Otherwise, after few days, you will have to bury him 6 feet underground. Similarly, few cancerous individuals who are causing harm to the society in general, must be eliminated to clean the society and let every individual of this society breathe the freshness of freedom, security and well-being. Otherwise, it would be a rotten society where the good people will be confined to their homes like the prisoners and the criminals will have fun outside. To prevent this, there is only one solution. It is to govern the world according to the manual of the Supreme Creator which is the Qur'an-e-Kareem.
