وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا 93
OCCASION OF REVELATION. (VERSE NO. 93)
MAGHIS- IBN - SABBÄBIH, found the slain body of his brother (HESHÄM) in the parish of BANINAJAR, and he referred the case to the Messenger of God. The prophet sent him, in accompany with a believer of the same tribe, named GHEIS- IBN- HALAL, to the chiefs of BANINAJÄR asking them to hand over the murderer if it is known to them; and if not, pay the bloodwit. Not knowing who had killed the victim, they paid the bloodmoney to his brother MAGHIS, and they both returned. In their way back to Medina, Maghis was affected by evil thoughts of paganism, and at once rushed upon his fellow traveller, GHIS- IBN- HALAL who belonged to the tribe of BANINAJJAR, and killed him in order to avenge his brother's murder! He did that and escaped to Mecca and recanted Islam too. Hearing that, the prophet condemned him to death, and the above verse revealed to this effect. Following the decree for him who kills a believer by mistake and without any guilty intention, the argument is now about wilful murder of a believer, for whom four punishments are ordained: 1- Whoever slays a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to burn therein forever. 2- The wrath of Allah will fall upon him! 3- He will be driven far off from God's Mercy, because God will curse him. 4- A great punishment is prepared for him. Security of our community, is one of the most important factors of man's well being and safe living, and therefore Allah has taken unreasonable murder of an individual as important as killing the whole population, and all the people.THE RECOMPENSE OF WILFUL MURDER
