يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَأۡكُلُوٓاْ أَمۡوَٰلَكُم بَيۡنَكُم بِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةً عَن تَرَاضٖ مِّنكُمۡۚ وَلَا تَقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمۡ رَحِيمٗا

29. O believers! Do not consume one another's wealth unjustly [117], except through mutual consent in trade [118]. And do not kill yourselves [119]. Indeed, Allah is Ever Merciful to you.

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 29

وَلَوۡ أَنَّا كَتَبۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ أَنِ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ أَوِ ٱخۡرُجُواْ مِن دِيَٰرِكُم مَّا فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ أَنَّهُمۡ فَعَلُواْ مَا يُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ لَكَانَ خَيۡرٗا لَّهُمۡ وَأَشَدَّ تَثۡبِيتٗا

66. And if We had to make it obligatory [222] upon them that kill yourselves and go out leaving your homes [223], then only a few of them would have done so [224]. And if they do what they are advised, then it was better for them and stronger in establishing faith [225].

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 66

سَتَجِدُونَ ءَاخَرِينَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَأۡمَنُوكُمۡ وَيَأۡمَنُواْ قَوۡمَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَا رُدُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ أُرۡكِسُواْ فِيهَاۚ فَإِن لَّمۡ يَعۡتَزِلُوكُمۡ وَيُلۡقُوٓاْ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلسَّلَمَ وَيَكُفُّوٓاْ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكُمۡ جَعَلۡنَا لَكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٗا مُّبِينٗا

91. Now you will find others who wish to be safe from you and safe [287] from their own people. Whenever they are called back to mischief [288], they fall headlong into it. If they do not withdraw from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill [290] them wherever you find them. We have given you clear authority [291] against such people.

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 91

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ أَن يَقۡتُلَ مُؤۡمِنًا إِلَّا خَطَـٔٗاۚ وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤۡمِنًا خَطَـٔٗا فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖ وَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يَصَّدَّقُواْۚ فَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمٍ عَدُوّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِن قَوۡمِۭ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٞ فَدِيَةٞ مُّسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مُّؤۡمِنَةٖۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ تَوۡبَةٗ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمٗا

92. And it is not befitting for a believer (Muslim) to kill a believer except by mistake [292]. If anyone kills a believer unintentionally, then he must free a Muslim slave and pay blood money (restitution) to the family of the deceased, unless they forgo [293] their right. But if the deceased was from a people who are hostile to you, and he himself [294] was a believer, then the obligation is only to free a Muslim slave. And if he was from a people with whom you have a pact [295], then blood compensation should be paid to his family along with freeing a believing slave [296]. However, if someone cannot find the means to do this, they should fast for two consecutive months. This is repentance accepted by Allah [297]. And Allah is Ever-Knowing, All-Wise.

Surah Name : An-Nisa   Surah Number : 4   Ayat Number: 92

وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ فَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

54. And (recall) when Musa said to his people: "O my people! Indeed, you have wronged yourselves by taking the calf for worship. So, repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [99] (the guilty among you). That is best for you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance. Surely, He is the Most-Relenting, the Merciful.

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 54

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَقَفَّيۡنَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ بِٱلرُّسُلِۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَا عِيسَى ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَأَيَّدۡنَٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلۡقُدُسِۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَآءَكُمۡ رَسُولُۢ بِمَا لَا تَهۡوَىٰٓ أَنفُسُكُمُ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتُمۡ فَفَرِيقٗا كَذَّبۡتُمۡ وَفَرِيقٗا تَقۡتُلُونَ

87.[161] And verily We bestowed upon Musa the Scripture and then appointed Messengers of Allah (Rasools) in sequence. And we clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit (the angel bestowed upon Isa, son of Mariam Jibraeel) (162). But is it (not) that every time a Messenger came to you with what your souls did not desire, you became arrogant? (163). falsify a group (Messengers of Allah) and you kill another group (164).

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 87

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤۡمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُۥ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا مَعَهُمۡۗ قُلۡ فَلِمَ تَقۡتُلُونَ أَنۢبِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ مِن قَبۡلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

91. And when it is said to them: "Believe in what Allah has revealed," [172] they say: "We believe only in what was revealed to us." And they reject what came besides it, though it is the truth, confirming [173] what is with them. Say (O Muhammad): "Then why did you kill the Prophets of Allah before, [174] if you were indeed believers?"

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 91

وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ ثَقِفۡتُمُوهُمۡ وَأَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ أَخۡرَجُوكُمۡۚ وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنَ ٱلۡقَتۡلِۚ وَلَا تُقَٰتِلُوهُمۡ عِندَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ حَتَّىٰ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمۡ فِيهِۖ فَإِن قَٰتَلُوكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡۗ كَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

191. And slay [435] them wherever you find them, and turn [436] them out from where they have turned you out; and mischief [437] is worse than murder. And do not fight them near the Sacred Mosque unless they fight you therein. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 191

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّهۡرِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ قِتَالٖ فِيهِۖ قُلۡ قِتَالٞ فِيهِ كَبِيرٞۚ وَصَدٌّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَكُفۡرُۢ بِهِۦ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ وَإِخۡرَاجُ أَهۡلِهِۦ مِنۡهُ أَكۡبَرُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱلۡفِتۡنَةُ أَكۡبَرُ مِنَ ٱلۡقَتۡلِۗ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَرُدُّوكُمۡ عَن دِينِكُمۡ إِنِ ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْۚ وَمَن يَرۡتَدِدۡ مِنكُمۡ عَن دِينِهِۦ فَيَمُتۡ وَهُوَ كَافِرٞ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتۡ أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَصۡحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ

217. They ask you (O Muhammad) about fighting in the sacred month. Say: "Fighting therein is a great sin [507], but to prevent someone from the Way of Allah and disbelief in Him, and preventing access to Masjid-al-Haraam, and driving out its residents are greater sins [508] in the sight of Allah. Mischief is more grievous than killing [509]. And they will continue to fight you until they force you to renounce your faith [510] if they can. And whoever of you turns back from his faith [511] and dies as a disbeliever, for them, their deeds have become worthless in this world [512] and in the Hereafter, and they are the inmates of the Fire, and they will abide therein forever.

155.And Musa chose seventy men of his people for Our promised appointment [337]. Then when an earthquake overtook [338] them, Musa submitted: "O my Lord!
