Retaliation
Retaliation-القِصاص
- The sword rents asunder and the religion joins together; for religion commands good and the sword forbids evil. Allah, the Exalted, says: Indeed in retaliation there is life for you.
1ـ اَلسَيْفُ فاتِقٌ، والدّينُ راتِقٌ، فَالدّينُ يَأمُرُ بِالمَعْرُوفِ،
والسَّيْفُ يَنْهى عَنِ المُنْكَرِ، قالَ اللّهُ تَعالى: ﴿ولَكُمْ فِي القِصاصِ حَيوةٌ﴾.
- And retaliation [has been ordained] as a prevention of bloodshed and the execution of punishments [has been ordained] for realising the importance of prohibitions.
2 ـ والقِصاصَ حَقْناً لِلدِّماءِ، وإقامَةَ الحُدُودِ إعْظاماً
لِلْمَحارِمِ.
