[5:32]
For that cause We decreed for the Children of
Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption
in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the
life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our
messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty),
but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in
the earth.
[5:33]
The only reward of those who make war upon Allah
and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they
will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides
cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in
the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;
[5:34]
Save those who repent before ye overpower them. For know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[5:35]
O ye who believe! Be mindful of your duty to
Allah, and seek the way of approach unto Him, and strive in His way in order
that ye may succeed.
[5:36]
As for those who disbelieve, lo! if all that is in the earth were theirs, and as much again
therewith, to ransom them from the doom on the Day of Resurrection, it would
not be accepted from them. Theirs will be a painful doom.
