"If anyone slays a person,
unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land,
it would be as if he slew all people.
And if anyone saves a life,
it would be as if he saved the life of all people."

- Qur'an 5:32

Discuss Islam

The Islam Forum is a place to share with others, ask questions, discuss, and try to come to understanding.

"Do not be people without minds of your own,
saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well,
and that if they do wrong you will do wrong.
Rather, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good,
and not to do wrong if they do evil."

- The Prophet Muhammad (reported by Tirmidhi)
