The Second Major Sin – Murder.
Allah (swt) says in the glorious Quran:
“And if anyone kills a believer deliberately, his recompense is Hell, to remain therein forever. And Allah’s anger will be upon him and His curse, and a great punishment will be prepared from him.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:93)
And,
“[The servants of the Most-Merciful are, among others,] Those who do not call upon any other god together with Allah, nor kill any person who Allah has prohibited (killing) except in (the course of) justice, nor commit Zina (fornication or adultery)- and whoever does that will incur guilt; the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection and he will remain in it forever, disgraced, excepting the one who repents and believes and acts righteously.” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:68-70)
And also,
“On account of that (the killing of one of the descendants of Adam by his brother), we prescribed for the Children of Israel that if someone kills a person, unless it is (retaliation) for the murder of another or for spreading corruption on earth, it will be as if he had killed the whole of man-kind…” (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:32)
And in another verse,
“When the girl who was buried (alive) is asked for what crime she was killed…” (Surah At-Takwir 81:8-9)
