Zakir Naik – Islam Condemns all forms of Terrorism

			Qur'an mentions explicitly in Surah Maidah, chapter
		

			number 5, verse number 32, If anyone kills
		

			any other human being, unless it be for
		

			murder or for spreading corruption in the land,
		

			it is as though he has killed the
		

			whole of humanity.
		

			The Qur'an says, if any human being
		

			kills any other innocent human being, whether Muslim
		

			or non-Muslim, it is as though he
		

			has killed the whole of humanity.
		

			And the verse continues, if anyone saves any
		

			human being, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, it
		

			is as though he has saved the whole
		

			of humanity.
		

			I being a student of comparative religion, I
		

			have not come across any verse in any
		

			scripture besides the Qur'an, which is so
		

			explicit against terrorism, against killing innocent human beings.
		

			It says that if any human being kills
		

			any other human being who is innocent, whether
		

			Muslim or non-Muslim, it is as though
		

			he has killed the whole of humanity.
		

			And I have not come across any verse
		

			in any other scripture, any other religious scripture
		

			besides the Qur'an, which promotes the prevention
		

			of terrorism.
		

			And it says, if any human being saves
		

			any human life, whether Muslim or non-Muslim,
		

			it is as though he has saved the
		

			whole of humankind.
		

			Islam condemns all forms of terrorism.
		

			Islam condemns the killing of any innocent human
		

			being, irrespective of caste, colour, creed, irrespective of
		

			which nationality he belongs to, irrespective of which
		

			religion he belongs to.
