Qur'an 5:32

·      If anyone killed a person—unless it was for murder or for spreading mischief in the land—it would be as if he killed the whole people.

Qur'an 47:4

Qur'an 4:74

·      Those who readily fight in the cause of God are those who forsake this world in favor of the Hereafter. Whoever fights in the cause of God, then gets killed, or attains victory, we will surely grant him a great recompense.
