If the disbelievers kill a Muslims, revenge and retribution has been prescribed. However if a Muslim ever happens to murder a Muslim, the relative of the murderer, or if they like, they can grant him (i.e. the murderer) forgiveness because they belong to the same Islamic brotherhood. But to seek revenge on a disbelievers is binding except that accepts Islam
O ye who believe "Retribution is prescribed for you in the matter of murder;
(Al-Baqrah:178)
In 6 A.h, the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) approach Makkah with no other intention than to perform Umrah.
He had no intention, at
all, to fight, but the disbelievers would not allowed him to perform Umrah. Even then he avoided
fighting. He sent Uthman (Allah be Pleased with him) as an envoy to Makkah to negotiation prolong and Uthamn's arrival was
considerably delayed. The Muslims began to suspect to foul play on the part of
Quresh. Somehow they came to believe that Uthman had been murdered at the hands of Quresh.
When the Allah's Messenger learnt this news, he declared that they (the Muslims) would depart from that place only when they had taken the revenge of Uthman's
murder. Then fourteen hundred companions of the prophet took soeman ledge at the hand of prophet that they could sacrifice their lives to avenge the death of Uthman .When the news of pledge reached to
disbelievers, they at once
dispatched Uthman back to Allah's Messenger and his companions.
It goes without saying that the Muslims had taken this solemn pledge to avenge the death of Uthman .Allah
Ta'ala put his seal of approval and pleasure on this oath and made it public for every
through the Holy Quran.
Indeed ,Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave their Bai's (pledge) to you (O Muhammad Peace be Upon
Him) Under tree:
(Al-fath:18)
Hundreds and thousands of the Muslims have been and are being killed in India & Kashmir. Modest and virtuous Muslim women are being raped and molested there by the Hindus. Are we not to retaliate against these brutalities? Twenty - five hundred thousand
Muslims were mercilessly butchered in 1947. We are still to avenge their death. Twenty-five thousand of the Muslim women who were kidnapped in 1947 by the Hindus and the Sikhs are still in their possession, giving birth to Hindus and Sikhs. Who is going to exact full retribution for such heinous and inhuman crimes committed by the disbelievers? In Chins, Russia, Albania and
Yugoslavia millions of innocent Muslims were put to death in the name of Revolution. The rest were forced to convert to Communism. A few months back in Bosnia 23 thousand Muslims were slaughtered just in a day. How long will we have to wait before we settle scores with the brutal Serbs?
