Allah clearly States in The Quran (interpretation of meaning), &#8220;Allah does not forbid you from dealing kindly and fairly with those who have neither fought nor driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are fair. Allah only forbids you from befriending those who have fought you for \u02f9your\u02fa faith, driven you out of your homes, or supported \u02f9others\u02fa in doing so. And whoever takes them as friends, then it is they who are the \u02f9true\u02fa wrongdoers&#8221; (Quran 60:8-9). These Verses show that Muslims are prohibited to treat the non-Muslims who don&#8217;t try to harm them in a bad or unjust manner, let alone killing them. In another Verse, Allah States (interpretation of meaning), &#8220;That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life\u2014unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land\u2014it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity&#8221; (Quran 5:32). This Verse shows the value Allah has put on just one innocent soul.
