| Execution of Businessman
In Iraq
The MWL extends its heartfelt prayers to
the family of Nicholas Berg. The MWL condemns this heinous act of violence
committed against an innocent human being. God has given us the gift of
life to cherish and has commanded us to live in peace. He has sent down
his guidance to encourage us towards the path of righteousness with our
deeds and repel all that is evil and destructive. God reveals in the Quran
(with regards to the value of life): "Therefore, we ordained unto the
Children of Israel that whoever slays a human being, unless it be (in
legitimate punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption on earth,
shall be as if he/she had slain the whole humanity altogether; and whoever
saves a (human) life, shall be as if he/she had saved the whole of
humanity together" (Verse 5:32). May God have mercy on us and guide
us with His infinite wisdom.
