God Has Condemned Wickedness

God has commanded people to avoid committing evil: oppression,
cruelty, murder and bloodshed are all forbidden. A few of the many
verses on this matter in the Qur'an read:

Eat and drink of God's provision and do not go about the earth cor-
rupting it. (Qur'an, 2:60)

Do not corrupt the earth after it has been put right. Call on Him fear-

fully and eagerly. God's mercy is close to the good-doers. (Qur'an,
7:56)

Those who think that they will be successful by causing wicked-
ness, upheaval and oppression, and by killing innocent people are
committing a great error. God has forbidden all acts of wickedness

In Surat al-Ma'ida, verse 32, God says that
if anyone kills someone unjustly, it is as if
he had murdered all mankind. To murder
even one person is totally opposed to the
moral teaching of the Qur'an.
