And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority to demand retribution; but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life, for he is helped by the law. —Al-Isra, 17.33...Quote | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Anger, Caring, Islam, Multiculturalism, Peace, Wisdom
