32.
For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever
killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth,
it shall be as if he had killed all mankind. And whoso saveth the life of
one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. And Our
messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty),
but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.

Commentary
‘Ajli – (the cause, the aim, the soul or essence), a mankind is collection of
two things; the body and the soul. Actually, living thing is “the soul”. The
body is living due to the soul. So, the mankind is soul in truth.
Fasaad – (infringement,
violation, breach of law), trying to break a formed thing is called fasaad.
‘Al-Bayyinaat – (conspicuous
things), it is plural of bayyinatun, which means “clear proof”. Here it
aims “the matters relating to the Divine command, or the tokens about the truth
of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him).
Lamus-rifuun – (the
prodigals), it is from ‘asraaf, which means “to cross the limit, to
molest, to violate”.
After describing the tale of Abel and Cain, now it
is being mentioned that Cain (was the first mankind, who killed another mankind
due to discomfiture of jealousy, rage and desire) opened the door of slaying
for the entire human beings by killing Abel. Before him nobody killed anyone.
After this bad act, the people began to slay one another unhesitatingly. Thus
far that, the need to stop this practice was arisen and every Prophet (peace be
upon Him) guided the people and forbade them from killing others.
Due to this reason, the Children of Israel has been
commanded, “It is equal to kill the entire people by slaughtering anyone
innocent without any ground and decision of the court, because in resemblance
of one, others will be prepared to slay one another”. “And whoso saved the life
of someone and did not kill although he had anger and outrage, then it shall be
as if he had arranged to save the life of all the mankind”. A person does often
that, what he looks being done by others. So, if anyone will do good works, in
his imitation, others will also do good works, and if one will do evil, others
will commit evils too by seeing him.
