There are More Verses of Killing in the Hindu Scriptures as Compared to the Qur’aan — Dr Zakir Naik
TJIP-14
And you pick up any religious scripture, I’m a student of comparative religion, I’ve read the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bible, Old Testament, New Testament, Sikh scriptures, Jain Scriptures, I’ve read it. And you find that in certain occasion or the other almost all the scriptures, some way or the other they have mentioned fighting, they have mentioned killing. I can give quotation, if you read the Bible, in the Book of Exodus of the Old Testament, Chapter No. 22 Verse No. 18 to 20, it says, ‘Kill’.
Exodus Chapter No. 32 says, ‘Kill’.
Numbers, says, ‘Kill’.
New Testament, if you read Luke, in the Gospel of Luke, it says ‘Kill’.
And if you remember the story of the Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) when he goes to the Garden of Gethsemane he tells to one of his apostles to take a sword and stand there and that Apostle, he uses the sword to chop off the ear.
So you find that fighting has been prescribed in almost all the scriptures. You read the Hindu Scriptures, Mahabharata is a scripture it is what? Bhagwad Gita Chapter No. 2, and you know, that when Arjun, when he feels sad, that when he has to fight his relatives. Arjun says, how can I kill my relatives, there are thousands of people ahead, in front of me, how can I kill them? So lord Arjun, Arjun, he is given guidance by lord Krishna. And lord Krishna tells him, that as far as for the truth when you are on the truth, you don’t have to see who is in front of you, whether it’s your relatives or who it is. And that is correct; truth prevails much more higher than the blood relations.
Same thing the Qur’an says in
Surah Nisa, Chapter No. 4, Verse No. 135,
“Yaa aiyuhal lazeena aamanu”
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as truth to Almighty God, even if it be against yourself, against your parents, against the rich or against the poor, Allah protects all.
So if you study all the Scriptures, all the scriptures some way or the other, Sometime or the other they have mentioned about fighting. That doesn’t mean you pick up the verse of Exodus, you pick up the verse of Bhagwad Gita and say that you know Bhagwat Gita says, that you have to kill your relatives, it’s out of context. So here we have to analyze that to get a communal harmony, the best thing we have to do, is we have to go back to our scriptures. If you go back to our scriptures, you will come to know, what is mentioned in the scripture, which is the authentic source of every religion.
And we find that the Qur’an says in
Surah Maidah Chapter No. 5 Verse 32, it says that,
“If anyone kills any human being, whether it be Muslim or Non-Muslim, unless it be for murder or for creating mischief in the land, it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity.”
The Qur’an says, “If any human being whether Muslim or a Non-Muslim, kills any other human being, whether Muslim or Non-Muslim, unless it be for murder or for creating mischief in the land, it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity”, and the verse continues…
“And if anyone saves any human being it is as though he has saved the whole nation.”
