"Do not take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right." {{Qref|17|33|s=y|b=y}}

"That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity." {{Qref|5|32|s=y|b=yl}}

"˹They are˺ those who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right,<sup>1</sup> nor commit fornication. And whoever does ˹any of˺ this will face the penalty." {{Qref|25|68|s=y|b=y}}
