ISLAM AND TERRORISM Islam is a religion of mercy and does not permit terrorism. In the Qur’an, God has said: “Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes—from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.” {Surat Al-Mumtahinah (Chapter 60), Verse 8} In addition, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once listed murder as the second of the major sins, and he warned that the first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed. Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said: “A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.”
