Title: Killing a Boy
Post by: Sardar Miyan on May 08, 2015, 03:44:20 AM

There is a narration in Surah Kahaf that a person accompanying Prophet Musa killed a boy as per the
following Ayaat :--
Kahaf
فَانطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَامًا فَقَتَلَهُ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ لَّقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْئًا نُّكْرًا
18:74
So they went on until, when they met a boy, he slew him. (Musa) said: Have you slain an innocent person otherwise than for manslaughter? Certainly you have done an evil thing.
وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَا أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا
18-80
And as for the boy, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should make disobedience and ingratitude to come upon them:
What kind of lesson we get from this incident?
