Epigraph:
O ye who believe! equitable retaliation in the matter of the slain is prescribed for you: the free man for the free man, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if one is granted any remission by one’s brother, … And whoso transgresses thereafter, for him there shall be a grievous punishment.
And there is life for you in the law of retaliation, O men of understanding, that you may enjoy security. (Al Quran 2:179-180)
