Moses said: Be not wroth with me that I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my fault. (73) So they twain journeyed on till, when they met a lad, he slew him. (Moses) said: What! Hast thou slain an innocent soul who hath slain no man? Verily thou hast done a horrid thing. (74)

پھر دونوں چلے، یہاں تک کہ ایک لڑکے کو پایا، اس نے اسے مار ڈاﻻ، موسیٰ نے کہا کہ کیا آپ نے ایکپاک جان کو بغیر کسی جان کے عوض مار ڈاﻻ؟ بےشک آپ نے تو بڑی ناپسندیده حر�

Al-Kahf 18:74
Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Mûsa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukr" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!"
Translation : Eng-Dr-Mohsin

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَـٰمً۬ا فَقَتَلَهُ ۥ قَالَ أَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسً۬ا زَكِيَّةَۢ بِغَيۡرِ نَفۡسٍ۬ لَّقَدۡ جِئۡتَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا نُّكۡرً۬ا (

Al-Maida 5:8
O ye who believe! Be steadfast witnesses for Allah in equity, and let not hatred of any people
seduce you that ye deal not justly. Deal justly, that is nearer to your duty. Observe your duty to Allah.
Lo! Allah is Informed of what ye do.

{ يا أيها الذين آمنوا كونوا قوامين } قائمين { لله } بحقوقه { شهداء بالقسط } بالعدل { ولا يجرمنكم } يحملنكم { شنَآن } بغض { قوم } أي الكفار { على ألاَّ تعدلوا } فتنالوا منهم لعدواتهم { إعدلوا } في العدو والولي { هو } أي العدل { أقرب للتقوى واتقوا الله إن الله خبير بما تعملون } فيجازيكم

What does this verse (ayet) mean?

When combined with Al-Kahf 18:74, it means that it is not lawful if we retaliate on the innocent
on the opposite side for what had been done to our innocent victims and children.

"Let not the hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly."

In this you have been mistaken, and Allah could not take part with such injustice against His
Word. Repent, and return to Him, and He will return to you.

As we are accountable to God LORD of the Worlds, Creator of uncountable Universes, and to our
conscience, we must not allow our righteous anger because of our innocent casualties be directed
towards the innocent followers of the Book whom previous Scriptures have been revealed - even on
the opposite side.

Remember that father Abraham [Ibrahim] interceded for entire Sodom before angel of Allah for
just one family!

And what did God say: "For the sake of ten righteous souls, I will spare the entire city." (Genesis 18:32)

Ten righteous souls were not found in Sodom, but God saved all righteous dwelling within: Lot and
his daughters for his sake.

Sometimes justice is seeming too slow. Satan disguises as an angel of light and corrupts with
flattery and seduction. But I do not want you to be seduced now when the time is critical and one
has to think with a cool head despite your horror loss.

I do not want you to persist in slaughter of the innocent lambs, for the sake of your very souls,
as it is written:

"For Thy sake they kill us all day long, and we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
Amen
