Whoever KILL a Believer…
وَمَن قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا
خَطَأً
wa man QaTaLa mu'minan
khata'an..
and whoever KillED a
believer by mistake... [al Nisa 4:92]
وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا
مُّتَعَمِّدًا
wa man yaQtul mu'minan
muta'ammidan...
whoever KillS a
believer on purpose... [al Nisa 4:93]
Past tense implies: the event occuring Once [in the Past].
Present-Future tense implies: Continuity
[it
may happen again in the Future].
The one who does it by mistake
will not do it again, but the one who
kills intentionally, may repeatedly do it.
This is why - the one
who does it purposelly should be punished (i.e. a life for a life.) The one who does it
unintentionally - he can pay blood money.
