No one is above the law !!!

Read these, and notice the pattern.


2.61: And (remember) when you (sons of Israel) said, "O Mûsa (Moses)! We cannot endure one kind of food. So invoke your Lord for us to bring forth for us of what the earth grows, its herbs, its cucumbers, its Fûm (wheat or garlic), its lentils and its onions." He said, "Would you exchange that which is better for that which is lower? Go you down to any town and you shall find what you want!" And they were covered with humiliation and misery, and they drew on themselves the Wrath of Allâh. That was because they used to disbelieve the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and killed the Prophets wrongfully. That was because they disobeyed and used to
transgress the bounds (in their disobedience to Allâh, i.e. commit crimes and sins).

Also in:
3.21: Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, … announce to them a painful torment.

and again:
3.112: Indignity is put over them wherever they may be, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allâh, and from men; they have drawn on themselves the Wrath of Allâh, and destruction is put over them. This is because they disbelieved in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh and killed the Prophets without right. This is because they disobeyed (Allâh) and used to transgress beyond bounds (in Allâh's disobedience, crimes and sins).


3.181: Indeed, Allâh has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allâh is poor and we are rich!" We shall record what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly, and We shall say: "Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire)."

4.155: Because of their breaking the covenant, and of their rejecting the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, and of their killing the Prophets unjustly, and of their saying: "Our hearts are wrapped (with coverings, i.e. we do not understand what the Messengers say)" - nay, Allâh has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little.


No one is above the law. A strange lesson to learn from these verses. However, wasn't it enough to say killing prophets? Was it necessary to say with no right? Yes, it was necessary, because no one is above the law. So, if killing prophets needs an addition of "no reason" to increase the gravity of the sin, this, in a way, shows that it might be acceptable, if they were rightfully accused.

The only time in the Quran where killing/murdering prophets was not associated with "wrongfully" or "unjustly" was:
2.91: And when it is said to them (the Jews), "Believe in what Allâh has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us." And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to them): "Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allâh aforetime, if you indeed have been believers?"

This was in the form of a question. Surely, to be fair, let them say it themselves: "there was no righteous reason, we killed them for our mere anger, jealousy, ego, ..."

The sin was: "killing with no reason". In a rightful, just court, everyone should be put to trial regardless of rank, class, wealth, social position, etc. The perfect example was given.

That's Islam... justice. Pure, simple, and strong justice.
