Reading the Qur’an in Iraq

“In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful . . . whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.”

— Sûrah Al-Maeda V, 32

——
With the inverse also being acknowledged, God has known from the moment Cain slew Abel that the life of all mankind was destined for ruin.
