3 meanwhile, Pakistan and Turkey have helped out by having some aircraft sit on runways in Saudi Arabi

powerful military arsenals and personnel but so far, pretty much useless in this conflict as much of the population of the Taiz region is being starved to death by the Houthis

quran says don't kill muslims

The Quran explicitly prohibits the killing of innocent Muslims, stating that **deliberately slaying a committed Muslim** results in eternal Hellfire and divine rejection (Surah 4:93). It further establishes the sanctity of human life by declaring that **killing one person unjustly is as if he had slain mankind entirely**, while saving one life is as if he had saved all of humanity (Surah 5:32).

**Key prohibitions and context include:**

* **Absolute Prohibition**: The text forbids taking life except by legal right, emphasizing that faith cannot be coerced (Surah 2:256).
* **Protection of Covenants**: Killing a *Mu'ahid* (a non-Muslim granted protection by Muslims) is strictly forbidden and considered a major sin.
* **Context of Warfare Verses**: Verses often cited for violence, such as Surah 9:5 or 2:191, are interpreted by scholars as applying **only to specific polytheists who violated treaties** or initiated hostilities, not to Muslims or peaceful non-believers.
* **Peace Mandate**: The Quran instructs believers to incline toward peace if the enemy does so (Surah 8:61) and to deal justly with those who do not fight them (Surah 60:8).
