Abstract
Islam is a religion of peace, protection and prosperity. This religion was brought by Hazrat Muhammad (PBAUH) about 1400 years ago. This religion was named by Allah as "Islam". And it is due to its nature of peace and the protection of the lives. This is not a simple saying but based on real facts. The word Islam is derived from "SALAMAT" which means "being protected from all kinds of life threatening things." Second most important word in Islam is "EEMAAN ". In the holy Quraan it is used for having faith on the religion of Islam. The word "EEMAAN" is derived from "AMAN" (Peace). Before Islam there was a tradition in Arabs that whenever any of their enemies surrenders and hands over himself to them, they give him "AMAAN ". After giving "AMAAN ", they were legally and ethically bound and responsible to save him from all kinds of life threatening things. It calls in Arabic "AMAAN ". In this situation the derivation of the word "EEMAAN" from "AMAN" and "AMAAN" is meaningful for the world of intellectuals. The name of this religion "ISLAM" and the faith on this religion "EEMAAN" both are indicating the peace, protection and prosperity for human being. Islam doesn't allow any kind of brutality and sabotage of human assets. A willful murder or homicide of any of human being is strictly prohibited in Islam unless it is a sort of execution under the law procedure. Keeping in view the above mentioned facts we are very clear that the Holy Quraan by using term of " "AL-QATLAA) in Al-Baqarah: 178, provides the law of " " against a general massacre. Discussing the Quraanic term " " , this research is enlightening the theme in a different angle and a meaningful manner.
