A story of forgiveness and second chances, a story of the beauty of the sharia.

Saudi father pardons his son’s killer if he memorizes the whole Quran

A Saudi father pardoned his son’s killer if he successfully memorized the Holy Quran, a local newspaper reported on Saturday.

Rabi’a al-Dousary, father of the slain young man named Abdullah, promised to pardon the convicted felon, Faisal al-Ameri, if he successfully memorized all of the Holy Quran before leaving prison, al-Yawm Saudi newspaper reported.

Ameri was sentenced to death for killing Dousary during a quarrel that erupted in their neighborhood.

The Higher Committee of Correction in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom has persuaded the father to forgive and pardon Ameri.

The father, who refused to receive any blood money, to teach the Ameri a far more valuable lesson, insisted on one condition: the killer to fully memorize the Quran before his acquittal from prison.

The killer, Faisal al-Ameri, kisses the forehead of Rabi’a al-Dousary, the father of the young man he killed.

Killing over a quarrel happens everywhere.... It could have been accidental afterall...

They applied the sharia in this case the right way... whatever issues you have against the saudis does not affect this particular incident... This is a beautiful story.

Stop this unnecessary negativity...

subhannallah!May Allah soften our heart

@lagoshia, this ur obsession with wahabbis is turning to something else, what has this story got to do with all this wahhabi ranting. I think this should prove to us once again that sharia law is heads and shoulders above any man made law. Keep ur wahhabi bashing for another thread abeg

.

I am really ashamed for LagosShia on what he has done on this thread. It is absolutely shocking.

i dey laugh!

mashaAllah.

The Father did the better thing. After all, killing the other man would not bring his son back to life.

Salam Alaykum, the theme of this thread is simple and clear. I am not going to tolerate it being turned into a "Shia/Sunni" bickering show. There simply is no basis for it here.

@Toba, whatever your opinions are, kindly refrain from helping to derail this thread.

Thank you.
