''broken whose blood you have shed and whose honour you have desecrated? You have certainly committed such a crime because of which the sky may fall down on the earth, the earth may crack and mountains crumble to pieces.

For Him there is no fear that the time of vengeance is passing away. Allah is certainly keeping watch over you.”'' | ''broken whose blood you have shed and whose honour you have desecrated?
