Answer 1

Answer:

A : According to the statement, the Qur’an teaches that each individual’s life has equal value

Explanation:

According to the text of the Qur'an shown in the question above, we can consider that Islam considers that the life of each and every human being has the same value, regardless of the differences, the personalities and the actions that each one does.

For having the same value, it means that by killing someone (even if he is a criminal, a hateful and evil person) you will be killing all people, including the innocent, the kind and the progressive. The same goes for those who can save a soul.
