Reverting to Disbelief Through Killing

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned against reverting to disbelief by killing each other.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not revert to disbelief after me by striking (cutting) the necks of one another".
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي وَاقِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا، يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against reverting to disbelief after him by killing one another. This hadith is a reminder that we should not take the law into our own hands and resort to violence when we disagree with someone or something. We should instead strive for peace and understanding in order to maintain unity within the Muslim community. It is important for us as Muslims to remember that taking someone's life is a serious matter and it should only be done in extreme cases where there is no other option available. We must also remember that Allah alone has the right of judgement over all matters and it is not up to us as humans to decide who lives or dies.
