Respect rights of others including unborn children .

This hadith narrates the ruling of the Messenger of Allah concerning a woman who killed another woman and her fetus. Hamal bin Malik stood up to explain that he was married to two women, one of whom struck the other with a tent pole and killed her as well as her unborn child. The Prophet ruled that a slave should be given as diyah for the fetus and that she should be killed for killing the other woman. This hadith teaches us about justice in Islam; it shows us how even an unborn child has rights which must be respected by giving diyah if it is wrongfully taken away from its parents. It also teaches us about accountability; no matter what our status or position in society may be, we are all accountable for our actions before Allah Almighty.
