Sûrah ash Shura 42.41-42
But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
The blame is only against those who oppress by wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous
Sûrah an Nisa' 4.135
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do."
Sûrah an Nisa' 4.58
"Behold, God bids you to deliver all that you have been entrusted with unto those who are entitled thereto, and whenever you judge between people, to judge with justice. Verily, most excellent is what God exhorts you to do: verily, God is all-hearing, all-seeing!"
Sûrah an Nisa' 4.148-149:
"God loves not that evil should be noised abroad in public speech, except where injustice hath been done; for God is He who heareth and knoweth all things. Whether ye publish a good deed or conceal it or cover evil with pardon, verily God doth blot out (sins) and hath power (in the judgment of values)."
Sûrah ad Duha 93.10
And him that seeks thy help shalt thou never chide.
Sûrah 7.33
Say: My Lord has forbidden all atrocities, whether overt or disguised, and harm (ithm).
Sûrah Baqarah 2.217
Oppression is worse than killing
Sûrah al Anfâl 8.39
And fight against them until there is no more oppression and all worship is devoted to God alone.
Sûrah 81:8-9
And when the female (infant) buried alive shall be questioned. For what sin was she killed?
(Note: Is there a difference in physical killing and emotional killing?)
