I will be grateful if someone can help shed some light on a topic for me. I am not converted yet but I have started reading the quran and would like someone guidance who is more experienced. What does the quran say about hurting/punishing/ and not sure those are the right words for someone who has hurt or abused us? I was recently having this discussion with someone who is close to me (who is muslim ), we were speaking of some personal issues in my life and they were saying to me that the quran gives the permission back to the one who was hurt before to hurt the other and that I should hurt them...I have not read much yet in quran to debate this but I was feeling in strong disagreement.
Again please bear in mind I have not converted yet, but growing up in a christian family we were taught to turn the other cheek and that its better to forgive, that punishment and judgement alone are for Allah.
Please brother and sisters can you shed some light on this, as this young brother feels too strong that I should do something really to hurt this other person and I am really feeling nervous and against it, I feel that it may be something haram, and not only that but I would have to live with my concience all my life even if someone hurts me I dont agree to hurt someone unless my life was in danger in that very moment.
please I need help as I have began to feel very stressed and nervous..
if anyone needs more detail I will happy to speak of this..
Thank you brother and sisters for your help
